Patrike,

When do you think we can get PhoenixMiner supported as a managed profit miner?

I can't seem to get this to work.  Under profit profile, I select excavator, configure, then use --cuda 1 in the command line argument but that doesn't seem to effect anything.  I have a GPU in 0 and 1.

Thank you very much Patrike, for the effort and understanding the things that are really important for our returns.

Tracking and storing a history of pool hashrates is very useful, because we will be able to select the pools that are fair and have the highest profits using as I suggested, the unique miner ID identifications. You have the statistics refreshed every few seconds for each miner from pool API, with the updated total hashes and you can see the progress between 2 different units of time.

Thank you for adding new pools like:  zergpool  minemoney  blazepool or other pools that will help us diversify and select the pools with the highest proffits.

For example zergpool has 0% fee and if their exchange fee is lower than ~6% exchange fee that we all pay to to pools, to change mined coins to BTC, we will be able to have 10% more profit and use that pool.

Thank you for that.


 

Awesome! Thank you, this will help quite a lot.
Yes, that would be a huge help to me and anyone else who wants to add many custom coins in the future.

I am very happy you all see that my pragmatic ideas are good and that you all want fair pools and a better product from Awesome Miner.

It will work great with TensorFlow to implement a neural network that if you train and configure correctly it would be useful.
Remember that there is always someone with a higher knowledge than you that can know more than you, and TensorFlow is a great product.

Have a great day.

@patrike, I'm running a main device and 1 remote agent. I have excavator installed in the exact same places on both rigs. Excavator fails to start on the remote rig though. Is there a trick to have it run on both?

thanks!

That's not supported. Right now Awesome Miner is taking the screen capture of the console window and display. If the window is hidden, that's unfortunately not possible.

Thanks for the suggestions. I agree that the benchmarking can be improved. I will use your feedback and the feedback in a few other posts here as input to future improvements of Awesome Miner.

Yes, an update to Awesome Miner will be required. Awesome Miner will have to take the new value and divide by 1000 to get the correct reading.

For some reason, Yiimp pools use the same hash rate unit for display on the web site as in their API's. Preferably the API's should have a fixed unit, but that's not the case. Nicehash also uses that design.

Development update

This purpose of this post is to give an update on what's in the pipeline right now. The plan is to have a development release available in a couple of days from now, and then a public release about one week from now.

- Pool Balance: Show unpaid balance and recent payouts from the pools used by the profit switcher (Nicehash, zpool, MPH, ...). In the future this will be improved by also tracking pool hashrates and similar information where available.
- Bminer mining software
- New pools for the profit switcher

In addition to the above, there will also be a number of smaller improvements as well.

I appreciate all feedback and discussions about improvements. I prioritize the development based on the most requested features in order to make as many users as possible happy.

Hello!

First of all, thanks for your great work on adding additional coins and statistics to Awesome Miner with your scripts.

I do have some good news for you. I've implemented support for adding and removing user defined coins via the API . There will be a new development release with support for it in a few days from now.

Add user defined coin with profitability
Similar to the API call to set coin profitability, a new user defined coin can automatically be added if no coin with the specified short name exists. The name and algorithm parameters must be specified for the coin to be added. If the coin already exists, the name and algorithm parameters will be ignored and only the profitability will be updated.

Example:

Delete user defined coin
Example:

What I've not finalized yet is a way to set other parameters like coin difficulty and so on. I can add that quite fast if there is a need for it as well - just let me know. Any feedback is of course welcome.

Difficulty changes all the time. Also I don't know about everyone else, but the temperature in NY changes week by week. A few weeks ago it was 62 in my apartment (I don't use heat just miners) and 5 degrees outside with all windows closed. Now it's 75 in my apartment using window fans and 72 outside. That makes a difference too. I rebenchmark every once in awhile already so it would be cool if the program did it for me, and choose the best time to do it when profits are low already. Even a 1-2% increase in profits on one or 2 algorithims could be alot of money being left on the table. It would be an option of course, and like I said, you could just select the top contenders ie:results of 620s 650s 660s 661s 662s, you could check off the 660, 661, and 662. Maybe the next week (or set it for a month, or even 2) the mining software that was registering as 661 is now doing 607, and the one that was 662 is coming up at 659 now.

I don't understand the need for all of this benchmarking. Unless new software comes out your hashrate for a given algo on a specific mining software will always be a constant.

Hello. Thank you for a great program, and even more so because it is constantly evolving with the great suggestions of actual miners. I'd like to second (or third, or fourth, who's counting?) the suggestion of benchmarking every algorithm with every mining software available. Also I was thinking about the periodic re-benchmark feature. My little contribution to that would be if you could set it to let's say "Benchmark approximately every 7-10 days" "Benchmark approximately every 15-20 days", etc, then, the cool part would be that the program runs the benchmark when it detects (for instance) the current profitability is at it's lowest point in the last period. (like run the benchmark sometime between the 7th and 10th day or the 15th-20th day using stats from the period in the example) Also it would be cool to select which mining software re-benchmarks, so you could deselect mining software that isn't even in the ballpark, and only re-benchmark serious contenders. Just a couple ideas that could help, since it seems we're always chasing that 5 or 10 percent that we've lost in profitability. Also, maybe this is obvious, but for re-benchmarking it would be great if it could be  ran on only one GPU if they are all the same model to reduce downtime. And once again, thank you for all you do!

I agree and understand.

I have been collecting coin stats, and trying to make a profit switch algorithm.  It is really hard.  You get a current difficulty, or a 24h average, or 2, 4,8 h... this is by no mean, an indicative of future performance.  Take for example DNR, whose difficulty swings wildly in -1000% to + 1000% from an avegare.  Even if someone figure out how to do this, there is still the price.  Some coins have a high volatility in exchanges.  

I will try to use machine learning in order to predict a little better future performance, based on past and current data, but there is no garantee it will work.  

I agree, this would be AWESOME

Because this eminer likes to be babysitted.  Because he likes to complain and offend others.  Because he thinks patrike has a telephatic connection to him, so every simple custom feature he thinks is usefull and "urgent", should be implemented right away.

Eminer.. why dont you hire someone to make your own profit switch software?

I am a computer programmer for the last 32 years.  Tired of this kind of user.

I agree with you on those suggestions. I dream of a precise benchmark that would do as follow :
- For each algorithm, test all compatible software and select the best one as the one to use ! For example an equihash test on nvidia card would select the best software between ccminer, EWBF and DSTM.
- Once the software is selected, then make another test to determine for each algorithm what would be the best intensity.

On top of that, if AM would be able to make similar profit calculations as Nemosminer can do, we could have the best managing sofware for miners !

There's an announcement on Ahashpool about them changing the unit for "scrypt" to mBTC/Gh/day (from previously mBTC/Mh/day) to match other pools.
Does Awesome Miner need to update for this to keep the calculations correct?
