Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 481. (Read 703396 times)

Sometimes rigs just plain lock up or otherwise stop mining.  Most of the time this is detectable in AM.  I'd like to implement some kind of hardware-based physical cycling of power on a rig based on AM notifications/rules.  Does anyone have recommendations on what to use to achieve this?  I'm assuming AM is capable of this, even if it requires C# coding.  I haven't gotten that far yet.  The alternative is some kind of local heartbeat monitoring outside of AM.  This may make more sense anyway in case AM is down, etc.

Is this program compatible with the Pangolinminer Whatsminer M3? Has anyone tried? I checked the list
on the FAQ page, and it just says most miners. Being it's a new miner on the mining scene, I haven't seen
many facts about software compatibility.  I searched through recent posts, and couldn't find anything.
I'd really like to purchase this software for when I'm away at my day job.


If not allowed I'll remove. Thanx!!!

Is it possible to assign one of the miners to just mine off ONE algorithm?

For some reason, one of the rig I own doesn't perform well on Lyra2v2 but works fine on equihash. Even with the default setting, which is very strange.

And I am using the auto-switcher at the moment.

Thank you!

I'm hoping someone can clear this up for me.  I just noticed all my rigs stats reset to zero.  i.e. "accepted" and "rejected" reset to zero.  I'm mining zcash on miningpoolhub with DSTM which has been running non stop for days.  I double checked and the software definitely hasn't restarted.  Do the stats reset periodically?

Hello Patrike,

Below are some bug reports and some suggestions:

Bugs:

1) When you copy/paste an address into a field (Nicehash, Hashrefinery, Zpool, etc) it is possible to accidentally paste an invisible new line at the end of the address.
This new line will remain there screwing up your miner's launch and without you knowing why it is failing. Took me about 2 and half hours of debugging to find the culprit.
The program should sanitize that information and remove any non alphanumeric characters.

2) It is impossible to add some algorithms. I mean, you can add them and it seems like they are added but they never appear in the "Online Services" tab (the one with the Revenue/Profit list, not the one inside Options).

Try it yourself... attempt to add "yescrypt" and make it appear for Hashrefinery. I have tried on several computers and the program simply refuses to show it even after following all the steps, adding the algorithm, adding it to the mining software and then adding it to the pool in Online Services (the one inside Options).


Suggestions:

1) Create a rule capable of detecting the algorithm being launched.

2) Allow for "Factor" to be defined for custom pools just like we are able to do with the default ones.

3) The benchmarking tool needs some love. Instead of being forced to benchmark each card one by one, it should benchmark the whole lot together.
I know Nicehash used to do it individually (later improved in the legacy miner) but at least they would launch separate miners depending on the profitability of each card.
Right now your program is not designed to do anything like that, so I don't see any reason why benchmarking has to done one card at a time.
As an example, look at what MultipoolMiner does. Simple, efficient, grouped benchmark.

4) After the previous one, you would want to include several versions of the same miner software (like you do now with two versions of ccminer and sgminer).
Once the benchmarking is handled with all cards as a single group, it should do every algorithm with every compatible miner and keep the best performer.

5) Allow us to define different levels of "-dcri" for Claymore Ethminer. Right now this is impossible to do, even if you try to work around it by creating another algorithm with a new name.
Either allow us to add dual mining algorithms or modify the current one so it is capable of having several fields for several values of "-dcri".

Thanks for reading! Here's hoping to see the bugs squished soon.

Hi Patrike,

I have 1 request / suggestion to improve profit switching when using custom pool group.
Sometimes certain coins are difficult to mine more than its difficulty shows.  Recent case is Electroneum (ETN).
When you check profitability of Cryptonight algo in whattomine, it adjust estimated rewards down to real world level (they said it as "Pool negative luck") while AM still say ETN is most profitable.
My request / suggestion is, can you include "Profit factor" also for user defined pool, so that we can adjust profit switch less frequesnt ETN / mine more other coins.

If this can be done by already available functions, please let me know.

Would it be possible to add command line parameters as part of the Bulk Edit fields?  Doing this one-by-one is a bit tedious.

My profit-switching is not mining Equihash on MPH though that is often the most profitable. I have this log entry:

GetAllEnabledPools, couldn't find existing for: MiningPoolHub [Equihash], stratum+tcp://us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023, MiningPoolHub, Unspecified Equihash

• Equihash is enabled in Algorithms > Algorithm and Profit-Switching settings
• Equihash is enabled in Online Services for MiningPoolHub and Profit Switching
• Equihash is enabled for the Profit Profile I am using (nVidia GPU)

Can't figure out why/where the "GetAllEnabledPools, couldn't find existing..." is looking and what it doesn't like?

That's what I was mentioning. It's not about the algo, it's about the one coin in that algo. Let's say in Equilhash, u just want to mine Zencash, not zcash, how do u exclude zcash?

I've purchased the premium edition and set it to mining on my gtx 1070. Now, I've been mining in the zpool.ca site and I've noticed almost from minute one that the per day profits in awesome miner are always really high compared to what I've actually accumulated in the zpool. I'm seeing things from $4 to $9 per day and I'm earning around $1.80 per day.

I tried finding the answer before asking this but sorting through 171 pages in this thread made my eyes bleed, so I decided top ask.

Why does Awesome Miner not specify the coins that it is mining? I mean, if it's getting the coin info from Whattomine, and then launching the appropriate miner, why does it not also specify the coin being mined?  I'm having an issue with specifying the coin and the miner suddenly shutting down and switching to another algo, only to do the same thing once I specify that coin, according to Whattomine.  I'm hoping that it's simply a newby oversite, so if someone can explain or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Secondly, why does Awesome Miner not switch to the most profitable coin, again, according to Whattomine?  Currently, my Nvidia rigs want to mine Equihash (Unspecified of course), which according to Whattomine is the 5th most profitable coin (ZEN), way behind Monacoin.  I have my benchmarks set properly, which are very close to WTM, yet it chooses to mine $5.95 per day instead of $7.84.  I thought this was supposed to be "Profit" switching but it doesn't always follow that rule so I'm trying to figure out if it's something that I'm doing or haven't done, or if it's just the program.

If someone could take a few minutes to address these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.  I've been ruining this software on 6 rigs for about a week and love the concept but in terms of profitability, it doesn't appear to be working in my favor.

Thanks

I'm trying to add the latest version of Excavator, however it seems the command line parameters have changed slightly. Awesome Miner adds "-ca" which Excavator interprets as "load profile from" causing it to error out. It seems I can't customize the command line parameters, only add new ones?

EDIT: Looks like newer Excavator versions need major API changes as well.

i'd love to see native integration with ahashpool as one of the profit switching pools, maybe as a replacement to hashrefinery etc.

since it uses the same yiimp template as zpool, i kind of sort of got it to work by modifying the zpool templates, but it's a pain in the ass to setup and doesn't work for all algos (some don't receive profit info from the pool, while others do just fine etc.).... also the dash doesn't show the current profit of the algo being mined, while clicking on details does show it etc.   like i said, it kind of sort of works, but it would be great if it worked natively, just like zpool.

thanks in advance.

Good day

Yesterday came the antminer S9, but as it turned out the settings for the frequency and rotation of coolers - it does not exist
Also AM not change frequencies through ssh
Are there any thoughts in this direction?

Thank you

Patrike, it seems to me that the tick boxes to allow miners to autostart are redundant. It would not be difficult for the controller to keep track (by writing a file or the registry) of which miners are currently active. This would allow the same configuration to be restored in the event of any rig being restarted or even the whole system being shut down and restarted.

A further refinement might be for each remote agent to also store its running state so that in the event of a restart, but loss of connection to the master, the rig could restore its previous mining state in isolation.

As things stand, we have to have 2 miners defined for each rig so swapping between them and keeping the autostart switched to the right ones is a nuisance, and also gives the possibility of a mistake making 2 miners try to run at once in the event of a restart.

Seems like I might have found a bug. I'm managing two different sets of all with Managed Profit Miners and I used the override feature on one to use a different Mining Pool Hub worker name. When I click the miner and select Pools it shows the global MPH worker name instead of the override worker name. If you right-click the miner and go to detail > process information it shows the correct worker name.

Can't we just go in to Options then Algorithms and uncheck the ones we don't want?

I'm assuming you are using a profit miner?  If so, which one?  If you want to exclude a certain coin on an algo, then you will have to setup a pool for every coin you want to mine at that site, and put them in a pool group.  It's a lot of work, if there's a few dozen coins in that algo.

But... if you are using a profit miner, then you are generally at the mercy of what the multi-algo pool says is most profitable.  I know that some pools like zpool can switch you to non-profitable coins in order to keep performance up, or to reach a minimum amount of coins so that they can send it to an exchange.

It happens to me from time to time.  Just try again later.



Can you upload a screenshot of your rule so we can take a look at it?



If you are using the custom claymore settings at the pool level, there's a column for the setting and one for the value.  Make sure the setting just says r and the value on the same line says 1.
