I have this two GPUs, but I only want to use one. How can I disable one of them?



In the password field add this

-t 1

eg

-o stratum+tcp://xevan.mine.zpool.ca:3739 -u YOUR_BITCOIN_ADDRESS_HERE -p c=BTC,d=0.003 -t 1

See the end of the command line, this tells Awesome Miner to use the first GPU only.

All of this below is put in the password field

c=BTC,d=0.003 -t 1

c=BTC << this is a payment symbol (bitcoin), it's used with my bitcoin wallet address

d=x.x << this sets the difficulty for the GPU

Update: The -t command disables all other GPU's, I am looking for a fix.

How can I add ProHashing to the pools and profit switching.  I'm using Antminers and I have them pointed to PH but the profit is at 0.00 because I can't get the pool into Online Services.  Any ideas?

Is there any way to change miner from Managed Miner to Managed Profit Miner and back? It would be extremely helpful.

This morning profit switching has chosen Blake2b on Miningpoolhub but there seems to be an error.

This is all that happens. This is on my main PC but I have 2 other rigs also giving the same error.

Any idea whats wrong?

It's a couple days I'm using AM and I'm loving it, very nice software

I would like to suggest a feature... profit switching based on current or 24h revenue is great for people who want to instantly convert or sell the coins, but as an holder what I would like is an auto-switching based on difficulty/block reward rather than immediate revenue.

Maybe the formula could still take profit in account, but the main factor to decide which coin to mine would the difficulty.

So even if the daily profit would result lower, selling the coins later could bring higher profits

Hi, can anyone share best practises for VPN + awesomeminer for Asic's please?

I use SoftEther to connect few locations to awesomeminer, and experience problems with connection, Awesomeminer sometimes can't reach Asics, though I can ping them. I think, Awesomeminer tries to establish connection during asic's attemp to connect to pools after reboot, or VPN somehow blocks something on the fly. Opened TCP, UDP, ICMP and SSH traffic for connect, maybe need something else?
Any tip of advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sometimes means your VPN seems to be properly configured otherwise you wouldn't be able to reach it at all. I would switch VPN server from UDP to TCP to ensure no packet loss which could be the culprit of sometimes.

Make sure the upload connection on the VPN server is fast enough to serve its clients.

Network latency might be your #1 root cause.

I think you need to Benchmark one of your cards / miners and save the result(s) for it to show profit.

I did not make a gpu benchmark and system running for 36 hours. When I tried, it seems benchmark is trying to connect nicehash.  Ate there any other pool options for benchmarking?

Should we remove/deselect nicehash.com from Options/Profit Switching ?

Yes, no point mining there at the moment, wait to see if they bring the service back online first, check the website from time to time to see / get news etc.

Yes, please go to Options dialog, Profit switching and uncheck Nicehash and enable some other pools.

What can I do?
I need to see the complete command line that started cpuminer to help. Right now it's only possible to see that Ccminer cannot connect to Mining Pool Hub - but not anything related to Awesome Miner.

Is this Mining Pool Hub related only? I assume many of the pools are under stress right now when people are moving from Nicehash.

Is there a way to disable some certain gpu when using auto-switch?

I know I can use the command "-d 1,2" to disable gpu0 when using regular miner config but I couldn't find a way to do the same with auto switch.
I tried to add it in the mining software config in the profit profile but it doesn't work.
Hi,

The difficulty is that this is unique per mining software. And different mining software are quite often using their own order of the GPU's. Awesome Miner do allow you to specify this per Profit profile per mining software and it sounds like you found the correct settings (Options dialog, Profit profile section, edit your profile, select mining software and then Configure). Wasn't it applied correctly? Please verify with the Diagnostics button to see which command line arguments is being added.

As you know Nicehash is down today. When using profit switching on a antminer what happens when a pool is dead? If the most profitable pool is dead, does it use the second most profitable?
If you have more than one pool on your Antminer, your Antminer will automatically failover to the next pool in the list according to priority - so it's fully compatible with the profit switching feature in Awesome Miner.

Hi.
Patrike I need your help in very first step.

I'm trying to create a Managed Profile Miner.
My steps are:

1. Add Host with IP adress - it is ok. Succesfully connected to Awesome miner
2. Add Profit Managed Miner with host in step #1
3. Press a button - GPU setting - Setting via AM and MSI Afterburner
4. Now I can see all of my GPUs of Rig#2
5. Next I press a button Map to system monitoring and nothing is happenings?
6. Button Start(in upper menu) is not active

Where I have to dig in here?

I have 1 GPU on a computer where AM is running, it is difined like local miner Rig#1 and this is working well on Managed Profit Switching with all predifined pools are activated and with my BTC address printed in.

I settled the MsiAfterburnerServerAgent with AM Remote Agent on my Rig#2.

What should I do to start minig with My Rig#2

And I'd like to point out on some moments of AM

1. I have about 100 Antminers of different types which are united in different groups.
When some of groups are opened it is not possible to see the main group string which shows summary statistic of a group. Can you attach groups to the top of the screen, so it could be always seen and be easy to deploy or to collapse. Now when I scroll my miners down the main string of a group is being go away.

2. The options Sort by miners name is not working properly. For example a miner with IP 192.168.0.117 is going before a miner with IP 192.168.0.56

3. Can you Add in main string of a group an ability to sort a data in columns, espesially a column Status.
Because when you have some of the miners are deactivated it is not possible to apply a command to the whole groups of miners.

4. Sometimes AM shows me asics as Deactivated, so it is not possible to apply any comands to it, while when I connect to asic via browser with IP address it is connected and colud be rebooted from inner menu of asic.

First about the GPU miner. Maybe you can send me a screenshot together with the Awesome Miner log file (Toolbar: Tools -> Log file) so I get the complete picture of this issue.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will use this as input for future improvements. Thanks!

2) About sorting - it's text based and not number based and is actually looking at the description of the miner. If you don't have a description, the IP address is used as descripton

4) Is the miner mining properly when this happens? Sometimes the cgminer process can hang if it doesn't work out well with the pool, and then a miner can show up as Disconnected in Awesome Miner.

Hi,
First of all, thanks for everyone (and especially STSMiner) helping out to answer the questions in the thread. Because of the Nicehash incident, I've had a very large number of e-mail messages from new users the last 1 - 2 days.

I will read up on the questions from the last two days, but if I miss anything any issue that hasn't resolved already, please let me know.


 Shocked  Grin

Just so you know, I bit the bullit -- took the $70.00 option before the price increase.  Thanks for the software, it's the best one around out of the 4 I've tried.
Gets 2 thumbs up from me.

Hello Patrike,
Sometimes the windows process crash at the begin of the mining, and windows debugging is asking to close/force stop the window.

Can you add a watch dog on the awesome miner client , if the miner didn't start or speed is equal with 0 , to identify the Process PID and close it? Like that the Awsome miner server will be able to proper start the mining window again, otherwise it get stuck, Server side see it as a running process, but client is not running at all.
Thanks,

Hi,
Although I've already answered this one via PM. I'm also providing the answer here because it may be useful for others as well.

The solution is to configure Windows to not show those crash dialogs. They are preventing the process from exiting and it will still be considered running by both Windows and Awesome Miner.
Please see this link for instructions: https://superuser.com/a/715645
After that modification, Awesome Miner should detect it as a crash and simply restart the mining process.
