Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 581. (Read 703113 times)

Hello Patrike,

As the others have commented, there is something really weird going on with the Profit Switching.
I have several pools added to the pool list, they are all enabled.

For some reason, the program is constantly switching to a coin which has much lesser value than the top open.
And I'm not talking about a few cents less, sometimes the coin it chooses is half the profit of the top one.

Other times it just gets stuck with a coin, like if it has a mind of its own and it decided that is going to be that coin and only that one.
Doesn't matter how many times you restart the miner and update the coin interface, it will keep going at it.
Even if you completely close the program and open it again, it will go back to that coin.

When that happens, I open the log file and look at the "Profitability information". Even in the log file it clearly says that the other coin is more profitable, yet the program continues choosing its "preferred" coin.

I know that you are busy and all but giving that this is one of the most prominent features of your program, I think it should receive priority.

Hi,

I will add a feature that better shows the calculated profitability and decisions made by the profit switcher. Today this information is available if you open the log file, but that's not very user friendly.

Keep in mind that the profit profiles are based on typical hashrates for AMD and nVidia cards. If your setup performs better/worse on specific algorithms, you need to manually adjust the hashrates for this (or right click and save the hashrate), otherwise the profit switcher will not be fine tuned for your setup and could make decisions that are not perfect.

Algorithm benchmarking is also a requested feature that is on the list of features to add in the future.

Hello Patrike,

Thanks for your reply.
In my original post I think I already covered the solution you are suggesting:

few posts ago you said: "Awesome Miner till not communicate with MSI Remote Server until you open up the GPU clocking dialog."

"GPU clocking dialog" you meant GPU tab on bottom or the "GPU Settings" option which not available in free version?

maybe this is why it showing P-States instead actual reading

EDIT:

found minor bug: when miner window minimized on mining rig, it is not shows in console tab in Awesome Miner

Is it showing as 1.20V both on GPU tab and the System tab in Awesome Miner?

yes both GPU and System tab showing same data

EDIT:

after checking other programs, speedfan and gpu-z also both show incorrect vddc, only msi afterburner show correct

seems some programs including Awesome Miner showing GPU P-States data instead of actual reading

EDIT2:

when accessing manually afterburner server at: http://10.0.0.10:82/mahm it shows correct voltages

so i guess its not connecting to msi server properly

Got everything going but have one problem GPU voltage shown incorrectly its always 1.20V but my gpu's on 1050mv

-using free version to monitor and miner agent software (not service) on mining rigs
-msi afterburner and msi server both running on rigs
-voltage control and monitoring unlocked in msi afterburner
-win10pro64 on all machines, gpu's 280x

I have a major issue with awesome Miner Currently.

I have 9 Rigs. I bought the 10 Rig Package.

The problem is I have 3 Nvidia rigs which switch between Equihash and CCminer.

Please PM me with a solution

Hi,
I will share the answer here as well. I recommend you to use the concept of Managed Template to reduce the number of Managed Miners required for this scenario. You can have one template for Equihash and another for ccminer.

Hi. Is it possible to set different wallets for different profit profiles in profit switching mode?

That's not supported. However, in the next release it will be supported to specify different wallets for each miner.

Is it possible to modify the web interface that comes with AwesomeMiner? Would be nice to customize it myself.

The source code for the web site is bundle and minimized so it's not realtistic to modify it. The Awesome Miner API allows you to develop your own web interface, but that can be a significant task.

Hey guys i just tried to followed the step settings that puwaha mentioned earlier yesterday and left it mining overnight while i slept, it stayed on 1 algo mining, equihash the entire night with no switching, i had 8 algo's turned on to switch with...

I decided to post a video showing some of the issues im having.. i really want to get this figured out so i can use Awesome Miner in the future...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?edit=vd&v=yfpAV-9kimI

Also is there a way to adjust intensity per algo in this software?

Hi Storx. Did you send me the log file for Awesome Miner for this issue? If not, please let me know the exact time you started the Managed Profit Miner and attach the log file (toolbar: Tools -> Log File). In the e-mail you send me, please state your forum username (Storx) as well, so I know it's about this specific case. Thanks!

Hi all

Thanks for all questions and feedback. I've not been able to respond to every question this week because of traveling. Just to let you all know, I will be following up on more topics on Monday (two days from now) and then I will have full focus on making Awesome Miner even better.

I'm willing to merge changes back in if I can get access to the UI for it.

Thanks i changed it from private..

Storx,

Are you passing any custom command line parameters? When you go to the nvidia Profit Switching profile, and you select the miner software, click on the configure button... there is a section where you specify the custom miner, as it seems you uploaded Alexis78's version of CCMiner... then the section at the bottom you can pass custom parameters to the mining software. It looks like you are passing the -a Scrypt parameter based on the diagnostics window output.

I have not touched that box yet, because im am unsure what commands are allowed in that box yet... want to learn what i can add to that box once i get it up and running.. If you ever have a moment, maybe i can do a screen share with you over skype or something to try to figure this out..

Hello, don't know if anyone has had this problem.
I had 5 miners and everything worked fine, a couple of days ago I connected a 6th miner.
Now the miners connect and disconnect from the software all the time, most of the time they show as offline and then one or two will be online for a while before going offline.
But the miners are not really offline, they are hashing at my pool, they are just offline for the program.
Please advise.
Thanks

I have seen this behavior from zpool. I've read elsewhere on this forum where someone explained that zpool will intentionally put you on a different coin even if it's not the most profitable in order to get hashrate up on it. I don't trust zpool that much. I mined on it for several days, and my BTC rate was much much lower than even nicehash. I've not had any problems out of MPH, though. I mined it for a few days and it seemed reasonable... just slow with their auto conversion to BTC.
