Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 399. (Read 703512 times)

Likkkeee my plugin I've been sharing on here?

Some suggestions for improvement:

Under Coins & Profit => Statistics:
- it would be nice if it would be possible to have both enabled, coinwarz and whattomine. Using only one some coins get visible while other coin stats are gone. Maybe prioritize whattomine and for coins that are not on whattomine use the  coinwarz api.

Under Coins & Profit => Userdefined Coins
- this is a nice feature, BUT no field to enter the nethash rate. Without the net hash rate the whole calculation later does not make any sense at all. Would it be able to add a field for nethash rate as well and include this into the profit calculation?

Generally about the Coins in AM:
- With so many coins at the moment and with AM being such great software, it would be really helpfull if more coins are directly supported (shown)  having in mind there are 1000's out allready. I even think this is some kind of niche someone (eventually AM itself) could profit with more and better input about all these various coins. How about adding such extra coin database for some extra subscription, premium or whatever. This waz the extra afford to maintain such coin database would pay back.

About the manual pool adding under Pools:
- how much is the maximal amount of pools that can be added? Some weeks ago i tried adding a huge bunch of pools and backup pools for a shitload of coins just to realiye that at some time none of the pools i manually added showed up at some time. This makes me think that there is some limit on the pool number that can be manually added?!?!  If so, what is the number and can it be increased?

About Multipool Online Services Profit
-Today i tried this the first time with 5 Baikal Giant X10 Mining Dutch as it showed up on top for profit to see if these shown profit payouts are for real. I have setuped 1 Baikal on Quark (shown profit/day 87US$ per unit) and 4 on Myriad-Groestl (shown 39USD profit/day per unit). Result: About 8 Euro on Mining Dutch Earnings aftr 9 hours mining .... 
While i was fully aware that these profits "promised" or shown will not be real at all i either did not await a such huge difference, actually its the worst i ever tried out and i try and test out a lot. This is neither good for AM, nor is it for the miners. Better less pools with accurate numbers than many with fantasy numbers showing up. Just my 2 satoshis on this issue.

About Profit Switching with GPUs
- Sometimes i see that AM changes to a given pool and given Algo just to see how the profit drops a little bit later about 50 - 80%. I'am aware of the nature that a given pool, algo or coin are not constant, however, in such case it would be nice that Switching Interval is overriden by AM if there is a predifined drop, let's say 25%, so AM is not waiting the switching interval to finish and just than switching pools. Would make some sense in my opinion.


Great job patrike, keep the superb work up!

Due to the history of the allegations the said subject have been making all along, it won't because eventually the profit factors will have to be set to 0....only if the said subject runs own pool / solo since the said subject apparently manages hundreds of mining rigs...

***
That being said, the pools are not endorsed by Patrike, it's more for beginners and new comers to have a taste of the potential ability of what AM can do and that profit switching is just one aspect of the many that makes AM Awesome. Now if you are more experienced in the mining, you definitely would by now chose your own pools, algos, coins and switching strategy and configure them accordingly.....especially with @sootha's custom coins plugin.

to futher polish it, of course, some weighing strategy like what Tigggger said would be great, or say. even something to even go further....say:

If I mine speculatively, I would also take into consideration into the potential change in difficulty history of the coins' network and not just the current or average difficulty and price....like the trading bot. that way, I'm potentially mining some other coins when every average user are flocking and driving a common (perhaps misconceived 'most profitable') coin defined by WhattoMine...and similar services. A bit like trading bot with potentially predictive strategy from historic patterns). I'd rather have Patrike work on something as advanced as this rather than putting effort trying to baby sit someone elses' mining operations....

It's not that the multipools are stealing, it's just the nature of the way they work.

Going back to the scrypt examples I posted earlier, if I mine at litecoinpool with my L3's, I am currently getting 101% PPS, the price is relatively stable and exchange volumes are large. Further because the blocks are quite slow the number of rejects is miniscule.

However when you are mining on a multipool, the blocks might be coming every few seconds (large % rejects/stales) and the exchange volume of these coins is so small that by the time the sell order has been filled it could be a significant loss over the rate when you were mining them.

I think the current profit switching threshold in the options relates to the current and potential pool.  What would be handy would be to have a default pool and work the switching off that (with the associated weighting)

So if I set litecoinpool as the default pool, and a threshold of 10% it would only switch when any of the other pools were > 10%, if that falls below 10% if would switch back to the default pool.

To do what you want, why not just adjust the factor setting under online services for each pool/algo combo?
Seems like this should work?

It depends on the day. if you remain with a lot of orphaned coins on badly exchange management pools, sometimes is worse. That's why everybody should test and only consider the BTC payment amount, as you can see the values from above are predefined into the mining software with the following statement:
"
Pools profit correction factors
--Usually pools revenue is overestimated, this factor allows manual correction (Profit= ReportedPoolProfit * @@POOLPROFITFACTOR)
--This values are based on experience
"

Maybe patrike will finish soon the promised new functionality that will help all users realize that statistics are highly inflated and disable pools that use this practice.  Miners that use these pools own hardware that worth between $50 million and $100 million and the responsibility is very high for software like AM and also for pool managers that have to carefully manage selected exchanges and also coins used to mine.

Have a great day.

It's not that extreme.  Them's just the breaks dealing with profit switching.  You will never get the full amount for a coin mined now by the time it goes to the exchange and back to your balance on these sites.

Been loving Awesome Miner. Been working with the scripts and having a blast. I was wondering was there a way to set the profit factor for each pool/algo from script or api? I see that you can change it in the Online services-Edit but not seeing any way of doing it otherwise.

Oh also is there a easy way to get to the difficulty of the coin the miner is currently mining? Similar to how it gives it when you do the Generate API report. It shows a summary with a bunch of data right at the top and I would love to get at that through the script or api as well.

Thanks.

This seems...extreme. Do you have evidence or proof that these multipools are stealing that much? 30% for zpool? 50% for zergpool? Seems rather nuts...

hi AM team,

a quick suggestion, can you put another option in "console window mode" as minimize window ?
ie : to run all miners as minimized window.


thanks

It's sib (X11Ghost) Should I switch the Profit Factor = 0,001??

I'm seeing an issue as the log below shows. This is on an AMD GPU, the miner is Claymores Dual Ethereum+decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal

This goes on for a few minutes, Awesome Miner flags this error, but then it just restarts itself trying to mine the same two coins, rinse and repeat!

I've had to manually stop it and turn on NiceHash for the time being as no time to troubleshoot

Yes, the point would be to do it from the miners menu, just select the unused/old ones and delete them right from there.

Patrike, I think that would be very useful to have on "online services" tab 3 sortable columns with profit instead of one (current , 24h estimates and 24h actual) and the selected option from options -> statistics settings to be with bold text.

Parike, each pool has miners worth in hardware between $10 million and $50 million and this is the amount users spent from their money to buy hardware equipment and I do think that AM should help them by informing how much each pool is inflating revenue values, because pools are exaggerating a lot and this is affecting so many users and you can inform them better, with informative values (these 3 columns) and also with additional functionality you promised to implement that will help users that paid for AM.

This is a piece of code from MegaMiner Software

@@POOLPROFITFACTOR_AHASHPOOL=0.7
@@POOLPROFITFACTOR_NICEHASH=1
@@POOLPROFITFACTOR_MININGPOOLHUB=0.8
@@POOLPROFITFACTOR_ZPOOL=0.7
@@POOLPROFITFACTOR_ZERGPOOL=0.5
@@POOLPROFITFACTOR_BLAZEPOOL=0.7

I've tested and I had similar values when testing with identical rigs.

We have to inform users about the fact that some pools are stealing even 50% from your maximum income and that it is mandatory to find solutions and create a plugin that will inform users about real income they will be receiving from these pools.

What do you think ?

that doesn't work, as the little help exclamation point says its only used with cgminer and sgminer.  I'm looking for a way to do it for dstm?

Hi and thanks for your feedback.

The rules for restarting a miner can currently only be defined for a specific hashrate, not a percentage. You can for example define that if the hashrate is 0 or if the hashrate is below 3 TH/s, a reboot of the miner will be performed. See the examples here:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/rules.aspx

I've been thinking of improving the hashrate trigger to allow you to compare a miner with a Profit profile, where you have target hashrates configured per algorithm. It would be good to be able to compare (incl. percentage) the hashrates of the profit profile with what the miner is currently performing.

There are some good changes for the pool operations in the next release. I've not only put Pool Groups on top, but also made it possible to search for pool names.

I've also made the implementation for supporting any Yiimp-compatible pool like starpool.biz. I've had many requests about adding this flexibility as there are so many pools being launched all the time. I'm currently testing the feature and will add some documentation about it on the web site. It will be included in the next release of Awesome Miner. Please try out this new feature once available.

You can remove multiple miners via the Options dialog, and then either External Miners or Managed Miners section.
