What BIOS do you guys use with Gigabyte 7950's? I'm using this program and my cards seem to be running hot.
This is not specific to Awesome Miner, but if you do Scrypt mining (Litecoin, Dogecoin and similar), you GPU's will run hot. That's why it's getting more popular with the X11-algorithm (Darkcoin and similar) that makes your GPU's run much cooler compare to Scrypt. August 03, 2014, 04:28:33 AM
Thanks it's working now.
If I wanna add Veilcoin (@trademybit not at multi-port)) as a single coin, does it also switch to it, or do I need a api from coinwarz or whatmine or is the api from trademybit also ok?
I change it manually now in the propertys, but it's static, the profit is not changing.
If you want automatically updated profitability for a coin, you need to use Coinwarz or Whatmine API's. TradeMyBit doesn't provide this information in their API.If I wanna add Veilcoin (@trademybit not at multi-port)) as a single coin, does it also switch to it, or do I need a api from coinwarz or whatmine or is the api from trademybit also ok?
I change it manually now in the propertys, but it's static, the profit is not changing.
However, I've started thinking about how to solve this in another way that I think you will find useful. Even if TradeMyBit API doesn't support this, Awesome Miner could still download and parse the TradeMyBit web site to get the list of single-coin pools and their ports. With this information, the profit switcher know that if you use trademybit.com:3498, then you mine Veilcoin and the normalized profitability is 0.00132BTC/MH/day, so it can compare this to all the multi-pool services and switch if most profitable. For this kind of implementation, you don't need Coinwarz or Whatmine, but it will of course only work with the coins/pools supported by TradeMyBit and it's only useful for the coins not part of the multi-pool.

Didn't test it anymore..waited 30min but it did not switch to tmb x11 (still most profitable)
Thanks for improving the software
Version 1.0.1 of the software is now available. I've made some changes to the profitability switcher to always keep Betarigs and MiningRigRental pools on top priority. For MiningRigRentals, this will however not work well anyway because the pool will be enabled even when not rented. For now I recommend you to simply Disable those pools.Thanks for improving the software
I've also added log information to the profitability switcher, so if you run into any problems, please send the log file (Can be found in Options dialog, Advanced section) to [email protected] and I will help you.

Works well- doesn't seem to pull S3 hashrate? Will toss a $10 bounty your way to fix it:) Its on the standard API port but I cant get it to work.
Is everything else working fine, except the hash rate?I need your help to extract some API responses from the S3 miner. Could you please select the miner in main window of Awesome Miner and click the "View Details..." button. Then go to the API Console tab and perform the following two operations:
1) Enter the command "summary", click Execute. Save and send me the response
2) Enter the command "config", click Execute. Save and send me the response
With the response from these two commands, I should be able to figure out why it isn't working. Thanks!

Didn't mean the device profiles, but changing that is also ok.
I mean at the device management. U can only change intensity on the fly, not xIntensity or rawintensity.
Now I do understand what you were asking for. However, Sgminer API doesn't allow to change x- and raw-intensity on-the-fly the same way that you can do with Intensity. So at the moment, this will not be supported unless you configure it in your Device Profile before you start the mining.I mean at the device management. U can only change intensity on the fly, not xIntensity or rawintensity.
As u can see I configure it in my device profile using xI=64.

I set Awesome Profit Switching to 2minutes and see if it switch when looking at the online services, but it doesn't switch.
tmb x11 second profitable but doesn't switch to it, it hash the pool with the highest alive prio.
Are all pools added to the miner, so it looks something like the last screenshot on this page?tmb x11 second profitable but doesn't switch to it, it hash the pool with the highest alive prio.

For TradeMyBit, you also need to enter the API key in Awesome Miner, as described on the link above.
Please let me know if it still doesn't work.
Thanks for all comments! I will continue working on improving the software.
TMB api key is entered. pools are listed (manually)
So after 5minutes it still doesn't change to tmb x11(most profitable)
I set the Awesome profit switching to 2 minutes
after 15min still not change the pool to tmb (still profitable)

At the gpu-settings (device management)u can only change the intensity, it it possible to make a dropbox for Intensity/xIntensity/rawintensity?
You need to scroll down in the list of settings to find x- and rawintensity. I do however agree that those settings should be next to the Intensity setting.Didn't mean the device profiles, but changing that is also ok.

first I made a external miner and the device profiles was working what I set.
second I made a manage miner other wise u can't start the miner when it logs on windows, but the device profiles doesn't work.
When I want to edit my profile it ask for the 3 options and it doesn't use the device profiles.
for example it should use worksize 64, but it is building a binary with worksize 256.
You can always verify the generated configuration by clicking the button "View Details" on the right hand side of Awesome Miner when a Managed Miner is running.second I made a manage miner other wise u can't start the miner when it logs on windows, but the device profiles doesn't work.

I used my batfile and that doesn't work, when using the sgminer.exe it is working.
Where can I insert these parameters? normaly it is in my bat-file
Batch-files are currently not supported, so there is no way of setting the color codes. I will put this on the list of feature requests for future versions.Where can I insert these parameters? normaly it is in my bat-file

For Awesome Profit Switching, is it better to use the multi-multi switch port or the normal port?
You shouldn't use the auto-closing switching ports, where only one of several pools is alive. Currently, it's only the standard pools multi-port pools that are supported.For Awesome Profit Switching, is it better to use the multi-multi switch port or the normal port?

Thank u for the answers..I set up now and made device profiles and it's using my optimized bins, already build.
Another question.
-Let's say one gpu is dead and awesome miner is rebooting my rig, does it restart my sgminer automatic or is awesome miner only logging? Or do have to start sgminer first?
-if my rig is rented and awesome profits switching is enable, will it change the pool to tmb or nicheash? That's not realy the way.
Edit;
when awsome profit switching is enabled it is switching to another pool
when my rig is rented.
Can u make a exceptional/option for betarigs/miningrigrental?

To automatically start mining when Awesome Miner starts, use the setting "Autostart miner" in the properties of your Managed Miner.
If you want Awesome Miner to autostart when Windows is starting, use the setting "Autostart when Windows starts" that can be found in the General section of the Options dialog.
I have to look into how to solve the rental issue. Because if you use Betarigs, you need that pool to be priority 0 (highest priority) all the time, even when it's Disabled (not rented). That should be possible to implement.
For MiningRigRental it will be a bit more difficult, as we don't know if your rig is rented by just looking at the pool, because you could mine at your pool configured in their settings - right? Maybe this can be solved by implementing their API to figure out if the rig is rented or not.
I will get back to you once I have more information.
I have several pools for betarigs (x11-x13-x15-nist5) they are prio 0-3. If x13 is rented (prio 1) does it switch to prio 0, otherwise u have to switch manualy and sometime u forget that. Maybe u can set how many pools u have at betarigs and it should check from prio 0-3 , instead of only check prio 0..
Hope u can implement it somehow.
Anither problem was that it didn't switch to betarig when my rig was rented, I had to close awesome miner or uncheck the awesome profit switching.
miningrigrental is indeed a bit more difficult.

Problem is that the prio is at alfabet way, I can change it with the prioritize option but if I restart the miner it's back to alfabet prio.
example
default
x11 multi prio 0
x11 normal prio 1
x13 multi prio 2
x13 normal prio 3
x15 multi prio 4
x15 normal prio 5
I want this, even when u restart the miner after prioritize
x11 multi prio 0
x13 multi prio 1
x15 multi prio 2
x11 normal prio 3
x13 normal prio 4
x15 normal prio 5
Got it, in pool option u can set the prio

I tested the hashrates, but it's quite a bit lower than the sgminer v5 beta, are there any improvements in the future?
Awesome Miner 1.0 already uses the latest Sgminer v5 Beta: sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-07-20. You can also point Awesome Miner to use your own installation of a recent Sgminer v5 Beta.If you get a little lower hash rates, I think you have to change the default settings a bit to match what you typically use. I will describe how to do that below.

Next generation pool switching: Awesome Profit Switching
Awesome Miner introduces the next generation of profit switching multi-algorithm pool mining, Awesome Profit Switching. By using both real-time coin profitability statistics to switch between single-coin pools and also using real-time statistics from popular auto-switching multi-pools, Awesome Miner can automatically switch between mining a specific coin or mine on the currently most profitable auto-switching multi-pool.
Awesome Profit Switching makes it possible to get higher profits than any of the auto-switching multi-pools alone, by automatically switching between multiple algorithms and multiple multi-pools.

Awesome Profit Switching makes it possible to get higher profits than any of the auto-switching multi-pools alone, by automatically switching between multiple algorithms and multiple multi-pools.
So u can switch between tmb and nicehash or a sinlge coin-pool which is more profitable? and how does it calculate it and switch, api keys?
For the single-coin pools, Awesome Miner support CoinChoose, CoinWarz and WhatMine as coin statistics providers. It's recommended to use either CoinWarz or WhatMine because they are updated more frequently and supports many more coins. Those will however require API-keys that are limited unless you pay.
The profit switching feature simply compares the current normalized BTC / 1MH / Day statistics for all the active pools of a miner. It will automatically detect NiceHash and TradeMyBit pools based on their URL. Every 30 minutes (configurable) it will change to the most profitable pool.
The profit switching feature is implemented using standard features provided by Awesome Miner rules and scripts, so anyone with interest can modify it and develop their own version. The feature is developed using the Awesome Miner C# Script API, and the source code can be found here: Awesome Profit Switching source code
Another question;
Last time I configure it , it wasn't possible to use different xIntensity for each algo, let's say I want xI=64 for X11 and xI=51 for x13/x15, is that possible?
You can configure this using different Device Profiles . For each pool, you can configure that a specific Device Profiles should be used. You can for example create one "X11-profile" and another "X13/X15-profile", and you configured your X11-pool to use the Device Profiles "X11-profile" and your X13 and X15 pools to use the Device Profiles "X13/X15-profile".Last time I configure it , it wasn't possible to use different xIntensity for each algo, let's say I want xI=64 for X11 and xI=51 for x13/x15, is that possible?
You can configure the Device Profiles in Options dialog, Device Profile section. If you already have a Device Profiles defined (for example "X-algorithm devices" if you imported the prepared configuration), you can clone this one and modify the copy. If not, just create the new device profiles you need.
The prepared Device Profiles are very generic, and you might have to tweak them a bit to get a good hash rate for your system, just like you used to tweak your Sgminer configuration file.
