Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 496. (Read 703446 times)

Feature request: If you're running multiple mining software for multiagos, example, EWBF and ccminer, and using the same port, allow the external miners to be able to reference APIs from both platforms. Obviously when EWBF is running, CC isn't and when CC is running EWBF is running but the disconnect stuff is getting old, even with adjusting the timeouts. Right now it's bastardized in that I have two external rigs for each piece of mining software where half of them are always disconnected (due to the other miner running) and then there still seems to be issues with the API dropping off on the rigs referencing the mining software currently hashing.

Unless of course there is a better way of managing multiple pieces of mining software per rig. It would be nice to have a consistent earnings estimate instead of being a mere fraction of what I am running due to the rigs showing up as disconnected (however, if you go into properties of each rig and test the connection, it shows as successful).

its on all pools i have noticed also on miningpoolhub the same thing

There has been a long time speculation that there is something causing 20% loss of earnings in the exchange process.   I discovered that the AverageIncrement function used to create a rolling average of the prices on the exchanges could return 80% of the input values if either of the inputs were 0.  I've submitted a bug fix to the Yiimp git, but it has not been accepted yet.  Ahashpool.com has implemented the bug fix long ago and I have found that it pays out much better than Zpool.  The one drawback is that it does not have near the same number of algorithms and coins available.  Specifically the Equihash implementation in Yiimp is private and not shared publicly.

Zpool does still pay out better than what Nicehash used too, but there is an obvious bug that continues to go unfixed.  There is a thread where evidence was presented that clearly showed that the exchange rates being given on mined coins was always 15-20% below the expected value at the time of payout.  Its a hard discussion to win because everyone seems to doubt the validity and chalks up the evidence as somehow doctored or could be explained away by exchange price fluctuations.  Hopefully Crackfoo comes to his senses and implements the bug fix.  In fact I think people would be fine paying a 5-10% exchange fee if he were transparent about it.  It costs money to run a pool and I don't think anyone expects him to do it for free.

I have found that the latest updates added to the program have crashed mining operations like getting amd sgminer to run on more than just 1 amd card only not sure what is going on or how to fix this problem as your program is heavily encrypted.
may have to look in to features that ask what cards to add for future.

also noticed the updates add miners that conflict with nvidia add and want to run amd cards first before looking on system for cards to run mining programs

program will only benchmark one card of amd and nvidia in device list

That's the thing, it hashes just fine when I start it. I just can't benchmark the cards, so they will just start mining the coin that seems most profitable according to the (very very wrong) existing hash/s numbers, so the profit switching is useless for me since it'll switch between three coins that are 100% worthless for me to mine ( 2-3 cents per day profit ) and skip the ones such as CryptoNight that would actually make me money.

I've solved it for now by force-running each algo by itself and then saving the hash-values per card. It takes abssolutely forever though, so it's kind of a deal killer for me atm. I'm not gonna go through that process on 200+ cards.

It seems to me ( might be wrong ) that it's just not sending the command line arguments when starting the miner for a benchmark. I'm not sure if it's something I've configured in a wonky manner or if it's a legit bug though.

HELP 

I'be been rolling along for months using AM and now apparently typoed or set a value too low for an auto reboot rule. I have a rig that reboots the second AM opens. I tried uninstalling AM, rebooting, then reinstalled and the profile/rules are all still saved.

Do you know where the rules are saved locally?

Or better yet, is there a way to launch AM with rules disabled?

I don't know if there would have been an easier way to do it but I removed all my profit managed miners and re-added them as managed miners and now it works fine. The only thing is I have to --open cl 0/1/2 depending on the worker and  I also had to add the worker name to the pw for my ETN pool so I have a bunch of console commands set up for each miner and I'm thinking, if I switch algo (and which uses another miner) I won't be able to save those specific worker settings for this miner, right? Will I have to re-enter them again one by one?

Also I've read earlier that you could scale down profitability for a coin, do I have to manually re-add ETN through the "Coins & Profit" option tab or is there another way?


Edit: one suggestion I'd make for cast is to make it press q in the console when it you close the miner through Awesome otherwise GPUs get stuck, it's really weird if you don't close the miner that way.

Puwaha offered a solution for this earlier this morning -

You will need to setup two managed miners, one for each set of cards.  Then you will have to select mining software that lets you include or exclude specific GPUs... like Claymore's.  So on one manage miner, you have it run the mining software only using the 1060s, and on the other, you set it to only mine with the 1080s.  It's a complex setup, but it is doable.  The key is that the mining software has to allow you to include or exclude GPUs.

I think it will be the same for a mix of AMD and NVIDIA cards.

Hi,

sorry if this has been asked before, but is awesome miner able to handle to types of GPU (Nvidia and AMD) on the same machine?

Hi Patrik, thanks for adding the ZAR currency, it has been very helpful.

1. Even though I am enjoying the app I sometimes have difficulty as I am using Awesome Miner on my main PC in the lounge to UHD TV, because of the lounge setup I have to use a high scaling option than vs default windows 10 scaling.  When using higher scaling sometimes menus are cut off at the bottom depending on which screen I am navigating to. For example I click on options and the "Ok" or "Cancel" is hidden behind the task bar at the bottom which means I have to temporarily lower the scaling to use Awesome Miner vs there being a scroll bar when the menu doesn't have enough space for the screen to help cater for different users setup/scaling.

Is a solution to this something that can be added to the backlog for a future release?

2. I have multi profit miners setup, they mine between Zpool and The Pool Hub, can someone please let me know what setting or Rule I can setup where in the case of Zpool servers going down it wont try to connect to zpool continuously (which stops mining) but after X number of attempts where I cant connect to Zpool servers it switches to The Pool Hub or whatever other available pool I have enabled within the pool switching profile.

Thanks

1) I will let other share their opinions about it. You may get a little more stable predictions with 24h

2) Probably the same answer as I gave to a similar question. All the profit estimates displayed in Awesome Miner is based on what the pool reports, and should be similar as their predictions on their web site. Changing the Current vs 24h avg may give better predictions.

3) This depends on what GPU you are running and I'm not even sure that Hot is representing here. To see how the profit switcher is prioritizing, please right click on the miner and select View Details.

Go to Options dialog, Advanced section and increase "Miner API connection timeout". By default, if your Antminer isn't responding within 3s that it's in privileged mode for example, it's considered not to be. On fast/stable networks this shouldn't be a problem, but on slower connections I recommend to increase the timeout.

All the profit estimates displayed in Awesome Miner is based on what zpool reports, and should be similar as their predictions on their web site. Awesome Miner will by default use the current profit information from all the sources above, but it may be more accurate if you change to the 24 h average:

Cast XMR was introduced as a Managed Miner, but not yet listed as an option for Profit switching. I was hoping to get some feedback on the Cast XMR implementation made so far before I make it available for profit switching as well - because then much more people will start using it.

You were correct STSMiner.... After changing the switching interval and the profit switching threshold, I am now seeing what I consider normal functionality.

New Question:

Are any you using zpool and noticing you are not getting paid anywhere close to what Awesome Miner is saying you are earning?


I mined all day and night with my test rig, and Awesome Miner was reporting a profit from $6/day to $18/day....

But on the zpool wallet page, it shows I have earned $3 in bitcoin.  

Hi guys,

I'm getting this issue as well, Cast XMR is listed on the Managed Software section but not selectable within the Profit Profiles

Thanks

How do i change intensity?   I tried it in device profiles but it never takes affect unless im doing it wrong?

Gpu still mining at 20.0.

Usely i like too turn it down some so i can game a bit lol


<<<<<< miss nice hash was easy too do..


i see intensity button in the gpu tab but its blank out?



hopefully changeing the intensity is not a paid feature sense that would be stupid...

In most cases, the templates are used to apply the same settings to a large number of miners. In most cases, you don't want to override the "Add to worker name" that is unique per Managed Miner. You just want to apply all other settings to the miners. That's the reason why it's not part of the template.

Hello all, I few questions about pools and setup of AwesomeMiner. Running eight 1080ti and a 1060.

1. Which option most people select  on Options/Statistics/Statistic Settings, Current or 24 hour average?

2. I had hashrefinery and zpool enabled. My rig worked to hasrefinery and after 12 hours from initial start, while software showing a lot of profits, I have collected around 3-4 usd then I disabled hashrefinery. What I am missing in here?

3. After disabling all pools but zpool, Awesome miner currently selected neoscrypt but many times in "pool status" at zpool, equihash signed as "hot". Why its not switching to equihash?

Please forgive me if these are simple questions, but I am trying to catch the logic to success with multi algo miner.

There is no automatic way for Awesome Miner to know about the "bad luck". Manually changing it like you did is probably the best solution.

The API information from WhatToMine do include some "poolfee" property, but isn't represented as a percentage that Awesome Miner automatically can use for calculations.
