i see there is 4.7.3 update and also want to know whats the best option to mine using online services static settings: Current, 24 hour avarage estimate or 24 hour avarage actual?
There are probably many opinions on this. In general, Current should be the best, but it can result in a little higher estimates than what you actually get paid for.
Is this really true? I ask because when I switch to current, Awesome Miner switches between algos/pools so often that the earnings (In the earnings column on pools.) that show in my pools are almost nothing.... (there are more earnings shown and they are more spread out across my pools) but the earnings are very low.

However, even when I use the default setting of 24 hour estimate, my earnings still seem not right.... For my test rig alone, Awesome Miner typically (with statistics set to 24 hour estimate and the "Adjust reported revenue for actual payout performance." box checked) will still show a per day profit between $5 to $6. And because there are so many variables, I have been using a separate payment address for just my test rig.... but when I look at my actual earnings in Awesome Miner (total unpaid coin, not USD, YES I AM ACCOUNTING FOR DIPS IN PRICE!), I am seeing something closer to $1.50 to $3 per day...

At this point, I am honestly starting to believe that it would be more profitable to just use Awesome Miner with Nicehash so I can use more up to date miners.


Any suggestions would be welcome.
It's also recommended to set a Threshold to reduce the too frequent changes. You can also test with not having too short profit switching intervals as well.

There is also a quite new feature to adjust the profitability for the Yiimp pools based on their actual performance over the last few days. When enabled, Awesome Miner will show lower profit estimations, but they might be a bit more realistic. Please see "Adjust reported revenue" at the bottom of this page:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinstats.aspx


 Undecided  If you read my comment... I am using "Adjust reported revenue for actual payout performance.". I have been using it since you added that.

Also, my profit switching interval is set to 5 minutes with a threshold of 3%

patrike could you please make it possible for AM to save the pool coins from "Define Pool coin" option? I would really love that Smiley

This only happens on one of my 18 remote managed miners. The DSTM miner (zm) is running with no console window from the ProgramData\AwesomeMiner folder, which is a duplicate folder of %appdata%\AwesomeMiner. If I upgrade the Remote agent it upgrades the ProgramData\AwesomeMiner folder but not  folder %appdata%\AwesomeMiner.

Then if I delete the duplicate ProgramData\AwesomeMiner folder and uninstall/re-install the Remote Agent,  the  folder %appdata%\AwesomeMiner is created and the miner runs with console window as normal. But after a few restarts the duplicate ProgramData\AwesomeMiner folder is somehow created again. Then I am back to running the miner without console window.
Are you running both Remote Agent and the Remote Service (Windows Service) at the same time? Please open the Remote Service Configuration Tool (see http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/remoteagent.aspx) and make sure that the first section "Service Status" indicates "Service not installed". If not, stop it and uninstall it using the buttons.

If you launch mining software from a Windows service, the console window will not be visible as a Windows service never can make anything show on the desktop.

I can't log in to any Suprnova pool now.  Supernova logins consist of Weblogin.Worker but only the Weblogin is being passed on the command line.  This used to work, did something break in the latest releases?  I don't know what else the problem could be, I haven't changed anything that I know of.
Please share additional details about how the pool and miner is configured, and also the Diagnostics output that highlights the issue.

Hello Patrike,

I had a rig that for some reason can not upgrade to the 4.7.3 remote service.  It can't be uninstalled manually because it says it's not installed... though it's still running, AM can't control the rig.  I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling both services with the Remote Service Configuration tool, but that doesn't seem to do any good.  When I try to manually install the new 4.7.3 MSI it says it can't find a noteservice.msi to complete the uninstallation of the old 4.7.2 service.  I've look on my other rigs that did upgrade successfully, but this MSI is no where to be found.

Are there any manual steps to uninstallation/cleanup of the remote service from a rig so I can start fresh?
Hi,

Please check out this tool from Microsoft that can be used when a MSI-based installer isn't behaving as it should - and this can be used to force a removal:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed


Hello Patrike,

That fixed it so I could install the 4.7.3 remote service.  I had to give it the option to not stop the services and reboot, as the first attempt to stop the services failed again after running that Microsoft tool.  After the successful install of the remote service, I still couldn't couldn't control the rig... ran diagnostics and it said that it couldn't find the mining software.  So I went back to the rig to reset the folders in Windows Defender... I've had to do this before.  Weird thing was that Defender wasn't running.  It wouldn't start either.  I had to go into the registry to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender key... and turn Defender back by changing DisableAntiSpyware to 0

Then I could reset the folders for Defender to ignore with AM... and now it works.

Strange circumstances, but thanks to your help it's resolved now.  Just posting this information in case other run into this situation with the Remote Service or Windows Defender.


Hi Puwaha

I had this issue as well a few versions back and manually copied the upgraded files from a working PC into the non working PC program files / AM service directory.  The PC with the above issue needed a Windows re-install anyways it was an excuse to do this which of course was a very round about way to resolve the issue (which it did). It is interesting to see that others (I recall someone else reporting this awhile back) have had this issue as well.

On another note I really liked your instructions from awhile back on using AM rules and IFTTT for my HS-110 smart plugs, my machines restart perfectly on a hard freeze thanks to you!

Patrike, BTCP included by default in the 4.7.3?  How is it shown?  I doesn't exist in the coin listing, I can't select it and add it as a pool coin, etc?

Do tell?  Cuz I mine this all the time, and have been using the external api program to pull in the data

UPDATE: are you just talking about the coin graphic, because indeed that works now, but the coin isn't listed in any listing until I ran the external api program that pulls the data

graphics just put appropriate image file in %appdata% AM folder as BTCP.png

coin isn't listed in the whattomine coins.json, you have to add it yourself if haven't done so, no need for external program unless whattomine info is borked (such as LUXcoin)
http://whattomine.com/coins/230.json


yeah, that doesn't help much because WTM isn't populating price, value, etc.  So the external thing does all that for me for now until it gets listed on a real exchange, then WTM should work.

So at least I have the icon, etc, but everything else is coming from the external api program
BTCP was supposed to be included by default in the last release, but I noticed a bug where it was only automatically added if you had any other custom JSON URL's specified. I will correct that. The coin image should however be available already.

Your observation is correct that right now WhatToMine doesn't list any exchange rate for this coin. But once that's available, it will of course be available in Awesome Miner automatically.

Patrike:

Any new updates on you checking into the code of NemoMiner to improve the profit switching of AwesomeMiner?

The reason i ask is im nearing my 2 month mark of running 1 GPU on AM and 1 GPU on NM from the same watercooled PC using the same miners per algo comparison test. The margin of actual payout between the 2 wallets has grown wider.....
I've not checked the that code, but since version 4.7 you have the feature "Adjust reported revenue" that is similar to what you requested earlier.
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinstats.aspx

All statistics from the Yiimp-based pools are collected in the cloud and and the estimated and actual payouts are compared - and the result is a percentage value that Awesome Miner can use. When you enable this feature, you can see it on the Online Services tab for each pool.

I created a new miner for my cpu using XMRIG but one my ryzen i can use up to 16 core right now only getting 8 used . I went to appdata for xmrig. but the json file is not configurated at all. how can change the settings ?

Thanks

You have 8 cores/16 threads and 16MB of cache. Cryptonight likes 2 megabytes of cache per thread and as such 8 threads used is normal for a Ryzen 7. What hashrate are you getting?

Have a Ryzen 1700X overclocked at 4ghz, with xmrig on awsome miner i get 450h/s, but when i mine with xmr stack i get 640h/s xmr stack use 15 threads.

Run awesome miner or the agent as Administrator and set the xmrig binary to run as administrator as well. Usually the xmrig folder Awesome Miner downloads is in c:/users//AppData/Local/AwesomeMiner/xmrig... for the remote service it's in c:/users//AppData/Roaming/AwesomeMinerService/xmrig... You have to run as admin for xmrig to be able to use huge pages which should get you more hashrate. You may also need make a group policy change to enable it. Can you post a screen shot of the xmrig window when it first starts or run diagnostics on it from within Awesome Miner and post that.
