Something that is really crying out to be fixed is that starting a miner should automatically stop any other miner running on that host before it starts.  Also if a miner is set to autostart, it should disable the option on other miners on the same host.  It's messy and unprofessional that these aren't implemented.
Thanks for the feedback.

In most cases the recommendation is to use Managed Templates to switch between multiple configurations instead of having many Managed Miners for the same host.

There can of course be instances where you do want more Managed Miners, so I fully understand your point here.

I don't think the "execute additional commands before starting the mining software" works.  I trying to get a simple .bat file working and it just doesn't work.  If the bat file contains "echo hello" then it runs but AM errors with "Failed to start miner process".  If I put in a short delay in the bat file (three seconds) then the error goes away and AM thinks it has launched the miner (but it hasn't) and a few seconds later attempts a restart.

What is the problem?   I can't possibly see how I am doing anything incorrectly.

Using the latest version of AM.
Can you try the Diagnostics button on this to see what the exact problem is?

When I tried configuring the additional batch command as the following, it works fine for the Managed Miner I tried with:
echo "hello"

I am trying really hard to get Awesome Miner to work on my Rig. Windows sees all 8GPUs and is happy! Claymore runs great by itself. When I add in Awesome Miner runs for a few minutes then crashes/stalls and when it restarts it never gets past (GPU #2 algorithm ASM, intensity 6) it just sits there stuck. I must have something input wrong in Awesome Miner I have tried a ton of stuff but NO Go! I am trying to Mine BTG On Supernova pool using Claymores Equihash to have Awesome Miner control the Rig. Any help is much Appreciated!!

You need to put the worker name in the worker name field... not in the wallet field.  If your worker name is "puwaha"... put puwaha in that field.  Then in the managed miner settings click the button to append the rig name to the worker name.  So if your rig name is "rig1", then AM will put that together to make "puwaha.rig1".  Make sure you setup the worker name in suprnova as well.

Hi Patrike

Can you implement on/off profit switching for concrete miner group. And pool adding for all miners in group.

Feature suggestion:  would be cool if you could integrate with TeamViewer and/or VNC so you could quickly remote into a rig right from the AM miner list.

I'm mining MONA on a single 1070.  WhatToMine says it should be making $3.89 per day and AM is showing $3.93.  That's great.  But once or twice an hour AM will drop to $2.47 or something and then in a little while go back to $3.93 or whatever.  Any idea why this would be?  My hash rate is steady.  When I notice this happen I quickly bring up WhatToMine and it hasn't changed.

Anyone know if Awesome Miner can interact with rigs that are running on Simple Mining OS?

I really love Awesome Miner, but i am coming to ends with Windows itself. I have been having lots of pains with the recent changes of Windows and rigs that were super stable previously have been having random issues with the recent updates, but if i stick a thumb drive with simple mining os on the exact same rig, it becomes stable again and im no longer chasing a fan issue i have been having with my windows rigs recently. I really prefer Awesome miner due to how easy it is to use along with my ability to use it for profit switching, but im having random gpu's running away with temps and the windows miner not stopping the gpu from mining to protect it....

Not sure if im the only one having this issue, but i have been having issues with the GPU's unable to properly throttle itself with set max temp settings and adjust fan speeds via default values. Its like windows is lagging to make the communication or the drivers with the devices is having conflicts, but it started occuring with the most recent forced windows major update.

The past 3-4 weeks i have had a handful of GPU's get stuck so the fan % is locked at lets say 40% fan speed, but the temps of the GPU slowly kept climbing without the fan speed ever changing. Then i get notifications that my GPU is running hot and i have to literally fully power off the rig to gain control back of the GPU.

Example, today 1 of my 1080ti's was stuck at 27% fan speed that it dropped down to during the night period due to ambient temps in my garage in the 40's F, but during the day the temps got back up to the 70's and the GPU was running at 94C when i got home to fix it with the fan speed still stuck at 27%.

3 questions

1. With Mining Pool Hub do I need to create a worker under every single coin it might mine when using Profit Switching?

2. How do you go about setting up dual mining with Ethereum/Siacoin? It appears Ethereum/Decred are currently the only ones supported?

3. Any idea why my Profit Switching miner shows Monacoin as the most profitable coin in the Coins tab but AM continues to make it mine Neoscrypt Feathercoin which is down near the 5th in profitability? I have done the benchmark and checked everything I can think of without luck.

1. No.  MPH will automagically create the workers.

2. I've disabled Siacoin as it was trying to dual mine Eth/Sia and Sia has an exchange problem currently.  I haven't been able to get Eth/Decred to run, (though I haven't really tried).

3. Profit Switching only switches algorithms, it's up to MPH (or whatever pool is being used) to decide on the coin.  As to why, AM is choosing lyra2RE2 over Neoscrypt, check "Online Services" and select the pool you are using.  That will show in order, the most to least profitable algos.

 

Thank you - so WTM profitability doesn't come into play at all? I am guessing your benchmark in AM helps AM decide which algo to use and then MPH decides which coin per algo to use?

It uses WTM to get the stats used to determine profitability taking into your benchmark results.  By default, these are updated every 15 minutes but you can change this.  In theory if you input the exact benchmark results for your hardware into wtm, it should show a similar result but bear in mind even a few seconds difference and they might not be the same.

What does everyone use the Group feature for?  I am thinking I will use it to group my rigs by AMD and Nvidia GPU so that I can switch pools on a per-group basis.

To Devs and Friendly miners (trolls... well okay you too)

Hey guys.

I'm fooling around with the Balance section of this software.
The builtin block explorer works for the coins loaded on that site.
Also, I've read the help section
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/coinbalance.aspx

Now I'm trying to put the balance in for
Bitcoinz, ZenCash, Hush 

I've googled some block explorer sites for these coins... but I want to add them to the Balance section.

I was hoping for some guidance on how to setup the Balance section for these coins.

Any insight lads?

thanks for the update and control of the password field for yiimp style pools. I've definitely seen a huge drop of users asking for currency changes!

hello, I just downloaded another AM on my nvidia laptop to run while I am not using it. I set it up, benchmarked it, but it only benchmarked a few, then I tried to run it after. But it keeps popping up the miner for a second then disappearing and saying interface offline on AM GUI. I looked in the logs and this is what it shows.
Code:
12/13/2017 2:10:52 AM.799 [010] [E]System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.
12/13/2017 2:10:52 AM.799 [010] [E]   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
   at PE.Infrastructure.Web.HttpRequestHelper.GetResponseString(HttpWebRequest req)
   at PE.Infrastructure.Web.HttpRequestHelper.PerformPost(String url, String postData, WebProxy proxy, CookieContainer cookieContainer, Dictionary`2 headerDict, Boolean throwException, Boolean preventUnescapeOfSlash, String contentType, String requestMethod)


Any help would be much appreciated, as I have no clue what would cause this and have not been able to find any info as of yet to help.


Can anyone help with this? I see other people here haveing the same problem but have not received help either.

First things first... it's not a good idea to run mining software on a laptop.  They don't have the ability to keep your laptop cool for long periods of time that you would be mining.  You could potentially damage your laptop.

That being said, if you still want to try... What model GPU is in the laptop?  Which benchmarks did it complete?  Are you using a managed miner or a profit miner?  Which pool are you using?  What coin or algo are you trying to mine?

Well, now with my luck I am having the same problem with my 3 rx 580 rig. It has benchmarked all algos but was only mining to miningpoolhub with the profit miner mining all available algos.

Now for my laptop. Yes I know that it is not good to mine a lot with it, I only have it run at night in the nice and cool basement along with my 580 rig. My laptop has a NVidia GTX 1060 in it. I am currently having it benchmark again because I had deleted and re-installed the program and my miner so I cannot name off the top of my head what it was able to benchmark. I have that connected to miningpoolhub and zpool.

On both of them when I click the miner and start it, it says "interface offline" and they both give me the same error in the logs.

Thank you for your reply and help.

Can I have some directions for setting Monacoin Lyra2RE2 on managed miner with miningpoolhub. Thanks.

1. Setup the pool first.  use hub.miningpoolhub.com:20593 as the URL.  Put in some login name for the worker name... make it something simple like "puwaha"... then put in puwaha.   Then just make your password x

2. Login to the monacoin pool at miningpoolhub.com and go to the workers option.  In the Add worker section, add the worker name... in my example above, it's puwaha... and then password of X.  Then on the right hand side, you need to add the rig name... maybe rig1

3. Now go back to AM and setup the managed miner... make sure the algo, coin, and pool are correct.  Tick the box to "Add to worker name", and make it match what you called your rig in step 2 above on the miningpoolhub.com web page.  This option will combine the worker name of "puwaha" with "rig1" to make the complete worker name of "puwaha.rig1" which is what miningpoolhub is expecting.


I like to pre-populate worker names at sites like Miningpoolhub or Suprnova so that there is no chance of getting rejected.  I know they are supposed to auto-add worker names, but I guess I'm OCD about that.  Smiley

Using a remote miner, AM says the interface is offline but the miner is running and the remote port is working.  Using Claymore CryptoNight.  It sometimes works but sometimes not.  I have another remote rig where it's working all the time.

You have setup an external miner?  Are you running linux?  If you are running windows then put the agent on the windows box and use a managed miner instead.  If it's linux, maybe increase the status update interval from the default of 5 seconds.  The CPU of the external miner may be taxed if you are running a cryptonight miner as many of those will mine with your CPU as well as your GPU.
