Hello all, first time posting here so I hope I have all the correct information.   I've got one machine running AM and I've connected another for testing purposes before I add anything else or make the purchase to manage more than two rigs, GPU mining only (for now).

 I'm using Mining Pool Hub for my pools but rather than let MPH manage what I mine, I've added the individual coin pools into AM and setup my own pool groups for machine A.  Works fine, matching the worker name, etc in settings to MPH.  First of all, is this good practice to add the specific pool for each coin and then use the multi-algo switching configured in AM?   Or should I just use the multi-algo port MPH has configured and let it ride on that without messing with AM Auto-Switching?

Moving on, as I said the first machine is working great, but when I add the second machine and try to setup the multi-algo switching I cannot get it to work.  Adding the pools the same way as on machine A, I can only mine to Pool 0: (whatever pool is entered).  The other Pools show this "(Multiple pools matching) and never switch to any other pool than Pool 0.  HELP Please!

Thanks in Advance

This sounds like an awesome idea, but I'm confushed as to where you have the profile disable the GPUs?  i looked at adding a profit profile and nowhere does it let you specify the gpu to use.

not through the GUI you cannot, you have to parse that through the command line parameter and probably best to do that with each software unless you are only using 1 software exclusively or all software you use share same --device flag through the command line. (In which case you can just parse that through the managed miner itself, right click miner -> Properties, Command Line and enter the appropriate parameter through the text field)




So once you have a miner assigned to a profile, right click on miner and select "Edit Profit Profile".
Go to each enabled software and click the Configure button, make sure you read each software's usage, they may be using different flags and arguments for the settings
th Command line parameters to mining software txt box is where you parse custom commands, for example in the picture, I set a different Intensity through the -I flag for lower end hardware.



The command line references for the common software you'd likely be using can be found in case you are not familiar at using windows CMD to trigger the help screen:

I'm not sure how that would help in my case as I want all 3 running.  I just want the 950 using ccminer and the others using Alexis depending on the algorithm

Hi guys, I'm in the process of switching over to Awesomeminer and doing some testing with the free version on one of my rigs. The rig has 5 nvidia gpu's and 1 amd gpu.

When I start mining I disable all of the nvidia gpu's and mine only on the amd gpu, however, in the last 30 minutes or so Awesomeminer has stopped mining for a few seconds and restarted again. The problem is when it restarts mining it enables all of the nvidia gpu's again. Is there a way to prevent it from enabling all of the disabled gpu's? Thanks.

Just setup my rig with 3 graphics cards.  2 1060 and a 950.  The 950 will not run on a few algorithms.  Is there no way to say don't run this card on that algorithm and just have it run on the most profitable algorithm?  Otherwise I have to eliminate an algorithm or 2 and others I have to run on CCminer instead of Alexis and there is a huge difference in speed.  I tried to setup one miner for the 2 gtx 1060 and another miner for the GTX 950 but that didn't seem to work.

did you guys tried the -d flag to select your devices for the miner?

if you are using multiple softwares in your profit profile, you need to parse the command line in each of the enabled software in your profit profile depend on the software

You can setup 2 Profit Profiles and 2 Miners which you already attempted, just have the profile disable the GPUs that you are not using and assign the correct profile to the miners you setup. customize the software most efficient for your GFx card and benchmark to get the profit switching estimate then let the miners run.

Just tested this out on my 6xGTX 1070 rig, for some reason its only putting around 50-70% load on my GPUs :/
Anyone knows why this happens?
Tried on my normal desktop and got same results.
 

Does that happen with all algo/software? AM only launch/monitors your miners so it's the software that's running that is of concern, only thing that can go wrong is the launch command by AM being parsed to the mining software.

if you right click on your miner while it's mining and choose details, it shows the launch command in the Process Information tab

So the problem with antivirus is solved, I just had to turn off whole antivirus to let AwesomeMiner download necessary files and now it runs without any problems.

But there is another problem - my "daily profit" has fallen down to almost half value, than I had 2 weeks ago. On GPU 1060 6G+ I had between $4-6 / day, now I have around $2-2.5... Anyone with the same problem here?

Thanks!

What has the price of the coin done over the same period of time? Has your reported hash rate changed from the last install to now?

To be honest, I don't remember exact hash rate before reinstall.. But the coin price should be almost the same, it mines many coins (using miningpoolhub and there appears: Skein, Vertcoin, ZCash, ZClassic, ZenCash, Bitcoin-Gold, Monacoin, etc...)
So could you please give me maybe an advice, if there is some, what should be the best configuration?

Thank you!

I guess first of all you need to make sure your GPU is hashing at the rate that's on par with all other GTX1060s, then make sure you aren't getting rejected shares. Obviously you want to do some overclock to get the most out of your mining.

a rough range you should expect for the algos you seem to mine above is below:
Equihash  > 300 sol/s
cryptonight > 500 H/s
Eth - 22~24 MH/s
lyra2rev2 ~ 24 MH/s
Nist ~ 30 MH/s
NeoScrypt ~ 650 kH/s
Skein ~ 240 MH/s
Myr-gr > 40 MH/s

and so on...for GTX 1060, start off Core/Mem/Power with +100/+400/75%....most cards are willing to take it...then depend on your cards' make, you can adjust to get a stable yet efficient hashrate.

Anyone knows why this happens?
Tried on my normal desktop and got same results.
 

I am a noob but I think some coins are memory intensive and some are gpu processor intensive.  So a memory heavy coin may show the load as less.  I may get corrected but that is what I think you are seeing.
No thats wrong.
The load is less then it should be because my hash rate is less then it should be.
If i for example run the same algo and the same pool using nemosminer or megaminer i get a 90-100% load and a LOT better hash rate.


Oh I see, I misunderstood your post.   I have nemos on mine and I am getting a similar rate on ahashpool with nemo and AM (nist5 and 4x1080's).  Could AM be setting a cmd line parameter or perhaps try re benchmarking one of the cards in the rig?

With the new Antminer A3 the api control is working, but somehow the accepted/rejected shares are not gotten at all, thus gives false notifications.

If I understand your request correctly, you simply want to close the Awesome Miner main application so you don't see it in the task bar but only as a system tray icon? Simply click the X-button in the upper right corner to close the main window. This will not exit the application - but leave it running in the background and be accessible via the System Tray icon. Was this the behavior you were looking for?

If you want each mining software console window to be hidden as well, you can configure this in the Properties of the miner, on the Environment tab where you can set the Console window mode.

Actually I would like the application to automatically start minimized to system tray when the user logs in to the account. I want to avoid my kids messing with Awesome Miner - they have been "trained" Smiley to ignore System Tray.

Wanted Behavior:
- User logs in;
- Startup applications load one after the other;
- Awesome Miner loads at startup but doesn't display any window, instead shows its icon in System Tray only.

Actual behavior:
- User logs in;
- Startup applications load one after the other;
- Awesome Miner loads at startup and shows main window, potentially allowing my kids to mess with it (click on stuff etc).

I was hoping for a startup switch (e.g. "/systray") which tells the application "start in system tray only".

Try wscript.exe https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee156605.aspx

Create a .vbs script and launcher
Code:
wscript.exe /B /NoLogo [path]/vbsyoucreate.vbs "your command here w/ options" 7

and run the launcher  in startup folder or task manager

might work

Patrike the HTTP API coin setting is wonderful, thank you very much. I am making extensive use of it.

As another line item, can you please add the ability to create new coins via the API as well? The plugins I'm writing/hope to be distributing sorely need it.

Something along the lines of:
POST http://mypc:17790/api/coins/NEW?longname=COIN_NAME&shortname=CNNME&algo=skein

Thank you!
