Just found out about this mining tool. Looks awesome, but have yet to download.
Quick question, do multiple instances of a miner using different gpus but on the same rig count as multiple rigs, or just one rig?
The license is per mining instance, and in most cases you have one mining instance per computer. However, if you have both AMD and nVidia on the same computer, you typically run two separate mining instances, and that will consume 2 licenses.

Hello Patrike,
I too have questions regarding licence. If you can't integrate in a future version the possibility to override the default profit switcher for specific profile groups, i'll have to install awesome miner on concerned rigs, losing the interest of managing all my rigs with one software. But what happened regarding licence ? Does the rig with his own awesome miner count has an additional licence ? Or is it considered as a free one working alone ?

Hi all, .. I have been using Awesome Miner for months now with my Antminer rigs (2-R4's, 2- S9's) without any issues.

I just added five (5) new Avalon S-741s and while hashing very well, I cannot seem to add them to as a new miner to Awesome Miner.

Searching through the forums... It looks like I need to figure out how to add "Privileged API Access" (I guess).

I found some instructions but am not confident enough to attempt changing my settings for this.

Can anyone help at the API for dummies level?Huh
I don't have first hand experience of configuring Avalon miners, but I know other users are running them. On Avalon miners, the API settings can be found in the configuration interface via: Status -> CGMiner Configuration.

When you found the settings for the API, you can get some inspirations on how to configure it from this guide:

Does Awesome Miner support remote controlling miners running nvOC (Ubuntu)?

My farm of nvOC based miners is growing and being able to centrally manage 1bash, 3main and the watchdog scripts (or perhaps in case of the watchdog script) be a replacement for it, would be very nice.

I'm running DSTM ZM Miner 0.5.6 on all rigs.  I know that Awesome Miner recently added support for it, but it is not clear to me if Awesome Miner is only capable of interfacing with the ZM miner's API, or if it can manipulate GPU clock rates, power level, coins mined, etc, which are all normally selected within the 1bash script on each rig.
Awesome Miner can only connect to Linux miners using the API of the mining software, so the capabilities will be limited to what this API can provide and it's typically only the basic monitoring information that is available.

The Remote Agent application is not available on Linux so you will not have any additional features like clocking or make changes to the pools and so on. The plan is however to have the Remote Agent application running on Linux in the future.

Awesome Miner version 4.2.2

- XMR-Stak miner can be monitored as an External Miner
- More flexible configuration of Block Explorers for the wallet balance feature to support more coins. Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and Ethereum Classic are now supported by default.
- Correction to profit threshold feature

Hello,

I am able to add an external miner and select Dstm Zcash Miner and it pulls all the stats unfortunately I am not able to set the Coin I am mining.
Under coin it states Unspec. Equihash. When I right click and click on Define Pool Coin -> Zcash it does not change.

Any idea?

Thanks

Daniel

I've implemented support for the Dstm Zcash Miner.

You can expect a new release of Awesome Miner within the next 1 - 2 days with this support included.

Any ETA for supporting XMR-Stak's new unified version?  That's pretty much all I'm running these days.  I so desperately want to use Awesome Miner and XMR-Stak that I'm considering writing an adapter program to emulate Claymore so I can feed XMR-Stak's data back to Awesome Miner.  But I don't want to invest that time if support for XMR-Stak will be coming in the next month or two.

I have this written and running well.

Please elaborate.

I threw together a quick app last night to emulate a Claymore API to serve as a bridge between AM and XMR-Stak.  Was quite easy actually and I think will work well enough for now.  It's pretty cool to control XMR-Stak and see hash rates and profit show up in AM.  I would like to also do the same for Cast XMR but I can't find any way to get hash rates out of it.
Same, just what you did there except I used the CCminer API.


Have you had any issues with Stak locking up during GPU initialization (usually on device 0)?  This seems to happen if you restart Stak too quickly after it was running.

I believe it is more of a driver issue than anything - I just reboot and fire it back up.

CAST has no API to use, you're stuck using STAK for the time.

Does it run with out using Awesome miner ? ....if not what is the popup error it gives with out Awesome miner you may need to install something like:  vc_redist.x64.exe I have noticed in the past if something is not installed  on your PC Awesome won't work with some soft ware miner an not tell you why or everything, you many need to run it directly to see if there is a error of some kind the miner may still shut down without awesome running, if it does then it's a setting you need to find out what that is ... i have also had some pools not work well with awesome miner running but that same pool will if i don't use awesome miner with the same settings i used with awesome miner ..

This problem only happen to my GTX1070 Rigs (Rig 1 and 2) and not for GTX1060 Rig (Rig3)below could be why the two PC don't have everything they need and the new one does ? .

Does it run with out using Awesome miner ? ....if not what is the popup error it may give with out Awesome miner you may need to install something like:  vc_redist.x64.exe on those two pc.

or wait for the next update of Awesome to come out with Dstm Zcash Miner support that software miner does work  better then EWBF software miner or seems to, the only reason i don't use it now is I like Using Awesome miner more .

I have a mix of 4 Nv cards with a 1070 ti coming some time next week.
an i have  two AMD rigs with 4 cards each i may add one more card each to sense the prices for Amd cards are dropping in the US again .


Hi,
It runs smooth even with AM when run manually. It only happen when Profit switcher changes from a coin to another with Equihash (not everytime).
Therefore I asked Patrike for his help.
But anyway thanks for your suggestion !!
I've identified a scenario where the Offline Detection didn't work for Managed Miners, and I think this was the scenario you were running into before. The next version will correct this.

Hi, I updated to ver. 4.2.1 but still facing same problem (I tried to set rule to find offline again, but didn't help).

I found a workaround for AM not being able to launch XMR-Stak due to the elevated permissions requirements.  Need to set local group policy Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options -> User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode to Disabled.  I don't like having to do that as it apparently weakens security but at least it works now.  Hopefully the Stak devs can find a permanent code fix.

How do i set up my ASICs to do external profit switching? I think ive got the program configured right, not sure if i need the remote program too though? Awesome miner is so confusing :/
Hi,
Please follow this guide that both describes how the concept works and how to configure. It's basically just a click in a checkbox to setup:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx#externalprofit

But how can it be just a click in a checkbox if it says in the documentation that it does not change the pools on the ASIC so you have to do this manually?  So what settings are needed on the ASICs? and why does it say in documentation "The setting for Nicehash, zpool and Mining Pool Hub in Options dialog, Profit switching section, should not be filled in for the External Profit Switcher"...

It underlines not to fill in some settings....so where do you fill in the information? what happens if you do fill in the info? will it not work lol, what information is it even talking about, this program and documentation is so confusing...
The main concept for the External Profit Switcher is actually very simple, and is described in in the very first point:
"For External Profit Switching, Awesome Miner will not add or change any pools on the miner. The profit switcher will only look at the pools already defined on the miner and change the priority of them. The priority is set based on profitability. "

What the External Profit Switcher is doing is to look at all the pools on the Antminer, and you can see these in the Pools tab at the bottom of the screen in Awesome Miner, and set priority based on profitability.

The pools you already defined on your Antminers (probably three of them) are already available, but you can of course add more. You can add them manually via Awesome Miner for example, where you define them via the "New pool" button in the toolbar. Then you can add it to your Antminer from the Pools tab at the bottom of the screen. All the pools you have on the Antminer will be considered by the profit switcher, but Awesome Miner will never do any add/remove pools operations automatically for you. The profit switcher is operating only by setting priorities that makes the Antminer change to the most profitable pool.

The settings about "Nicehash, zpool, ..." and so on are for the Managed Profit Switcher used for GPU mining, where you have many more complex scenarios because of multiple mining software and algorithms. None of these settings relate to profit switching on an Antminer. It doesn't matter if you fill in these settings, they will be completely ignored by the External Profit Switcher for your Antminer.


Ok thanks ive got it working for my L3+'s easily but when i try to add the default pools to my S9's no pools show up.  I know zpool has sha256, am i doing something wrong or?

I have all implementation for connecting to it as an External Miner ready, but it's currently hidden.

For the moment I have given up on adding support for it as a Managed Miner because this mining software do so many strange things, for example:
- It requires running as Administrator, which creates all sorts of problems when you want to auto start it or launch it from another applications. It's probably the first mining software ever that has this behavior.
- It doesn't simply auto detect devices like other mining software. It looks like it tries to detect the first time and then update the configuration file, but it would be too complex for Awesome Miner to know if it will work or now. I can just imagine all the support question I will get around how this software handles its configuration file and prompting the user for input on the command line when something is missing.

Even if I only support it as an External Miner, you could still add your own Managed Software, point to the XMR-Stak for API compatibility and then create a Managed Miner for this where you point to your xmr-stak.exe file. As long as Awesome Miner is running as Administrator (or you have some configuration of Windows to bypass this), it will behave like any other Managed Miner - but you are in charge of all configuration yourself.

Any thoughts on how to get the AM Remote to be able to launch xmr-stak because of the elevated permissions issue?    That is the only thing holding me back from getting this all working.  I thought I had it working by having AM launch my adapter app and the app then launches XMR-Stak and that does work but the problem is when I stop the miner in AM it only shuts down my app and not XMR-Stak as well.  

If I'm not mistaken this XMR mining pool has a nice how to on how to set up XMR-Stak miner or Sgminer and use it with Windows, it tells you how to set up Group Policity's in windows 10 ... not sure if this is what you mean or are looking for .

I mine XMR with my GPU's from time to time.

This might help some I hate UAC i mean i  hate it and have it completely off Disabling it Through Group Policy's with no side effects ... with a clean install of Windows 10 Work station Pro.

Would you look into adding ahashpool.com as a supported Mining pool?

It is very similar to zpool.ca with autoexchange, but doesn't take the significant cut in the exchange fees.  They fixed the bug in the Yiimp software that I pointed out elsewhere on the forums.   The setup is almost identical to zpool.  Would be very interested in seeing it in the profit switching compared to the other pools.

Using multipoolminer I am seeing an average of $7-8/day on my 1080Ti compared to the $5 that I see using Zpool.

Also it seems that Bitcore, Xevan, Phi, and Hsr would be good algorithms to add since they do offer some decent profit over others at times.
