Hello Patrike,
I noticed something a little annoying regarding coins statistics. If i set AM to use 24h average statistics to decide what to mine, then the price of coins displayed in the bottom bar change to an average price on the last 24h too.
Would it be possible to have the coins listed in bottom bar to always list the current price even if i use 24h average for profit switching ?
That's a good point. This will consider making this change.

"The system cannot find the file specified" is a common issue related to security software removing the downloaded mining software.

This is one of the items in the Troubleshooting GPU Mining guide:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/troubleshooting-gpu.aspx

The solution is most likely to configure Windows Defender or other security software for this:

Try double check windows defender settings, make sure you add AwesomeMiner folders in %appdata% (I did for both Local and Roaming) as exclusions. most likely Windows removed the downloaded files or prevented AM from downloading the miner software.

I am interested in the custom C# scripting features as well, but it's unclear from the documentation how to do this. I've search for resources or examples beyond the AM docs on how to create and implement the scripts. Any help is appreciated. Maybe we could even start a Git project to house some useful scripts with docs on how to use. I'm interested in creating some custom logging of mining activities and events.

How do we run the c# scripts? Should we put them in a specific directory to be interpreted by awesome miner or should we develop an executable using those interfaces? If second option, which dll's should we reference?

Ok, I solved it by adding reference to am executable.
Were you actually able to get that to work? I was not successful.

Yes, just add a reference to AwesomeMiner.exe and import required namespaces like "AwesomeMiner.Infrastructure.Contracts.Miner" and "AwesomeMiner.Components.Intelligence.Scripting".
But apart from that it didn't fulfill my expectations because the interface does not contain methods like creating a new pool.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I'm finding I cannot create new or update custom coins via the API which is extremely frustrating and disappointing.
I have clarified this on the web site now.
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/script.aspx

Please let me know what specific information you want me to clarify or improve in addition to this.


The scripts are only intended to be executed as part of an Awesome Miner Rule, where Triggers or Actions are used. The scripts cannot be used from an external application or be developed in Visual Studio. To integrate with Awesome Miner from external applications, the Awesome Miner HTTP API should be used.

To start using the script feature, go to the Options dialog, Rules section and create a new user defined rule. A C# script can be added as either a Trigger or an Action.

A C# script for a Trigger can return a list of miners to signal that it has triggered for those miners. The complete list of miners is passed in to the Trigger as an input parameter. Return null to not trigger.

A C# script for an Action has a list miners passed in as an input parameter. The action is intended to be executed for this list of miners.

ok so just read the path in the diag output.

did a copy/paste from a machine that was working to the broken machine... BAM!  works now.

WTF!   AM should have tried to redownload the app, maybe its a bug?  idk either way  thanks for pointing me to the diag file which helped solve the issue!
Even if you resolved the problem already, I will still give an answer in case you or someone else run into a similar issue in the future.

"The system cannot find the file specified" is almost always an indication that Awesome Miner did download the mining software, but when it's about to get started, your security software already removed the mining software. That's why the file for the mining software cannot be found.

Awesome Miner will automatically try to download it every time you try to start the miner if the file is missing - but if it keeps getting removed it will not work.

I've quite recently added this Troubleshooting GPU Mining guide on the web site, that will help with the most common issues that the Diagnostics might indicate:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/troubleshooting-gpu.aspx

Although you already tried with disabling Windows Defender, sometime it activates itself again and simply continue blocking. I also have a guide on the web site how to configure exclusions in Windows Defender to solve this:

Although you are correct that the e-mail address can be found on the about page, there is an easier way to find it  Wink

Wanting to know if there is an API call or script that will return the data displayed in the "online Services" tab.

Is this stored in AM, or is it just displaying multiple API calls out to those pools?


Either way, I'd love to automated the reading of this list to control some switching on external miners.
There is no API method for that today.

The External Profit Switcher already uses the information from the Online Services tab as input to setting pool priority:

Is there a way to setup awesomeminer to exclude some coins from mining on pools with auto switch ? I have a rig with nvidia 1060 x3 and one 970 card, so 970 is kinda sucks with ETH and ETC mining, it gives only 7MH/s instead of 24MH/s but it's good with young ether forks. So now i have to completely disable ethereum algo from mining for this rig because if Ethereum is most profitable coin for now then my rig working on it only with 70MH/s instead of 90MH/s.

So how to disable 2 specific coins for that rig ?



You can't exclude specific coins out of the box, because that's not how pools like Zpool work.  You can exclude whole algorithms though.  You can uncheck the Ethash algorithm from your profit profile, then it will not switch to that at all.

Now, there is a way to exclude specific coins, but you have to manually setup each individual coin's pool URL and port in individual stand alone pools, then bunch them together in a pool group... then tell AM to use the custom pool group to profit switch against.  It's a little bit of work to setup the individual coins as individual pools... which is why sites like Zpool make it easier to just mine the algorithm... and AM just leverages this auto-switching ability.

I guess could make this a feature suggestion/request to Patrike such that in the future you could be able to specify for individual miners which Online Services/Custom Pools it uses, with a check/uncheck all button. Since right now the Online Services applies to all miners...that essentially is specifying individual pools manually, but even then, we cannot yet (I can't find it) pick individual pools for Managed Profit Miners.

My plan is to implement support for this scenario by allowing configuration of this per Profit profile. For example to add custom pools per profile and to disable a specific predefined pool per profile.

I upgraded to Premium to get logging and Afterburner integration. However, now I am finding out that I can not use profiles as needed. It lets me set a profile for each GPU on a rig, but not a group of GPU's.

What I want is the ability to set each GPU to their profile setting 1 for certain coins and profile setting 5 for others (etc). I already have them configured on each machine, but want AM to switch the settings when the coin switches. Can someone point me to information on how to do what I need it to do if possible?

Thank you.
I do know that the GPU clocking profile configuration can be made flexible for scenarios where different GPU types are used, and I have this on my todo-list.

You can set GPU clocking profile per algorithm if you right click on a Managed Profit Miner and select Edit Profit Profile. It will be applied when the profit switcher is doing its work.

Does anyone here run Awesome Miner interface directly on their rigs? Are there any concerns with doing that? I would like to get it off my primary PC since I like to put it to sleep while at work but I also need the ability to access the interface remotely. I might just go with the cloud route eventually but for now just wondering if there are any potential issues running the interface along with the client.

Additionally, is there a process outlined for migrated Awesome Miner itself to another system while retaining all configuration/benchmarks? I saw the message on Export that stated it's not meant as a backup.
The drawback is if the rig is hanging, Awesome Miner may not be able to alert you about that issue if it's running on the same computer. Even with Cloud Services, you still need Awesome Miner running somewhere all the time to push data to the cloud.

Awesome Miner stores all configuration in the file ConfigData.xml located in the folder %appdata%\AwesomeMiner. To copy the configuration from one computer to another, make sure that Awesome Miner isn't running and copy the file ConfigData.xml to the other computer.

Hi guys,
Another new Awesome Miner user here, first of all, thanks Patrike for your software!
Got my rig up and running, no problem there, just a question about the ‘balance’ tab, i cant find any info or example to fill in.
I understand that i need to insert a wallet address (duh) but what is used as ‘label’?
My Litecoin address works good, but not my Ethereum and Bitcoin, it shows update failed.
Any help is much appreciated,
Regards from The Netherlands Grin
Welcome and thanks for your nice feedback.

Label is just a description (maybe I should change name of it) that can be anything. It's useful if you have several addresses and want to remember what they are used for.

Are you using the default Block Explorer API's that are pre-filled in? That should work for Bitcoin and Ethereum unless your Awesome Miner version is too old. If you have any specific address work, you could send it to me via mail or PM and I can take a look. Thanks!

Can we get an upgrade to ccminer 2.2.4 in the next version? It yields a 4-5MH/s increase on my 1080ti. I manually replaced the binary for now but am not sure how to do that for the remote service systems.
The next release will include Ccminer 2.2.4.
