For dev. i'm interested to buy new avalon 741.
Awesome miner support it??
Avalon 7 miners are supported. I've received reports from users that these miners works fine with Awesome Miner.


I have a new batch of 75 Avalon installed but i cannot manage to make awesome miner find them with the wizard (new miner- network scan - sgminer)

Please help!

Thanks!
Can you check the API permissions on that cgminer instance for Avalon? I think it is disabled by default. You can share the configuration file (cgminer.conf or similar) with me if you want and I can try to guide you.

Edit: Thanks to another user with Avalon 741, I got a suggestion to look for the following in the Avalon configuration: Status -> CGMiner Configuration. Then you should find API Allow setting.

How many Avalon miners have you connected to each Raspberry Pi controller?


Right now 20 Avalon x raspberry pi3 (maximun allowed)
Working at 115% ... very very nice hardware!
Thanks for the tips i will try this in the farm.

Once you have Awesome Miner connected to your R-Pi, can you please send me an API report for it (toolbar: Tools -> API Report)? From what I've seen so far this R-Pi based solution doesn't provide any good device information (temperature and so on) from the Avalon miners. In the past when people used a single Avalon 721, it did report temperature and more.

I just started using this software to manage my miners. I switched out from using Ethos to this. One of the biggest issues I have with this software so far is that when it detects a failed miner it just gives up on trying to restart the miner and then the miner just sits there. There should be an option to restart the miner regardless of how many failures there are. I am constantly having to go in and restart the miners when the issue was a miner software crash with one particular miner software. This is the number one detractor from the software and is what will prevent people from using it full scale. I can manage this in alternative ways (power monitor resetting the computer) but then I have other issues because the services are not starting.

  • Doesn't start the MSI After Burner Remote Server when restarting the machine
  • Manager gives up trying to start the miner if there are several errors in a row.
  • Fails to apply the GPU overclock profiles on restart or relaunch of Afterburner software

By default Awesome Miner tries to restart a process three times. If it fails three times within a short period of times, Awesome Miner actually gives up. If the mining software has been running for a few minutes, it will reset this counter and you will have another three times of restart available.

If you want to take further actions after three times, you can use the Rules (Options dialog, Rules section) for that. You have a trigger "Process failure" that will be triggered in this scenario. You can define define your actions - maybe to give you a notification and then try to start the miner again.

The MSI Afterburner Remote Server is a bit difficult to auto start because it requires Admin permissions and doesn't have any built-in concept for that. Awesome Miner can however setup this for you, so have you followed these steps? Please share more details on this if you already have and it isn't working.
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/gpuclocking.aspx

I'm not sure I fully understand the scenario with a restarted MSI Afterburner. If you simply restart that software (close it, then start it), how would that affect the GPU Clocking profiles? Sorry if I missed the point here.

First of all I want to say that I'm using awesomeminer to monitor 10+ S9s and after 6+ month of using it I'm more than happy that I have this software, thanks to developers and awesome team building a thing like this.


Question time:
SO far with S9s all is good, now I want to test it on my GPU rigs, considering that I have clusters of GPU farms (20; 50; 250 rigs).
The only issue with GPU farms after these years is that some of them needs to be restarted after they freeze. I'm using for it custom build relay modules, you can telnet to it and reboot any rig it is connected to. So I was wondering if awesomeminer can monitor the GPU rig and use a trigger after some kind of alarm, lets say if hashrate drops for some time can it restart the rig from the bat file or simply just trigger a bat file? And second one is that if it can directly  connect to my relay module with telnet and run the command? And last one, I'm pretty sure I have to install some kind of client software on the rig itself right?
Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, you can use the Rules (Options dialog, Rules section) in Awesome Miner to define this kind of behavior. You have some examples of how to configure the rules on this page:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/rules.aspx
There is an example where you detect low hashrate and send a notification based on that. You can just extend that behavior to have two actions. The first one could still be to send the notification, but in addition to that you can add another action as well. The second action can be to run an executable - maybe launch a bat-file you have that will take further actions.

I wasn't able to reproduce that issue. So it filters away every single GPU when you enter "intel"?
I will add more log for the next version so we can track down that problem.


yes, nothing shows up anytime I enter any value under the ignore gpu by name.   

A seperate issue -  I just switched over to solomining so my accepted rate is a lot lower as compared to pool mining.   I keep getting notifications that 'Accepted has not increased in the last 8 mins'.  Is there any way to turn off this notification?
Next version will have some debug statements when the Ignore GPU feature is filtering away GPUs. In next version, look for "MSI Afterburner, ignore rule" in the log file.

The notification is because of a rule that you have enabled. Go to Options dialog, Rules section. It's probably the predefined rule for Accept Progress. Either you disable the rule completely, or you open the properties for it and specify that it should only be applied to specific miners. Then you can select which miners it should be applied for.

I have two questions that I've come up with as I'm using this software more and more.
- I found an earlier post about auto benchmarking for profit switching. Is this still in the works?
- Do you plan to support excavator server 1.2.9a? It seems like the start structure of it has changed significantly from the previous excavator so pointing the existing profile to it doesn't seem to make sense. Also, will you allow for overclocking settings to pass through to excavator or better to let afterburner continue to handle that?
Benchmarking is part of the latest development release. See this post for details:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21204182

Excavator 1.2.x will be supported in the future, but it's major changes to how that version of the software operates compared to the previous versions, so it's a significant implementation effort. Also, this miner hasn't really been a major success yet from what I can tell.

Will this miner be added / supported ? 

Excavator v1.3.0a_NVIDIA GPU Miner for NiceHash  -- It comes with the latest version of Nicehash 2.0.1.0. beta.
I suppose the answer is still the same. I will add support for Excavator later on, and of course it will be the latest version of it at that point. It's will however be some effort to do it, so it needs to be prioritized among all other feature requests.

Profit switching - Bitcoin address per miner

The pools used for the profit switching feature are configured in the Options dialog, Profit switching section. For the built-in pools like Nicehash, there is only a single field to enter the Bitcoin address to mine to. This address will be used for all Managed Profit Miners.

To set unique Bitcoin addresses per Managed Profit Miner, the Bitcoin address field can be set to - (a dash). Each Managed Profit Miner must now specify a Bitcoin address in the Add to worker name setting.

However this only works for MiningPoolHub.  On the managed profit miner properties, there is no field for nicehash/zpool btc address.  So my add to worker field has [mph username].[worker name] and that's it.

To be more succinct: using a Managed Profit Miner, and when specifying '-' in the fields for Options -> Profit Switching -> Managed Profit Switching, I can only either use a zpool/nicehash btc address, by specifying that address in Managed Profit Miner Properties -> Mining Pool -> 'add to worker name', or I can use a miningPoolHub account by specifying [mph username].[worker name].  I cannot do both, and I would like to be able to so that I can have different sets of nicehash/zpool/MPH addresses/usernames across different managed profit miners.

The email notification from could is not coming.

Any plans for an android app to keep the cloud logged? A simple bookmark is not helping, also regarding SMS , if a simple android app would be build to push notifications could be sent throw phone direct, so it will not need the SMS anymore.

The e-mail notification for Awesome Miner application being offline? I just verified it and it worked for me. You do need to close Awesome Miner (or make it unavailable in some other way) for this one to trigger. It's not a generic e-mail notification for any standard mining issues.

A "Remember me" option will be added later on, to keep you logged in.

I've been looking at Telegram for messages. Is that what you had in mind? This will probably be implemented together with WebHooks later on as third party notification targets - similar to how E-mail and SMS messages are supported today.

I am getting the emails still from my SMTP server , not from the cloud service. Since it has a heart beat option it should send notification when device is offline, but I don't get any could email.

Telegram could be a solution but from my own experience the message sometimes are not sent from sender or have huge delay  or the receiver having huge lag to get them.

For example if you make an application available in the Android market or even just the .apk and we install it with the accept of unknown sources. This application could just load the browser and have a push notification.
The push notification service available for Android or even iOS is the most clean and simple one, without delay and impossible to miss it, like that you will not be dependent on any operator. 

Also this could be achieved even without your own application, but using a 3rd party api for example pushover.net or pushed.co where the costs are very small compared with sms.
The standard notification feature inside Awesome Miner is not yet using the Cloud for sending e-mail, only the SMTP server you configured. There will be a setting quite soon where you will be able to define if e-mail messages should be sent via your SMTP server or via the Cloud. The main benefit of using the Cloud Services here would be to not having to configure all SMTP settings manually.

Thanks for your input on Telegram vs Pushover. My understanding was that Telegram is quite popular, but as you point out that may not be the same as being the best service.

The ignore GPU's by name doesn't seem to be working. 

I'm trying to get it to ignore Intel gpu's, but everytime i put in a name, and start up the afterburner settings from awesomeminer, nothing ever gets displayed.

Patrike,

I've used awesomeminer for about six weeks and just found this thread, thanks for being so active.

Is there a 3.2.6 version for the remote service?  If so, each time I try to remotely upgrade, I get a status bar and then it disappears.  Additionally, the link you posted earlier (http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteAgent.msi) is stale.

I'm using Hamachi to connect to a physically remote miner, and the remote agent connection is failing.  My awesomeminer service lists the remote agent as 'stopped', but when I try to launch a miner, all buttons but 'reboot computer' become grayed out--and the reboot computer button does not function.  This miner functioned properly prior to the 3.2.6 update.  I attempted to unisntall/reinstall the remote agent on the miner in question but I still get the same issues.  Note that I have two other miners running over hamachi/remote service v3.2 and I don't have any issues.

Also, is there any chance that the managed profit miner can point to a different set of MPH/NH/zpool addresses?  I have a use case where I want to point different groups of miners to different MPH usernames/NH btc addresses from the same instance of awesomeminer; currently I can only point all of my managed profit miners to one set of addresses/usernames.
Thanks for pointing out the incorrect link in my previous post - I've updated it now. It should be:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi

Are you running v3.2.6 on both Awesome Miner and the Remote Agents? Mixed versions are not supported. If you try the Diagnostics button, do you get any additional information? If not, please send me the log file via mail (toolbar: Tools -> Log file) and indicate the time of the failure.

The updated link worked and solved all issues, thanks.

Is the aforementioned feature request a possibility? 
Is scenario #3 in this guide similar what you are looking for?
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/workername.aspx
To specify "-" for a pool or Nicehash/zcash bitcoin address, and then define the worker name for each miner instead?

So this part applies, partially:
