hi sorry for asking this question, maybe it has been solved in replies before, but or the moment everytime i tried to use the profit switching i was disaponted. probably because i don't master it enough

Here is what i tried recently
For my nvidia rigs, i like to mine ZEC in nanopool, where it s then easy to monitor, payouts are fast. However, zec is not always the best to mine.
I tried to set up zergpool, and payout in bitcoin, which means long time payout...
I've run off course the benchmarsk, and even remove ccminer to have for Equihash just DTSM.
Now, often, when i run the profit miner, it will mine ravencoin, and i let 2 rigs, one on ZEC, and one on the Ravencoin decided by Awesomeiner, both having same config and same benchmark.
At first, Raven is indeed better ROI, however, as the hashrate is not stable with X16R, value will drop, and at the profit switching window, even if the ROI is less then ZEC, it won't switch.
I did had pool for ZEC in the custom pool for the profit

What am i missing for it to work ?

Thank you
To get insight why the profit switcher selects a specific algorithm, right click on the miner and select View Details and go to the Profit switching tab. Please note that these hashrates and profit estimates are based on what is defined in the Profit profile. They may not match the actual hashrate and profit.

What does the View Details dialog look like in your scenario? What's on top in this dialog should be prioritized by the profit switcher.

X16r is a bit special and my understanding is that it's rotating the algorithms, making it difficult to compare hashrates as it can change over time. This also makes benchmarking and profit calculations more difficult. I've not explored the details of this myself, but there might be other forum members here that knows the details of how this algorithm works.

I leave you a video where you can see that on the same platform I have for example X17 CCminer alexis with -i 21, but in the benchmark it does it in 20, this happens in all of them. It's a bit crazy to have to benchmark and then update with right button to be updated.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnnpzds94g6mhy8/IMG_2237.MOV?dl=0

I would also like to comment on a very simple function that I saw in another hash program, they have a small form for each predefined group to be able to vary in a% its hash rate or price. For example Zergpool takes a long time to update, especially if the price is high, which AM is usually a long time, too much in Zergpool, that fixes me by reducing the price of zergpool by 4%. This makes our pools added by hand have more possibilities if we mix them with some Zpool protocols or similar.
Hello. This looks like a bug and I will correct that in the next release. If you enter a command line like you did, it should be used during benchmarking as well. Many thanks for reporting this issue.

If you want to reduce the profitability of Zergpool, go to the Options dialog, Online Services. You can then Edit the entries for Zergpool and change profit factor to 0.96 (reducing profitability by 4%). If you want to do this on many pools at one, you can also use the Bulk Edit button.

*** FEATURE REQUEST ***

Hi Patrik,

- Add login to AWM Cloud with AWM Users.

My idea to add this would simply to have it as an option for each User under Security to allow cloud access.

Anyone have good alternatives to this until this feature might become a reality?  Kiss

Thanks for your feedback.

Today the multi-user feature is only possible to use with the built-in web server, but the idea is to support it via the Cloud Services in the future. I agree that especially for larger installations where there might be multiple users that owns the miners, a feature like this would be good.

Hello Patrik, I think the estimates are wrong with respect to the next image. Am I mining the wrong algorithm for that reason? It is a question.

The algorithm is timetravel

most likely yes. Zpool shows exaggerated numbers for timetravel profit estimate.
Zpool Timetravel profit was jumping up and down (to zero) a number of times that day.

Patrick,
Can it change the frequency and voltage on Antminer B3?
I actually don't know, because I don't have access to this ASIC miner. Awesome Miner has a feature to change frequency (toolbar: Tools -> Antminer -> Configure Frequency), but it only works on some Antminers.

benchmark takes into account all command line parameters from managed software options; if it's not the case for you, then you're doing something wrong.

regarding your second question - you do confuse the "profit profile" and "rig" concepts, they aren't the same thing. you select the profit profile for a rig in drop-down list, and to select another rig - you must close the benchmark window, click on the desired rig and open the Benchmark window again.

I'm doing well, in each gain profile of each RIG I manually set the intensity, for each protocol that allows it. But it is totally ignored in benchmark. As the PA said if the OC is executed but not the intensity, have you tried it before giving me the answer? I've given a lot of thought to this issue and in a benchmark the intensity is automatic.

Do not think it's illogical that if I have a selector to change the platform, it's just for that, and if it does not, it breaks all the usability of the program. I've already realized that you have to close the window and choose the other mining group. But if so, there should be no platform selection within benchmark because it is totally ignored, and these small failures, drive the less experienced crazy who do not know all the flaws of the program like you.

That you know how to avoid a problem that exists, does not make it disappear. If changing from the selector does not change, or is fixed or removed, but can not stay there, because I lost a lot of time believing that the different platforms were optimized

I should check things before answering. The intensity is not executed, bother to look at it and then tell me, but do not respond by answering.

between you to a rig of yours, choose a Protocol with ccminer, set an intensity. Go to benchmark and see it, then be humble and ask for forgiveness for giving an erroneous answer

how I change the amount in satochis in the values we use in the awesome miner in  coin settings
Coin GINcoin  lyra2z
0,00049 btc




here no profit



Do not put it in the format that is requested, if someone helps me or gives me a reference link, I would appreciate it. It does not calculate the profit because it is not in the format that is requested.

when adding the currency to awesome, when specifying the price in BTC, there are numbers that I do not write, such as

2,344E-05
1,001E-05

Do not put the satochis in that format, so I would add a link, or converter to avoid having to ask more. thank you very much

Hi Patrik,

Even if the mining software is not running on an ASIC and it states disconnected, can you please enable the possibility to restart the asic ? It's done via ssh so it is independent from the mining software.

Thank you very much !
You can use the rules with SSH for this. Please see "Example: Reboot Antminers via a button click":
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/rules.aspx

Works perfectly ! Thank you very much !

I am a new user of AM. and I have a doubt that seems somewhat incongruous to me.

If I do a Benchmark to know the power of HASH of my machine, the tests are done without taking into account the intensity that I have already varied in the miners.

If I do mining a currency, then I can update your HASH with the right button, but you would have to do it with all the algos.

Because the benchmark does not take into account the intensity parameter established in the CCminer?

Is that I do not see it logical, I think you should apply the configuration of each IBC and the intensities already added to each one.

Another failure in benchmark. If I do the rig1 test, I finish it and save the results. In the drop-down, I change to another rig, but it still shows the same cards as the RIG1, which are not the same. The only way is to close the benchmark, choose the rig and then open the benchmark again

Hi patrike,  is it possible to somehow hide bottom panel in awesomeminer?  

in case you have many miners - bottom panel reduces the miners list space.
I can allow it to become very small at least. Hiding it completely might result in that users cannot find it.

at least this would be great!

ps. there could be some pin/unpin flag(small button) for bottom panel show/hide.

Hello ! I have a question .!  I work for pool zpool.ca and there are constantly adding new algorithms to switch . But in the Awesome Miner , none of these algorithms assume as ( allium,blakecoin). Question the program provides how to update the selected pool with a list of algorithms? .
And the second question is whether it is possible to manually add the pool algorithm , which is not in the list. ?   and if so .!  could you tell me where exactly to do it not understand ? Thanks
yes it is possible.
add a new algorithm, then add a pool or online service for it.

here ?

hello, patrike
there's a bug in all versions of Awesome Miner, it doesn't show NVIDIA GPUs running in TCC mode in "map to system monitoring" and benchmark windows. screenshot from my rig with 2 RX570s and 8 NVIDIA P104-100s for example:

so there's no way to select particular GPU for benchmarking or mining, and all the monitoring data should always be provided by managed miner APIs. some miners can't do this and then I'm stuck with no temperature monitoring at all, like this -

that's not cool and it will be great if you can fix this Smiley
thank you.
There will not be an easy fix to this one, because I use a third party library for GPU sensor readings, and it doesn't look like it works with the TCC setup. I didn't know TCC was available on nVidia GPU's other than the high end segment.
maybe you can use MSI Afterburner Remote Server API as an alternative way to query device stats?

by the way the latest GPU-Z release includes a fix for a similar problem
Quote
v2.9.0 (May 7th, 2018)
Fixed empty or incorrect readings for NVIDIA GPUs in TCC mode (Quadro/Tesla)

I found a workaround for now - nvidia-smi successfully switched NVIDIA P104-100s from TCC to WDDM mode, now Awesome Miner can see them. but WDDM mode has some disadvantages in it, NVIDIA says -
Quote
The TCC driver model is optimized for compute applications. I.E. kernel launch times will be quicker with TCC. The WDDM driver model is designed for graphics applications and is not recommended for compute applications.
