That's great! looking forward to trying this release

Is AM using an API call to whattomine that returns all the coins together but without several newer coins? Because if you click on any of these newer coins on the link you post above and add .json to the url you do get the info.

Like this one for example: http://http://whattomine.com/coins/65-adn-scrypt-og.json
And the url for each of the coins seem to be standardized so that the symbol is always between the first and the second dash


There is also currently this issue:
If you try to add a coin to a pool and that coin can be mined with a few different algos AM will only list the coin under just one of the algos which is not necessarily the most profitable one. That makes profit switching incorrect for that coin. The page you mentioned above (http://whattomine.com/calculators) lists those multi-algo coins as separate coins with different diffculties and different profitabilities.

This one for example:
http://whattomine.com/coins/115-dgb-qubit
http://whattomine.com/coins/114-dgb-skein
http://whattomine.com/coins/112-dgb-myriad-groestl
http://whattomine.com/coins/113-dgb-sha-256

It would be great if we can get these multi-algo coins listed under each one of their algos
 

how do i set up External Profit Switching , i mean do i need to set a group pool then enable it for that External miner all i could find was how to turn on External Profit Switching or enable it, so after that do I follow how to set up a managed miner for switching for the pools, i think I'm asking right and will it work with a A4 Dominator running CGMINER 3.90 or BFGminer 5.4 running on my Alchemist both are Script miners running Externally off PI types running Linux .
I use this https://github.com/Stratehm/stratum-proxy for Auto switching which works notice i said works because that's about all it does by that i mean it's no longer being Dev and sooner or later it may stop working .

so
Id say more then likely it will stop if no one picks it up or the Dev doesn't do anymore updates.

Ive been using it sense I found it on nice hash and that was about the time nice hash posted in there software section a year or 2 ago.

This is a little confusing to


 Awesome Miner will not change the pools at all for the External Profit Switching feature does that mean if say i have three pools set up on the External miner it will ignore them or leave them a lone and only use what i have set up in AM ? . if that's how AM works with External's or does AM only use what's set up in the External miner software, if i have switching enabled and then it can mean: whatever pools are set up on that External miner won't change but AM will change to them to use them ? . if that's the case how does AM know when to switch, is that a set able option some place and kind of why i asked "then follow setting up a managed miner for switching for the pools".I'm sure i didn't ask in the right order but you usually understand and ask directly with the right question .

The same.
I have understand profit switcher with GPU but not with an ASIC.
For example, we need to add a new Profit Profile for Antminer L3+ with only scrypt algo and speed to work or default profile work good ?

i have read it for several times, but stil can't understand anything.
Maybe you can make a tutorial for external miners?
Trying to get it for few days, and I'm stuck.

So I get that "-mode 1" overrides Claymore so that it only does ethash even if it gets parameters for dual. But if I add "-mode 1" will Awesome Miner also know to stop comparing the BTC/Day for the various dual options so that it won't try to switch to dual? If it does try to switch to dual, then al lit is doing is switching to potentially a less profitable pool than it was already in.

Here is a little preview of what will be included in the next development release.

As in the previous development release, you will be able to add your own algorithms that's new on zpool for example. Now you can also add your own Managed Software and specify that it has full compatibility with any supported software, but with a different set of algorithms.

In the example below, I've defined a custom CcMiner 2.2, which includes other algorithms than CcMiner 2.1, but is defined to be fully compatible with CcMiner in all other aspects.


In the second screenshot, I've included the custom CcMiner 2.2 to the profit switcher, and put it on top to indicate that if an algorithm is supported by both CcMiner 2.2 and 2.1, it will pick the software for 2.2.


With these changes, the profit switcher becomes more flexible.

The Managed Software concept can of course be used without the profit switching feature as well, and will allow you to define multiple versions of CcMiner and other mining software.

You can also defined Managed Software to run in API Compatibility Mode instead of Full Compatibility Mode. In API mode, you will have to define all command lines yourself - Awesome Miner will do nothing for you. The idea is to support full customization, but still get monitoring information about hashrates and so on. Like a Generic Miner in terms of flexibility, but with monitoring and statistics available.

For WhatToMine.com and Coinwarz.com, there are no hardcoded coins in Awesome Miner. It uses the coins API of these services to get all available coins. The drawback is that several of the new coins that are listed here:
http://whattomine.com/calculators
are not returned by the WhatToMine API. I've contacted the author of WhatToMine about this to find a solution for it. As soon as they are returned by WhatToMine, they will appear in Awesome Miner.

Hi,

External Profit Switching
- Operates by changing priorities of existing pools of an already running External Miner
- Works with many kinds of mining software, but will not change the mining software being used
- Automatically switch between multiple algorithms, online services like NiceHash and single coin pools

So the idea is that you manually need to make sure that the miners has a couple of pools defined, with different coins. Awesome Miner will then change priorities of the pools to ensure highest profit. Awesome Miner will not change the pools at all for the External Profit Switching feature (in contrast to how the Managed Profit Switcher works)

See the help page for details on how to enable it on an External Miner:

Hello,

I have the same question. I don't understand how work profit switching with ASIC.
We need to configure pools like zpool or nicehash in ASIC and it switch automatically on the best coin ?
Or it change automatically the priority pool ?

Thanks.

Hi, guys, can somebody tell me, how to configure automatic switching from one of predefined pools (GAME, Litecoin, DGB) to another based on current coin profit? Im talking about Asic L3+.

The method that Patrike prosposed above for profit switching would require zpool to pull the info (by using "unspecified xx algo" as the coin)
If you wanted to use whattomine (that has many times the number of zpool coins) you cannot currently add any of their covered coins that are not already hard coded in AM for profit switching as of 3.2.1
But I definitely agree it would be a great improvement to have option to add coins through api url or at least start by allowing all current whattomine coins to be recognized

Its not really zpool that the software is getting the info from, its whattomine that most of it is pulled from, so the limitations fall on the use of that website as the source data. I hope the dev adds the ability to add new coins in the future and give us the ability to add our own api url links for the data being pulled for the coins. This would allow massive customization on being able to add new coins and maintain a good correct profit number, because there is are dozens of websites to pull these api sources from on the day of release for each coin..

Great, I appreciate your effort to address these issues.

I'm using 3.2.1 and it has good improvements but having to use zpool to get coin info is not ideal for various reasons, also zpool does not cover most coins.

Definitely, I'm getting back into mining after quitting for ~4 years and re-learning everything with all the new software and tools out there - OC profiles for each algo would be very welcome.

Just keep your ears on the future updates, i know the creator is working on improving the OC/UV section, i recommended to him to add the ability to set OC/UV profiles for each algo, so when your running a profit switch miner it can tune to the best settings for each algo on the fly and he seemed to like that idea, so unsure if he is working on that yet or not, but mentioned he has plans to improve it.

Just wanted to post this up... I am looking for suggestion on videos that you THINK that need to be done to walk new people down the road on the setup and use of the awesome miner software. I know there is a lot of info on the website on how to setup the miner, but as a fairly brand new miner myself when i first viewed all the info on the page it was written in a way that unless you had some knowledge of the mining scene it could be a bit overwelming and pushed me away from using the software for a while, but im back and have been running it for a few days and want to continue to use and it grow the community by building a database of help for others. I already have a list of things im already working on building guides/videos for, but i wanted to post up this so if there is something i have not thought about i can add it to the list and try to get a video out for it.

I have also published support for awesome miner over on the steemit side of things, to try and help guide some folks from over there to the software as well figured it was a good way for me to document all the videos and guides i create for the software in the near future in one location, so if someone comes onto the page int he future and ask a question, you can just link them to xyz video and it would answer their questions in a video and text platform.

Fair enough, was just hoping to save some time.  I'll come up with my own solution for this, thanks for letting me know!

I am pretty sure this is not the case with this software YET, from my limited experience it seems the GPU OC/UV side of it are more of a monitor thing than anything. I actually run a looping batch file that sets my OC/UV values on my rigs, because when you get to a point of having a lot of rigs, its a little difficult to know when one is having a gpu resetting on you and if you dont catch it at lets say 3am, then your running that rig at 100% tdp and such x amount of hours tell you wake up and catch it. So i currently use a script that injects my settings every 5 minutes around the clock to the gpu's....

If you know anything about code, maybe there is a way you can write a script that would say if x software is not running, inject these values, otherwise inject these values... which would detect it not running and run the system at default.

I'm looking to purchase a 40 miner license but first I wanted to check on something:

When using the MSI Afterburner control, is there any way to get Awesome Miner to either restore the defaults or use different overclock values when mining vs when NOT mining?  The mining rigs I have are used by people for gaming whenever they are not mining and I can't have a low-power high-memclock profile active when trying to play games on them.  I have NVIDIA cards or I would just use the miner's built-in overclocking.
