Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 283. (Read 703547 times)

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?

Awesome Miner version 5.4.4 (Development preview of 5.5)

 ASIC mining
  - The Remote Proxy can do automatic discovery of new ASIC miners on the network and automatically add and remove new miners in Awesome Miner. Intended for large scale mining operations.
 GPU mining
  - Remote Agent on Linux (beta). See the documentation on the web site for details about the Linux support.
  - Display of AMD and nVidia GPU driver version on the Summary tab for each Managed Miner and Managed Profit Miner
  - The dialog to save hashrate can also save the current power usage for the selected GPU (if reported by the mining software)
 Performance
  - Significant performance improvements to support very large number of miners
  - User interface more responsive when using large number of miners
 Configuration
  - Introducing multiple columns when displaying External Miners, Managed Miners and Pools in the options dialog
  - Profit switching interval can be specified in both minutes and seconds and allows an interval as low as 30 seconds
  - Profit switching setting for the minimum time a miner will stay on the same pool before i can change to another pool
  - Filtering for Managed Template section of Options dialog
  - Pools and online service entries can be configured with a Personalization string to support Equihash variants that requires this string to be provided when mining
 User interface
  - Selected lines on the Balance tab can be copied to the clipboard using Ctrl+C
  - Updated coin images and cleanup of old coins
  - Allow sorting by software in the Benchmark dialog
 Features and integration
  - Include the Mining Pool Hub pool for BTG and the Zergpool pools for Equihash variants
 Rules and API
  - Added API to get a list of coins and information from the Coins tab (/api/coins/stats)
  - Added API to get a list of multi coin pools and information from the Online Services tab (/api/onlineservices/stats)
  - Added API to get a list of all Profit profiles (/api/profitprofiles)
 Mining software
  - Added mining software: SgMiner-kl 1.0.5
  - CastXMR 1.4 with Cryptonight-Fest algorithm support
  - SrbMiner 1.6.7, including support for generating the initial configuration file
  - T-Rex miner 0.6.3
  - CryptoDredge 0.9.0
 Corrections
  - Correction to scenario where pools are added from the web interface and used for performing actions on ASIC miners
  - Correction to trigger for Revenue / Profit to not trigger too often
  - Correction to user defined Managed Software to prevent new algorithms, that are disabled for the specific software, to show up in the Benchmarking window
  - Correction to uptime display for Excavator miner version 1.5
  - Updated support for JCE miner with mixed GPU and CPU mining threads
  - Updated integration with the block explorer for Ethereum to continue the support for Ethereum wallet balance
  - Minor corrections

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!

It is unchecked, and its still pretty bad.

hi

after update not work balance Eth (update failure)

Since updating to the latest version my main server is completely freezing and not responding to remote desktop or web connections.

This is happening daily.

Looking in the log all I see at the end is:

Thanks @MHyza

Other minor fixes

https://github.com/technobyl/CryptoDredge/releases/

Can you add new algos - Polytimos, Sonoa (Zergpool already supporting), please?

Am I the only one who has issues running benchmarks? Trying Nicehash automatically disconnects from the pool. I have tried different regions but it does the same thing. I can only benchmark a couple algos due to this issue. Any ideas?

The workaround worked,I had to highlight the coin i was mining, leaving it as default wouldn't work for me ...   

ty .

Thanks for sharing all details. It turns out that the recent SrbMiner version isn't including config.txt as default anymore. Awesome Miner had a behavior where it always opened this file and made modifications. If the file didn't exist, it simply failed.

My test system was configured with custom SrbMiner config.txt content which is why I didn't see this problem at first. You can configure this in the Properties of a Managed Miner or in the Properties of a Profit profile, for the SrbMiner software, where you can select "Override config.txt content" and simply put empty configuration like below in the text field:
{ }

The above will be a workaround for the moment. I will of course correct this scenario in the next update of Awesome Miner, where it will handle the scenario of a missing config.txt.

Thanks for the suggestion - I will improve that.

Thanks for the update on this. I will try to reproduce the scenario.

I would actually recommend you to check the setting for the connection timeout. Although it might sound attractive to increase the timeout to wait longer, in this case I think we should try to make it fail faster with a short timeout instead. Can you make sure that the setting "Increase connection timeout for Remote Agent" is unchecked, which is actually the default value?

NO config.txt and awesome-restart.bat was generated only the pool.txt file i sent the log file to [email protected]
the error below is what i saw i sent the file any way because you know what to look for . .
