Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 629. (Read 703113 times)

Agreed.  My thoughts on it are simply this.  If you're going to have a program that is dedicated to mining, then you should have the option to mine anything with whatever is at your disposal.  Asic, GPU, CPU, FPGA, etc...  To see that show up in Awesome Miner would be all the conviction I'd need to make a purchase.  As it is, I'm using Miner Control for CPU / GPU mining and while it does a great job, I'd much rather centralize it all in a single App.  If Awesome Miner does this, then that's the goto app for me. 

I know there are some custom scripts you can load in to try it but im not to sure if they work with the free version on awesome miners site but to set up and edit you own i might wrong you will need the  Premium version at least  it's telling me i need the  Premium version i have the Pro version i don't mind paying for it either.

awesome should let you cpu mind with np  but I'm not to sure the limits of the free version beyond whats listed, some things are all ways over looked or not listed.


I'm Guessing at this point !!! .

At the moment, free.  I would be ok with purchasing the premium but I want to make certain it's going to work with my setup.  More than that, I would love to get it to work with CPU mining as there are a handful of coins that are profitable with CPU mining.  If I can get that part to work, I'll be getting a paid edition for sure.

@Percivul

what level of awesome miner do you have to start with free version , Pro ?. to use the auto-switching fully were you can set up your own custom scripts you need the Premium edition which I'm about to upgrade to it looks like I'll need that part soon .

@ patrike
all Avalon miners use a well written version of CGminer that actually is put into the master version of CGminer over what bitmain does , I'm not to sure with the S9, i know the s7 is forked and they won't put it in the master version like they will with the Avalon version .

I can say the A4.1 work well with awesome , I'll know in a few days if the A6 does just bought one it won't be here till around Wednesday 24 th, as for A7 if i get the cash to gather for one either at release or shortly after I'll let you know if no one else has by then, I'm sure some one will.

Hey guys, first let me say that if this has already been asked and answered, I apologize.  I DID look through but didn't seem to find my answer.

Ok, so I want to setup Awesome miner to do some CPU / GPU mining on ZPool but I don't quite know how to go about setting up the auto-switching and whatnot.

Does anyone have a config file for ZPool that they've setup they'd be willing to share?  I can at least then see what was done in order to get it to work with ZPool and can probably go from there, but I'm kind of at a loss as to where to start.

Thanks in advance and happy hashing!

Thanks for your comments on this. Hopefully they will run a standard compliant Cgminer API that will just work out of the box with Awesome Miner.
If anyone get access to this miner, please give it a try with Awesome Miner and send me an API report if there are any issues. Thanks!

If I manage to get the fan speed feature to work, it will be verify similar to the frequency feature and will probably be in the same dialog. I will also require the Professional Edition.

These changes requires a restart of the cgminer/bmminer process on the miner for the changes to take effect, but it's not a complete reboot of the entire miner. You will get a 30 second interruption in the mining progress, but if you do it only a few times per day, it no big deal.

I have two ideas on the fact that miners revert back to Restricted mode.
1) I'm working on a feature where Awesome Miner automatically will detect Antminer S7 and S9 in Restricted mode and automatically configure them for Privileged mode. It doesn't matter if you reboot the miners, restore firmware or simply buy and connect new miners - as soon as Awesome Miner see that they run in Restricted mode, they will be automatically set to Privileged mode.
2) I think some Antminer versions have a firmware default configuration file. It could be an option to investigate if Awesome Miner can work on that one as well, so a simple reboot doesn't revert backt o Restricted mode. I'm not sure if I want Awesome Miner to interact with this part of the Antminer.

Yes I am very interested to try out the new version!
My plan is to set frequency & fan higher at night, and lower during the day.

@ patrike
you might have even more subs coming the Avalon 7 may release next month right now it's guessing but one is coming  they put up new software support for it a few days ago an it run off of orange PI's which run better then rasp berry and are a lot cheaper to buy depending on which one.

enjoy i guess .

https://twitter.com/canaanio  they keep saying watch twitter it will be posted there first .!!!

I'm not a big fan of bitmain any more !!!

it'll work just like freq adjustment but miner will have to go thru a soft reboot.

will this feature be available for dev version or still have to pay ?

sob sob no budget

for the older version fw of s7, it's just like the s9's, will change to restricted after a reboot n will have to overwrite again unless during boot time it's been over writen to give access to all privilleges

I think I have an idea how to implement fan speed control in Awesome Miner as well, without too much effort. I'm not sure which versions of Antminer it will actually work on, but please let me know if you would be interested in trying a development version of the feature within a week.

Changing the frequency is no problem - I have the miner at my work and want it to be quiet during the day so I need to turn down the frequency to get cooler temps at low fan speed.
The fan is not automatic, so nothing will change at lower/higher frequency.

The reason I purchased this program was for these two reasons.

Maybe there is another way to control fan other than creating a new program?
I do not know much about SSH/API but I have been looking hard for a way to do it.

Thanks,

Hi,
There is a guide on the web site how to setup scheduling of Antminer frequency changes:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/antmineroperations.aspx

Changing fan speed is currently not supported, but could possibly be added if there are any interest for it.
How is the S7 reacting to a lower frequency - will it automatically lower the fan speed because of the lower heat?

Can the fan speed  of my antminer s7 be put on a schedule?
I bought this program so the fan speed and frequency could be on a timer

That works! Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
Thanks for all feedback. For this specific request, you can try the following expression:

Hi Patrike,
Great continuing work on AM. I like the idea of an "app store" where people could share their setups and tips/tricks and simple scripts.

I have a question that is not really a request or something 'needed". But for convenience and ease of use /eye strain, is there a way to increase font size on the updatable fields for us old folks with older eyes?

Second, in the Customize Progress Field / Define Custom Expressions (list), I have - "Best Share: " + status.BestShare - in line #2. I know this is pretty trivial, but is there any way to add commas to this (and other fields perhaps) to make the numbers easier to read?

Rather than 6745637465317, it would be easier to read 6,745,637,465,317.

I guess if I had to choose between the two "wishes", I would like to increase certain font sizes to make reading a little easier. But both would be cool.

If either of those features are available already, sorry, but I have not read the manual that thoroughly.

Thanks for all you do!

I've got something else I want to ask about, but I'll leave that for another day. 

hum..
could be nice!
but you need "Cloud" layer who is not free.
I hope you will give it as "option" and leave the price of software as is.

 

awesome can't wait !!!!!

Future versions of Awesome Miner - please leave feedback

I receive many good feature suggestions from users of Awesome Miner. I take note of all feature requests and the most popular and realistic requests are implemented first. Features that can be used by many users are of course prioritized.

There are four large concepts that I would like to receive feedback on. Would you use any of these features if they are introduced in future versions of Awesome Miner? Which one is most important?

Feature #1 - Public cloud service for monitoring

Today
Today Awesome Miner has a built in web interface that can be used for monitoring and perform the most common operations. The web engine is running inside Awesome Miner, and can be accessed from any computer / tablet / phone on the local network. However, in order to access it outside the local network, you need to configure your firewall for port forwarding.



Future?
Awesome Miner could push all statistics to a public cloud service, providing a web interface that can be accessed from any Internet connected device (computer / tablet / phone). Of course you need to enter you username and password in order to get access to the information.

Optionally, this could also be enabled:
- Allow certain operations to be performed from the public web (like switching between the predefined pools, change pool priority, reboot, ...)
- Allow you to create guest accounts for your mining friends, and give them a monitoring view of only a selected group of miner

A cloud service like this would not be for free, and could for example require you to have one of the following: 1) A yearly subscription or 2) Enterprice Edition or above.

The cloud web is not a replacement for the existing Awesome Miner application, it's just an addon like the current built-in web is. The amount of features will initially be mainly about monitoring, and not for configuring the system.

I've started a proof-of-concept implementation of this a year ago, but the development was put on hold as it will require a significant effort to complete, and I would like to know how many that would actually use a feature like this. I've seen a few "cloud based mining monitoring" projects being introduced in the past, but they have closed down after a while.



Feature #2 - Multiple users and improved management
Any user with access to your computer and Windows account can play around with Awesome Miner. To make it work better in multi user environment, the following could be implemented:
- Require password to open the Main window and Options dialog of Awesome Miner
- Make it possible to define multiple user accounts for the built-in web. Give access to only specific operations or miners for those user accounts
- Maybe support for connecting the Awesome Miner UI to Awesome Miner on another system to manage it

Feature #3 - Linux support for Managed miners
There are no plans to run the entire Awesome Miner UI on Linux and it's important to point out that Awesome Miner can already today connect to the API of Linux based miners using the External Miner feature.

The new feature would instead be to develop a Linux based version of the Remote Agent used for Managed miners. This would give Awesome Miner full control of the mining, and provide features like start mining, stop mining and process monitoring.

Feature #4 - "App Store" concept: Share pool settings, rules and scripts
Awesome Miner also have the feature to import and export entities like pools, rules and scripts. To take this to the next level, an "App Store" concept could be introduced where users can upload pool settings and scripts to a public service, and all other users of Awesome Miner could browse, read the description and install these entities on their system. A user could then for example import the Bitcoin pool BTCC and only have to enter a worker name.

The main concern here is security. For pools it would probably be fine, but importing scripts from someone else is not good from security point of view. Then a review concept would be required first.

Because of the security concern, this feature may not be realtistic - but hopefully it can trigger some other innovative ideas for future development.



Please let me know your comments on the above, and also let me know if there are any other areas where you think Awesome Miner could expand.
