Error with lyra2z config mining via profit switching for miningpoolhub.

On default the generated URL is stratum+tcp://lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17025

It's not adding the region part ie. making it stratum+tcp://europe.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17025

I had to manually edit the lyra2z algorithm url part from lyra2z-hub to europe.lyra2z-hub for it to work

A correction for this will soon be released.

Balance doesn't seem to work for zcash.  I have tried configuring with various blockexplorers and the addresses work on the web but not in AM.  Would be nice if this was fixed.
It works when using this Block Explorer URL, which is the default since a number of releases back:
https://api.zcha.in/v2/mainnet/accounts/[address]

However, if you have an older entry you may have to update it to use the above.

I've seen a bug multiple times where the Console view will flash between the currently selected miner and the previously selected one.
Please send me log file and indicate the time of the issue and also which mining software that was supposed to be launched.

Hi all,

Is there a way to include xmr-stak 2.x in profit mining ?
I'm using an old GTX 480 to mine CryptoNight altcoins (275H/s 80W) and xmr-stak is the only GPU miner accepting this GPU so far.

I managed to add it as an external miner but I only get stats ...
For example can I add multiple user managed softawares to call a dedicated coin .bat (this .bat replace config.txt and launch xmr-stak)

TIA
Right now XMR-Stak is only supported as an External Miner (although I think some users added it as Managed Software and included and use it as a Managed Miner anyway).
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/managedsoftware.aspx

The reason is that XMR-Stak requires some manual configuration and has a little more complex setup. This is the reason why I've not made it a Managed Miner or included in the profit switcher by default, because then I would have a full time job answering questions on how to get it up and running.

This is my third time asking for assistance, any help is appreciated...

When I run a benchmark, none of my results are saved.  It used to save the results about 3 or 4 versions ago normally, but now it doesn't.  I have ensured that I have the proper profile selected and benchmarks checked, and I click "Save to Profile" and the "Configured Hardware" column updates with the values that were received during the benchmark....but when I close the benchmark and examine the profile in the options dialogue none of the benchmark results were actually saved.

I can run the benchmark, record the results manually, and edit the values in the profile under the options dialogue, so I'm not entirely sure why my results aren't saving.  I can provide logs, but I don't really see any errors - but I also don't know what I'm looking for.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and this is occurring on two systems now and I'm entirely unsure why.

Also - I threw this in initially a while back, but I don't think anyone saw it (or maybe no one cared? does anyone else think this would be useful?), but I would really like a "sustained" benchmark option so that I can selectively run an algorithm until I decide to stop it.  I want to be able to get up and check my watt meter during the benchmark, but I don't really have a way to look at both at the same time - especially if i'm doing a remote benchmark on a headless unit.  It would also be nice if I could edit wattage values in the benchmark section.
I've identified a problem with Benchmark save. I will release version 4.3.1 soon with a correction for this.

@AwesomeMiner -

Why is it that your BTC/GH/Day numbers for MiningPoolHub are always wrong / late / wildly-inaccurate?  I'm looking at the MPH homepage and the numbers shown there bear zero resemblance to what's in your program right now.

In comparison, your numbers for ZPool.CA are spot-on, always.
Some of the numbers on MPH website are normalized for AMD and nVidia, please don't look at those. Also, please see this guide about how to configure Awesome Miner for 24 average profit statistics:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinstats.aspx

This will probably make the numbers in Awesome Miner look more similar to what MPH list.

Anyone else having this issue?


Zpool gets DDOSed a lot.  Or they could be having an issue with that particular pool.  It happened to me on MPH from time to time.
That's correct. I just verified and today it works fine with Zpool Tribus.

Double click on mining software to configure please Smiley

Happy New Year AM Team, keep up the Awesome Job you are doing !!
In the latest releases you can double click on a miner to open Properties. Or was it another feature you were looking for?

Hello. I recently purchased Awesome Miner license and also the cloud services. I recieved the confirmation emails, succesfully registered the software and all went well. Then, I tried to create the cloud service account and it will not allow me to log in. The website always tells me I have the wrong password. I have tried password recovery but never get an email. I also emailed support, but have not heard back. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just stuck to wait longer? Thanks.
Hi,

I answer the almost all e-mail messages within 24-48 hours. I might have answered you already, but if not, please make sure you sign up for a Cloud subscription first. Please follow these three steps (it's common to miss step #1):

Same profit switching issue as well. I noticed under the View Details tab the profitable coin that it's not mining has disappeared yet under the same Profit Profile/Online Services the algo/coin that is most profitable still appears.

Re-adding and restarting seems to fix it temporarily but after a few minutes it disappears and switches to a less profitable option.

Hopefully this helps in debugging the issue.
I've identified some scenarios where the Profit Profiles didn't fully work as expected. Once v4.3 is made available, can you please try again?

I've noticed a few similar posts about the profit switcher as well. So once you are on version 4.3 and if you run into any issues again, please send me an e-mail with the following details:
1) A screenshot of the View Details dialog showing the Profit switching information
2) Information about which coin is being mined and if that is what was expected or not
3) Log files both for Awesome Miner and from the Remote Agent (if used)
4) The exact time when it happend

Version 4.3 will be relesed within the next 8 - 10 hours. Many thanks!

Upgraded my small test rig and noticed that it switched to Skein and dropped my profit from $6 per day with Equihash to $0.000016 with Skein. It appears that sgminer-5.6.1-nicehash-51-windows is being executed for Skein and for some reason that miner is trying to using the onboard Intel video instead of the 2 RX 5xx series AMD cards this small rig has.

According to profit details though Skein is more profitable than Equihash right now so the problem doesn't appear to be with Profit Switching but maybe the miner app or how the miner is being executed through AM?

3) Log files both for Awesome Miner and from the Remote Agent (if used) >>>>>> Google Drive link below

First of all, your sgminer output indicates that it uses your Intel onboard GPU. To correct that:
Right click on the miner and select "Edit Profit profile". Select Sgminer in the list of mining software and click Configure. Add the following in the Command Line section:
--gpu-platform 1

You screenshot shows that Skein is most profitable, and Skein is what is being mined. However, your actual hashrate is very low so you are not getting the profit according to your profile - and it's what your profile defines that is used by the profit switcher. If you either benchmark or manually update your Profit profile with the correct hashrate for Skein, the profit switcher will no longer favor it as much.

i dont understand one thing, here is my screenshot of details about algo switch   https://i.imgur.com/3Ge0cJi.png , but it keeps jumping from x17 to blake2s (that is almost end of the list), and sometimes it includes neo and equihash to the mix. As far as i understand, it should change from x17 to c11 and back, am i right? if so, what is the issue?

If you go to the options, what services do you have enabled under Profit Switching?  If it's only Zpool, do you have C11 enabled in your Profit Switching Profile, in Algorithms, and as an entry for Zpool under Online Services?

i have zpool, minihpooluhb and nicehash enabled, all algos are enabled. In options i have profit switch thereshold, enable managed profit switching, select btc payout and make predefined pools available everywhere ticked.

What is the makeup of the rig you are trying to benchmark?  Does it have all the same types of cards?  (e.g all 1070s)  Are you giving the benchmarked profile a new name?  Are you benching a single card, or trying to do each one individually?

TLDR first: Various Rigs.  Single Vega 64 for now. Clone of AMD Default. Single Card Benchmark /w both Single Algo & Entire Series Algo tests.

Various rigs in various configurations, always a single GPU under a cloned profile of either the AMD or Nvidia default profile (so I don't mess up other profiles).  Specifically, the one I'm trying to do the past few days is a Vega 64 card in both a local and remote configuration on a windows 10 pro system, both pretty much configured minimal.  I've even reformatted once on the test machine (and switched mobos in the process), but I don't want to do it on the one I actually have dedicated to monitoring my other systems.  But, as I mentioned before, I can switch one of my Nvidia remotes from my dedicated monitoring system to the test bench remote and it does the same thing (I don't have a spare Nvidia card to actually toss in the test unit atm). Doesn't matter if I'm doing a single algo bench or an entire series of algo's.


If you were to only select one algo to benchmark, run it... can you save it to the profile?

My antivirus (AVG) keeps blocking it...

You need to make the exceptions in your Antivirus for the mining software folder on your rigs.  Here's a guide for Windows Defender.  You just need to do the same for AVG on the same folder.

i find cracked version of this program, maybe someone want try it

Seriously... not cool.  Patrike makes a free version available to test to see if it fits your needs.  I've reported the post to the moderator.

Following the recent update, Awesome Miner now has new algorithm added like x17.  If you did so prior to the upgrade, you will need to delete these algorithm and perform benchmark again.  Otherwise there is a conflict.  I did so and everything work as expected.

Hope this help.

If I understand this well, when I am looking at online service and AHashPool is reporting way higher profitability for X17 then ZPool, in reality there is no reason for this to be true right?  This just means that the "luck" factor in the past 24 hours was favoring AHashPool.  Do I get this right?

Thanks for your help.
