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.

Hi Patrick, I created a group on the social network Vkontakte for Russian speakers with a brief instruction on how to use it. all links go to your official website. I hope you will not be offended.

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).

Can someone walk me through or give me a link to the easiest way to setup AM for GPU mining Lyra2rev2 and Equihash on miningpoolhub? Having some difficulty getting connected and getting AM to start mining.

Does anyone else have problems with benchmarking?
I'm trying to run the benchmarks, but the miner keeps telling me there's no pool added. I can mine just fine if I press Start, but the benchmarks can't find any pool.

I've even followed the guide to add your own algorithm to benchmark, and it still can't find it.

Only tried with CryptoNight so far. Anyone got any ideas?

" No pool specified. Add at least one valid pool using the -xpool parameter "



You must have missed a setting. Profit Switching Profiles also need to be checked as well as the mining software.

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx   << See the section -- Profit Switching Profile Properties

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/benchmark.aspx

Also check to see what pools have been enabled.

Configuration section >> http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx

Yeah, I thought so too. I've checked and double checked everything now. I even did a clean install on both systems, and I just can't get it to find the pool when I'm benchmarking.

It finds it just fine if I just press Start. It'll happily start mining away.
I find it really odd that it would be different when benchmarking like this.

Right click the miner and do a diagnostic check and post the results here (remove your wallet address before you post it).



I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. It looks like this one was hashing perfectly fine. Do you still experience issues?

Your software does not work except on your coin address in your batch file.

It is fraudulent

All I had to do was put in my bitcoin address instead of yours, and voila! instantly destroyed your software.

Your software mines fine when it is paying YOU.

It does not work at all when it is someone else who is being paid.

You are very wrong here. Awesome Miner is simply launching mining software based on your configuration. It's very open about what command line is being used and you can verify it using the diagnostics button.

If you have any questions about your configuration, please use the Diagnostics button and share the details and we will help you. Please drop the false accusations. Awesome Miner has successfully been used by a large number of users over several years, both in small scale and large scale mining operations. I would never ruin the business and solid reputation by stealing a few cents from someone setting up mining for the first time.

I have a few S9's running with 2 pools, antpool and zpool. 2 miners show Antpool as alive, and are mining fine, 6 others show antpool as dead and will only mine on zpool. Anyone run into this issue? Double checked my pool info. Not sure if it's an awesome miner issue or if its in the antminers.
The pool status like Enabled / Dead / Disabled is listed in Awesome Miner exactly as the Antminer provides the information. If a pool is Dead, the Antminer considers it to be Dead. This is not releated to Awesome Miner.

Using Claymore's CryptoNight miner, why won't the GPU list show accepted/rejected/HW error counts for each GPU?  Is the information not available through Claymore's API?  The total counts for that stuff is shown for the overall miner.
Claymore introduced this a week ago on the Ethereum miner, but not on the CryptoNight miner.

For Claymore Ethereum - I've not adjusted Awesome Miner to display this yet, as it's a new API command that cannot be executed on older Claymore versions. I need to implement some compatibilty checks first. Maybe next week.

Am I Missing something?   the daily profits calculations for my machines are almost double what a different app and even whattomine is projecting for me.

I did run the benchmark as well.     I haven't had a full 24hours running yet, so i'll see when i get a payout to see if its accurate or not.
Awesome Miner will by default use the current profit information from all the sources above. Sources like WhatToMine is by default listing the profit information based on the 24 hour average on their web site. See how to change configuration:

I'm getting "Stratum extranonce answer id was not correct!" when trying to mine, any ideas??

It looks to be when trying to mine Blake2b
This will be corrected in the next release that will be made available very soon.

Does anyone use Awesome Miner with zpool?

Out of all of the alternatives, I am finding Awesome Miner with zpool to be my best alternative to Nicehash.... but...

After setting up Awesome Miner with zpool, I am only seeing my rig mining Neoscrypt. I believe I have it setup to auto switch... but I have only seen it mine Neoscrypt since I started. When I used Awesome Miner in the past with Nicehash, it switched much more often.

At first I could not complain because I was making a decent profit rate... but now it has dropped and I am concerned.

____

Also... Does Awesome Miner support xmr in any way? I don't see it.

I was making a decent profit by mining CryptoNight with xmr-stak-cpu with Nicehash.


Thank you for any help you can provide.

Awesome Miner will mine the algo that pays the most.

If you want to change that, visit here >>  http://www.awesomeminer.com/help.aspx

Algos Settings >> http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/addalgorithm.aspx
Any of thses with a checkmark in the box will be mined based on it's profit in USD via profit switching.

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx


Yes I am aware of all of this. I have read all of those links....

I am asking about the auto switching because 90% of the time Equihash was what Nicehash had me mining but it would still switch to other algorithms all the time for short term gains, and now that I am using Awesome Miner, the only thing I have mined is Neoscrypt.

I setup my managed profit miner just like the link says to and I chose zpool.... it just seems stuck on Neoscrypt.


Also.... is it possible to setup Awesome Miner to use xmr-stak-cpu to mine CryptoNight with my cpu?

Neoscrypt was paying more than the other algo's on Zpool, that's why it did not switch.
Neoscrypt is as I type this still paying higher than the other algo's at Zpool.

xmr-stak is being looked at by patrike, patrike is the developer for the software. News should follow soon on this.
