Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 616. (Read 703583 times)

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!

50$ +VAT for 10 miners !

wow... and no BTC payment...

it looks nice, but I'll pass

Stupid question maybe:
I have no problems mining Zcash with Awesome Miner using Claymore Miner. It is working fine, no problems.
What do I have to do in order to use sgminer? When I use sgminer instead of claymore the mining software directly stops after starting.
The window opens and closes before I can see an error or the reason for it. I also get the Awesome Miner error Message "Failed to start miner process".
Unfortunately this does not seem to be logged, at least I can not find entries according to the timestamp.

I have sent you every log file from my setup to your email.

The problem I have been seeing when switching to Sg miner is that it never comes back and tells me it's mining. Only the claymore miner seems to work. Sg will say mining but does nothing. I will send all the logs back again from both the main Server and the agents.

Hi,
On sgminer and similar, the Change Pool feature can be performed with the API, and no restart is needed.

With Claymore miner, the mining process should be terminated and a new one should startup. In your case it sound like the first process doesn't terminate correctly. Could you please send me your Awesome Miner log file for this scenario and let me know the time when you performed the Change Pool operation? The log file can be found in toolbar: Tools->Log File

About your previous question on profit switching. When running sgminer and similar, you simply enable Awesome Profit Switcher in the Options dialog, Rules. It will look at all the pools that are available for the miner and prioritize in profit order.

Again, with Claymore miner it's much more complicated because there are two different miners depending on algorithm (Zcash vs Ethereum). In this case you need to use the "Multi Engine Profit Switcher" in the Options dialog. Then you need to add two Managed Miners. One with Claymore's Zcash and one with Claymore's Ethereum. Then you start one of them and the profit switcher will automatically switch to the other one (stop the first Managed Miner and start the second).

The scenario with multiple mining software and profit switching between them is a bit complex at the moment. I planning to write a guide on the web site on that topic.

I'm having a weird quirk with the latest update...
If I toggle the "autostart" option for a remote miner I cannot start or stop it (and it does not start).
If I un-toggle the auto start check box - I can then start and stop the remote miner as normal.

Weird...

In my case each rig contains same GPU's. So all i want to select all my 300 hosts, rightclick, choose "Change pool" - that's it. If desired pool have same algo with current working miner - it's just change the pool, if not - closing working miner, starting needed...On each host...
If it sgminer - seems like it works, but if you using Claymore software - it's not.

You should stop the other miner first. It does make sense that two mining instances for one miner are possible. For example if you configure the software to only use specific GPUs.
So you can be able to mine on one pool with GPU0+1 and the other pool with GPU2+3 for example (I did not test it, but from what I read this is possible).

Did it. But can't switch. When trying change pool, second miner starts, but working miner still works...
