Good day Awesome Miner Crew. I'm running a 1PH BTC mine hosted primarily on Nicehash, and I'm about a week away from running up my 9GH Ethereum mine, running on Ethos. I've been following AwesomeMiner for a while now, and I'm excited to look at the possibilities of bringing my hardware under the Awesome miner monitoring umbrella. The big questions we have are around your NextGen profitability switching. I couldn't quite figure out if the site was saying you do support Linux or if you don't. Our Ethereum mine is entirely on Ethos, which is some version of Ubuntu, but we use SGminer, which I believe you can pull API data from, so I would just love some additional data around that. The site said there may be some reduced functionality, so I was hoping to get a clearer picture as to what that was, and if it was important to us. Thanks so much for all you do in the community.
Hi and thanks for your interest in Awesome Miner.
The Profit Switching feature is mainly for sgminer/cgminer kind of mining, as this family of mining software provides a very good API making it possible to do profit switching both on local and remote computers.
When you are connecting to an external system (your Linux miners, Antminers and other ASIC's) you are using the External Miner feature in Awesome Miner. Linux and Profit Switching is fully supported for External Miners (as long as you run sgminer/cgminer), and Awesome Miner can display all statistics and perform any function supported by the sgminer/cgminer API
However, it's not possible to remotely start the mining process or reboot the computer - but restart of the mining process works. More details can be found on the web site:
