I really begin to like all the features of AM - great stuff!

A couple of things...

Suggestion UI change

1. I suggest you add 'Main' -> 'Miners' -> 'Summary' -> 'View details...' function to the right-click context menu of the miner itself.
2. In 'View details' -> 'Profit switching' add right-click option 'Mine this...' (will switch mining to the selected algo)

Finding when trying to include Excavator v1.2.11a as custom miner
The miner is hosted here: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator (note the special copyright)

1. Create 'User defined mining software' -> 'Compatibility mode=API only' / 'Compatible Software=Excavator (BETA)' / 'API Port=3456', tick some algos (ethereum, pascal)
2. Try to include it as Mining software in the 'Profit switshing profile properties'. It is not here  Huh
3. Change 'User defined mining software' -> 'Compatibility mode=Command line and API'
4. Go to the 'Profit swiching profile properties'. Now it is available  Smiley. Configure custom path to binaries
5. Deselect all other miners
6. Try to mine with it - no success. Result:

7. Change 'User defined mining software' -> 'Compatibility mode=API only'
8. Try to mine with it. It connects to the miner but nothing happens. Sad
now here comes the tricky part...
9. Try to add some custom command line parameters in 'Profit switching profile properties'. Miner is not visible anymore, even though the 'Profit profiles' miner counter stays @ '1'  Huh Huh
10. Delete the 'User defined mining software' from step one
11. Go back to  'Profit profiles'. Miner counter stays @ '1'
12. Restore XML Backup  Grin

Is it possible for me to access Awesome Miner (read and/or write) from another C# application? I was building a few tools in visual studio and was hoping to exchange some data to/from Awesome Miner but am at a loss on how to do it. I realized that the integrated scripting is locked beyond another version but even with that it probably will not be able to do what I am wanting, so I would love to get it integrated into my projects somehow..
The way of getting information for an external application is to use the REST API:

It's worth mentioning that in the dev build, ccminer alexis has the groestl algorithm enabled by default but it does not support groestl - ccminer 2.1 does
Also there is no SkunkHash minier included. For best hash rates on a 1080ti I recommend ccminerskunk3 (see link below).

Furthermore in 'Options' -> Managed Software' -> 'CcMiner 2.1' (or similar) -> 'Edit...' there is no 'Default command line argument'. This will lead to:

Is it possible to add skunk algo in the software to support SIGT coin?
The latest dev version 3.2.2 supports skunkhash/SIGT out of the box.
The miner sw can be found here:
https://github.com/nemosminer/ccminer-skunk-jha/releases/tag/ccminerskunk3

In 'Mining software configuration' -> 'Command line parameters to mining software' you need to add '-a skunk --intensity=[n]' (n being a number from 1-31)
I know this is a bit complicated to setup the command line in this scenario right now, but my plan is to let you define the mapping that Skunkhash algorithm should be launch with "skunk" command line argument as part of the user defined Managed Software. Similar concept already exists for the predefined Managed Software. Due to some other priorities, it will take a couple of more days before I will be able to make that implementation change.

Hello everyone Smiley

It's possible to have automatically the properties of Signatum (SIGT) coin ?
It exist on https://whattomine.com/coins/191-sigt-skunkhash but we need to enter manualy and the price and difficulty of the market is still moving.

Thanks.
Yes, I've just implemented that. In the next development release you will be able to add the JSON urls for any of the WhatToMine coins, in the Options dialog Statistics section. In addition to that, I've added Signatum by default for WhatToMine.

I was planning to wait until WhatToMine API changes to include Signatum and more in the standard API responses, but I do see the need of this feature right now. It was suggested by a few other users last week as well.

Using awesome minor to monitor/manage multiple Claymore v9.7 rigs.  Noticed that the normal Claymore monitor tool Android app stopped working--apparently Awesome miner disables or somehow changes the default Claymore 3333 port so these Claymore-specific managers/monitors (outside of Awesome Miner) no longer work.  As soon as I add -mport 3333 into command line for EthMiner64/Claymore, Awesome Miner stop working/seeing the systems and the normal claymore utilities work again.

Any way to still allow normal Claymore monitor tools to use 3333 (or another port) while Awesome Minor still working as well?   I assume Awesome Miner is doing something to the IP ports when it executes the Claymore miner executable....

Awesome Miner is controling the ports used by the mining software, in order to support the scenario where you run multiple instances of them on a single computer. If you click the View Details button, you will be able to see which port Awesome Miner assigned to a specific miner. Then you should be able to enter this port in you other monitoring software.

Right now it's not possible to instruct Awesome Miner to use a specific port.

Anyone know what UBIQ block chain explorer API URL actually works.  I've been trying (unsuccessfully thus far) to program my UBIQ Wallet ID into the BALANCE function for Awesomeminer but their is no pre-populated API URL so everything I've tried doesn't seem to work.
There are many coins supported by this block explorer:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/

Can you try to put in this URL in Awesome Miner for ubiq?

Is there any way to change to profit switching function per pool?  Basically, the issue us I want to use MPH as my main pool but instead of AM using whattomine to determine what is most profitable, I would rather AM use MPH's pool profitability and use AM to manage everything?  Is this possible within this software and if so, can someone tell me how to set that up?

Thanks for any help.

If i understand it correctly, AM isnt using whattomine to profit switch on MPH, it actually goes off the online services list directly from MPH via the pools data... so if the pool says xyz is most profitable and 30 minutes goes by and its different than what your currently mining, it will switch to xyz
Storx is correct here. Awesome Miner is only using WhatToMine for individual coin profit. When mining on Nicehash, zpool or Mining Pool Hub, Awesome Miner uses the API's of these services to figure out the profitability, as these services doesn't mine a fixed coin all the time. From the "outside", it's very difficult to know the profit of mining on these three pools without asking them (via API), so that's what Awesome Miner do.

Hey Patrike,

Could you include "fanmin" into Device Profile for Claymore's Miner, please?

Only works for AMD but it's work and i find it useful.
Yes, I will add that in the next version

Im not sure if this could be a different miner all together, or just an algo tuning profile addon...

What about instead of switching algos for profit switching, you could run your hardware on a set algo, have a range variable box, if profits are greater than x amount change gpu settings to xyz, then another if less than y change gpu settings to xyz, then have a inbetween range settings variable...

What this would do is allow the miners to mine maybe at half tdp when the profits are in the gutters to conserve energy, then when they are in the average profit range you could run it at the most efficient settings you found for that algo, then when it spikes super high it could mine at a higher less efficient rate to get slightly more of the high profits..


Example:

Skunkhash: SIGT
If profits below $2.51/day change settings to 55tdp/70c/+200core/-501mem
If profits are greater than $2.50/day, but less than $5.00/day change settings to 70tdp/70c/+200core/-501mem
If profits above $4.99/day change settings to 85tdp/70c/+200core/-501mem

This would tie in well with difficulty mining, because profits increase when the difficulty drops and drops when nethash increases... this would allow energy savings during periods of low profits to reduce overhead and then sacrifice when the profits are higher, because in theory when difficulty is lower the miners running at 85tdp would mine more coins than other settings, resulting in more profits later and when the difficulty is high your machines could get a break on mining and just still gather, but at a lower energy cost...because energy usage and long term profits are the big things to larger mining groups... as they could care less what its worth 10 seconds ago

Example:

Skunkhash:SIGT (Personal Gaming PC 2xMSI Armor 1080ti's watercooled)
@55tdp 241.53 watts used hashrate 74.2MH/s 0.307MH/W
@70tdp 334.18 watts used hashrate 106.1MH/s 0.317MH/W
@85tdp 433.11 watts used hashrate 110.6MH/s 0.255MW/W

Question: Are you still planning to add the ability to change the gpu settings when a new algo starts? which could maybe tie into the above idea.. Algo Tuning Profiles, have profiles setup for each algo to link back to for settings
First of all, thanks for all improvement suggestions on the profit switcher.

The idea is also to support defining GPU profile settings, and in some way apply when for example a miner is starting. Maybe it should be based on specific algorithm conditions to support the scenario you describe with the profit switcher as well.

couple things.

I still can't specify scrypt vs decred. I'm using all miningrentalrigs for host.

When you select a coin it wants to change everything. Also, under the coin selection mention why can't you select a pool payout value?

I'm getting a couple Baikal Giant+ units. Does this allow monitoring or profit switching between algos?
1) Last week we figured out that MRR changed their API's to require both API key+secret, so there will be some implementation effort before MRR will work.

2) Can you explain this scenario a bit more. When you talk about selecting a coin, in which part of the application?

3) I know that some users have Baikal miners and they have worked fine with Awesome Miner. The only limitation found so far is that the Baikal miner cannot change algorithm on the fly when changing pool, which makes the profit switcher to not work. The algorithm change on the pool command is a limitation on the Baikal miner as far as we have seen so far.
