An update on the issue related to notifications of mining software being restarted (or failed to start, as in the dialog):

If a mining software crashes, Awesome Miner will display a notification about it where the mining software and pool is also indicated. The pool information is based on what the mining software reported. However, if the mining software crashes fast once started, and didn't send any pool information to Awesome Miner, Awesome Miner would incorrectly use the last provided pool information which in this case is from the previous mining software that was running, so it could be the name of a pool that was used before and not the current one.

Please note that it's only the error message that is incorrect here, as it would indicate the last successfully reported pool. The actual pool for mining is correct.

In the Miners tab in the Windows application you will see the secondary hashrate, if any. It's however not displayed in the web and dashboard.

Thanks for the information. I think there are two things to consider here

1) Mining software do crash every now and then on most mining rigs. Sometimes it can be due to high OC and instable drivers, while it in other cases is simply a bug in the mining software. When a mining process is no longer running, Awesome Miner will detect it within a few seconds and provide these kind of notifications, and then restart the mining.

The crashes themselves are typically not related to Awesome Miner, and Awesome Miner can't really do much except restarting the process. You can configure how many restart attempts you want within the last 5 minutes via the Options dialog, Advanced section.

2) When Awesome Miner is displaying the pool information for a crashed process, I think it might do this incorrectly when the profit switcher is used. So the crash notification message may display the wrong pool under some scenarios and I will one more time investigate to see if I can find out why.

Update: I've identified the issue for #2. Please see: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.42773748

Thanks for the logs, I will investigate. If you get an error message like this, it's most likely that the mining software either crash or simply give an error message when starting.

When this happend, please click the Diagnostics button in the toolbar as instructed, as it will often tell you what the isssue is.

As you requested, i send you my log file. To add to this random problem, i get sometimes alert windows error like the one i get this morning :

As you can see, AM still try to mine an algorithm with an incompatible software...
When this error occur, rig stop working until i click on the OK button. It's annoying because when it happens at night, i can lose severals hours of mining.
Tell me if you need more info or more log than the one i sent you.

It's the same mistake I've been reporting for a couple of months, even with videos.

In an aletoria way it fails, and when it does mix one thing with another, I do not know why. Sometime it has been because of having an order placed in a miner, instead of a simple error it gives you an error downloading protocols.

But other times it's because he wants, fails and then tomorrow when mining the same thing in a car, it does not fail.

I now choose lyra2z to pool in that rig and it works, as seen in capture now I fail lyra2z in zergpool in automatic, perp set as a mix Lyra2z and PHI, the same as when I showed the videos with the failures in the pop-ups

I have reported it several times, I have rarely received an answer for this, and in any case there are a couple of lions who believe in the right of reason.

Let's see if someone else reports it now, these random flaws are better tuned. I'm sorry Patrike, I can not give you any script to reproduce the fault, I do not know what conditions occur, I can only say that it happens to me now, and tomorrow surely I will not fail.

The miner does not really start, or at least I do not see it in the console.

Let's see if there is luck, because these failures when they occur stop the Rig and the income.

May i see the total hashrate of second GPU algo in dual mode? if it is not supported, it would be good to see such feature in future.

Thanks!  I will check this out ASAP!

Can you please send me the full log file for this issue by mail? I agree that the pool names look strange here, but it could be that the error message didn't pick up the correct pool name here. With the log files I can verify this as well.

When I tried this at first, at #3 I could see that there was quite some delay before it showed up on the Online Services tab. It turned out to be related to that another profit source MultiPool.us had an API request that took 30 seconds to timeout. For this reason, I had to sit and wait for more than 30 seconds on the Online Services tab - but then the Blockmasters Timetravel entry showed up. So it was slow, but eventually showed up.

I went ahead and disabled the MultiPool.us integration in Awesome Miner as their API has been down for a while now, and now the Blockmasters Timetravel entry shows up in a few seconds after adding it.

Thanks - I will add it for ccminer as well.

Which mining software is it? Each mining software have their own ordering of the GPU's, but Awesome Miner is doing its best to figure out which order to use for each software.

What could be of interest here is also the ID and PCI Bus ID of each device in the GPU selection dialog, as Awesome Miner uses this information to find out the GPU number. The number that Awesome Miner is passing to the mining software can then be found via the Diagnostics button in the toolbar.

Have you looked at AwesomeMiner Coin Updater plug-in from soothaa?

Hello Patrike,
I encounter those type of errors more and more often :


Those are just examples, but as you can see, it's like AM was shuffling algorithms and compatible online services    PhoenixMiner trying to mine ethereum on Zergpool phi2 pool is kind of weird...


Do you have an idea of what's happening ?

Question about Profit Switching with "unlisted" coins...

Please someone let me know how I can do this...  If not then consider this a suggestion.

I focus my mining on new, low marketcap alt coins that often don't (yet) appear on any exchanges or WhatToMine (etc.).  These coins may not have an exchange value, but they do obviously have "value", that I can manually enter into AM.  Personally, I use a service like the new MCT trading platform to estimate a current value for new coins that are not on any exchanges yet.

Presently, I configure a user-defined coin in AM and enter the value and difficulty manually.  However, I want to use Profit Switching, which (to do well) requires UP-TO-DATE info on difficulty (etc.).  It is not practical to constantly change difficulty data like this manually.  HOWEVER, the coins usually have a block explorer API that can feed out things like Network Hash and current Difficulty.   So, while the coins' data are not listed in the conventional places that the profit switching algo checks, the necessary information IS out there and available through these APIs.

Is there some way to configure a coin to use a URL for an API to gather this data instead of WhatToMine (etc.)?  This would not only let us configure profit switching for new coins, but frankly, it would be more accurate Net Hash and Difficulty data.  I am sure that everyone has observed that the "current" difficulty data on WhatToMine lags behind current reality somewhat.  If we could use the "official" source of info from the block explorer API, we'd be able to more efficiently switch.

Can this be done in AM now?  If not, then consider this a suggestion.

Thanks!

Thanks in advance! Great piece of software so far Thank you soooo much!

Found an annoying bug, I hope you can reproduce it to fix.

1) Enter 1 or more "User defined online services" and mark the "Include in managed profile switcher". I did this, for example, with the new Timetravel blockmasters.co:3555
2) Click on any profile and "Edit profit profile", edit something and click "OK".

3) Now your freshly made User defined online service is not visible in "View details -> Profit switching" and is also not visible in the online services tab. So the profit switcher will ignore it.

4a) To activate, you have to go back to "User defined online service", click the service, demark "Include in managed profile switcher" and hit "OK"+"OK".
4b) Back again to "User defined online service", click the service, now mark "Include in managed profile switcher" and hit "OK"+"OK".

Profit switching will work now until you edit something again in any profile. So you have to repeat 4a and 4b again to activate the profit switching again.

If you have more than one User defined online service, you have to demark all of them and also mark all of them whenever you edit some profiles.


EDIT: They are also not visible in benchmark until you done 4a and 4b.

Thank you for adding those algorithms. Allium is also supported by ccminer.

please help me to setup one rig, i have 2 GPUs , one 1060, one 1070,
1070 mining ethereum and 1060 crash , i created 2 profit profile one for 1070 one for 1060 and 2 profit miner and alocated to profit profile and selected only one gpu for each miner... when i pres start miner for 1060 (with selected gpu 1060) its run on 1070.. please help me.
