Awesome Miner development version 2.0.7 upgrades the Claymore's Zcash miner to version 2.0.

Thanks for your comments! If you switch between pools that can be handled by the same mining software, you can simply use the Switch Pool feature you are referring to.

If you require multiple mining software types because of very different algorithms, you either need to make the change you describe, or simply add another Managed Miner with this configuration. Then you can stop one Managed Miner and start another one to switch between very different configurations.

The pools can actually represent not only a single pool, but also a group of pools in different combinations. Each miner can have a unique set of pool settings, and it's mainly the miner, not the pool, where most operations are performed and statistics collected. This is the main reason why the miner entity is the main concept in Awesome Miner.

Thank you for the update!

One general question, maybe I am to blind to find it:
Is there an "easy" way to switch between Pools or do I always have to adjust the "Managed Miners" settings (set mining software + pool)?
It would be easier if one could change the pool via right-click on the miner (this is already possible) and the system automatically detects the required Mining Software (maybe assigned to the pool).
Currently I set up a pool in the first step and then set pool + software under the "Managed Miners" part. I think it might be better to assign mining software to pool settings, or am I wrong? (Actually I think I AM wrong since you have more experience with this)

Keep up the good work!

Edit:
Just wanted to mention that Mining Equihash on nicehash (BTC Payment) also works fine now!

Thanks for the feedback toptek & FlensGold.

Awesome Miner development version 2.0.6 makes these changes:
- Claymore's Zcash Miner 1.1 supported
- Device Profiles works with with this miner
- Awesome Miner will no longer write to config.txt, but the way Claymore's miners work, it will not be used when started from Awesome Miner, because Awesome Miner needs to be able to set command line arguments when starting the miner, and as soon you have one specified argument, the file config.txt is no longer used by Claymore's miner.

The result of the above is that if you need custom command line arguments to the miner, don't set them in config.txt, but set them in Awesome Miner instead (Managed Miner -> Command Line). It's also important to specify a pool for the Managed Miner. Awesome Miner will, just like int the case of using Claymore's Ethereum miner, only modify the epools.txt file.

If you run into any problems starting the miner, could you please send me the Awesome Miner log file (can be accessed from toolbar: Tools -> Log File). Thanks!

errr Claymore 1.1 is a mess for me i had to reset every thing with it i was using the epools.txt file with it now  awesome keeps over writing that and rewrites conf file sometimes puts in the wrong info, it looks like i have to use the conf file no mater what or not use awesome sigh . or use 1.0 . or im not even sure wtf happen it all started after using 1.1.


NM it was more i DIDN'I know WTF I was doing user error it never ran the thu epools.file with awesome it keep going to the conf file if i use the bat file in the  folder and adjust files and turn off the conf  and unmark or add my pool in epools.txt . it works that way without awesome  but awesome keep using the conf file i know that is user error, i notice setting are also different then using the eth miner from Claymore, i got it working thu awesome with the conf file till i figure out what goes were in awesome for Zec mining or what to use . hope that  made sense what it comes to is i got it working again had to use the conf file like i was all a long .


-zpool us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333
-zwal
-zpsw x
-allpools 1

how i discovered it I tired to turn off the log file with

-dbg -1

thu awesome i don't need all those dam files adding up and no idea why Claymore doesn't shut it off by default or at least set it to log to one file by default , instead of making one every time the miner is used  and note it in the read me with on off flags. i know you can do that now, but make it default . and awesome miner has no control over that .


btw im  not using the default pool awesome miner does rewrite in my pool setting the right way, another user error or misunderstanding .

all because of that Fee that's whole messed part .

"-allpools" option is set, default pools can be used for devfee, check "Readme" file for details.

owell till silent army V5 comes out the software that Claymore's  zec miners  is based off , i l use it I guess or go back to Ubuntu 16 . get the same results using SA v3 fee less. then i can't use awesome sigh .

You are right, this seemed to be the cause. But when I set device profile for that miner to "none" (otherwise I could only choose between sgminer/Claymore ETH Miner) the miner does not crash at startup, but is mining on a different pool than I set:eu1-zcash.flypool.org:333
I did not even define that pool (guess it is the default one from claymores config.txt), it does not use the selected pool for the miner.

It looks like the Device Profile selected for this Managed Miner is configured with some ethereum specific settings (etha = Ethereum Algorithm mode). Can you try to not select any Device Profile for this Managed Miner? I will make sure those settings are not passed to the mining software in next release.

How do I use Nicehash-Equihash with this version?

These are my parameters: equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357
Login: BTC_ADDRESS
Pass: x
Coin: Unspecified Equihash

Advanced Tab -> Add: allpools 1

When starting a miner with these parameters it retruns the following lines:
UNKNOWN OPTION -etha
UNKNOWN OPTION -1
UNKNOWN OPTION -gser
UNKNOWN OPTION -1
...
ZEC: No pools specified. Specifiy at least one valid pool in "-epool" Parameter.

Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome Miner development version 2.0.5
- Update to display the correct Zcash profit from both WhatToMine and Coinwarz.
- Zcash: Support for switching between multiple pools (although the mining process is being restarted).

There was also a request for the MSI installer for the development version of the Remote Agent (now also 2.0.5):
http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setupdev/AwesomeMinerRemoteService.msi
If it's not possible to upgrade the remote miners with the Upgrade feature in Awesome Miner, the link above can be used to manually perform an upgrade.

hate to ask would you post the remote msi install file for 204 once it's upgraded on each PC I can use it even before the upgrade on the main PC @ 203 i could use everything and now it won't do a thing till i upgrade the remote PC's  manually . it show then online with a version number under the icons i right click  hit the upgrade to, it doesn't do a thing i can't use any PCs remote, til it is upgraded, it's been that way for some time . i never said any thing because there hasn't been a dev version in a while and it's not a big deal to me , the live version lets me update to any live version updates and if it doesn't I can go online and download it .

here's what the log says not sure it's that's me i need to turn something on or it just can't find the server for the remote.msi file but has no issue upgrading the main PC.

System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable

again it no big deal if i can download it some place it all works after upgrades.

How to heck you get Zcash Coin to show the profit value. mine stays at 0.00$ even tought i'm mining at 252HS, have Whattomine for Coins Statictics. Have Claymores Software Selected .?

works for my other coins...

Awesome Miner development version 2.0.4 is available. This version includes initial support for Zcash mining using Claymore's Zcash Miner.

A known limitation is that currently only one pool can be added to the miner.

To get access to development versions of Awesome Miner:
1) In the Options dialog of Awesome Miner, in the General section, enable "Check for development versions". Save.
2) Go to Menu -> Check for updates

Development in progress - Awesome Miner with Claymore's Zcash Miner:

I hope silent army when it hits windows can be used with AM with stats , it does the same thing Claymore does with no fee . i guess i can't i get over that issue well any way SA3 it what Claymore is based off of .I just tried it . in Linux, i made my 3 470  rig a Linux box to test it ,windows is coming all three 470 acttly worked like they should doing 43 Sol per card . the impressive one to me is my R9 280 it was doing 31 sol now with SA or Claymore  44 to 46  sol that really impressed me .

Yes, just started to look into it. I will keep you updated on the progress

Claymore just released his ZCash Miner including an API:

Will you try to implement it?

No, it's a scam. I will report it although the post was made a long time ago - thanks for letting me know.

is this for real?

Thx for your answer, i'm currently testing with genoil for zcash, for the moment seems good

not sure if this intend or not i had to set up a bat command to get past the EXE's hard coded pool . it kept login me to his pool , i click the exe by it self and it logs me to
so I looked at am went to the bat command line made it log in with a bat file after that it works fine .
