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

Looks like same problem here with not saving benchmarked results. When i go to main -> edit profit profile, most algoritms showing "custom" hash rate with right hash rate like in benchamarks, but some was showing default with "0 mh/s" and i had to manually input same values from benchmarks to this window. I have 4 same gxt1080 and benchmark only 1 card, not combined and i'm using default "nvidia gpu" profile and "save to profile" saves results to benchmarks window, but looks like some of them are not used even after saving (for example X17 wasnt saved + few more). Version 4.3 here, but i did benchmarks before with older version and saved them to profile and only now found where to check those rates after other peoples noted about this problem. Rebenchmarking with 4.3 and saving to profile still will not update some results in profit profile and after multiply tries just entered them manually. I'm only one who thinks that Awesome Miner have too complicated user interface for some basic features?

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is still going to Skein even though it is not the best.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with power usage?

If you right-click the profit miner, and click on View Details, you can see the numbers that AM is using to do any profit switching.

@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.

Happy New Year to Patrike and all Smiley

When trying to setup a new miner it would be very useful to be able to preview the command line, because if the miner exits instantly there is no time to read errors or use 'View Details'


You can always right click the miner and select Diagnostics to see the command line and any error messages before launching a new miner/pool/software, etc.

For profit per day that the miner shows, is that after power costs?  or where do I see after power costs?  I assume it shows that since its making us input power costs.

Yes, you can see this on the Coins or Online Services tab.  They show the Revenue (which is before power costs) and the Profit (which is after power costs) for each coin or algorithm respectively.  If you have your miners tab set to "list" from the appearance tab then AM will show the revenue and profit for each miner.  If you have it set to compressed list then it will only show the revenue.

The list view will also show you daily and monthly revenue/profit projections... though... those values should be taken with a grain of salt as we all know things change quickly in the mining world.

I think I see it now, problem is, with zpool and my card, it basically just wants to stay on nist5 all day when multipool miner would swap 20 times during the day.

What kind of rig are you running?  Did you benchmark one of the cards if they are all the same type?  What is the switching interval set to?  If you right-click the profit miner, and click on View Details, you can see the numbers that AM is using to do any profit switching.

You can see this info in the log file.  Actually what's in the log is more useful than the details as it also shows the executable path which in some cases can be the cause of the problem.

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?

Happy new year to all. Tried upgrading tonight to the new version, However says upgrading and after it restarts awesomeminer I am still on the old version with an update notification.
Tried downloading the msi and received a message saying that this is not a valid package for awesominer??

WD

I had this problem on one of my rigs. I had to find the Microsoft Uninstall entry in the registry for Awesome Miner and delete the entire registry key. Definitely backup your registry before trying it.

To backup launch regedit > File > Export > Export Range All > Name the file and click Save

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall > Expand and then click on the "keys" (folders) that start with something like "{03AC" and go through each one until you find the one with DisplayName of "Awesome Miner Remote Service". Delete the entire key folder. Mine was called {6582A3A0-070D-4F0D-8282-698E5F881FB4} but I believe those Key IDs are generated randomly. After I did that I could install the new version without issue.
