Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 282. (Read 703148 times)

Thanks for the update. If you open the Awesome Miner log file (toolbar Tools -> Log File) and search for "Added rule for" you can see every time Awesome Miner launches the mining software.

It might be possible to find a pattern here, that it's for example always Claymore Cryptonight miner that was the last started mining software before a crash.

Hello
There is something wrong with T-Rex miner when i try to use it throug "managed templates" and definied pool. It alwasy eats first two letters from pool adress.
I tried to add random two letters to push through the correct adress but it's not connectting too. The problem exists all the time when i started use your software, im unable to use T-Rex through Awsomeminer. Other miner like z-enemy, ccminer works fine.

I have also noticed this for the last two dev releases.
The problem seemed each time to be with remote agent (win) and t-rex.

So my initial test with the linux agent was a semi-fail. I got AM to recognize the agent, but it refuses to mine.

Hey Patrike,

another suggestion for the Benchmark:

Is it possible to add Benchmark for different "-i" intensity's? I think the easiest way could be we set the Start and Stop intensity and the benchmark does all the steps between and show the results in different colums. Or maybe you have a different and more brilliant idea how to do that

Was trying to set it for the Managed Software but it would not take. Going into each device profile and having to add it is not ideal, but can work for now.

It runs, but still does not coy the benchmark result back to the test page for saving to the profile. Hum ...

Thank you.

umm, you can add that to the profit profile specifically for sgminer (and forks)

also, you need to specify the correct number, 0, 1 or 2 for the --gpu-platform, it's rig specific.

check sgminer --help for details.

***
worst come to worst, just use command line and mine to someone else's address using examples for starters, there you should see all the error messages in the console. of course, if you are familiar with command line, then just replace the command, addresses as you see fit. Else, consider it a tiny donation.

How would I go about doing that? I tried adding it to the user defined command line option in the Managed Software section, but it only flashes and will not load when running a benchmark using sgminer.

Please try to use --gpu-platform directive to resolve the igpu/discreet gpu issue in sgminer

Benchmark doesn't really give much details about error feedback, to see those, you need to mine directly to a working pool and right click on miner -> diagnostics, there you can see more detailed error captured in the output dialogue window

I'm really eager to test out the linux remote agent. I'd like to use as stripped down a distro as possible, basically just the bare minimum needed to mine in linux via command line, preferably off of a USB stick.

Can anyone recommend a pre-packaged distro with the bare minimum required for mining, specifically the drivers? Or a up to date guide that outlines the bare minimum steps to making ubuntu server mining ready?

Also, are there any limitations to the current linux agent aside from the mining software that can be automatically downloaded? Can we still upload custom software? What if any methods are available to control GPU clocks?

Small issue when using the built in update.

If updating AM while a miner is running, after the update and AM restarts, it does not see that there is already a miner running and starts a new instance of a miner.

Two things that may have an influence on this: I have a 60 second delay after AM starts before it starts a miner. And, the miner that was running when the update was started is one of the miners that the update, um, updated. After the update, it starts a new instance of the updated miner, leaving the old miner still running. Today, the miner was T-Rex.

Thanks for the awesome software!

Also, with so many usable miners with a lot of overlap on algos now (t-rex, z-enemy, cryptodredge), I would really like it if there was a way to view the mining software currently being used in a column on the compact view.

Yes, Ill do this soon. The freezing state seems to come and go, but I definitely still experience it with auto refresh disabled. Ive also tried disabling system monitoring, logging, all my rules, just about everything. I've added many more GB of memory as well - the only thing I'm sure of is that it's actually the UI thread of AM freezing, because if I click a little too much while the mouse cursor is a blue circle, the entire UI greys out and it asks me if I want to wait for AM to start responding again.

It fails the connections with Claymore to Nicehash. SgMiner usually does not even start mining unless I disable Nicehash, and then it may run but never saves the hashrate to the algo in the benchmark.

I do not mine to Nicehash. So do not know if direct mining to it is failing or just the benchmark somehow.

EDIT:

Ok, Nicehash is now working. Decided to try a different BTC address and it worked. Do not know what happened to the other one and why no error, but it works.

Now, sgminer is having issues. The Benchmark setup say use GPU 0 for the RX 580 card. However, when it runs it detects the built-in Intel HD graphics as GPU 0 and benchmarks that instead. The drop down does not allow any other selection to be made on the local machine I am testing with. Even when that does run, it does not save the "benchmark" to the test report.

It is mining as well and has been running fine for many months, it's a dedicated machine, doing nothing else at all.

It's happening at least daily. Is there anyway to narrow down what is causing it?

When Awesome Miner is in this state where it's running slow, can you please create a process dump file and send me by mail (the file will be large). Use Windows Task Manager, Details tab, right click on AwesomeMiner and select "Create dump file". With the information in this file, I will be able to see the current Awesome Miner process state and hopefully be able to identify why it's running slow. Thanks!

One quick question - are you using the automatic console screen update on the Console tab (bottom of the screen in Awesome Miner), Settings -> Auto Refresh? If that's the case, please try to set it to Disabled.

This is not related to an update of Awesome Miner. Etherchain recently introduced CloudFlare DDOS protection on their site, causing some issues with requesting information outside a web browser. The latest Awesome Miner development version should resolve this.

To get access to development versions, open the Options dialog in Awesome Miner. In the General section, enable Check for development versions. Then go to the Menu and click Check for updates.

This change will also be included in Awesome Miner 5.5.

Is the computer where you are running Awesome Miner also running mining - or is it only used to monitor other Remote Agents? A complete computer freeze isn't likely to be caused by Awesome Miner itself.

Which mining software is this? Is mining on the same pool with the same mining software working fine, and it's only the benchmark that is failing?

If you still run into this problem, could you please also send me your log file and I can review the command line parameters Awesome Miner uses to launch the mining software to make sure it's correct. Thanks!
