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?

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 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

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.

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.

hi patrike,

any new regarding this post some sites ago? Grin

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.25707465

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.

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. Huh

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:

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

Awesome Miner version 4.2.4

- Cast XMR miner supported as Managed Miner
- New settings for wait time before terminating mining software and delay for auto starting miners on bootup
- Command line and custom exe-file configurable per Managed Profit Miner
- "Remove miner" added to context menu in miner list
- South African Rand added as display currency
- E-mail configuration includes a button for sending a test message
- Disabled Blake2b (sia) on Ccminer
- Correction to Wallet balance list
- Correction to benchmarking

I love you patrike thanks so much for this update

I just have one question, I see cast-xmr in "managed miners" but I can't select it in my profit profiles, how do I make my miners use it for cryptonight?

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.

Here's a possible issue: why can't I edit the "Add to worker name" field on a template (under General->Mining Pool)? I am using a built-in miner and and have selected a pool. I can edit the field ok on the managed miner's properties with the same other settings.

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, I'm very brand new to the world of mining and even newer to awesome miner. I've moved here from the sad burning pile of ashes that is Nicehash =(

I've managed to figure out how to mine ETN from easyhash.io and its going decently but I'd like to learn more! I didn't configure anything and just put in the necessary info and just let it run. Are there any guides/tricks to tweak it a bit to run more efficiently/better? (not exactly sure if this is the best or something else would be more profitable?)

Also I managed to learn the managed miner thing but wasn't sure of the managed profit miner aspect of it. Basically it switches between different pools right? I don't know why it wouldn't work. Do I need to set some stuff up first (wallets, sign up to something?, verify some stuff?)?

Thanks guys!

First of all, Welcome!

Nice that you have a setup running. The Managed Profit Miner will automatically change mining software, algorithm and pool based on what is currently most profitable. You will find it described in more detail here:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx.

Although you can use your own pools in the profit switcher, many people simply enter their Bitcoin address for some of the built-in pools and no additional configuration is required. Please keep in mind that Awesome Miner itself is not a mining pool and that all payouts will be from the pools you enable for the profit switcher.

One more question though. I was mining ETN and it calculated total per day at around 10 dollars. Its been running for about 18 hours and its only about 4 dollars without much fluctuation of the price of ETN. Is that normal?

The ETN calculators grossly over estimate profit, especially depending on what pool you are on. The only pools I have found that pay close to calculated are Suprnova, HashVault, and Nanopool. This over estimation is why WhatToMine recently took ETN off their site for a few days and have since applied a "bad luck" factor ("bad luck" is another name for poorly run pools or scam pools).

I noticed the inaccurate ETN calculations too. I changed ETN profitability to 0.67, and now it matched WTM a lot closer.

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.

Patrike,

Can you check out the code in Awesome Miner for a bug.

Some new users have joined zpool, used a bitcoin wallet (BTC), but in the wallet (stats page) at zpool it's set as BCH.

Awesome Miner is not doing anything for this scenario and simply assuming that zpool will go for BTC if nothing is specified explicitly. Awesome Miner do not specify payout coin at all, so this must be investigated from a zpool point of view.

The zpool instructions have always been a bit unclear on this.

Quote

-o stratum+tcp://.mine.zpool.ca: -u [-p c=,]
must be a valid address. Incorrect addresses will result in forfit of earning.
You can also use any valid wallet address from any of the coins we mine. This feature has had minimal testing so use at your own risk

Awesome Miner is setting the Bitcoin wallet address the user specified. I interpret that you can specify any coin for payout, but that specifying like that is "at your own risk". For that reason, Awesome Miner is not specifying this "c=" parameter. In the past zpool always went for Bitcoin payouts in that scenario.

You can still configure Awesome Miner to add this parameter if you want (via Options dialog, Online Services, modify the zpool entries and add command line "-p c=ABC" or similar).

Further reading on zpool instructions:

Quote

c= doesn't always work

This is yet another reason why Awesome Miner isn't trying to set this parameter at all.

yeah, mine is doing that. Sad

I really hope this is a zpool bug and not another fuckup.

-edit-

works as expected on pool.hashrefinery.com with same btc address.
