Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 576. (Read 703113 times)

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the thread I searched but have not found it - in the dashboard I see my Ethash and Equihash algos listed, however, my dual mining LBC ones are not displayed, but are correctly shown/detected in the "Miners" overview. Do I have to enable something to see this?

A little off topic, but you can use it with awesome miner too (that I recently bought, professional version).

If single mining ETH and using nvidia, give a try to this genoil version:

https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/releases

In my cfg (4 nvidia GPUs) it's faster than claymore (single mining).

I was trying to re enable API access to all my S9s from the options menu, I did it and all the miners rebooted without my interaction, even after that when I select miner from list it shows that API access is restricted, what have I done wrong? and I remember there was an option to manage multiple or all miners at once, but unable to find it. Any help would be good : )

Hello,

In GPU settings, is it possible to change only one parameter for several or all of the cards?

Currently, if I modify, for example, the Power limit for several cards, it modifies me all the other parameters on all the cards like the core clock or the memory clock whereas I would like to act only on the power limit.

Thanks

The number of miners you can add is controlled by the license. If you have a license for 10 miners you can have up to 10 ASIC miners (Antminer S9 for example).

It looks like something is missing in the pool configuration, and the screenshots doesn't give a complete view of what the configuration looks like, for example how Wallet address is filled in.

Can you please use the Diagnostics button in the toolbar to get full information about what command line that Awesome Miner uses to launch the Claymore miner. I think this will indicate what is missing in the configuration.

Is there a limit on how many asics I can use from bitmain or is the limit only for gpu miners?

Try to add these pools in one pool group, name it like suprnova. Then in Profit Switching don't forget to check custom pools and select pool group. After that manually stop the miner and manually start. It worked for me.


But still, after windows restart, custom pools do not hopping till manual stop/start.

done

but still dont have pools to choose
and...

Yes, I know all the things I said are possible, because I use them. 



Yes.


You can always use a an "unspecified" category.  You have to provide the info on the algo or coin though.  If you look at the bottom of the algo tab, you will see "custom 1", "custom 2", etc.


There are APIs to do this yourself, but I just check once a day and manually update.



I think Patrike already answered this... but it's there.  Spend some time with the online documentation.  It will show you many of the advanced functions like this.


Fair enough.  You are assuming they made copies... or even knew what an XML file was at all.  I think the original intent of AM was to make it as easy as possible with a point-and-click interface, not to throw people into a config file.  But, like you said, there's no reason they can't have both.

It is no longer being developed and is useful in only very specific cases. But in those cases it is the best in the game. For me that's a difference of 5-8MH/s per card.


In response to patrike - I've tested your software. Unfortunately for my use the deployment process will be far to painful to be outweighed by the gains; so I will not be moving forward with it. The software looks very well featured though and I commend you for the obvious effort you are putting forward in development.

I haven't heard of this miner before now. I really like the output format.

Does profitability switching rely on using one of the miners you support or can I use a generic managed miner for this?
I will test this today and purchase if it operates as expected.


EDIT:
I see this now:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/uploadsoftware.aspx

You can add a Managed Miner and specify software as "Generic miner". Then you simply point to the path where your custom software is located.

Can you add your own mining software?
I use Etarminer on some of my rigs and get substantially better hashrates. The only way I can feasibly use this software on my miners is if I will be able to use the mining software I need.
Does Awesome Miner support adding your own mining software or does it require you to use one of the supported miners?

From the screenshot it looks like you have entered worker name information for your suprnova pool, which isn't correct for this specific pool.

Select the pool and click Edit to open the Properties dialog. In this dialog you need to configure the pool according to how this specific pool wants the configuration, and in the case of suprnova you need to put your "username.workeridentifier" in the Wallet address field and leave the Worker name field empty.

Can anybody check my "cant add pool problem"?
And do i have to edit the hashrates manually for my whole rig?

Hi,

puwaha already gave some answers, but I will add my view on some of these items as well. I also would like to start by saying that I appreciate this kind of feedback - it helps me to prioritize the items I have on the very long todo-lists. Some of the points you make are already items high on my todo-list or already supported.

Many coin explorers are different, so if you don't have any consistent way of getting block size, difficulty, exchange rate and so on, it's difficult for Awesome Miner to support custom coins out of the box. If they are listed on WhatToMine or Coinwarz, Awesome Miner will get everything for you - and that's not hardcoded at all.

What some of the power users do is they develop custom C# scripts inside Awesome Miner, where they connect to different sources online (block explorers, exchanges, ...) to get coin statistics, then using the API's to set coin statistics for their custom coins in Awesome Miner. This is super flexible and can support many new and strange coins.

The C# scripting feature is for sure a feature only for the most advanced users, but it gives you very much flexibility:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/script.aspx

You can change the mining software from Auto download to point to some custom version of ccminer you downloaded yourself. Then Awesome Miner will launch your version of ccminer instead. Using the Upload Software feature, you can also deploy this custom software to all your remote computers:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/uploadsoftware.aspx

There is also a mining software typ "Generic miner" that can point to any exe-file. Awesome Miner will simply launch this miner and manage the process, but you will not have any mining statistics available, as this feature is intended to be used with miners without an API.

Genoil Ethminer is an example of a miner you can add as a Generic miner. Last time I checked that mining software didn't have any API, so running it as a Generic miner adds no additional limitations.

On a Generic miner you have full control of the command line of the miner and Awesome Miner will not add anything for you. For all other mining software, you can add your own command line (both on a Managed Miner, and on a single pool) that will append (and replace) what Awesome Miner had as default for you.

I'm also planning to add a new concept that might be called "Managed Software", where you will be able to define that you want your custom mining software with full control over the algorithms and command line, but still be able to mark it to be API-compatible with for example ccminer. As part of this concept, I will also integrate the Upload software feature inside the "Managed Software", so if you change the mining software in the folder on your Awesome Miner computer, it will automatically be pushed to all remote computers.

I think you need to be a bit more specific what additional flexibility you want here. You can add your own rules, where you have many triggers and actions to choose from. If you don't find a trigger and action that do what you want, you can always write your own C# script to fully customize the behavior.

The C# scripting feature supports everything you need to write your own profit switching feature on top of the Awesome Miner scripting API - that's how powerful it is.

I'm of course open to suggestions what kind of features the built-in trigger and actions should expose, because you are correct that they don't support everything.

I agree and this is what I'm aiming for. The reason why some of these items are not available or configurable already is simply because I have not yet had time to implement them. Also, as I explained above, already today you have some power features that already can address some of your points above.

There is also a certain complexity to add new configuration options. It needs to be backward compatble - if I add more mining software or algorithms to Awesome Miner, everyone should get them. There needs to be a good way of both configuring the built-in defaults, possible to add your own and on top of that, get the new built-in default with a new version without overriding your custom configuration. On top of this, the usability needs to be good for both basic users and power users, and scale well if you have 500 miners but still not be too complex if you only have 2. This is the reason why adding more configuration and flexibility is a delicate effort that requires a lot of analysis.

Thanks for all feedback!

Hello! Glad to use your app, but I have some troubles when using profit switching on additional pools.
I added equihash all suprnova pools like that

https://image.prntscr.com/image/wXwOjRo_TXiDCB5K2RTPPQ.png

When starting miner manually it all works ok. But after rebooting OS WIN10, after autostarting awesome miner, it just refuses to autostart miner with these pools and drops to default config of EWBF miner. Also do not switching pools later till I manually stop/start miner, then it starting work again. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your comments. I think these conversations highlights the fact that pricing is a difficult topic, where some people find the price of the software to be super expensive while other find it way too low. For most of the editions (everything smaller than Ultimate) I'm not planning for any significant price changes short term. Ultimate Edition for larger mining operations is the edition that will get a little higher price at some point.

When Awesome Miner was launched 3 years ago, most ASIC miners like Antminer S1 had a much lower price tag compared to the more expensive Antminer S9/L3+ miners we have today. In a few years from now we might see similar trend on GPU mining as well, when 13 GPU system becomes more popular than 6 GPU system. To some extent, Awesome Miner will have to follow this trend.

There is also an Awesome Miner Cloud concept that will be released in a few months from now. This will be an optional service that will require a yearly subscription. The idea is to get the same web interface you have in Awesome Miner today, but running in the cloud. Awesome Miner itself will continue to run on network just like today, but will push statistics to the cloud service. Services like SMS notifications will also be included in the subscription.

As you might have noticed, Awesome Miner has a built-in web interface, but compared to the Windows application it's limited functionality and mainly intended to get a quick overview of the mining operations.
