Question regarding upgrade to VER 4.0 :
I used the update/upgrade button within the UI which had a notification about update.
When it performs the upgrade (which looked like it happened) the update notification is still present. Should I install from direct download?
And if I do , should I uninstall current version first?
Also, do I need to manually update the agent software for each rig? I did not see an update option from the agent task button.
Please advise the proper way to update my version (Enterprise last release) I did check FAQs before posting and didn't see anything.
Thank you very much!
UPDATE:
I installed the update using website download and it is working now did not update remote agents yet

I imagine that mining is not possible with AMD and Nvidia in the same Rig correct?
Yes you can mix cards. I am currently running two 570s, two 580s, a GTX 1070 and a GTX 1060 in one rig. The only problem I had was with each RX card I added I had to uninstall and reinstall the AMD driver before Windows would work with all the AMD cards. Nvidia cards are so much nicer, they just work, no BIOS modding or anything. If 1070s were < $300 that's all I would use.
With Nicehash software there is no problem, so my be is not s a driver problem.
About your question of showing profit in mBTC/day as Nicehash. Awesome Miner is only showing the profit information in USD/day. This can be changed to other local currencies or to Bitcoin in Options dialog, Coins&Profit section. However, it will only show the profit information in one currency (USD or BTC or something else), not two or more.

Well the ALLCOINS and ALLPOOLS settings in the Claymore section isn't working again. This is really annoying.
Can you let us know in more detail what isn't working here. If you click the Diagnostics button, can you see that Awesome Miner pass this information to the Claymore miner? Or is it passed to Claymore, but it still doesn't work? September 11, 2017, 11:28:31 AM

Sorry guys I'm just trying to improve your product which is already pretty good.
I would like to bring your attention to improving the auto profit switching for the most profitable currency in a 24 hour time frame. Why, Nicehash has this time frame to make the payment (also Whattomine have this time frame) then if the most prof. coin X is mined in 24 hours the payment related to that time frame/coin will be done. So the profit can be reviewed every 24 hours, I do not know if I explained my self clearly probably not. Is just an idea, this not mean i'm right.
ps: What I see in my tests for some reason the auto profit switching for the most profitable currency some times getting stuck in the previous currency when clearly Nicehash and Miningpool pools already has other more profitable coins, even after long periods of 24 and 48 hours. ( I set to check every 30 min)

Any possible way to run Awesome miner (not Remote agent) on 2 different pc's with exact same config and sort of sync with each other?
That's unfortunately not possible. You can copy the configuration file (%AppData%\AwesomeMiner\ConfigData.xml), but the file is only read when the application is starting.Thanks for the reply.
I will only be running 1 instance at a time, can maybe put config on shared drive.
Can we change the location/path of the config file? Maybe in registry somewhere?
All good, I understand. thanks

Please someone could refer an IOS app for the use of the AM API?
Thanks
Thanks
If you are using the web server feature of AM, then any web browser will do. If you mean a true app that interfaces with the AM API, I'm not aware of any. If you are a good IOS or Android app developer, then I'm sure that would be a neat revenue stream for you. Patrike encourages other developers to create bolt-ons. I'm considering diving into a bolt-on for data mining analysis.
It's correct that the mobile web is the only option right now, as there are no mobile apps. As puwaha pointed out, anyone can develop applications and apps on top of Awesome Miner using the API:http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/api.aspx
The Awesome Miner web interface is built on top of this API.
Thanks again,
If I have a fixed IP it's easy with DNS, I do not like the idea of having to install a DNS ip monitor. At the moment i'm using TeamViewer isn't good to manage it
I'm sure have seen app that work with API, I have to find them again.

maybe a noob question but can i directly mine using this software or is this just a monitoring application ?
Yes, you can directly mine using Awesome Miner. It has a lot of the most recent mining applications built in like the various flavors of Claymore, EWBF, CCMiner, Excavator, sgminer and more. It will also allow you to add in your own custom mining software if needed. You can also monitor and control some "external" miners, which are applications or rigs that are not directly controlled by Awesome Miner... like if you have an ASIC miner or a linux based miner.

Thank you!
Everything is working as expected. One of the problems was Windows Firewall.
The concept of profit switch is very crazy, in a few minutes I have mined more than 7 different coins. I set to update profitability every 1 minute for testing. If the numbers I am seeing are true my profit will go up ~10%. I do not understand why the big miners do not do it.
Quote
I caution you to be careful about your estimations. I know you are just testing with a 1 minute profit switch, but you have to realize that you are only mining a profitable coin at that instant. By the time you go to exchange with your accumulated coins they will not be at the same level of profitability. If you are just accumulating various coins to exchange later when the exchange rate is high, that's fine. But... If you are depending on pool auto-switchers, or pool threshold minimums sending to an exchange, then you will more than likely miss your "peak profit window" unless you have a large group of miners to accumulate enough coins to get there in time.
Also, you probably already know this, but a profit switch time of 1 minute is too low. You will lose valuable time in that 1 minute window while the software is switched, and the GPUs ramp up. Depending on the algo and software, it can take 30 seconds or more to really ramp up, so you could be losing 50% of your potential earnings by ramping up every minute.
As always, do your own real-world tests, but I think you'll find what I'm saying is true. Most large farms don't switch so often, and go for consistently strong coins most of the time or diversify across a set of the most profitable.

yep I know about it, I would like to see if changes and not freeze. I set 30 min to see, I will change to 24Hs, but I still deciding what to do
- I am seeing many inconsistencies, I have other rigs with high profits that AM is not replicating.
Mining interface offline happening very often, this ends with the calculations
Every time I do a coin benchmark, this coin begins to be mined. But not necessarily is the most profitable.
Quote
I do not know if I'm correct, but is it mandatory to benchmark one or all of the GPUs so that the profit profile correctly chooses the best ratio?
Quote
I would say yes, because the default values that come in the built-in profit profiles are very rough estimates. There are many factors that will cause your GPUs to be higher or lower than the default values... GPU silicon lottery, over/underclocking, and general system performance to name a few. You want your real-world values to be in the profit profile, otherwise AM can make a wrong decision for you. FOr instance, if you don't set your true dual-mining Dcred value, then AM may decide that your ETH+Dcred values are very high and start mining with it... thinking it is the most profitable when it probably isn't.
benchmark should be mandatory soon setting up a new miner for each gpu
Quote
It is possible in the next versions to include Ratio counter: x.xxxx BTC/Day because this is the only way to make profit comparisons between rigs and GPUs of different currencies and MHs, Hs, Sols, GH / s
Can you explain this a little more?
Exemple of one of my rigs
https://image.ibb.co/eNxv4F/Capture.jpg
Quote
When mining with EWBF Zcash, the interface (my miners) goes offline but still mining, I do not know if this is a bug but it always happens.
Quote
I've seen this happen from time to time as well. I haven't verified this, by my suspicion is that the rig may be taxed a bit when this happens.
now it's happening a lot, I'm mining ETC and LBC at Nicehash as exemple
Thanks for the feed back, I will continue with the tests here

Hey Patrike.
We have 5 customizable coins's prices in the bottom of the screen. Can we have an option to add more? There is space.

It happened again, and it quickly restored after 5 mins.
I tryed this coinbase address on mining pc with Chrome / Edge few times.
I get one line json always, just with btc price!?
Got this with Chrome:
at 00:13h
{"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"ILS","amount":"15098.09"}}
at 00:15h
{"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"ILS","amount":"15113.67"}}

{"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"ILS","amount":"15107.02"}}
at 00:20h
{"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"USD","amount":"4300.00"}}
And with Edge:
at 00:21h
{"data":{"base":"BTC","currency":"USD","amount":"4301.45"},"warnings":[{"id":"missing_version","message":"Please supply API version (YYYY-MM-DD) as CB-VERSION header","url":"https://developers.coinbase.com/api#versioning"}]}
Times are CET.
OS is Win10 Enterprise Evaluation. I recently updated Awe to v4.0. Before I didn't noticed this.
As I don't have Firefox on mining PC, I tried in Firefox on different pc in totally different lan and provider, and I get the same one line reply like Edge/mining pc.
Many thanks for providing this information. It looks like the first three times you used Chrome and requested the statistics from Coinbase API, it actually gave you these crazy values. This is the reason why Awesome Miner also displayed high exchange value for BTC, because it looks at the same kind of data that you posted above.I tryed this coinbase address on mining pc with Chrome / Edge few times.

This may be just a temporary issue at Coinbase, because there API has been very stable for the last three years. Let's keep an eye on this one for a little while and see if we need to report this to Coinbase.
Awesome Miner do support getting Bitcoin exchange rates from Bitstamp as well. You can configure in Options dialog, Statistics section.

Anybody knows how this happened? AM counts with Ether price more than 1000$???
It happened two times today. Prices of btc and eth are wrong, too high, so it gives wrong calculations of profit.
After 30mins prices were ok again. Too good to be true.
I've never seen that before. Awesome Miner is using Coinbase for BTC exchange rate. Next time it happens, can you try to manually open this link in the web browser, which is what Awesome Miner is using to request current rate from Coinbase:It happened two times today. Prices of btc and eth are wrong, too high, so it gives wrong calculations of profit.
After 30mins prices were ok again. Too good to be true.

I noticed yesterday until the miner's display it showed my miner had 2 hardware errors but when I went to the GPUs tab all of my six GPUs showed zero errors. What's up with that?
This is reported a bit differently depending on mining software. I will assume you use Claymore miner for the moment. This software is capable of reporting hardware errors (or Invalid Shares to be exact). The Claymore miner is however only able to report the total number for the miner, not per GPU. For this reason it can show up as 2 errors in the miner list, but when you look in the GPU list, you will see 0. The reason is that it's simply now known which GPU caused these.
