You can change the number and increase the polling time of installations in the settings of each miner
Example 1 asic with AM polling at 60 seconds = 12-14 mb/day

is there any way to limit or schedule bandwidth usage? AM is hitting about 1.5gb a day and it's killing my 50gb a month limit.

@JACKSEG, I have similar problems with this in the past, now it's been somewhat negated by profit profile setting tweaks. mainly, if exists in your configuration, I'd suggest totally ignore the stopping clocking profile (uncheck that box for all algos, you can use bulk edit for that), like patrike suggests, it seems to fail with frequent switching and unchecking it will take away extra layer of complexity in your miners' switching operation

This would be of great convenience as co-location is very common among enthusiast miners and I too pay fixed fee (per month, some per day) for some of my rigs. currently have to reverse the calculation to convert into Watts consumption for closer to accurate display.

sorry being ambigous and I admit I haven't actually used the benchmark feature much for the past 3 months at least, currently caught up with something , I'll come up with example use case in the next day or 2 to elaborate around filtering (not just for the benchmarking dialogue). cheers.

Hello @patrike, a question. For when there will be more or less an update with a new currency provider ?. We already have WTM, Coinwarz and CC, but it's not enough.

Since Awesome miner coin adapter no longer works well, we can not add coins and they are getting the data. We need another Shitcoins aggregator like shit to Mine or similar. Take this matter seriously because suddenly I have many less coins to mine due to the failure of Awesome Miner Coin Updater.

We need more coins in the system with their data, then we will see what we use or not. Until now I did not care because it added with AM CU, but it does not read the hash anymore.

I have already told Soothaa that his extension could fix it and improve it (choose or not certain exchanges and choose exchange for currency) and make it a single payment, so that it is not a free job for others.

But due to its little interest in fixing the extension, the currencies offered by the 3 current AM aggregators, I think few coins appear, when it is perfectly that there are many other shifts in the market that can give us good results. punctual.

Ideally, in the long term, it is an aggregation system like AM CU does, but it belongs to the system.

A reminder PAtrike, I know you're very busy. I still can not change the OC in the RTX rig, I guess it will have to update aftherburner and remoteserver, but every time there are more people with RTX and we are forced to leave an intermediate OC that works in all the algos.

Hello Patrike, I see well how to update through custom, I always do it that way. I inform in the forum, in case someone has not found out, I provide the URL to include it in managed miners, in Custom.

When you update, I usually unmark the Custom. I know how it works, I think it can not be made easier. Only you will update miners when possible, while that happens I add it to custom and inform in the Forum, both for you and for other users.

I`m looking for a way to set FIXED expenses to run an ASIC. Just to give you an example. I current host my ASIC  at a mine farm. I do not pay any particular expenses, but I pay a set FEE a month.
It would be good to have an ability to set daily expenses or monthly without basing calculation on power consumption. I hope this helps to clarify the situation and is possible to setup in awesome.

On the coins tab I have amounts for several coins but only zero's for Zcash.

At some point I was also considering that the mining software developers could be the ones that make their new software versions available to the Awesome Miner users - for example by posting a link to the latest ZIP-file somewhere and Awesome Miner would automatically pick it up. There are however some security concerns with that. If anyone else was able to put in a link to some malware, it would be really bad.

Another idea would be to have Awesome Miner monitor the github repository for the mining software that are published there - and automatically make the latest version available. There are still some complexity here, like which CUDA version to use and so on.

The Pickaxe.pro Mining Pool discord channel uses a bot to monitor GitHub for their miner-updates channel. Seems to work well.

I've had a few similar reports in the past MSI Afterburner sometimes doesn't like too frequent clocking changes request. Can you try to put a delay between the clocking operations by going to the Options dialog, Mining Settings and add a few seconds to "Pause after applying clocking settings".

I can also announce that the development of native clocking via Awesome Miner has started. It's a bit too early to say how it will work out, but it looks promising and the plan is to let Awesome Miner do the clocking via the AMD and nVidia libraries/drivers without using external applications like MSI Afterburner. This will give Awesome Miner much more control of the clocking in the future.

Thanks for your detailed reply.

Just a small comment about the shutdown. It will not require you to put batch-files on each computer as you can enter the "shutdown" command directly in the rule in Awesome Miner. I do however understand the general point you are making here about that it's nice to have as much as possible integrated and ready-to-use in Awesome Miner.

About multiple AM installations your points are correct. For GPU mining, a Remote Agent cannot be controlled by multiple Awesome Miner instances. For ASIC mining, it's however possible to monitor the same ASIC miners from many locations. Also, Awesome Miner isn't true client-server based in this sense. It would be ideal to have the Core of Awesome Miner allowing multiple user interface application to connect. This would however require major changes, but as I've received similar comments in the past, at least from those running large scale mining operations, it might be supported in the future.

The plan for the future is to have an approach using the Cloud Services. Then both Remote Agent and Awesome Miner will communicate via outgoing connections to the cloud. None of these would require VPN or configuration of router port forwarding. Just like the communication with the Cloud uses data compression today, this new approach will also use it. Your point about the data size is very valid.

The idea is also to have the Remote Proxy concept support this for ASIC miners, making it possible to put a small computer (maybe even R-Pi later on) on the mining site and without any VPN be able to connect to the miners on this site.

Due to many other priorities it will probably take about 4 - 8 months before this is in place.

Are Zcash showing up with the correct information on the Coins tab? If you enter the same hashrate on the Coins tab as your miner can perform, will you get a revenue and profit displayed here on the Coins tab?

It's a small change to allow multi-select like jim suggestion. I can add that right away. Keeping each mining software benchmark result is also on the todo-list and will be supported later on.

I'm not sure if I understood the filtering concept (sorry about that). With the new multi-select you should be able to mark all entries for CryptonightV8 for example, check all of them, and then benchmark it. What would the filtering add in this scenario?

Thanks for all good point above.

This might not be a topic that we solve right here and right now, but I appreciate all good suggestions and the goal would of course be to make new software versions available as soon as possible while still taking the entire picture into consideration.

Hi,

In auto-profit, I have a problem with overclocking.
In many cases, the frequencies recover from the original (normal when it finishes the mining) but it remains on this frequency when it begins another mining.

It does not always, but I often find my miners who mine the ETH to 100% power instead of 65% which changes everything in terms of consumption.

Thank you

Yup, might be specific to me. I asked a page or so back if it could be done in a custom script, but you didn't respond on that one. That would also work. Once I come up with a syntax for it I'll shoot you a PM regarding this.

Yup, there are also other ways of shutting down as well as rebooting using scripts, just like a WoL, but it would be nice if it was integrated into AM itself without writing scripts or batfiles outside of it. We might just be mincing words at this point as I like to have everything rolled into one thing instead of a patch works of bandaids everywhere. Not really as important as the other suggestions although a right click option outside of a rule would still be great.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to do. MACs generally don't change, so it could be even more reliable then IP or computer names for finding miners if they change names. There are a lot of options for saving MAC beyond just using it for WoL. If you're looking for how to implement WoL there are quite a few well documented examples so it makes it easy to use.

Yes that's what I was looking for. Apparently I missed it because of 'apply managed' in front of it, I was just looking for template.


In addition, another helpful item that would be great to have in AM is redundancy in the network. Right now if you try to run multiple AM clients on the same network it causes things to freak out. It would be nice if you could have 'redundant' AMs installs that simply monitor each other and don't do anything until one or the other is changed. A usage scenario for this is obviously if the computer goes down with AM on it, the monitoring and scheduling features go with it. Other usage scenarios include mobile. If you have a laptop for instance you take home with you off the network and you have a computer you leave on the mining network, they should sync with each other when you come back to whatever is the most up to date (there is a lot of options for syncing).

hello patrike.
have you considered "reversing" the client-server communication in Awesome Miner?

using one listening AM server that will accept connections from several Remote Agents makes more sense, than establishing the connection to each Remote Agent from the server side. no need for VPNs, setting up port forwarding for each Remote Agent and so on. it should be really convenient.

also it would be great to add some data compression algo to all AM agent-server communication. the amount of traffic between Remote Agents and AM server sometimes becomes really enormous. users with low-bandwidth or traffic-limited connections will thank you
