Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 427. (Read 703113 times)

If you add it to the Managed Miner or to the Pool custom command lines does it override the default?

Can someone help with intensity changes for ccminer

What I've tried: Go to Managed Software > CcMiner 2.2.4 found the line for the algo I wish to modify (Phi) entered --intensity=20 in the User defined Command Line argument I've also tried -i 20

Result, miner starts up, and within seconds the window disappears...

when looking at the logs, I can see that the default i 25 is in the command line argument, along with the values I input into the Managed Software section.


Help? please.

If this happens often to you, you should setup or adjust a rule based upon Accepted progress.  If the accepted rate doesn't increase after X number of minutes, then have AM apply a template (or you could do another pool) so it will mine something else.

There are limitations, but yes.  It depends on what you mean by "miner goes down".  If you mean the mining software crashes, but the rig is otherwise fine... then yes... AM will restart the mining software.  You can adjust the rule about this to also reboot the rig for good measure if you like.

If you mean that the rig locks up, then AM will not be able to communicate with the Remote Service to issue a reboot command.  In this case you'd want to setup further automation via AM like my (shameless plug)... Puwaha's Poor Man's Networked PDU: Using Smart Plugs and Awesome Miner...  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-puwahas-poor-mans-networked-pdu-using-smart-plugs-and-awesome-miner-2866608

Yes, you need to add the uploaded custom mining software to the Managed Software section in AM.  After doing so, you'll see it listed under the profit profile properties.



There's multiple places to add additional commands.  Where you add them depends on where you want to apply it.  The simplest is adding the -i 25 at the Custom Pool level.  But this may not work if you have rigs that need different intensities... so you can add it at the rig level.  You can even add it at the online services pool level.

You can already have AM check hash rate and accepted shares and configure rules from there.

It is really needed to have the possibility to add specific intensity values for each algo.

ccminer's default intensity is much less tan your GPU can handle. I tested with increasing intensity until crashing the miner and you can get 30% more has rate and more money for a part of the algos and AM really needs to have custom settings like it was requested in the past for each algo and not only for the miner like it is implemented right now.

ALSO:
I believe it would be better to show income statistics based on submitted (and also accepted shares) , instead AM not 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 that it has connection issues or it is not responding, and does not take time into consideration, it is not the correct behavior.
AM should have a timer that checks every x seconds the reported hashrate from the miner's API, 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. RIGHT ?

I have determined how to upload custom mining software however is there a way I can add the mining software as an entirely new entry is the list under profit profile properties?

Also, can I set miner specific entries like, -i 25,for certain algorithms (or possibly custom pools) and not for the entire miner software? I have noticed I can tune some algorithms up a bit more but then it causes crashing on others.

Would like to see AM better support the AntRouter R1-LTC. My team played with it some today, and we're able to connect and switch pools just fine, but pushing new pools doesn't work. Says it succeeded but in reality did not. I believe my tech also said that temp data doesn't show in AM, but I believe temp data doesn't show in the AntRouter's interface anywhere either, so maybe that's why.

We bought a chunk of these units to slow-mine random Scrypt coins. I'd think it might not be too tough for AM to figure the quirks and support them officially.

Thanks in advance!

Any solution for the issue from above ?

Hi Folks, how is everyone’s experience with Awesome Miner auto reboot feature on the miners? Does this mean if I’m away and a miner goes down it will auto reboot? Any experiences of users of this feature? Please provide feedback. Thanks.

Thanks for that explanation Puwaha

I was under the assumption that when a coin was hot, it simply meant from a mining perspective. I didnt think it was related to its market price just perhaps difficulty or popularity. I was previously thinking that running AM for even less time to hit several of these small peaks would be beneficial but after reading your explanation I guess it could actually be detrimental. Im just trying to find a good rhythm to run these rigs on to maximize their profits (but I guess so is everyone else)

Thanks again for your help

Not quite a copyright issue, but this is what Patrike said before:

---
Excavator v1.2 is not at all compatible with Excavator v1.1 included in Awesome Miner. They completely redesigned both the API and command line options between v1.1 and v1.2, so they are not compatible at all.

At some point I will add support for Excavator v1.2, once they keep the API more stable. There will be quite an implementation effort to support the new v1.2, and so far I don't think this miner has been so popular. Also, as you probably noticed in their license information, I'm explicitly forbidden to automatically download Excavator from Awesome Miner. So the user experience will not be as good when I move to v1.2.

It's correct that the new versions of Excavator are forbidden to be automatically download by Awesome Miner, as Nicehash EULA restricts this. That's one of the reason why I didn't prioritize putting any effort into this mining software. The other reason is that the API and entire setup of this mining software is a bit strange, and was changed a lot from their previous versions. I do understand that it could still make sense to support it, but Excavator didn't turn out to be so popular in the community anyway.

I'm getting a large number of questions and requests these days so even if this item is on the list of features to implement, it has not yet been a top priority. Thanks for your feedback on this.

I assume we are currently on v1.1?

I could be wrong, but didn't someone mention that excavator cannot be packaged with AM because of copyright issues?

I can write a program to convert excavator into being supported in AwesomeMiner.. already did it before CAST, stak, and xmrig were supported..

How to add custom command line argument to mining software?

And guys, with EWBF miner, can u also use other commands like --fee 0 --tempunits C --templimit 50 etc, within AM ? or the commands it supports are limited or it supports all commands what EWBF supports ?

yes, you're right.  we can't live only with hopes.. i think so... i can't imagine Excavator guys supporting an obsolete API only for support.

At me 3 * 1060 and 1 * 1080 and at inclusion blake2s there is a blade of the driver, tell me your settings for card and command line parameters

This built-in miners need a serious upgrade.

I tested the built-in ccminer vs Excavator (1.4.2.a) on AHashPool and found that Excavator is faster as follows:


Blake2s      - 16% Faster
NeoScrypt  -  30% Faster


These figures are nothing to joke about when it comes to dollars.

I hope the author seriously considers at least upgrading to the latest Excavator. Otherwise we are all loosing money big time.

(Note: I was able to configure the latest Excavator to run with AM, it can start/stop/monitor it, but does not report any metrics). And profit switching of course does not work.
