Make sure you have the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio installed. I made that mistake too.

Is it currently possible to add any sort of profit weighting to pools to account for fees, or is that already done, and if not can I suggest it.

I will use scrypt and a couple of pools to explain what I mean.

litecoinpool.org : this is a pps pool that pays 102% : Profit value 102
ahashpool.com : current fees are 1% : Profit Value 99
zpool : current fees 1.25% + 5% : Profit Value 93.75
Nicehash : current fees 3-4% : Profit Value 96.5

This would allow the profit switcher to take into account the actual returns before deciding if/when to switch

So for example litecoinpool is paying 0.002050 and I have it set to only change on a 5% difference, the current profit switcher may see zpool at 0.002173 which is 6% more, but the reality is that's a losing pool switch.

TIA

For the most part I'm loving the profit switching. I have a few kinks to work out, but it's definetly doing way better then Nicehash. A couple of questions that someone might be able to help me with. First off, I was mining away last night, everything was good, I came back into the room at one point and the computer had restarted. I set everything up so if this happened again the computer would load right to the desktop. Then I had some issues where certain algos caused Windows Defender to block them. I took care of that issue, then it was mining away again, and it was actually doing double the NH payout for awhile ($19.95 with my cards). Then it restarted again, and when it came back up it was doing a different algo and only getting $15. Oh well, thats how that goes. So I stopped overclocking my CPU, and started using NHM just for the CPU since it seemed NH is paying the most for that anyways. At one point I checked on Awesome miner and it was stopped. It had a message that it couldn't connect and it had tried too many times (I think 4) so I tried again manually, and it still failed to connect 4 times and stopped again. I was reading stuff trying to figure out what was wrong for maybe 15 minutes and then I tried the start button again, and it started right up. It was mining great again, so I went to bed. I got up in the morning and it was stopped again. I hit start and it started right up. (luckily after checking the pools it was only down for a half hour)  So I'm thinking certain algorithms are causing trouble, and when there's a new most profitable algo it tries that and everything is good again. So anyways, it mined away for a couple hours and it was on lyra2rev2 and making $16.85 a day, which is pretty good. So I was sipping on my coffee watching, and it switches to timetravel at $2.21 a day! I watched for like 5 minutes and the price never really went up, (maybe $2.35) so I hit the stop, then the start, and it went to Neoscrypt at $17.50 a day. So, my questions are, first, how can I tell which algorithms are causing it to stop mining so I can disable them or choose a different miner? And second, why would it switch to an algorithm that is so much less profitable then the one it was on? I have it set to only change if 3% difference. Thank you much for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

Hey all, I just purchased awesome miner and having an issue with ccminer.  I get this when it launches.  Ideas what is wrong?  thanks all

Once a week or so one of my remote Nvidia Managed Profit Miner rigs locks up and requires a reboot. I only get notifications for the rig being offline maybe once out of every ten times it does this. Am I missing something in the configuration? All my email tests through Gmail work without issue. How do I troubleshoot something like this is there a log to review?

Here is my rules...just the default. Rig has been offline for 8 hours with no email received.

Excellent, thank you sir.

Once Bminer is fully tested and released next week, Phoenix Miner is the next mining software on the priority list.

I will go ahead and just add a few more URL parameters for these coin properties. The overall concept will still be the same.

Please use the Diagnostics button in the toolbar to see if you get any specific error messages.

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.
