Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 564. (Read 703143 times)

I was curious if maybe there is a better way of going about this...

Since SIGT hit block 30k, the profit has stumbled down to the middle of the pack on profits, so i started moving my rigs back over ZEC inside of AM, so what i find annoying is i have to go into each managed miner and change the software on each, then select new pool... wouldn't be better if the software associated with what coin is being mined is tag on the pool and not the managed miner? just curious what others feel about this or maybe im overlooking a easier way of moving them over...

Yes, I will add that in the next version

Starting hidden and starting minimized are different, and in fact it's not easy to get a miner console application starting minimized (it can be forced minimized after starting). The feature to run the miner console application hidden is already supported by the configuration in the Managed Miners. I can add the same settings to the Managed Profit Miners as well.

Maybe you messed this one:


It is very annoying when the new miner window steals the focus ... whats even worse: Hitting the space bar and the very wrong moment will actually pause the intrusive miner

So please start miners hidden... TIA! 

Thanks for the feedback - I've identified the problem. I will make a new release later today with a correction and a few other updates.

Yes, can't make it work.

Well, not really. click through license limitations are really not enforceable. But in any case, you can get around it by embedding a web browser window inside AM that will display the "releases" page or whatever. You could even have AM parse the returned page and discard all parts of the page except the link (they can't enforce a copyright on or enforce a process on the download mechanism of GitHub). The AM user must manually click the download link which makes them responsible for the download, not you. But at the user click AM can intercept the link activation (since it is an owned browser window) and make sure the download goes to a know place where AM can extract it to the right folder and configure it for the end user.

I'm not a lawyer, but I've had over 20 years of experience in IP (both patents and copyrights) and have several device patents (no software patents) to my name. The browser is a part of Windows. There is no fundamental difference, from a license standpoint, if your application launches the browser window as an embedded owned browser window and intercepts and process the users explicit request within the context of the user's desire to add it as a managed program to your program. It's obvious that NiceHash wants their program to really be usable only within their domain, but that's an unfair restriction (and unfair business practice) on a software that is otherwise freely available for separate use.

Of course Excavator using GitHub to host their closed-source application is a questionable use of GitHub in the first place. They just don't want to pay for server bandwidth to host their own proprietary program distribution. Then they use the source control part of GitHub to make a sort of documentation site; again, because they don't want to pay for their own server. There may or may not be anything against the terms of service of GitHub, but it seems at least dishonest and an abuse of what GitHub is meant to be to me.

That page contains a few coins, but from Awesome Miner's point of view, MPH is not a source for single coin information because WhatToMine is more complete in terms of coins and information.

Hello and thanks for new version.

Signatum don't work for me.
I have the new coin but it was always "0.00 CHF".
In coins section, I have nothing in blocks, network hash rate, difficulty and Exchange rate.
I have add http://whattomine.com/coins/191.json on the new statistic section, but it's the same.

The only thing is to change manualy.

Thanks.

One small correction, Mining Pool Hub does have coin mining ports in addition to their own auto switching algo mining ports. So Mining Pool Hub should be able to work with fixed coin profit switching. The Multi Pool Miner package has the feature of coin mining on MPH but I haven't tried it.

I don't think I understand. If you go to https://miningpoolhub.com/?page=home&normalize=none and scroll down to the second table, you will see individual coin mining BTC/GH/Day ratings. And the Json return from "http://miningpoolhub.com/index.php?page=api&action=getminingandprofitsstatistics also shows individual coins for the coin mining ports 20xxx rather than the algo mining profit switch ports 17xxx. Doesn't this provide the information you need?

Also a small issue, but using the 'Save hashrate...' shortcut on a miner does not seem to save the hashrate to the Algorithms page when you click 'OK' - I think this may only happen when you are using Managed Profit Switching (probably because of Unspecified coins) , as I remember it working before I started using that feature (using just Managed Miner)

Also one last request for awhile (everything else is... you know... awesome) - can you include profit on the web interface instead of just revenue?

Agree. I am more confused about the 'show/no-show' of custom software in profit profiles... similar issue to
