Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 553. (Read 703512 times)

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.

Maybe an idea for future updates. Some statistics and sums for Balance column?
Sometimes i get (Update failed) for BTC balance is it normal?

Not an issue, I really like the software it's pretty damned snazzy and I am running the latest version at 3.2.7.

I have UAC set to not notify me and I do see the proper path in the log file for the location and the proper account is called out to run it. I think the issue is I am using the profit miner configs instead of managed miners. I don't see an option in the Profit miners for a "GPU clocking profile", so I assume it won't launch the app?

The CPU miner appears to not have any path set like I have seen with the other diagnostic returns. (https://pastebin.com/dkHhJuV5) I had to switch to core2 for stability but this command line works. cpuminer-core2.exe -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20486 --algo=groestl -u username.cpu -p x

I am trying to replicate the issue with the managed miner on another machine.

Thank you for your reply, it's awesome to know the dev is in the forum answering posts. The rules option should handle the issue I am having with the miner stopping and not starting again.  Thanks for pointing that out, I added a rule this morning and it appears to be doing the trick.

I did follow the MSI guide on setting up the account and putting the files in the same location on the miners and it appears to not work according to the settings. I noticed that the MSI remote server also doesn't start when added to the start menu or run under HKCU or HKLM either on any of the machines. No errors appear on the server regarding a failure to launch and manually launching it works as expected. As for the GPU settings, I was using the profit miner setup which doesn't have the GPU functionality built into it so it's not applying the profiles. To work around this, I selected a safe overclock inside of MSI. The issue with MSI is more when the application never starts and I need to start it after the fact. When I manually start it after the fact, I have to manually apply the overclock since there is no GPU functionality. If this was added to the profit miner option that would resolve the issue since it's applied at restart and stop.

I found these additional issues while continuing to setup and work with this.

• Dual mining wattage option not saved when exiting options under algorithms, it does save properly under the profit switching profile.
• Profit Miner won't switch to new coin if it missed the "window" to switch. Forcing a restart on the miner does not cause it to switch to the new coin if a miner has already selected an algorithm (https://puu.sh/xo9HM/c3642b5b28.PNG) and the the profit switching subsequently changed to a higher paying coin. The miner that has selected the algorithm will not switch to the higher paying coin until the time limit has expired to switch once again even if restarting the service. The existing new coin data should be pushed out to the miner.
• Miners crash and hang and the remote service cannot see this issue. To correct this issue I turned off the Dialog box for Windows Error Reporting, this causes the miner software "ok error box to never appear and the miner application just exits. This may be something to add into the functionality, an option to identify the OK dialog or information on how to eliminate the Dialog box via the registry.
• Command line miner CPUMiner-opt 3.4.6 exits out indicating "algo_gate registration failed, unknown algo". I attempted to add an algo option and this did not resolve the issue.
• Managed Miner dual mode is set to disabled; however, the miner has ignored that setting and is mining a secondary coin even despite the fact I only have a single pool/coin selected.

Error
DMD does not belong to groestl. It has a dmd-gr algorithm. Because of this, there are errors in the extraction!

please help me the miner dosent star by the automatic profitswitching option......the only way to get the pool is over the commandline.....for claymor eth miner it works....but for the claymor monero miner he dosent work......he is connected but there only job timeouts....how can i fixed this ?

So I've done my reading and so far have 6 GPU rigs working flawlessly as managed miners with custom uploaded SPMOD8 on SIGT.

Now I'm looking at adding equihash and skein mining capabilities.

I have successful edited the managed miner and manually started mining equihash and skein with no issues. However, I'm looking at automating things so I can switch my rigs quickly to each algo and a specified pool.


From my understanding templates is ideal for this. Since different rigs require different intensities or custom difficulties is it advised to create multiple specialized template per rig?

Or can I create blanket template and implement custom intensities and difficulties somewhere in the managed miner's custom command line which will save per algo after applying an algo specific template.

Thanks in advance! Great piece of software so far

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.

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

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?

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?

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!

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?

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.

Avalon 7 miners are supported. I've received reports from users that these miners works fine with Awesome Miner.
