Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 354. (Read 703512 times)

5 minutes is probably too short. You don't want to be in a situation where you mine for 5 minutes without a block being found, then move on. I would say someplace between 15-25 minutes would be good, depending on where you mine, algorithms, and coins. Also if you have alot of algos, and pools selected, a longer switching period lowers the chances of something going wrong if you can't always monitor your rigs 24/7.

Patrike, return please back the profit display in Online Services at max \ min profit down. It is inconvenient to see profit on pools at this moment

I would say in my experience, yes.

depends on what you are mining, where you mine, statistics settings, time needed to ramp up to full speed for your rig/mining software...etc.

can someone please post the best switching interval and profit threshold settings , i have mine at 5 minutes and 20%

is 5 minutes too short ?

If click "view details", then the window opens on the monitor where awesomeminer is open, but the settings always open on the main monitor (which is specified in windows)

Nice updates Is there way to have API access for Dragonmint B29 ASIC on AwesomeMiner?

Happy mining!

I think most dialogs uses Center Screen for their position. I noticed that the View Details dialog has a different behavior and should be centered relative the main window. Can you right click on a miner and select View Details, and see if this positioning mode works fine in your setup as well?

This is currently not supported in a good way, but will be in the future.

I will include support for Cryptonight-LiteV7 and Cryptonight IPBC in the next release.

2) The GPU tab is currently based on the number of GPU's with their hashrates reported by the mining software. Without an API to the mining software this list will be empty as Awesome Miner doesn't know how many GPU's you are using.

Awesome Miner could of course be improved here by introducing some new concept where you can select how many GPU's to bring in via the existing feature "Map to system monitoring" for the scenario where no GPU's are available via the mining software.

3) This would be some custom implementation required. It's possible to control Awesome Miner from external scripts and application using the HTTP API:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/api.aspx

4a) You can use the rule trigger "Process failure" with "Mining process not running and too many failed attempts to restart". This will trigger after 3 crashes within a short period of time. The number 3 can be configured via the Options dialog, Advanced section, "Restart attempts on process crash".

4b - 4d) "Accept progress" should find these. Except "GPU's down", where it will depend on if the mining software can report this correctly. If it can, the predefined rule "Dead device detection" can be used.

When working on more than two monitors, the window with the settings opens not where the awesomeminer himself is opened but on the one that is main in windows

Many pools use the password field for worker name instead of appending it to the user name.  Is there a way to handle that in A.M.?  If not I would suggest making it an option in the pool configuration.

Cheers thanks, the dev of SRBMiner will hopefully be adding command line support for options like intensity/threads etc soon so that should help.

I just deleted and made a profit switching profile again and the pools.txt file created had multiple algos included in it.

the algo according to config.txt is cryptonight-heavy

but the pools file has all possible algos included in it. Available algos are also not complete as its missing the option for cryptonight-light turtlecoin and cryptonight IPBC which are supported by SRBMiner but not available in AM.

2) Yes I know it's there. But why not to show it on dedicated tab? If I have rigs with supported miners and without them - it would be better to see all needed info without switching tabs.

3) OK. Is there any way to run a simple script, that will return some value and then do some action based on that value?
(For example to run nvidia-smi - get GPU load - calculate average and return it to AM, so that AM could switch/restart the miner.

4) No. I don't need profit switching. But I need to make sure that rigs are working and correctly respond to different troubles automatically.
a) miner crashing. Count number of restarts and if it is greater than 2-3 within 2-3minutes switch to failover mining list.
b) miner hanging and doing nothing. Get GPU load and if idle for 2-5minutes switch to failover mining list.
b) GPUs down. If down -> hardreset.
c) pool down.
d) internet down.
etc.

In the Options dialog you specify the global setting for power cost and this one is being used almost everywhere.

At the bottom of the other page you have the option to do custom calculations where you manually enter hashrates, power usage and custom power costs. It's basically a profitability calculator.

In your case, you have selected to use a profit profile, and then this custom power cost field isn't even used and the power cost value is the Options dialog is used.

Thanks! On a Managed Miner, you will find a section called SRBMiner in the properties where you can put your own config.txt template to use. For profit switching, this isn't configurable yet, but I will add that in one of the next releases.

SRBMiner defines the algorithm to use (Cryptonight, V7, Lite, Heavy, ...) in the configuration file, so I assume the pools.txt file only can use pools based on this single algorithm. Awesome Miner automatically fill in the algorithm name in the configuration file, based on the algorithm of the first pool.

I will verify so the profit switcher doesn't try to add multiple types of algorithms for the pools in SRBMiner at once.

In the scenario above, MSI Afterburner gives an error (Internal Server Error) trying to apply the clocking settings. Does all the GPU's in the system support the parameters listed on the line above?

Awesome Miner is of course the best software for the purpose, with built-in support for several of the popular mining pools. Please let me know if there is any specific feature you have more questions on. Thanks!
