Topic: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners - page 636. (Read 703060 times)

If it's an algorithm that for example has support in Sgminer (or Sgminer clone) it should be possible to use it from Awesome Miner without having to wait. In the Options dialog of Awesome Miner, there is a section Coins->Algorithms. At the bottom of the list you will find three custom algorithms that can be defined together with the name of the Sgminer kernel.

You can also add a custom coin and specify this new algorithm. The new coin and algorithm can then be assigned to a miner and a pool. In the Managed Miner properties you can also specify a custom installation path for the miner that you want to use. This mining software needs to be very compatible with what Awesome Miner already support, but if it's simply a Sgminer clone with some new algorithms, it should work just fine.

If it's a new algorithm that requires a completely different kind of mining software (not compatible with Cgminer, Bfgminer, Sgminer, Ccminer), then I need to do work in Awesome Miner before it will be supported.

how about new algo, like x11evo, that was really profitable at the beginning, i think we need a way to add algo more easily without waiting for a new version each time

If you are using scrypt miners that run Cgminer/Bfgminer and similar, you will see that Awesome Miner give you more detailed statistics and also access to operations like changing pools, setting pool priority and so on.

When you connect to the Ethereum miner you will not get as much information and features, as this isn't yet supported in the Claymore's miner. One example is the average speed that isn't available from Claymore's miner, and for that reason, Awesome Miner has no other option than showing the current hashrate as the average as well.

I will of course work on improving this when more API features are provided by the mining software.

Thanks for all feedback and comments!

I finally got Claymore running on ubuntu 14 sense i don't like using windows any version to mine with because i use a lot of PI's any type. and SSH it''s a lot easier for me.  

Sense awesome now supports eth mining no windows miners for me my eth rig is ubuntu based and i can see it with awesome as a headless rig with no keyboards mouse or monitor needed .

Question can awesome miner show what I'm doing on the pool not the adjustment speeds i mean BFG show three speeds


 388.1/415.5/180.4Mh/   awesome is showing my AvG speed as 388 MH when it's actually 180 MH if that make sense is there a setting or  some thing i need to adjust with Awesome to show the AvG speed I'm doing on the pool ? . i think I'm asking right . this is for my Alchemist 256 Scrypt miner i do scrypt, sha256 and Eth mining.

Maybe to also have option for custom miner and that way just monitors shares etc speeds and pool and can add in API of pool if supporting that way.

Right now the ethminer-genoil doesn't support provide any monitoring API's, making it difficult to do good monitoring. This is the reason why Claymore's Ethereum miner was implemented first. I will have to investigate this a bit more, so I don't have any final answer yet if there will be support for any additional Ethereum miners.

If there are many people interested in ethminer-genoil monitoring, you should probably try to push those developers to implement an API on their side to allow applications like Awesome Miner to connect and get information.

About hiding the miner window - I will make that option available in the next release. There is a temporary workaround for this already in the current release:
1) Open the properties of the Managed Miner.
2) Temporary change from Claymore's miner to Cgminer or Sgminer.
3) Now you will have access to the Advanced section in the list to the left.
4) You will find the setting "Console window mode" that you can set to "Hide window"
5) Now go back and change to Claymore's miner again, and apply the settings.

In the next release I will move the setting for "Console window mode" from the Advanced section (where the settings are mainly intended for Cgminer/Sgminer) to the Environment section instead. Then you don't have to perform all the steps above.

Is this miner going to later support the mining software ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1 been as tho you are already supporting claymores. I do like the interphase of this. Any option or commands to hide miner in background instead of being in front.?

Spot On 

Awesome Miner v1.6 is now available for download.

New features:
- Support for Claymore's Dual Ethereum + Decred Miner v4.5, both for Managed and External miner mode
- Updated to use CcMiner 1.5.80 SP-mod for nVidia CUDA mining, both for Managed and External miner mode
- Updated to use Sgminer 5.4
- New algorithms and coins, including Ethereum and Decred

This release has support for the API's provided by CcMiner SP-mod and Claymore's Dual Miner. This makes it possible to use the External Miner feature to connect to any running miners, no matter if they run Windows or Linux. The API's for these miners are still limited, but works well for typical monitoring.

There is a guide for Ethereum mining with Awesome Miner on the web site:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/guide/ethereum.aspx

A final screenshot of the Ethereum mining:

looks good

I've investigated the Ethereum mining a bit more and the first support will be for Claymore's Ethereum miner. It's the only miner that actually provides an API (although very limited) and it's also quite popular. I might add support for other Ethereum miners later on.

I'm attaching a preview of what Awesome Miner looks like with monitoring of Ethereum mining:


Limited? Yes, but if the miner API is getting improved I can improve the support in Awesome Miner as well.

Awesome Miner is here to stay - no need to worry about that. Ethereum is the only major feature that hasn't been implemented yet, and the reason is lack of good integration possibilities (lack of good API's). But I'm investigating that right now, as the interest for Ethereum is increasing.

Please let me know if there are any other feature or improvements you would like to see in Awesome Miner.

Does Minera support feature rich monitoring of Ethereum mining?

I think this one is simply parsning the log output of the miner, as there are no API available. It's possible to get at least some information that way.

So the question is basically if Claymore Dual Ethereum miner or the classic EthMiner should be the one supported for Awesome Miner.

I hade a look at the Claymore Dual Ethereum miner, and yes, there is an API, but it's very very limited. It can basically report hash rate, accepted/rejected shares and GPU temp. I will have to compare this to other options.

all of them but the dual miner one i won't use it hate being forced to pay a fee the way he does it i Am willing to pay to unlock it but he won't for the dual miner for eth and dcr  and there is like 3 with good gui reports give me a second or 2 ill post links .

These two  are the two i use the most but sadly one is a bear to set up on other pools but what it says it works on but it does work on other pools after a lot of tries and mistakes.

one other i can't find atm but it would be great to have one that works with any eth miner or pool like this does with bfg and cg and a few more sense ETH may just be here to stay as BTC other sub coin  along with LTC and all others will still come and go and just be there to make btc as alt coins the way it looks for Script coin type miners and there must be some kind of profit in it if Innosilicon is coming out with the A4 .

I'm gonna upgrade one last time with awesome miner in about a month i may need it .

I hope this doesn't die like CGWatcher and CGRemote  did that could have ruled ...  it was the exact same thing as this but had more planned features which never got done with a different  gui then died .
 

in time

Minera may even do it all https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/minera-v090-your-next-mining-dashboard-s9l3d3cpuminercgminerbfgminer-596620



 Mich keeps it updated but having a choice  is all ways good.

For the spondoolies miners, you need to enable API support through ssh, but after this MOD, you still only see the miners, but cant do any operation with them through Awesome miner and thats a shame. Would be so much easyer to make reboots, pool change and so on through Awesome .

Claymore already has a remote viewer for his miner.  There does seem to be adequate API support.  Since I have been mining eth exclusively for the past 8 months I haven't used my Awesome Miner.  I really miss it.

Hi,
Is the SSH modification you need to do because the API on the device needs to be enabled? I wonder if it's a security "feature" from Spondoolies to not support remote pool changes.

Many thanks for your feedback!

Awesome Miner is almost always getting good feedback for the easy and powerful UI and features. Please let me know if there any specific areas that needs improvements. Uptime is being display on the Summary tab, so it's basically the first thing you see when you click on a miner. It will say "Running: 4 hours, 23 minutes" for example.

Ethminer is something I'm looking into, but there are no software with good API yet and also some different mods of ethminer. Any specific version you prefer?
