Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 410. (Read 703512 times)

If you're talking about windows flagging your miner as a virus, I had to set exceptions (in Windows Defender) for the AwesomeMiner folders in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData folder, then delete the AwesomeMiner folders in AppData folder (I deleted the ones in Roaming and Local folders...that was the important step for me) Reboot, and I was good to go.

If that's not your issue, then sorry I'm no help

Are you sure that mining current profit is better than 24h?

I did the test with 2 identical rigs using 2 separate btc addresses and it turned for me that current statistics had lower BTC income after 24 hours or 48 hours than the rig with 24h statistics. Anyone else tested with 2 identical rigs and separate payout addresses for accuracy ? All you have to consider is the actual BTC amount from your payout address, not current statistics that have nothing in common with real income and all you care is the amount you are getting paid, that is important.  

Pools are adjusting difficulty and also many coins have a lot of variation in difficulty, but the low difficulty that you see in statistics lasts just a few minutes and after that is decreasing a lot because of spiked hashrate. The Pool might not find any coins with low difficulty and also pool can crash because of the spike.

You end with hashrate that is not registered into the database and you are not paid for, also you have orphaned blocks.

Because pools are not using load balancing with separate servers and many xeon cpus per server they are not prepared for spikes. And when server is overloaded, you end with zero hashrate registered in the database and paid for. You are not rambursed by the pool for that, the pool received that coin and remains with it.

When you see "connection refused" from the pool that is a very bad sign.
  
I do advise pool administrators to use dual xeon servers with at least 28 physical cores and 56 threads 2x Xeon E5-2680v4 - 28c/56t - 2.4GHz /3.3GHz  (like this one https://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/enterprise/1801mg03.xml )
 that will handle big spikes from current statistics. If they have 10 smaller servers, it is useles, because 90% of the time only 1 or 2 will be used by the miners so distribution of the miners is not happening and it is concentrated only to 2 or 3 algos (that are : miners with 24h statistics, miners with current statistics, ASICS and miners with AMD or Nvidia ).

With yiimp based pools I use the current estimate. The 24 hour estimate is an average of the previous 24 hours. Yiimp does not attempt to predict the next 24 hours (if it could do that with any accuracy we would all be rich ).

As they say in the financial services industry, past performance is not indicative of future results.

I'm sure others will have different opinions.

Any suggestions on how to fix the "Failed to start miner process" error? I cant seem to figure it out.

Hi all,

what are you using? 24 hour average estimate or 24 hour average current? Or maybe only current? and why? Someone is doing some test?

Thanks to all 

Correct me if I am wrong but the managed templates are for managed miners not profit switching miners. This was the first thing I tried but it wanted me to specify a coin and pool to mine to rather than allowing profit switching.

Is it possible to have the information in balance show up in the web UI?

Anyone knows if the is any implementation for individual GPU Overclocking profile to save diferente clocks of the same rig on the same profile?
For exemple i have 2 types of GPU on the same rig. When i create a profile the values will be the same for the six GPU and i needed to have independent values for the 2 diferente models on the same rig.

Also if this cant be done could we separate the gpu on the same rig to be 2 diferente miners?

I figured it out. This is now a feature request/bug report. The "Add/Change Pool..." option is missing from the web interface only for the DSTM miner. It is showing for EWBF, which happens to be what is running on the 4.1.2 agent.

Would just like to say this is great software patrike, keep up the good work! The Enterprise edition was easily the best investment I have made into mining. 

For those who have been asking, I have a rough release of my custom coin plugin released here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30620154

Hello Patrike,
Is it possible to see what is happening in console tab of a rig even if we set in environment properties to hide the window ?

Actually it started happening again on that same computer. AM starts the miner, finds one or two shares and then the miner shuts down. If it run the miner with just a .bat file on that computer with identical settings it runs correctly. I'm on the latest version of AM. Any ideas?

please add price of Zcoin (XZC)

From my point of view the pool that gives the most real and verified income per day is the one that must be used. The pool administrators should be careful and monitor the coins and pool behavior 24/24  and if they take care of the best income we take care of  using them, I see this as a win-win situation.  Pool administrators get a lot of money form 10k miners and we are using the pool that gives us the best income.

To offer the best income it matters all kind of things like the coins enabled, Yiimp settings, disabling coins with issues, adding new coins and algos, carefully managing the exchange of all coins to BTC with the lowest fee.  I do not want to maintain all of these besides maintaining hundreds of rigs.


So, I do believe that paying more than 10%, sometimes 20% to the pool administrators is too much for me and also I do believe you agree that it might be too much for you also.  I also do not like at all to be lied and have my income stolen by all kind of tricks like misleading statistics, or 10% exchange rate fee or unmaintained pool that leads to zero income for half a day. I did pay a lot of money to buy the rigs, I do pay a lot on electricity and I do expect the pool to be fair because besides monitoring it, they do not have anything else to do, so they should get 1% pure profit from 20k miners and every month that means a lot of money for them, they have no risks like we all do, money spent on hardware.

With all these pools stealing huge amount from you all along for so long,  I'm surprised you haven't found even an honest pool to mine on... or with all those huge stolen amount that you haven't invested in enough ASICs just to solo mine so nobody steals from you again.  Why exactly are you still mining on predefined online services even?

Consensual masochism?

Why don't you run a pool yourself and monitor it 24/24 and see how fair a pool op you could be... plenty of scripts on github to start your own and give it a go.

And how would you expect Patrike to do the monitoring? Blatantly accusing every pool owners or go up to them and ask "Are you stealing this week?"

We are talking about huge amounts of money that they are stealing from us every day and that you are not aware of.
You need to have 2 identical rigs from 2 pools that you consider the best let's say ahashpool vs zpool or ahashpool vs MiningPoolHub  and the rest of your 100 rigs mining on the best results from previous days.

After you have the amount that was stolen from you, you can disable the ones that are not performing correctly and also inform the community about your findings to get rid of the pools that are owned by unfair people that do not care about the others, and the result can be seen on HashRefinery that is misleading statistics every day and as a result they went form 10k gpu miners online 200 gpu miners online, all because it is very easy to see when you are being ripped by HashRefinery and you loose money. If you remember HashRefinery had the same issues last year also, when Patrike removed HashRefinery from AM, and HashRefinery did not learn the lesson. Important is the amount of btc you are receiving after 24 hours and not the advertised fee that is not relevant.

Also we have to advise Patrike to add some new and better pools in default settings from AM because of so many users, we have to spread the miners to avoid "connection refused errors" that now appear more often than ever.
We need pools with fair owners that are also monitoring the pool 24/24 and is taking care of avoiding mining orphaned blocks or reporting misleading statistics to AM, that is the worst, because on zpool, for example , when reposrts are the highest from the list, I noticed that income is zero and that can be seen on statistics from pool payments per Khash/mHash.

Have a nice day.
 

This is exactly what I am doing every day and I advise everyone of you to do this at least once per week.

I can also tell you that pools that are stealing from you are doing that almost every day and are misleading statistics every day, so if you do filter the bad ones from time to time, you can disable pools that are stealing from you, because if you have  more than 100 rigs it worth it, and it matters also for under 100 rigs that you own if you consider the amount of money you are loosing every month.

Keep doing that and soon there won't be any pools left to mine on...

Having an issue hoping someone can help with. In the web interface, clicking on a miner gives a list of options at the bottom of the screen (ex. Reboot, Stop, Restart)
I've noticed all of my miners (6) running the 4.4.1 or 4.4.4 AM agent version (not installed as a service) are missing the "Add/Change Pool..." option.

However one of my rigs I have not updated the agent on and it is running the 4.1.2 version, and that does show the "Add/Change Pool..." option.

Is there something I need to enable in the newer client version? I'm running the Enterprise Edition. Tried even a fresh install on another machine with 4.4.4. Have multi-user authentication enabled for the web interface and 'enable pool configuration in web interface' is set. Like I said, it is working for 1 rig, running the old client.

Thanks! 

I'm having an issue with a remote awesome miner (on the same network) that runs for about 5 minutes and then stops. I have it set to autostart but it doesnt restart. It happens on multiple pools and ccminer versions. I have reinstalled the remote agent software but the issue still occurs. Any idea what could be causing this?

EDIT: I uninstalled the remote service again and then went to app data and deleted all AM folders. Reinstalled and now appears stable.
