Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 588. (Read 703446 times)

I understand that i can do that, but Alexis miner is unable to mine many of the algo's that are common in the Nvidia field of cards, its just the ones it does support, it does it way way better than any other miner out currently... so manually specifying to use Alexis over the standard miner cuts out the ability to switch to those other algo's, because the ccminer slot is stuck being forced on Alexis...thus adding it would be a huge upgrade for hashrates for the Nvidia side of things.. on some algo's Alexis is able to pull up to 68% more hashrate over ccminersp, i use to combine tanguy version in my custom miner i use.. but with the latest update to ccminer-x64, he took over literally all of the algo's tanguy was better at.. so i currently only us CCAlexis Miner, CCminer-x64 miner, and EWBF miner across all my rigs

Click Edit on the AMD profile. For these algorithms where I assume you have put in your custom hashrate. Does it really say H/s for Equihash, and not MH/s?

First you need to enable Privileged API support for the Antminer, in order to be controlled by Awesome Miner:

After that you can enable the External profit switching feature:

ccminer-Alexis is on the list of miners to add support for.

Keep in mind that already today you can download ccminer-Alexis to the computer you are running Awesome Miner, then use the Upload Software feature to push it to all remote miners:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/uploadsoftware.aspx
Then you configure your Managed Miners to not do Automatic download, but instead use a specified path. This is where you point it to the exe-file for ccminer-Alexis. Now Awesome Miner will be able to launch ccminer-Alexis instead of the standard ccminer.

Of course it's getting even easier if I add it directly to the Automatic download feature. The reason I talk about the Upload software feature is that there will always be some mining software that isn't included or is of latest version in Awesome Miner. Using the Upload software feature you can push the latest software to the entire farm in a single operation and use it.

One after another, new releases are released, and you just add a new ccminer-Alexis to work normally. Sibcoin (SIB) and LBRY (LBC) can not ((sadly

I'm having an issue and it is when I use the remote server to connect and start the program. It will go steady for a few hours and then for some reason it will stop and try to open another instance of claymore when it does that it hangs at open cl initializing pool/solo version and it does not  go past that. I need to manual close that screen and then it automatically starts up correctly. Also if I do not use remote server my rigs stay up for longer periods of time I'm not sure what's going on

You can already add custom miners through AM with the 'generic miner' dialogue or if it is based on a ccminer fork you can just select ccminer and it will use the generic commands that miner uses.



Yes system tab is still working.

Yes Display system monitoring data is selected.

Yup, it's a issue on all the rigs.

The rate for miningrigrentals.com is not working. It is not showing it correctly in the online service tab either.

Yes, I'm only using the default WhatToMine option.  It seems to be Equihash and Cryptonight coins on my end.

How can I have my L3+ profit switch between nicehash and zpool?

+1 for the ability to just add our own custom forks of miners and have the most show up in the list.

+1 for support for the ccMiner forks.

I really like the recent updates, looks like your really starting to polish up the software for the community, but i have a few questions...

Is there anyway you can add 2 miner software to the list to use... 98% of my rigs use these well known miners for the Nvidia cards...i tested using your built in ccminersp version, but i only get 70-80% of the hashrates i get on alexis1.0, and i tried linking to alexis to force using it, but then i loose the ability to mine the half of coins that alexis miner doesnt support that ccminer-x64 does well... if you need them i can give you the miners
1) ccminerAlexis1.0 also called ccminerAlexis78 * this is the most used miner for pascal cards on altcoins
2) ccminer-x64 also called ccminerCuda 2.0 * this miner is always updating with the niche coins that Alexis miner doesnt tailor to....

In regards to the auto-profit switching, does it use a SET PASS list to let the pool determine which algo to mine or is auto-profit switching only using the coins listed from whatomine main api list? (basically only coins with revenue/profit numbers)? i am trying to understand how it works, because i currently use NemoMiner multi-algo on both zpool and minerpoolhub. You recently added most of the algo's i mine for profit to your list and my current miner submits the set pass to the pool, they basically decide what to mine from that list as most profitable... if this is how yours works i plan to switch over to your software if can gain the miner software i need for my GTX1070/GTX1080ti rigs

Now I've been using this right-click function to update hash rates per GPU model and it's slowly fixing the issue. A related but not identical feature request would be for Awesome Miner to recognize that it's not getting the calculated output and to update itself.

ie: The most profitable coin right now is X based on 100 MH/s default. Awesome Miner then switches to X and sees that profitability plummets because we're only get 40HZ/s...not the expected 100MH/s. Update the current profile to 40HZ/s and recalculate profitability. While this isn't as optimal as pre-calculating the hash rates and getting it right from the start, it'd get the product a long way to full automated. Thanks!

2rd tweak request: the right-click option to update the hash rate is great. Any way to pre-populate the secondary hash rate as well?

3rd request: Since claymore can dual mine, would it make sense to have two hashrates for the algo's that claymore supports? ie: solo LBRY & dual LBRY?

And just to reiterate, this is an awesome product. I purchased it right from the get-go because it does most of what I really need it to do, but fixing this profitability part would truly make it AWESOME 

I second this.

The only thing that is keeping me from just letting it run is I consistently see it switching it something with much lower profitability.

That's great, I didn't even realize that right-click option existed. Thanks!

Benchmarking all the algo's is important. Where things go bad for me is when I set 6 algo benchmarks, but all the rest are inaccurate (give or take). Then the miner goes off attempting to mine something worthless at my actual hashrate because the benchmark claims it is the most profitable. Glad to hear this is on the list. Thanks!

I agree and this feature is on the list of things to do.

It should be possible to run benchmarks on a computer and save them to a Profit Switching Profile. This profile should then be possible to reuse across multiple computers if their configurations are identical, or you run more benchmarks and create more profiles for each unique configuration. You might have to do some manual fine tuning even in this scenario, as the dual mining scenarios can be a bit difficult and depend on how you want to set the intensity of the secondary coin.

Today you have the option to right click on a miner and save the current hashrate to a profile.

FEATURE REQUEST - GPU BENCHMARKING

I'm a relatively new miner with just a few rigs to manage. I find your software to be very helpful in keeping a tab on my rigs and all things running smoothly.

One thing that I find myself tinkering with a lot, far too much because it could be automated, is the hashrates of these rigs. I've used Nicehash to do some of the benchmarking and I really like how you just hit GO and it benchmarks each card individually, rolls it up into the systems overall capability, and does it's own thing with profitability from there. I would love to see this in Awesome Miner. It seems like a huge WIN with the profit switcher capability being a huge differentiator from the stash of basic tools out there. I haven't found the profit profiles to be very accurate for me so out of the box they help a bit, but sometimes send my systems down a rabbit hole. I've pretty much resolved this issue by disabling any algo I haven't personally benchmarked, but I feel this takes away a good chunk of the overall software's capability. Anyhow, GPU benchmarking would be awesome. Thanks!

If you click the Diagnostics button in the toolbar and look at the output - does it give any indication why it's crashing? Especially the EWBF and Excavator miners typically don't require any configuration except the very basics to get going.

Open the Options dialog, and then you go either to Managed Miners or External Miners.
