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

I haven't tried that, because that would apply it to any miner/algo. I just need it for one specific case

Right, I'm trying to help you diagnose the problem so we can see if it's a bug that Patrike needs to address.



but your solution/advice is not what I need or want.


Background: In Awesome Miner > Managed Software, there exists the ability to add a "User Defined command line argument"  for each supported Algo of the mining software. (in my case Ccminer/Phi)

Expectation:adding -i 20 or --intensity=20 to the "User Defined command line argument" results in CcMiner using an intensity of 20 for Phi algo

Result: CcMiner launches and closes within seconds, red error message shown too quickly to read. Log shows that the default -i 25 is included in the command line argument along with my user defined -i 20, causing CcMiner to crash

Resolution: user defined intensity should replace the default intensity



His suggestion does work - if you're using a pool that is phi only, or a multi-algo pool with a phi specific port, just set the intensity at either the pool or multi-algo pool.

That said, I believe you're trying to do as the picture shows here (set user defined command line arguments) at the miner level. If that isn't working then it indeed is a bug. https://www.awesomeminer.com/help/managedsoftware.aspx

Dear puwaha , next time try and understand and test things before writing wrong and misleading answers.

Have a nice day.
   

You are kind of a jerk... so... good luck.

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 ?


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.

You did not understand the question.

Read again and test it yourself.

Try and unplug network cable to check in the simplest way. 

The problem is that if zpool is under DDOS attack, when ccminer tries to submit the shares it shows "connection refused" error. During this period AM does not update hashing rate and remains with the old hashrate for minutes or even hours. This is a big mistake from implementation algorithm because AM waits for updates from a miner that could be broken instead of AM having a computed hash rate per second that will solve a lot of problems like the one from above, when if you have 24 hours statistics you could have ccminer stucked for 12  hours or more instead of having it restarted (or switching to next one from statistics list) by AM like it suppose to do in a correct way.

In this case, does CC miner still register accepted shares (not talking about hash rate)? If not, the accepted shares rule would address your problem. If you unplug your router and had no internet, a rule if a miner is offline would also address this problem.

I've done this also. The problem is that you can not specify intensity for each algo for ccminer or every other miner.  
The window was closing in my case with the error "out of memory" for a part of the algos and i was able to view this with "Diagnostics" function from toolbar.

Having custom intensity settings specially for your GPU will increase your income by 30%. Default intensity values varies from one different chip to another but for example for Nvidia 1080 chip used on Gigabyte AORUS that is made from copper plate you will be able to get 20% more hash rate than a low end KFA2 1080 GPU that does not have copper pipes or copper plate, it has a small steel radiator.  So, ccminer does not know you have AORUS and it starts with minimal intensity settings for 1080, the same happens if you have water cooled gpu or the gpu rig submersed in mineral oil that offers huge overclocking advantage.

I believe this should be considered a priority by the developer of AM, instead of answering emails he should focus on fixing all issues with the software that are critical, because not taking an action and loosing money is as bad as AM crashing and being useles.

Have a great day.  



You can set a custom intensity per pool which would solve your problem if you're using a managed miner. If you're using a multi algo pool under a multi profit miner, you can set intensity per pool port which would give you a unique intensity per algorithm for CC miner.

You can also set intensity individually per card with cc miner.

I think the developer is doing a great job and it's the tone you use throughout this thread isn't helping you.

Hi, i've been using the miner and i have  some ideas about improving the graphical interface:

- when you search for awesome miner agents put a field in the wizard to enter the password, so you don't have to enter the password for each host - if you add lots of miner it is tiresome to modify each one.
- add a checkmark in miner properties to get the worker name from the description, so you don't have to always check "add to worker name" and type the worker for each miner
- make a "clone" button for the managed hosts section
- make the hw errors text color in webserver red so it pops out and see it better
- make a button to map all the selected miner gpus to system monitoring
- maybe add a tooltip so when you hover with the mouse above the miner after 2 you can see the  details ( command line arguments and configuration )
- in the right click menu add an option to rdp ( remote desktop ) to the miner
- important - add an option to remove all income/revenue data in the dashboard  from the view only / control view user roles

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.

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)...

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

A bug when miner gets disconnected from the pool.

Sometimes when pools have too many connections they disable new connections for a period of time to 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 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 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, 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.


Did anyone tried to find a solution to this problem ?

Any solution for the issue from above ?
