Yes, if you notice incorrect behavior at some point, I need to know what you think is incorrect so I can compare that to what Awesome Miner is doing. Awesome Miner could have done the wrong calculations but taken the correct actions based on that (still wrong end result) or Awesome Miner could have done the same calculations as you, but taken an incorrect action. In order for me to understand the scenario and correct it, I need to see the log files what is going on.

I know that those spinner controls can be a bit strange when it comes to entering a value using the keyboard. But the actual up/down buttons should always make it possible to go down to 1, as far as I can see.

Awesome Miner is looking at both the Online multi-pool services (Nicehash, zpool, MPH) and the individual coins (WhatToMine) to figure out the profitability.

For the services like Nicehash, Awesome Miner has no idea of which coin is used, which is why the Nicehash profit API is used to get this information. Similar for zpool and MPH. All this information is displayed on the Online services tab in Awesome Miner.

For specific coins WhatToMine is used as the source for profitability information. This information is displayed on the Coins tab in Awesome Miner. You can also define your own custom coins (Options dialog, Coins&Profit section), but then you need to enter coin information manually. In the Statistics section it's possible to add additional coins listed on WhatToMine but not on their main page, but all coins are not found there.

The profit switcher requires profit information in order to know which pool to use, so it can look at both the information on the Online Services and Coins tabs in order to make decisions. What it actually uses is defined on this page:



If you select Nicehash only, Awesome Miner will do profit switching on the Nicehash pools only. WhatToMine will not be used for anything.

If you select Nicehash and zpool, Awesome Miner will do profit switch on the Nicehash and zpools, but still not use WhatToMine for anything.

If you select to add a Custom pool as well, then Awesome Miner needs to know the profitability of this pool. So it uses the coin you defined for the pool to look at WhatToMine. It will also look at your own custom coins. It needs to find the profit information somewhere, otherwise it will be considered unknown (zero).

To add multiple custom pools to the profit switcher, define a Pool Group containing all the pools you want Awesome Miner to do profit switching on.

Looking at logs, Awesome Miner checks for "profitability information" for all selected coins, except SIGT.
Maybe that's why it doesn't pick SIGT even if it is at top of whattomine list.

That is odd, because Nicehash isn't mining specific coin, and they aren't showing what coin they are mining, zpool does, but zpool profitability is available through API.
i have tried both pools and kept watching profitability, miners were jumping from one pool to another as soon as profitability increased.

About profit switching, I would like to switch pools according to most profitable coin (whattomine list).

- I have all nvidia cards; according to whattomine, my most profitable coins usually are SIGT, KMD, HUSH, LBC, ZEC.
- I configured a pool for each coin (all at suprnova) and then grouped them in a pool group.
- In options -> profit switching I enabled managed profit switching, disabled nicehash/zpool/mph, enabled my pool group as custom pool.
- I then added a profit switching miner using nvidia profile.
- In coin list (clicked "update") I can see SIGT as most profitable, but if I start my profit miner it fires up equihash miner for KMD suprnova pool.
- After "x" minutes, it switches pool (I think it asked whattomine for most profitable coin), but it select HUSH even if SIGT is still the most profitable in that moment, followed by LBC.

I am missing something, but I am unable to find out where my mistake is.

Like, do you want me to start profit switching and then note a period it should have switched, but didnt and state which algo?

Also im not sure if this is a graphical glitch, i noticed when i clicked the down arrows it stopped at 5 minutes, but i just tried manually entering 1 minute and it seems to have accepted it... If i move back over 5 minutes and click the arrows down, it goes down as far as 5 minutes, then stops at 5...

Patrike may be able to correct me if im wrong, but from my understanding and experience it seems that profit switching is not based on the api settings under online services list, it seems to profit switch based on the "coin" tab list... which is not dependent on any specific pool, it uses a calculation between your hashrate and the exchange rate price and difficulty to determine the profitability list. So having multiples of the same coin on different pools may be pointless...

I have used the profit switching part of the AM very little and when i did it seemed to switch based on which is list # 1 coin under coin tab regardless whats listed on online services....

I have done that, but where to add API for that pool to ensure it utilizes profitability just like zpool and nicehash does.

Important: The Remote Agent must also be upgraded.

Development Previews can be enabled from the Options dialog, General section. Then Menu -> Check for updates. If you need access to the MSI files for manual installation:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMiner.msi
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi

Don't downgrade to version 3.2 once you installed the new development versions.

The next development release will include more new features, and all this will result in a 4.0 release early September according to the current plans.

1) Many exchanges actually move away your coins from the wallet address to some secure place. So from a blockchain point of view, many exchanges stores 0 BTC on your wallet address. This is why Awesome Miner (and any blockchain explorer) see 0.

2) I wasn't able to reproduce this. When starting sgminer, don't you see something like "API running in IP access mode on port 4028"? The actual port number can be different. From what I can see that works with MPH Groestl. Can you try to click the Diagnostics button to see if what configuration and command line from Awesome Miner looks correct? You could also try to generate an API report to see if it contains any information from the mining software (toolbar: Tools -> API report)

Yes. In Options dialog, Profit switching section, you can add a custom pool. This can either be a single pool you have defined, or a pool group if you want to add many. You need to define this pool yourself first (Options dialog, Pools section).

It should be possible to set it to 1 minute. Can you please send me the log file and indicate at what time you expected another behavior than what Awesome Miner did?

New premium user (using 3.2.5, but same issues with 3.2) and I have a couple problems I'd appreciate any insight on:

1)  Coin balances don't appear to be working.  Have added LTC, and BTC and both are showing 0 balances with appropriate wallet addresses (just my bittrex addresses) in address field.

2)  SgMiner-5.6.1 auto downloaded and installed as managed profit miner seems to start the API interface but AM is not seeing it.  This is with MPH (trying to mine Groestl) only enabled as ZP and NH are disabled pending the pricing (hashrate) fix for those two.

Thanks for any help!

@patrike is there a way to add another pool to profit switch list?

I wanted to add prohashing.com to managed profit switching list but unable to do so... only zpool and nicehash is there

Ah, ok... just wish they would stick to a standard.. really annoying.. Noticed Whattomine added skunkhash to the main page now

Nicehash changed their reporting from GH/s to TH/s on a few algorithms, and zpool just did the same for some of them as well.
There will be a new development release within a day to adjust according to these changes.

PROBLEM SOLVED BY INSTALLING .NET FRAMEWORK 4.5.2 IN CASE ANYONE ELSE HAS/HAD THIS

Patrike,

Can you take a look at the Profit Switching interval, i have been mining directly for a few weeks due to SIGT hotness, but wanted to go back to profit switching and set it up lastnight on a few coins, it seemed to always switch every 30 minutes no matter if i had it set to 5 minutes or 30 minutes...

Also can you adjust this to allow switching down to 1 minute intervals please.

Also i think Nicehash has changed something on you.. getting odd price

I added that as an optional step because when i was setting up skunkhash through your managed software properties, i enabled it there, but when i started the miner it still defaulted to auto mode, i had to manually add the -a code to get it to work for me.
