Does anyone know why ccminer alexis is showing Gpu0 invalid argument when ccminer 2.2.3 works fine for Nist5?  I'd rather use the alexis version as its much faster.  It works fine in multipool miner.

I REALLY need some way to automatically update custom coins..

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 ?

any way to add time to dstm miner i feel like im missing where to put --time

That's odd.  What is your benched hashrate for Ethash vs. Equihash for those 1070s?  I just ran another benchmark for my 1070 rig and I have 21 Mh/s for Ethash, and 412 sols/s on Equihash.  Now, granted, I have my 1070 rig's power limit and underclock tuned for low-wattage Equihash, but there's no way those  numbers would make AM switch to Ethash.

It depends on how you gauge performance and what you want to do with the mined coins. All built in profit switching pools in AM allows you to get paid in several coins in general (except NiceHack), the way profit is calculated is to remove the speculation factor about potential future boom or crash of the coins' prices. They are gauged in how much FIAT/Hashrate or BTC/Hashrate after pulling data from the pool's api or WhatToMine. In your case, having simething like 1070 (which I don't have benchmark readily) probably yield you 30 / 300 MH/s dual Eth/Sia. Putting those figures into WhatToMine and with what MiningPoolHub's offered pools, you are still worse off than mining Equihash at 400 sol/s with current hashrate yield data. Even if you upped DCRI from 30 to 40, say 500MHS Sia and 27MHs Eth....or even 30 MHs Eth...you are still behind ZCL's current pay on MPH. Of course, you can look at other pools and mine accordingly...for example, ETP has best pay and it is using Ethhash thus in theory you can get better result still by dual mining...But MPH don't offer ETP.

Otherwise, assuming you have saved your benchmark results after benchmarking, then by looking at Online Services tab, you see Equihash has way higher $/day...NeoScrypt comes after and Skein (likely DGB that spikes every so often)...that's how AM uses the data returned by pool's API to determine profitabilty.

With AM, if you so want to mine dagger/sia, just disable other algos in the online services and force put in commandline DCRI value (one of them works, either in the miner's or profit profile's individual software CLI options) try fiddle with them and check the command being generated using RMB on the miners.

Or just let AM decide and mine the current most profitable coin (in coin/FIAT  or coin/BTC pairs) and auto exchange everything into Ethereum on MPH essentially same as selling  coins -> FIAT -> ETH

Other than that, like puwaha said, there are even more favourable algos if you say mining X17, Nist5..even Phi1612 currently returns much higher even than Equihash on MPH if you want to explore mining via other Online Services / Pools

I want them mining what is currently most profitable on MPH. Looking at the View Details > Profit Switching tab showed Eth (incld. Blake 2b) as most profitable when it was switched to it. 90% of the time they are doing Equihash / NeoScrypt / Skein from what I've seen over the last couple weeks. Ethereum surged in price recently though and took over during dips in the other algo coins which is why it became most profitable I assume?

Rigs are running 8x1070 GPUs and I'm not sure about your question about correctly benchmarking? It seems relatively straightforward. Tools > Benchmark > Precise benchmark with all Algorithm's selected. Is there something else I need to do?

Looks interesting! But  anyway we need some webhooks implementation in progress customization. I think it's great to have an ability to show some inbound JSON data from 3dparty applications in progress list. It can be power consumtion, for example or external temperature from additional sensors

I think the whole point of using something like AM is that it can automate some of these things for you.  You setup a rule with some trigger... like maybe a rig that hasn't increased it's Accepted rate in X minutes... so that would tend to mean that it's offline, then the action would be a webhook with some POST data to the IOT device that does some action.... like a power off and then power on?  Or if you have an executable file, you can have it run a batch script to run some program like:

devicesoftware.exe -poweroff -IP 192.168.0.X
TIMEOUT /t 5
devicesoftware.exe -poweron -IP 192.168.0.X

I'm just spit-balling some ideas here.

Patrike can speak to the exact reasons, but Claymore is a popular miner for Ethash, and has a very good API for AM to get statistics from.  You could always try to add Ethminer in as a custom user-defined miner and see if it performs as well as Claymore.

It's fine.  You should do some experiments to see what switching interval works well for you, or if just mining a single coin is better.  There are many schools of thought on this subject, and I've shared mine several times in this thread, so I won't bore anyone with it again.  



Interface offline just means that the remote agent hasn't responded in the last polling interval.  It's usually temporary.  Could be that your CPU on the rig was taxed.

I see it's possible to use webhooks with device with JSON API enabled, but this is for monitoring. How can i make a button, or an option in rightmouseclick menu for power off/on device via remote relay? Is it possible?

Do you really want your nvidia cards mining Eth or dual mining Eth/Sia?  I can't see how that would ever be profitable compared to the dozens of other algorithms that nvidia cards are better at.  You might just want to disable those algos so they don't switch to it.  Are you sure you benchmarked your cards correctly?  What kind of rigs are you running?

There's no native support for MQTT, but you could construct some interface for AM to use.  When it comes to rules actions, you have a few options like a custom C# action, email, SMS, telegram, executable, SSH, or webhook.  You might be able to piece something together from an If This Then That website with the webhook option.

Is there some reason why Ethminer is not included in AM? Or is it just not as good as Claymore for Ether?

Hi All

New to mining and been using Awesome Miner for nearly a week and I really like it. I have it set for profit switching against Zpool and MPH so at times I see it switching between the two pools every half hour. Is this the best way to set up Awesome miner for profit switching? I don't want to cause any problems for the pools or other miners, is it better to just stick with one?

Also, the software has been stable until today when I added a 5th GPU where I have now had "interface offline" messages a couple of times. I stopped and started the miner and it worked again is there anything in the software i need to be aware of or tweak for stability? The rig has all GTX1060 6GB's, overclocking is applied through Afterburner.

Many thanks

I should have clarified this is with Managed Profit Miners that have been fully benchmarked and had their profit profiles customized accordingly. AM has been switching to Eth/Sia dual mining multiple times on my 2 Nvidia rigs over the last couple of days from its standard Equihash/Neoscrypt/Skein algos based on the profitability bouncing. With a Managed Profit Miner where do I adjust the dcri value since Pools don't appear to apply to MP miners? I could add it to the Command Line params but as you said that would apply even when it switches to Ethereum solo mining which it has done a couple times as well.

Guys, is there some way to integrate MQTT devices in AM? We have some MQTT powered SONOFF POW switches for power control and rigs monitoring, it would be great if we have power consumption information in progress list and a buttons  "Power on"/"Power off"

Device Profiles are really only if you are using SGminer.  So, you don't need it.  But in your profit profile, you can add the DCRI value in the command line parameters, or preferably, I would put it in the secondary pool's command line parameters, so that it only applies when you are mining dual coins with claymore.

By the way... it seems you have nvidia GPUs... they are not very good at dual mining with ethereum, or even that good at mining with ethereum at all.  There are much more profitable algorithms that nvidia do much better like equihash, neoscrypt, xevan, lyra2z, nist5 and more.

I'm having an issue using a Nvidia Device Profile to set the DCRI value to 40. I think I've done everything needed but it's not applying the value from what I see when dual mining with Claymore. Please let me know if I am missing something?
