Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 510. (Read 703113 times)

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

I don't mind managing the configuration myself, the main thing is I want to be able to start/stop the miner and get hash rate and coin profit.

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 :/

Awesome Miner version 4.2.1

- Profit switcher can be configured with a threshold to not make a switch on small profit improvements
- Configurable to display Antminer chip temperature in the miner list
- Configurable to display average temperature in the miner list
- Added feature to faster find a miner in the list, via the new Find toolbar
- Command line parameters configurable per pool for the profit switcher in the Options dialog, Online Services section.
- A miner group can be defined as the default group for adding new miners
- Network scan for External Miners will only consider IP address, not port, to identify if it's a new miner
- DSTM Zcash Cuda Miner supported
- Correction to Offline Detection of Managed Miners

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 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.

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 .
