Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 611. (Read 700866 times)

HI,

A4 default settings only have 3 pools option to setup. When using Awesome miner more pools can be added and manual adding/changing of pools works ok.

The problem is when miner restarts itself, all but default 3 pools are active (other pools are gone and profit switching is limited).

Maybe you can help me setup a rule (after miner restarts itself) to add a group of new pools to a miner? Currently only "change pool" rule works automatically and not "add new group of pools".

Regads,

The feature levels are structured in a way that aligns well with what most users require, but it may not be a perfect fit for everyone. The Enterprise Edition (up to 40 miners, $200) that you bring up is actually only adding the Security and Multi-user access control features. That feature is almost never used if you have only a few miners, but instead if you have a larger number of miners where more people are involved.

So if you don't need that feature, but want everything else, you can aim for the Premium Edition (up to 20 miners, $100). Then it's of course possible to discuss what a good price level is. I typically bring up how much people are spending on hardware, like $1500 for a single Antminer S9, where 20 of those will be $30000. If you can afford $30000 for the hardware, paying $100 for the software to monitor them isn't a big deal. If you run 20 computers for GPU mining the hardware cost is of course much lower, but $100 should still be affordable in that scenario.

There are many happy users of Awesome Miner that think it's worth every penny, because the software helps them to save more money than what they payed for the license. Also keep in mind that Awesome Miner is a quite specialized software, it doesn't have a market of millions of people like other software do.

Bitcoin payments were supported earlier this year, but I had to discontinue that support. The payment processor I use right now have plans to support Bitcoin payments, but it has been delayed. I do constantly remind them because it was promised to happen during 2016. I do want to support Bitcoin payments on the web site again. If you are interested in paying the software with Bitcoin, please contact me by e-mail instead and we can sort it out. Thanks for your comments.

That should be possible with the Rules. If you create a Trigger of the type Time, you can select a specific time of the day. Then you add an Action of type Miner Command, and select Change Group Pool.

Cool software, te tiered pricing scheme is pretty frigin aggressive, Really no way to get all the features without dropping $200?

This is pretty much the reason photoshop and other software is pirated so damn heavily.
All for supporting, but even buying the cheaper version to handle a small number of miners, the software is gutted.

Very sad to see

Edit: and you don't accept crypto payments???

Hi Patrike,

It's any way to switch the miner from one pool to another in a group of pools at fixed times??? I have been playing with the rules tab but i don't find the way...

Awesome Miner 2.2.1 has been released

- Performance history improved for low hashrate statistics
- Diagnostics feature for Managed Miners. Can be used if a miner isn't starting properly.
- Improved logging for fault isolation
- Claymore's Zcash Miner 9.1

I'm not familiar with the pool setup on the A4 miner. Is the pool defined in the miner to always possible to override from Awesome Miner? Is there a limitation on the miner itself to not have more than 3 pools defined?

In addition to Nicehash, Awesome Miner can also get coin statistics for WhatToMine and Coinwarz, where the WhatToMine API is available for free. Anything between 10-30 minutes should be fine for profit switching.

I would recommend looking at the official coin thread here on the forum for available Block Explorers. Awesome Miner supports a few explorer API's, and I can add support for more if needed.

Failover-only is a cgminer/sgminer pool setting that is used to indicate that the primary pool should be used all the time, unless it's unavailable.

I've been loving Awesome Miner, Patrike. 

Very much appreciated, Sir!

I humbly bow to what you've accomplished thus far with Awesome Miner.

Keep up the great work, Sir.

Cheers,

David

Hi,

I got profit switching working for different coins by first setting a new pool group. In this group I have excluded the pools defined in default A4 dominator pools setup (otherwise switching doesnt work). When I manualy add this new list of pools to a miner, then switching works ok.

First problem is that when the miner restarts itself, the pool group is not automatically assigned to a miner and switching is limited to 3 pools/coins only.

I have tryed setting a rule:
Trigger: every 10 min (for testing)
Action: Change group pool, but it doesnt work. It only works if I want to change the pool. Is this normal or am I missing something?

My other question is which statistics provider would you recommend and how often in minutes the switching should be checked?

My third question is where can we find block explorer API url list for different wallets info?

What does the failover only mean when in pools setting?

Regards,

In a default configuration, there are nothing in Awesome Miner that stops an Antminer. Have you defined any Rules with an action to restart? Have you enabled the feature to automatically configure Antminer API Access? Both these settings are available in the Options dialog. Could you please provide me with more details of what your configuration looks like?

If you want to configure Awesome Miner to restart on lost Internet connection, you need to define a rule that would cover that case. For example if the 'Accepted' hasn't increased for 5 or 10 minutes?

Which Antminer S9 batch are you used? I do know that the frequency change feature is not longer supported by the later batches of Antminer. But is it something else that isn't working? If that's the case, could you please provide me with an API report (Toolbar: Tools -> API Report) for that Antminer.

The issue reported by topgeek was related to Claymore's ZCash miner. Are you running this ZCash miner in addition to the Antminers?

In general, please provide me log files and the requested details for the problems being reported. By doing that, it makes it easier/possible to provide solutions. Thanks!

same problem im facing i have premium version but many function not work properly i put all the problem im facing

in new version antminer s7 is stop if i open awsome miner software
and if awsomeminer software is open and i restart miner manually due then miner can't startup its hash rate showing zero.
and one more things want to told you awsome miner didn't automatically restart miner if some error came like internet connectivity lost awsomeminer never restart the miner.
another problem is if i click on restart a specific miner then miner cant restart i need to shutdown power switch and again on it by manually  and one more thing awsomeminer not support new antiminer s9 batch

I can investigate that for sure. However, I still would like to look at the log files for the problem you had. Could you mail me both the log for Awesome Miner and the Remote Agent, and let me know what time you experience the problem?

Suggestion:

When you right click a miner - please add a "CANCEL" option.

If one clicks START and it fails to start and sits there stuck at "starting" there is no way to reset it. 
You end up having to kill the application and then restart it - messing up all of the other miners as a result.

A Cancel option (or a timeout that detects a failed start) would be extremely useful.

thanks.

I need some help figuring out what is going on.  I have a Premium edition license.

Awesome Miner is controlling a remote machine with Calymore Zcash miner on it.
Everything was working fine.

I stopped the miner with awesome miner and now I cannot restart it. 
It says "starting" and just sits there.

I rebooted both computers and the same thing - awesome miner cannot start remote miner.. it just says "starting"
I can log into the remote miner and start the miner just fine with the batch file using the same .exe that awesome miner is pointed to.

In Awesome Miner I open options / managed hosts and select the machine the remote miner is on and it says:
"Successfully connected to Awesome Miner Remote Service 2.2"
so I know it sees it ok (and all network connections/shares to it work perfectly including drive shares and remote desktop).

How do I go about determining why Awesome miner won't re-start a miner that it started just fine only hours before when nothing has changed?

could you add support for this miner Optiminer/Zcash v1.0.1?? its linux base

Yes, it is configured with a Wallet address. I tried it with Nicehash (equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357) and did not set any special parameters for the pool.
But I did set a worker name on "Managed Miner Properties" where I did choose SgMiner-gm.

Hi,
I assume it's Sgminer-gm. The question is actually good, and points out the fact that configuration of miners is getting more difficult with all these mining software out there.
Could it be that your pool is configured with a Wallet address, a concept used by Claymore's Miner, but it's expected to be Worker Name for Sgminer-gm?

Please let me know which mining pool you are using and I will also try that setup.

well, to be honest, 50$ to monitor 6 compaq sticks and a bunch of erupters is a bit too much

I'll stick with cryptoglance which doesn't do as much (kudos to you for Awesome Miner) but does enough for me (and I don't run it often either)

I'm also using Minera (free with ads or pay to remove ads) which runs unattended on a RPI.

At the end of the day, this seems to be a fantastic tool, but I don't have the use for it.

I would have probably paid 10$ to support the development effort even if I could use only a fraction of the features, but def not 50$+20% VAT

I've configured the last 2 S5 I have at home just to give it a go with the free edition.
I don't start my 4 S3+ often, and at some point some of those will be at a remote site.

Awesome Miner doesn't only look nice, it's actually very nice to use as well.

$50 for 10 miner license isn't that much considering that many people are paying $15000 for 10 Antminers. There are of course less expensive hardware out there, but for most people it's worth alot to have Awesome Miner monitoring and ensuring that the mining is running fine. We all know that lost mining time is expensive.

I'm trying to work out BTC payment with the payment processor I'm using - I was promised earlier that it would been available earlier this year. However, if you want to make a payment with Bitcoin, please contact me by e-mail. Thanks!
