Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 584. (Read 703113 times)

I have two questions that I've come up with as I'm using this software more and more.
- I found an earlier post about auto benchmarking for profit switching. Is this still in the works?
- Do you plan to support excavator server 1.2.9a? It seems like the start structure of it has changed significantly from the previous excavator so pointing the existing profile to it doesn't seem to make sense. Also, will you allow for overclocking settings to pass through to excavator or better to let afterburner continue to handle that?

Thanks

Hmm seems to be a small bug, but i can't seem to move miners to a different group, they're all in (My Miners) i can't can create a group but not move anything into it.

Here's a step by step...

Open up your Options in AM and go to the Profit Switching tab.  Here you can see I've enabled zpool, and put in my BTC address.  You can also see where you can enable MPH right below the zpool line, and I put in my username at MPH.  I normally mine at MPH, but turned it off for this example to show you zpool.



Ok, now that you've enabled zpool in the Profit Switching tab, go to the Profit Profiles tab.  I've created a couple of extra profiles specific to RX 470s and 480s, but you should still have the default AMD GPU and NVidia GPU profiles.  I'm going to select my AMD GPU profile and edit it...



In the Profile config page, this is where you can enter any custom algo hashrates and power consumption for a generic "AMD GPU" profile.  I have more than one kind of AMD card, so I had more specific profiles for my RX 470s and 480s... but you get the idea.  In this generic profile, you can also turn on or off any algos you want to mine, and set custom settings for each miner.  I'll show you an example.  I've selected the Claymore Dual Etherium Miner and will hit Configure...



This one is important as this is sort of a "template", so if you have any custom settings you like to pass to the miner software you can do so.  When I'm using MPH as a profit switcher pool, it likes to mine ETH+Sia at the same time, well... because that is still the most profitable for AMD GPUs right now.  So when I use Claymore, I like to drop the intensity of Sia using the -dcri 12 command and tell it allpools and allcoins as in my example below.  There are several other options to play with here, but generally defaults are fine.



Now that we are done setting all the algos, hashrates, powersettings and custom miner settings in the Profit Profile called "AMD GPU", we need to go to the Managed Miners tab, and either edit your existing Profit-switching miner you had setup before, or create a new one... uou get the same options either way.  Here in the example I'm going to edit one I created called i7x3480:



There's not a lot to configure here, but a couple of important items are to select the Profit Profile you just edited (In our case here, the "AMD GPU" one), and set a rig name suffix.  It doesn't matter as much for zpool, but if you want to use MPH, it helps to keep track of your rigs individually by name here.



Now, stop the static Managed Miner (if you had one running for that rig), and then startup the Profit Miner.  You can see in my example below that this rig is now mining equihash on my AMD GPU profile (that's what zpool says is most profitable right now), and it's showing expected income.  If I were to switch my profit miner to use MPH, it would dual mine ETH+Sia right now as MPH thinks it's the most profitable.




Yes, I think so.  Does Nemominer use the same miner software for all algos?  If so, then you can specify an External Miner and specify the IP and monitoring port of that miner software.  You also have to specify what software that is, so AM knows how to talk to the API.  If Nemominer uses different miner software for differnent algos then maybe not.

I have tried it both ways, i have checked all the algo's in Nvidia profile, then started it up, it kept trying to mine Scrypt.. spent hours unsure how to stop it.. because under algo tab it was never selected.. finally after hours i just went in under advanced mining software section and disabled the algo's except the ones i wanted to mine, which did stop it from trying to mine Scrypt... but it would never switch... each time i would restart the miner it would mine the most profitable one at the time.. but i let it run overnight and it never once switched algo's it kept mining the same algo unless i restarted the miner... then it would switch....

I have kinda given up setting up the software.. i tried to uninstall it, then re-install to see if that would fix the issues i was having, it remembered my settings after all of that.. so i just went back to running my modded Nemo-miner for now.. was truly wanting to use this software so i can mine both zpool and MPH, because there are days algo's on MPH are very profitable.. but zpool has them listed as minimal profit..

Question: since i am running Nemominer can i set this software up to monitor them using the external miner section? if i can it would make life easier being able to see the miners all from one screen..

In the future i would really like to try again with this software, maybe ive found a bug in the software idk.. if someone knowledgable can help me setup one rig, i would love to make like a small video walking people through it to help others.. because numerous people have mentioned over on another post section of this site that they were unable to get this software working and either used MPH multi-miner, or Nemo multi-miner....

Did you install and run the remote agent?
It listens on port 9630

Make sure this port is also open in Windows Firewall.

I cant find my rig. Its running EWBF Cuda zcash 0.3.4b and i cant find it.

Any idea? Thanks

... but doesn't this mean that we don't get the automatic profit switching ability ?

My aim it to have it switch between ccminer and ccminer-fork based on whichever pool which has been selected from the pool-group, by the profit-switcher.

I hope there is a way to achieve this.  

EDIT:  Also with ccminer (and same if I load in a ccminer fork) I have issue where I cannot send parameter for the miner by using the pool settings dialogue.   example: maybe a specific intensity or worksize, or similar - to be used for a pool.      I have sent an email about this to info@awesomeminer......  maybe I just do not understand how to achieve this.   I see I can do it with the managed miner, and a template ..... but then *I* have to switch it - but I would like the profit switcher to do it for me.

When you setup the profit-switching Managed Miner, what profit-switching profile did you select?  And on that profit-switching profile, did you put in your hashrate for the Skein algorithm?

There's a built in nVidia profit-switching profile, you should edit that profile and input any known hashrates your card can do.  I'm assuming you are using an nVidia card since you are mining Skein.  There's also a built-in AMD GPU profile.  You can either put in your real-world hashrates, or for simplicity's sake I use whattomine's generic rates for a specific card

Anyone have any ideas of what im doing wrong?

I think I see where your question is coming from now.  A Managed Template gets applied to a Managed Miner.  So the settings you have in the template will override any settings you have in the Managed Miner.  So, if you look at the template, you can see that you can't check the "add to worker name" box or add anything to that field.  It's greyed out.  That's important, because if you apply the same template to more than one miner, you'd be changing the worker name of the rigs to be all the same.  When you apply the template, it will not change that aspect of the Managed Miner on purpose.  Since the template can't change that aspect of the Managed Miner, the name you defined in the Managed Miner will shine through the template.

Hope that helps.

It is pointing to zpool with auto profit switching and no zpool doesn't support Ethereum so why did it open in the first place?
Also i have another question why is it mining on the equihash algorithm when there are many more profitable algorithms(supported by zpool) https://prnt.sc/fqf93r
and why is it telling me that im gonna make 4.43 euro/day when the most profitable equihash coin is worth 3.81 euro/day

That already exists in the Managed Miner options, unless I'm not understanding your request.

Thanks puwaha.  The context for that question/suggestion was in regards to setting up a "Managed template" that would be applied to several miners at once. As this appears to be setting in the Pool and if I choose the same pool for more than 1 rig it will take whatever name is configured in the pool settings.  Or do I have that wrong?

Thanks

It probably depends on the pool you are connecting to, but I don't think this matters in general.  I have had two rigs pointed at a pool, and either I didn't set everything up correctly in my BAT file or in AM... and the pool will show the combined hashrate of both rigs as a single "worker".  One pool even called the combined worker "noname".



This has to be defined at the Manage Miner config page in the Options.  Below the dropdown where you select a pre-defined pool, you have the option to append a rig name to the worker name.  You define the worker name in the Pool settings.  The default behavior is to send the "worker" name  as the name you put in the pool, then a period, then the rig name.  So in the case of Suprnova, if you register with them, your "username" that you login becomes your worker name.  But the most important part with Supernova is you have to go to their Worker page and manually create the worker names before you point your rigs at them.  Your "username" from Supernova then is the first part of your worker name and you put this in the Pool settings.  Then you append the rig name in the Manage Miner config page.  Ultimately your "worker name" becomes

username.rigname  

In the Pool's dashboards you will see each rig individually like this.  Some pools you have to experiment with a little bit, and sometimes the mining software you have to experiment with a little bit in the command line settings you can apply to each Managed Miner.  For instance, there is one pool that I can't figure out how to do worker names with their convoluted scheme with AM at all.  So in the pool definition page, I only put the URL and nothing else.  Then in each Managed Miner in the Command Line options, I specify the settings like so:

--port 3043 --user {wallet address I was mining to here} --pass x

So, as you can see AM is very, very flexible.  You can either define your settings in all the proper GUI fields in the Pool definitions and Managed Miners as intended, or you can put the actual BAT commands that you would normally use otherwise in each Managed Miner's config screen.  You can even setup templates if you swap around to different pools a lot so that you preserve all those precious commands that you worked hard to cultivate.  Or just have a Notepad file full of them and manually copy/paste when you switch pools or settings.  Templates are much faster though.



That already exists in the Managed Miner options, unless I'm not understanding your request.

I have a question about this (well about pools in general), in terms of the "worker name".  Does it matter if I have more than 1 rig using the exact same "Worker Name"  (does the pool care? Does it only matter if one rig has much less hashpower than the other as the amount of shares might not be optimized on one of the rigs then)

When I define a pool I can give an optional "Add to worker name" to append, but if I use the same pool (or same Managed Template) with more than 1 rig I don't see a way to set different worker names.

One idea I had is maybe if you configure the "Add to worker name" to take an optional variable that maybe would take the name of the miner or something (like %minername%), so those who want to use it can do that to have each rig append a different name to the worker name.

If you open the Properties for the Managed Miner, is it pointing to a valid pool? And that pool has Ethereum or similar as coin?

It's unfortunately not possible to change overclocking settings automatically depending on which miner you start, but the plan is to add support for it.

If you create a Managed Miner and specify the software as Generic Miner, you can point to any mining software. Awesome Miner will be able to start and stop this mining software, but you will not be able to see any monitoring information, as this is only available for mining software that provides an API.

Right now I don't think there is an API for this new miner, so it doesn't add so much value adding it to Awesome Miner.

This is Suprnova specific. They require you to provide your address in the Worker name field. Try that and leave the field for Wallet address empty. This is the opposite to how almost any other pool works.

Edit: Sorry, it should be the other way around. Suprnova expects your worker name in the Wallet address field, and leave the worker name field empty. Still confusing, but that should work.

It's popular to use RX 470/480/570/580, but it might be a bit difficult to get those cards now due to high demand. nVidia 1060 / 1070 is also popular, but doesn't have the same price/performance on Ethereum.

Nicehash miner is running on a single computer and only looks at the profitability of the Nicehash pools.

Awesome Miner can control your entire farm from a single computer, and is not only looking at profitability of the Nicehash pools, but also for Zpool and Mining Pool Hub. In addition to that it also uses WhatToMine to know the profitability of all popular coins. This makes it possible to add your custom pools to the profit switcher, and as long as the coin profit is known, Awesome Miner can do profit switching using it.

All API information used is more or less real time information. Except Nicehash, Zpool and Mining Pool Hub, Awesome Miner isn't using any pool specific API's.

This sounds a bit strange, because Awesome Miner monitors the mining process ID all the time and restart it right away if it's crashed or even if you close it manually (you could try that once just to verify). Could you send me the log file (toolbar: Tools -> Log File)?
