Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 636. (Read 700866 times)

Hi,
We handled this by e-mail a few days ago, but just to let everyone else know the answer - GoCoin is currently used for processing payments, where Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin are accepted as payment methods. It's however possible for me to manually process PayPal payments as well, so please contact me by e-mail if you prefer that option.

Sorry about the delayed response during the Christmas period. I think your question is more about how to get these kind of devices to work together with Cgminer. Awesome Miner is easy to setup with standalone ASIC's (devices with its own IP) and GPU mining rigs. For USB ASIC's, this is more a question about finding the Cgminer configuration parameters to make it work.

Although Awesome Miner can manage and monitor this once it's up and running, Awesome Miner doesn't provide any built-in wizard for making this kind of setup easier.

@awesome miner : I want to purchase the enterprise edition as I have over 25 asics , but I dont have $200 in BTC .  How can I pay via credit card or paypal?

Thanks

Vegas

hope this works for my new miner

Yep I've been through the managed miner guide and it doesn't help me in the slightest. Nothing in there about USB attached ASICs.

On the first post of this thread, scroll down, you find a section called getting started, the first link in it goes to this:

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/start.aspx

It will show you how to setup both local and external miners.

Don't get what you mean... the only thing that I see when I go through the New Miner menu is stuff about GPUs and setting up pools.


When I CGMiner run directly it says that I need to install drivers for the devices but they're already installed. It says I should be using WinUSB drivers. But if I do that then still nothing shows up in CGMiner (says incorrect drivers), and everything is no longer detected in MultiMiner, meaning at the very least BFGMiner doesn't like those drivers, so I would assume that CGMiner wouldn't either.

You need to go through the "New miner" menus, and put in the details of each one, AwesomeMiner doesnt auto detect miners for you.

How do I get my miners detected? They show up fine in MultiMiner but got nothing in AwsomeMiner. Got the drivers installed (silabser v6.7.0).

Hi Steve,

I think we have figured out why this happend in our e-mail conversation. For everyone else to know, Awesome Miner is detecting the popular multi pool services by looking at the pool URL. If the pool URL contains additional information after the port number, it may not be detected properly.

This will be addressed in future updates. Thanks for providing the information.

This is fully possible. You can switch pool of multiple miners at the same time.

I'm attaching a screenshot so you can see what it looks like in action. You simply select multiple miners in the same way you select multiple files in Windows, use either CTRL to select many or select the first one, hold down SHIFT, and select the last one, to select all of them. You use the Switch Pool operation to change the pool for all the selected miners in one single operation.

You can either right-click to get access to the Switch Pool operation, or you can use the button in the toolbar for the same operation.


This concept is called Pool Groups in Awesome Miner. You can define Pool Groups (Option dialog, Pools) that contain several pools, and as soon as you switch to the pool group (in the exact same way as you switch to a single pool), all those pools will be added to you miner. This makes it possible to add 3 pools at the same time to your Antminer for example. When you define a Pool Group you can also set Priority and Quota for each pool.

There is currently no concept of removing coins. You can add your own coins in Options dialog, Coins section. This is possible in the free version as well.

If a coin has the short name GLC (GlobalCoin), you can add a PNG file (48x48) called glc.png in the folder of Awesome Miner. Next time you start Awesome Miner, that image will be used.

Ive looked at this a bit ,  I did get full access rights by appending the following config after each password as instructed : --api-listen --api-allow W:192.168.1.0/24,W:127.0.0.1

Im still not sure Awesome miner has the ability to change pool of 20 miners with 1 click or even change all 20 miners to a new pool group at once. It seems like this would be a feature that could/should be added in the near future to change pools on all miners with one click. Or the ability to have a "select all" in the miners box, then right click and change pool. This is just an idea. A pool group to change all the slots in the "miner configuration" of the s3 would work best for me, as I use "load balance" and technically mine 3 pools at the same time. So I could make many different pools groups of 3 , THAT would be "AWESOME".

Also this maybe because Im on the free version, but is there an ability to update the coins specifications? For example I mine Gamerholic SHA-256 . Is there a way to add the stats of that coin, such as block reward, block time, and an api to pull current price from the exchange.I dont see it in the list of coins for sha-256. Can I add the logo of the coin? Can I delete coins, such as "Save coin". To my knowlege, this coin is dead. Again Im testing the free version, so some/most of the coin customisation is probably possible with paid version. Also is it at all possible to pay with credit card or paypal as my coins are tied up in high POS interest coins, and prefer not to sell them off. Ive got 20 miners, and plan on adding more so it looks like Ill buy ultimate if I can pay with cc or paypal.

Thanks
Vegas

That would be a nice feature, but I don't see how it is possible now.

There is a pool group, you can add a pool to the group then assign the group to each miner however everytime you change the group or restart the miner you will have to manually reassign the miner to the proper pool group again.

Hi,

I can't get awesome switching to work. It just always goes to LTC, even when I disable LTC it just goes to the next in pool list and stays there. The only thing awesome switching seems to do correctly is keep betarigs with highest priority. All the pools have profitability stats and are entered into awesome miner

I sent an email with screen shot & log info a few days ago but no response yet

What's the trick to getting it to work? everything else seems to work fine

Steve

Hi,

In Awesome Miner you can select one or many miners and change the pool for all the selected miners at the same time. What you could do is to try out the Free edition of the software (just download it from the web site), where you can manage up to 2 miners. This still gives you an idea how Awesome Miner works, and if you like it, you can then decide to go for the Premium Edition with support for up to 20 miners.

In order for Awesome Miner to change pool, Cgminer on the miner must run the API in write access mode for Awesome Miner to use. It's not a special version of Cgminer, just that it requires a command line parameter to enable this mode. The default is read-only mode, and that will only let Awesome Miner display statistics about the mining, but not change the pool or anything else.

On each miner type this is configured a bit differently, but for Antminer S3 there are other users that have figured out a quite easy way of doing it. In the web interface for Antminer S3, you can fill in a default pool (URL, worker name, password). When you fill in the password, you can supply additional parameters after the password that will become command line parameters to Cgminer.

Today your password field in the Antminer web interface for pool setting probably contains the password 'x' only. On one of your miners, please try to change this to:
x --api-listen --api-allow W:192.168.1.0/24,W:127.0.0.1

The password 'x' is still the first entry in the password field, but the additional information will make sure that all computers on the 192.168.1.X network can get access to the full Cgminer API.

I have a farm of (20) bitmain S3+ . Im looking for software that specifically allows me to add/change a pool, and for it to affect all 20 asics at once. The way I have to do it right now, when I want to make a change to a pool, I have to go into the console of each S3 and change it 20 times over. Can your software do this? I understand I will need the premium version as I have 20 devices, this is ok, as long as it works. If anyone can answer this and confirm it can work with bitmain for easy pool changing, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

UPDATE: I THINK I have my answer. It sounds like I need a patched version of Cgminer with api full access rights. Not sure where to get this, also even if I did not sure what to do even IF I could get it. If I bought premium awesome miner, is this something you could supply with specific instructions, step, by step for windows??  I seem to remember seeing a few things having to do with putty for windows to do this.

Awesome Miner can connect to any Cgminer/Bfgminer/Sgminer with API available.

Is it possible to monitor miners that use the BE200 controller?

Hi,

This will depend on which rental site you are using. Betarigs uses a concept where the pool is offline until someone rent you rig, while MiningRigRentals uses another concept where the pool stays enabled all the time, but it will mine either for one of your pre-defined pools, or to the renter's pool (but it's unknown from the outside which one that is actually being mined).

The Awesome Profit Switching feature in Awesome Miner will not change the priorities on your Betarigs and MiningRigRental pools at all - they will stay with top priority. Other than that, Awesome Miner isn't really involved in any of this, and the behavior depends more on the specific rental site and how Cgminer/Sgminer operate.

Is it possible to have mulitple renting sites active?
And when the rig rented on one site, will the other rental site then be marked dead/offline?
So the rig cannot be rent at the same time on different sites.
And if possible please let me know how to set it up.

thanks
