Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 425. (Read 703113 times)

Quick question guys, trying to troubleshoot an issue with hashrefinery its reporting a ridiculous profit in awesome miner for nist5 (£1300 a month) and its throwing the profit switching for my 6GPU rig I wish it was right!

Any ideas where I can start to troubleshoot this? all other Algos look as expected. I have benchmarked and also tried saving the hash rate but still its obsessed with this algorithm.

Many thanks

Anyone managed to configure it ?

Trying to figure out. No luck as yet...

This is a zpool error. I had the same issue and I reached out to zpool support and took care of it for me right away. They are able to convert it from BCH to BTC.

I let auto profit mining for a while and I have found out all my zpool mining, which was pointed to a BTC wallet, was considered BCH. I even had the "Select BTC payout when using zpool..." option enabled.  Now I have $21 in a non withdrawable address (BCH pointed to a BTC address).   I have changed to another BTC address, and manually added a "-p c=BTC" at the command line for all zpool rows at "Online Services".

Not sure if this is a zpool error, or AM.

Not sure if this makes sense so please advise if I'm not pointing to the right direction.

As I increase the number of rigs/GPUs, I see more rigs found in 'dead' state where I cannot issue soft 'reboot' command through AM. And this is not due to aggressive OC nor GPUs overheating. I understand that it's not AM's fault either. Seems to happen to one rig every couple of days when I wake up.

So in order to overcome this, I'm looking at watchdog (or similar) to hard reboot the machines. Eventually, I'll probably end up getting a watchdog built by the same person who built the SMOS but for now, since all rigs are all over my house, wired connection is not an option.

I bought couple of cheapo smart plugs that claim they are IFTTT compatible and I managed to get them to turn on and off using the webhook applet. I also managed to get them triggered via AM when the rigs are detected as 'offline'. It actually works well the first time it detects offline it but if it goes down again before I get a chance to clear the notification messages within AM, it no longer gets triggered.

This is what I did:

Trigger - (time interval : 5 mins) AND (detect offline, 120 secs)
Actions - (send webhook to turn switch off), (wait 30 secs), (send webhook to switch on), (notification)

For the last notification, I did turn off 'Notify once until acknowledged).

Am I doing this right?

Not sure if people saw this yesterday on ahashpool or not


So which is the preferred way to setup AM?

Request to the top!

When can we expect to see support for Bminer? It's easily the fastest equihash miner available right now for CUDA mining.

Has anyone else gotten this working as external software? I've added it by following all of the steps in the documentation but when AwesomeMiner tries to run it the cmd prompt opens then closes right away. Bminer works correctly on this system if I run it on it's own.

I want to configure excavator and I added external miner excavator (latest) but I am undable to benchmark or start mining with excavator. Do you have any tutorial about how to configure the latest version of excavator ?
Why can't we use excavator with "managed profit miner" by adding excavator to "user defined mining software" and select compatibility "excavator latest" ?

Thanks for the Excavator support!

Thank you very much, Patrike.
We are frustrated because a lot of money are lost when AM does not take actions to solve issues like failing miners or pool failure.  
It is very important to have them solved, because even if it is not being reported, the problems from above are present to all users of AM that paid for the premium version.
I do appreciate that you are concentrating on fixing the functionality of the software and I hope it will be ready soon, it will reduce our stress with the monitoring and errors we see.

Questions:
1) If I want to add more custom pools, is AM compatible with all type of pools with full support, or just Yiimp pools ?
2) Do you know if there is a list somewhere with a list of pools ordered by number of miners ? I am asking this because lately HashRefinery is doomed, and it is misleadingly reporting revenue of $400/day/rig instead of a real rate like $40/day/rig and makes AM switch to HashRafinery and actually do $10/day/rig . To solve this I disabled HashRafinery. Zpool recovered a little on past 2 days from DDOS attacks, but zpool now has 30k miners, probably they upgraded hardware with load balancing.
So I do not have too many options I only use AHashPool and MPH and I want to check some other good pools that can be integrated latter in AM and that will solve another problem that AM is currently causing to pools. For example when a new algo is more profitable, all 2000 miners witch from one algo to another and DDOS protection (or system sudden overload) denies connections from a part of them. Having more options might distribute the load a little for similar values like +/-$2 and also will allow AM to function better with the solution you are implementing right now.

What do you think ?


PS: If you check HashRefinery right now (http://pool.hashrefinery.com/site/mining on nist5 algo) , they started reporting $600/rig/day on nist5 and in just 1 minute the number of miners on nist5 form HashRefinery whent form 100 to 10800 miners on nist5 ... WOW . Also, I had one test rig to see what is happening, it simply was not being able to connect to HasRefinery because there were already 9300 connected and probably their server crashed. Do you think the users that switched to HasRefinery/Nist5 made anything ? All the miners lost the money during this period and also ccminer had red error on screen with connection refused, retry in 30 sec for 10 minutes, without any action form AM to switch to the next pool from the list.

Microsoft has a tool for removing software where the Windows Installer (used for MSI based installations) isn't behaving as it should:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed

Please give it a try.

Thanks for your feedback.

1) I'm planning to add the pool balance on the Balance tab, just below the existing list of wallet addres balances. This item is quite high on my priority list, but the implementation has not yet started. Hopefully I will have it done before the end of this month.

2) I've already started the implementation for detecting pool failures as part of the profit switcher. What I've implemented so far is that the profit switcher looks at the number of Accepted Shares. If it's not moving for 5 - 10 minutes (configurable), the pool will be marked as "failed" and will be ignored by the profit switcher for 2 - 24 hours (configurable). The profit switcher would then move on to the next pool that isn't marked as "failed".

What I've implemented so far should at least partially solve the case you describe. Hopefully I will be able to have a first release with this feature later this week.

Awesome Miner version 4.4.1

- Cloud Services: Multiple Telegram clients can sign in and get notifications from Awesome Miner
- Cloud Services: Heartbeat feature includes support for Telegram notifications
- Display of Accepted and Rejected shares per GPU for Claymore Ethereum miner
- Configuration of automatic restart of crashed miner can be disabled by setting 0 restart attempts in the Options dialog, Advanced section
- Trigger for Check Statistics adds support for evaluating Rejected shares in addition to Accepted shares.
- Trigger for Computer Idle adds support for specifying time in seconds instead of minutes
- Notification list support keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C to copy all notifications to clipboard
- Awesome Miner API for miners includes hashrate value specified as a number
- Profit switcher will show error message if no pool can fulfill the requirements of the selected combination of algorithms and mining software
- Excavator 1.4 supported as External Miner
- Alexis Ccminer version updated
- Corrected hashrate summary when moving miners between groups
- Minor corrections

The first step is to try the Diagnostics button to see if it indicates any specific issues. If not, please send me the log files for Awesome Miner and Remote Agent, and indicate the time of the issue.

The recommendation is to configure Windows to not display those crash dialogs, because it prevents the ccminer process from terminating correctly. Once you configure Windows to terminate the process instead, Awesome Miner will detect it and take care of it. Please see "Terminate crashed mining software":

Thank you for adding Excavator support and for the effort to integrate new api from it.

I want to propose to you some improvements :

1) I think it would be very useful for all AM users to see also the hash-rate a pool records for us. Lately almost all pools had connection problems, was stopped or they are simply recording a lower hashrate than the one that we see on miner's window.
To achieve this you have to call pool's API : https://www.ahashpool.com/api/walletEx/?address=   and you have the list of all miners. You have to uniquely identify each AM instance by assigning a uniquely generated random ID (that appears also in API json from the pool) that remains the same for a RIG (do not generate a new id when starting a new miner to track past values). Now that you have uniquely identified  each instance you will have to download every 1 minute a new JSON from the link above and add values together with timestamp in an array you store for each pool and algo. By making the difference between 2 consecutive different values and divide to the number of seconds between the 2 values you have the real HashRate per second from the Pool. You also can show values like : unsold, balance and unpaid for that pool.
The implementation from above will give us very useful insight about each pool performance and can help us earn more, now that BTC has a very low value, every optimization is really useful.

2) Sometimes when pools have too many connections they disable new connections for a period of time for a specific algo. In this case AM remains stucked with the last value AM received from the mining instance of ccminer and does nothing to fix that.
I believe it would be better to show income statistics based on submitted (and also accepted shares) , instead AM now remains without any refresh to the last hash rate that was submitted by ccminer  even hours ago.
If AM waits for hours for an updated hashrate from ccminer and does not take time into consideration it is not the correct behavior. It should have a timer that checks every x seconds the received hashrate from the miner (if there isn't an updated value - identical values could also be a problem - , the for several checks, that miner has an issue) with one minute delay when miner is started to allow all GPUs to be started and send hash rates. Like this if one pool / algo server is offline, it will change to the next most profitable algo from the list.


What do you think, Patrike ?

I've been having troubles trying to set up a remote miner on the same local network. I've installed the remote service agent program on my remote PC.

I've added a new miner using the "New Managed Profit Miner" option, specifying my "Miner Host" as my remote rig's local IP, and performed a  "test connection" option, which works successfully.

Yet when all of this is done and I right click "Start Miner", my main (host) PC just shows the remote miner as greyed out when I right click, not letting me stop it, along with not actually mining/starting anything on the remote rig.

Any thoughts/ideas?

every so often one of my versions of ccminer will crash. Is there a setting that will detect this and restart it?
I have to close the miner window and then it will auto restart.

thx
