Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 431. (Read 703512 times)

Hi,

are you using profit miner or managed miner? If you are using profit miner and have compatible API/Command Line miner where it shows up in the Profit Profile of your configured Profit Miner, it should be easy. (apologies, I have not experimented with SW without the API and CMD compatibility but supposedly a good fiddle around should get that working too)

So assuming the conditions meet, in the above, you need to enable the Ethereum algorithm for both softwares in Options -> Managed Softwares

Then you need to enable both softwares in Profit Profile in Mining software section.

Next You use the up and down arrow to order the priority of the mining software, put your Eth Only software on top of Claymore Dual, and you should be good to go.

AM should now mine exclusive Eth only with your Eth Only software, and still do Dual Mining with Claymore.

***
If you use Managed Miner instead of Profit Miner, you should utilize the Templates feature to achieve the above.

hi,
im getting this issue im not able to mine..
[2018-01-30 10:39:17] API open locally in full access mode on port 4068
[2018-01-30 10:39:47] ...retry after 30 seconds

i can only mine equahash but when neoscript or ccminer comes i see this msg,
please help me...

It looks like it's not possible to use one mining software for the eth dual algos and another for single ethereum. If I disable "Ethereum" for the standard Claymore miner and enable it for another, it always uses the same one for all algos.

Exactly.  There are tons of different strategies out there.  For me, I usually mine a few speculation coins for a week, then "profitable" coins for about 2 weeks, then finally my favorite coins for a week.  I like to diversify my strategies.

When coins are on a downswing in exchange rate, the difficulty usually follows.  For me, that's when I mine some of those "profitable" coins.  If it's not a total crap coin, it will eventually go back up.  If not, then I cut bait and find another one.

If you dig around enough and hold,  you'll find some winners.  If you sell them all for "profit" as soon as you mine them, you could be dumping what could be a winner later on.  Speculation coins are fun, you never know how they turn out, and you can typically get a giant pile of them in no time.

So you just keep the coins or trade/shift them yourself through cryptopia or what not?
I think I follow you now
Thanks

for a moment didn't catch this sentence in the quotes lol, in addition to Puwaha's explaination:

A Pool Group in AM is something you setup under Options -> Pools, where you define individual pools which has profit information from Whattomine (default) or Coinwarz and can be used with all your miners, External, Managed and Managed Profit. To use them for Managed Profit Miner when you have many, many individual pools setup already, you need to create a pool group under Options -> Pools -> Pool Groups tab. These pools don't have to came from the same pool owners, they can be from Suprnova, Nanopool to any available pools out there really.

MPH, Yiimp based pools are Multipools, they are like...Groups of Pools...rather than Pool Groups, they run their own metrics within multiple algos (and many coins within some algos) that they provide and gauge the profit within their own pools. They have their own switching rules even if you don't use AM, MPM or the likes, some switches between algos, some only between coins of the same algo (Yiimp) and MPH kind of does both to a certain extent.

what AM does is that it combines both Multipools' and non-Multipools' metrics and allows profit switching between pool providers so you get a lot more flexibility but also have your hashrate and earnings more scattered which can be more of a negative impact for casual low hashrate miners since payout threshold then would take longer to achieve.

Hope this doesn't make it more confusing.

If the pool mines a coin that doesn't come out of the box in AM, you go to the Coins & Profit tab in the options and define a new user defined coin.  Then on the Statistics tab, you can add the coin's JSON URL from Whattomine (if it exists) to help AM glean information about this coin.

A pool group is a set of pools.  They can consist of different algos, or a bunch of pools for one coin (or both)... that part is up to you.   Online Services MPH and Zpool is a single pool with multiple algos/coins.

With a pool group, you can setup your own pseudo-online service, and use profit switching based on the Coins tab... which is whattomine's data.  Whereas with an Online Service, you will use their data.

For me, I have pool groups with maybe the top 5 coins that I really like to mine.  On another pool group I will have a bunch of pools that mine the same coin.  Some of the pools I mine to are dodgy, so if they are offline, AM will go to the next one.

I understand how to add a custom coin profile, however when you set the btc/gh rate its just static. A lot of yiimp style pools have the API to read the 24hr actual, is there anyway to allow that to update from an API pull on a custom pool?

If I do any profit switching, I'm typically doing a pool group, not online services like zpool, MPH, etc.  Online services switch too much for my tastes.

Now, for a service being down, there are rule actions like Miner command.  This has options like "Change pool", or "Change Pool Group" that might help you.  There's also a rule action to apply template.  I would have a good reliable pool to mine a single coin as a template ready to go, or do the Change Pool or Pool Group action setup on all your miners as a fall back.  It's better to mine a good reliable coin for a few hours until you get a chance to check out the problem with the Online Service than to have your miner sitting idle.



AM's whole point is to try to keep your rigs doing what they do best... mining.  You can get really complex with your automation, or keep it simple.  That part is up to you.

If your mining software stalls or crashes, your should troubleshoot why that is happening.  Maybe the mining software is buggy, you might have driver issues, a bad riser, or power supply issues?  Trying to force AM to compensate for these problems will always have you going down a rabbit hole of trying to resolve edge cases.

In theory, yes.  This is what some Nicehash renters do, they will swoop in before a block ends and after a block begins with a lot of rented hashrate to build up a large amount of shares and then move on.  On smaller to medium size pools they take a good portion of shares and thus a good portion of the block rewards, especially if the pool is lucky.

You are correct.  Yiimp style pools like zpool or ahashpool provide 24hr actual in their APIs.

Why in the world would you put your miner in a DMZ?  If you absolutely have to do this, it uses port 9630 by default.

I forgot to add some pools will let you mine direct with a Address for that coin...  like nicehash or the way you want to . you would have to read the online help for that pool, nicehash works both way with a account or with out one but nicehash only pays in BTC. I did read some place nice hash is looking at other payouts after what two years , I'm not sure what they meant exactly .

Nice hash it just a example

and like moppidoo said make two MPH accounts it's a little more work but that will work .

With Awesome Miner running on the secure subnet and the Remote Agent running on the mining computer on the DMZ subnet what ports need to be opened for communications between the Remote Agent and Awesome Miner?

The way I understand is this, the Yiimp (Ahash,zpool,Hashrefinery predefined, many others not integrated goes through Whattomine to determine profitability if you want to set it up) pools have their own API's, same as MPH who have its own API.

1. AM pulls metrics from these predefined online services API at intervals you set in Options -> Statistics and convert the api's reported BTC/HashRate/Day per Current/24 hour average (depending on your selection) according to Coinbase/Bitstamp (depending on your selection) into basically Fiat/Day (as per your settings in Options -> Coins & Profit -> Currency).

2. Then it list them in the table in the Online Services Tab and displays Revenue/Profit (this is depending on your rig's hashrate, thus important that you benchmark and input the actual hashrate of each rig on their own Profit Profile) there for your reference, it will select the most profit/day for your rig (for how it is determined over each API update interval, right click miner -> View Details -> Profit Switching Tab)

3. From there, AM has all the information it need to determine profit switching, it then decides whether to switch depending on your settings in Options -> Profit Switching (Switching Interval, Switch Threshold), note power cost is taken into consideration and AM determines Profit/Day rather than Revenue/Day where user input in both Power cost AND Profit Profiles are available, thus for best profit guestimation and where power cost plays big factor, it is best you also have them filled in in each rig's Profit Profile.


In short though
  -> AM fetches pools profitability API
  -> AM choose most profitable with what's fed through API
  -> AM point miners at pool's algo deemed most profitable during switching interval
  -> Pool chooses coins to mine within that algo
  -> pool exchanges rewarded coins mined sometimes later when coins are sold on exchanges (hours, days and even weeks delay)
  -> Pool credits your account/wallet for accumulated coins
  -> Pool pays to your wallet on their payout schedule provided your have accumulated the minimum payout threshold as defined per pool (MPH can be set to auto-payout or manual payout on demand as opposed to Yiimp pools)

just to clarify, you should have no problems mining the rigs to different accounts in MPH (one for you, one for your brother)

in AM you set up the miners and override the online service pools by Right Click miner -> Properties -> Override pool settings

check the boxes for the pools you want to override (you can also do that for custom pools, just use that for 2 sets of custom pool groups) and for example MPH, you'd put in the Worker name field in the format: MyOwnMiner.Worker1 for your rig, and MyBrotherMiner.Worker1 for your brother's rig...that will point one miner to the account MyOwnMiner, and one miner to account MyBrotherMiner...and so on where you set different worker names (Worker2, Worker3....etc) for other rigs/miners.

This works the same for other online services except you put actual address in the respective fields.

I'm not sure if you can assign different wallets per each worker though...

You can globally set auto-exchange currency and wallets for each currency. I think all of your rig earnings will end up getting converted into the same auto-exchange currency then deposited into the same wallet.

I don't think you want to assign different algorithms/coins per each rig, do you? Rig earnings won't get mixed this way, but probably this is not what you want...

after creating an account you need to create workers on the mph site... those name you'll be using when configuring your individual rigs in AM
