Hello,

Excuse my english.
I live in Switzerland and I have 2 rates for electricity. One for the day and one for the night.
Would it be possible to adjust the GPU power (since Afterburner) according to a schedule?

For example:
6h00-20h59: Power 90%
21h00-5h59: Power 110%

Thanks a lot.

Hi Jack,
This is not possible today, but I'm getting many similar requests on this right now. What I will have in future releases in some kind of GPU Clocking Profile. You should then be able to configure a specific miner to load the profile when the mining is starting, but also let you control these profiles by the Rules in Awesome Miner. If there was a GPU Clocking action, that set a GPU Clocking Profile on the miners, you would be able to define you own rule to trigger change of GPU Clocking Profiles on specific times of the day. Again, this is not supported today, but what I'm planning to do.

tried it again same results posting screen shots this time ...

WITH CM Miner



 Shows the GTX as a RX 470 using using EWBF ZEC miner





O yea i even tired making it device 0 on the RIG and the AMD drivers wouldn't install, when i did,I may know how to fix that and have a dumbly plug coming that should do it, i hope ..  . I'd rather use all AMD cards but wanted to try a NV GTX card ... may buy more ..

May be add some kind of check mark that can exclude a miner from a list, so the other miner software can pick it up ? .

Is that Possible ? ..I know that's a lot of work but should also be fun to figure out ...

I don't care if it reads it wrong, i can turn it off on the GTX card but then the other Issue happens, i think because it does read it wrong, awesome makes it go dead over time and it stops hashing but keeps showing temps etc  ...just doesn't hash and only happen so far using two different soft ware miners on the same rig with a mix of AMD and NV cards ....I'm guessing at this point .
Some of the screenshots above were not loading properly. Also, Awesome Miner will never make a device go dead or make it stop hashing. That's totally in control of the Claymore miner to do that. Awesome Miner is just displaying you what's going on.

I do have a system where I mix AMD and nVidia running Claymore Ethereum miner, and that works fine. However, it's only a single of each GPU.

Can you share the missing screenshots and I might be able to answer more of your questions. Thanks!

Another idea maybe for now, I haven't tried it and maybe if anyone is doing this they can post their ideas too, but I think there is a command line tool for NVidia cards... so maybe we can create a batch file with the commands for that tool to set the cards to our prefered mem/core/power settings,  and link that .bat file to the particular mining profile as a .bat to run before starting the miner?  Would this work?
That concept could work. But it will be much better once I've implemented support for setting these GPU Clocking Profiles.

A couple of requests for the Web server/site:

1) I enabled authentication (so it's password protected).  Is there a way to set a longer timeout until the session expires? On my cell phone when I check the web page I don't want to have to enter my username and password again.  Maybe every 24 hours is OK? Not sure what current timeout is but I believe I checked it on my cell this morning, and then about 6 hours later and it asked for a login.


2) Can the website also display the current pricing of BTC, ETH, etc like the app displays at the bottom?



Thanks for the consideration.

You question on Afterburner is good, and I do understand the need of this scenario. I already have that one on my list of things to implement, because it makes perfect sense. Today you can still use the command line parameters to the Claymore miners for example, to do GPU clocking operations on start. However, this can get complex with command line parameters when you start using other mining software as well, and they all have different or no support for clocking. This is the reason why it makes sense to define "GPU Clock Profiles" in Awesome Miner in the future.

 Hi,


On your Claymore ZEC miner for AMD, you should first of all move down the nVidia card to the last position - then it will not be used in the GPU tab with your 4 active cards.
On your EWBF ZEC miner for nVidia, you should move the nVidia card to the top


Map to System Monitoring should in your case show all 5 cards. Then you need to use the up/down buttons to define the order of them.

and it does
On your Claymore ZEC miner for AMD, you should first of all move down the nVidia card to the last position - then it will not be used in the GPU tab with your 4 active cards.

did that or the GTX 1060 is last on the list .and set as the last device on the list and i made sure by plugging it in on the MB as the last  device to load or as the last device or device four in a five card Rig . .

On your EWBF ZEC miner for nVidia, you should move the nVidia card to the top

did that and it shows it as the first AMD card RX 470 and the other things it does is kill the GTX 1060 over time or shows it dead then stops hashing . but works fine if I use it with CM's ETH miner no stopping shows it prefect etc because the ETH Miner by CM supports both cards AMD and NV ..CM zec miners doesn't sadly with no plans on adding support for NV cards, i asked Sad...... and no AMD card selling or out of stock for who  knows how long is bad, plus the new NV miner only cards Due out the June 23rd,  some one told me from China or lives goes to China ,those cards may not be sold in the US at all ..and we all know why on that one, i won't go there on, just follow the news ...you can't miss why in the head lines every day ...

but I'll try your above advice again to make sure i did like you said Smiley  i may have missed a step and thought i did it that way .

Something else I've noticed is the watchdog will see that a miner has crashed (the exe isn't running) and start it again. I've also noticed if the miner crashed with a error window such as 'XYZ.exe has stopped working and needs to close' or something like that, AM wont detect that and it wont close the old miner as well as the window and start a new one. Not sure how easily you can identify this, but it's definitely needed to keep things running properly. The exes the miners are operating under don't always close if you're using a generic miner that has no API access.
This is a Windows "feature" that isn't playing well together with crash detection, because the process is still running from an Awesome Miner point of view. As you pointed out, this is really only a problem with Generic Miners as there are no API's to detect lack of mining progress (hashrate, accepted shares, disconnected API, ...).

I will take a look and see if I can detect anything from Awesome Miner when a process is in this state.

While I do that, maybe you could try something like chaning the Registry on one of the Generic Miners, to disable the crash dialog:
https://www.raymond.cc/blog/disable-program-has-stopped-working-error-dialog-in-windows-server-2008/
I'm not saying that you should do this manually on the entire farm right now - this could simply be a way for you to workaround to try while I'm investigating on my side. If I cannot find a another solution, I might as well automate this procedure to disable the error dialogs.

At some point in the future, Awesome Miner should also use a pool API (at least the most common API's) to figure out if the mining isn't progressing as it should.

Yup, I understand there are workarounds.

Another way you could detect it, but not sure how much coding it would take is if the miner window freezes, such as there isn't any output on the running window for X number of seconds. While you don't need to know what's happening in the miner or what any of it means, if it stops refreshing or the window stops advancing it's safe to say after a minute or two the miner froze. Could be another way of looking at things if you aren't after the dialogue box that pops up.

Interesting idea regarding the pool API, some of the custom miners I use don't do anything like that (there isn't a pool stratum standard) or if I'm mining solo on a wallet it also doesn't communicate properly with anything other then the cryptic wallet it's designed to run with. Good idea though, especially if AM can eventually deploy a stratum proxy.

How can I remove miners in awesome miner?
In Options dialog, and then either the External Miners or Managed Miners section.

Hi

I bump bensam1231's suggestion about having a way to identify a failed miner (not only if .exe stops running). 


I have a different question, about the ability to use the MSI Afterburner remote server.  How would you set it up for a scenario where if you mine for ETH it sets certain power/memory/core settings, but if you set your ZEC miner it sets a different set of power/memory/core settings.

Is that possible to do? I have very GPU different settings for ETH and ZEC.


(p.s - I really love the software so far, I purchased the Premium edition today and now I have email notifications and a web server Smiley
Hi,
The scenario that bensam1231 describes is when you use the Generic Miner concept in Awesome Miner, where there at no API's to detect any failures. For all other mining software, Awesome Miner uses the concept of Rules (Options dialog, Rules section) where you can define what action to take when you have low hashrate, no accepted shares and so on. In these cases you can define actions like notifications, restart mining process or rebooting the computer. More about rules:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/rules.aspx

You question on Afterburner is good, and I do understand the need of this scenario. I already have that one on my list of things to implement, because it makes perfect sense. Today you can still use the command line parameters to the Claymore miners for example, to do GPU clocking operations on start.

Beautifull piece of software, bought Enterprise edition and happy with it! ;-)

How to get rid of Intel IGPU from mass OC tool?
We have 36 rigs of Nvidia 1080 ti. 7x GPU / rig.
The last 8th GPU always shown in OC dialog is the iGPU, blocking the tool from OC all GPUs at once.
We have to manually deselect 8th GPU...like hold CTRL and click 36x.

Is there a way to hide it, or filter this from list? Would be huge time saver.

We dont want to disable iGPU from Windows, we use them for RDP access with dummy plugs. Otherwise we get black screen on RDP often and also RDP speed is very slow.
Just need to filter them from selection of your mass OC tool.
We dont see iGPUs in miners GPU details (GPU mapping), but probably MSI remote server is reporting them, along with GTX cards to OC tool.

Also tried to hide it form MSI afterburner, or MSI remote server...did not find any means for that.

Thank you

Right now Awesome Miner will show all the GPU's provided by Afterburner. It sounds like I should implement some kind of filter feature for the GPU's like you suggest. I will take a look at that, it should be quite easy to address.

I have noticed AM seems to convey information through the net so if your net connection goes down, all the rigs disconnect (although this might be a form of DRM). While it makes sense you wouldn't be mining offline (except for some really weird coins), you still need to manage your rigs in event of a internet disconnect, such as shutting down miners that don't stop mining when there is nothing to work on.

If your connection is sporadic enough it could be causing the rigs to show up offline. If this is DRM you could just make all the options available except starting the miner.
It's only when you enter your registration code the first time you are required to have an Internet connection. After that, the Internet connection is only used to get coin/profit statistics and information about new versions. There is no need for having an Internet connection for the monitoring to work - but as you point out, the Internet connection is of course important for the the actual mining software to connect to the pool.

In your scenario, did you verify that it was only the Internet connection itself that went down, and no other network issues either on or between Awesome Miner and the Remote Agent application? From an Awesome Miner point of view, this is just a simple TCP/IP connection, so as long as you can establish TCP/IP connections between the computers, it shouldn't be a problem.

Did you verify the connectivity with ping only, or did you verify if other applications on the computer running Awesome Miner where able to make connections to a remote computer where the Remote Agent is running?

No, it only happened once. I didn't have long to test things out, just after the net went down I noticed all services appeared offline in AM, even though they were online and mining. The rest of the network was still up. I'll keep track of this in the future to see if it's a bug or something.

For those using the Profit Switching feature in Awesome Miner, correct me if I'm wrong, but should we only use pools that payout via PPS (versus PPLNS) when doing profit-switching?

From what I gather, PPLNS rewards you in the longer-term (how long I don't know.. is it days, weeks?),  and that if you are mining on a PPLNS pool and you stop mining before a block is found you will gain much less payout. It seems for shorter bursts of mining on a pool PPS is better.


Can anyone provide some guidance on this please? It seems most pools gave a PPLNS system only.  Dwarfpool has a PPS payout .  For those of your using profit switching what you are using and how often do you have it configured to switch (I think we can adjust that time period so then it might make sense to increase the time it checks for more profitable coins.. but what is an appropriate time in the case of PPLNS?)
Awesome Miner doesn't take PPLNS / PPS into consideration for the switching feature. The default switching time is 30 minutes, simply because changing too often can give lower profitability. This setting can of course be changed, but I don't have an answer on what is the most optimal value to play well with the PPLNS.
Maybe someone else here in the thread have more experience in this area?


Thanks, yes hopefully someone can advise about this, I think switching every 30 minutes is too short if you're on a PPLNS pool, I don't know if the solution is to increase this (and to what, 24 hours?), or if the solution when using profit switching is to ONLY use PPS pools.
