Hey Lolliedieb,


Thanks for clarifying the lolMiner configuration side of things

The issue I'm having is that with the current Awesome Miner setup, EQUI144_5, ZEL, and EQUI192_7 do not get the --pers parameter added to the generated comandline, (and - for people who are reading along - for those algo's --pers is required, not optional), and I don't know how to setup AM so that it will add it along with the correct argument whilst using profit switching.

I don't even know if it is an AM issue, an EBKAC issue, or a combination of both, (which in itself is an EBKAC issue ), and my google-fu is poo, so I posted the steps I took to find out why I couldn't benchmark those algo's through AM in the hope that someone would point me in the right direction.

Have fun!  =8^)

Jumping in here.

Just to clarify the curiosity about lolMiner configuration:

Pre 1.0 lolMiner had only one parameter to configure the algorithm - this was --coin and did all the needed stuff in one command: selecting right algo + right personalization plus right stratum.
Issue some users of mine had was when a new coin was added with the same algo or one project changed the personalization parameter. Then the shortcut was not right.

Therefore lolMiner 1.0 and newer added a new parameter --algo (or short -a) that can select the algorithm, while --pers takes the personalization for Equihash based algos. So one old parameter was replaced by two new, but its now cleaner separated and when new projects with same PoW come along they should work out of the box.
--coin is still present in lolMiner 1.0 and up, but only for special functions like algorithm switchers and some often used presets. The standard way for future use and additions should be using --algo and maybe - for Equihash - --pers. It might be that some algos in future will be added that need a 3rd parameter to select the right stratum, but that did not happen yet.

I have the feeling that --algo + --pers is much closer to what other miners do and so hope using this pattern clears most of the configuration confusion. 

PM sent. Two actually.
Thanks!

Try this:
Go to the "Options" and then "GPU Clocking Profiles".
1) Create Clocking Profiles for your cards. For example 1 profile for the 6GB and 1 profile for the 3GB. If you need more profiles, because of much different settings, just do it.
2) Now create a Clocking Profile Group. On the right side under "Properties" select your Clocking Profile from 1). Then select the matching rule, best here is the "GPU ID" or even better the "GPU PCI Bus ID". The ID's you can get inside the GPU-Tab at the bottom of AM. Add as many profiles to that Group as you need.
Now you have the choice. If you want that profile loaded whenever that group starts, right click, select "Properties", select "GPU Clocking Profiles" and select your Group-Profile from 1).
If you want to start or stop that profile on different miners, like start when you mine ETH, but dont start when you mine another coin, than right click, select "Edit Profit Profile", click your algorithm and edit the "GPU Clocking Profile" section below with your Group-Profile from 1).

Repeat 2) for your second group of cards, and so on.

If you need more help with the Clocking Profiles, wait for Patrik and/or read the help-guide.

Hey GKumaran,


Unfortunately, I have no idea what coins to mine, which is why I left it to autoselect. Even if I did know what coin to mine, I don't know how to add the string to the generated commandline.

ZHash currently works because the string BgoldPoW is used as the argument to the --pers parameter, whereas there is no --pers parameter included in the generated commandlines for the other algos. I do know that the string must be eight characters long, but how to automatically select which string to insert, (according to the profit switching mechanism), and how to insert it is beyond me.

As for future compatability, using --coin AUTO?? works with the profit switching mechanism now, (well, in a limited fashion, anyways), and will continue to work into the future, (well, it will unles the miner dev decides to kill them).

Have fun! =8^)

Hey everyone.

I am having an issue with GPU clocking.

I have 3 6gb cards and 1 mining 3gb card in one machine. (not ideal, but it is what it is for now.)
my problem is with clocking the GPU's differently.

i have the 3 6gb gpu's as one miner and the 3gb as another. i have the miner set to only use those gpus for that miner.
however, when one of the miners need to change clocking for the algo, it changes it on all gpus. even the gpu that's not set to be controlled by that miner.

is there something i'm missing?

i can set them manually and they mine and work fine. but when the 6gb gpus mine ETH, and the memclock is increased, so is the 3gb gpu that can't and isn't able to mine eth.. even though it's not added to that miner.


i have the 3gb gpu on a seperate profit profile too.

thanks for any help.

Hey lolminer has since version 1.0 updated the parameters.
The --coin is also supported, but the newer algos are all using --algo.
Like you said Equihash 144/5, Equihash 192/7, need --algo and --pers. The '--pers' is a string from the coin dev, not the miner dev, you can get the --pers based on the coin you want to mine.

Its better to use this method to ensure future compatibity.

Thanks in Version 8.0.1, teamredminer-v0.7.10 is working

No, on my balance all good. have many coins with 4 or more addresses, and all fine.

Patrike,
is it possible to add a graphical coin price and difficulty change for 24h, 7 days and 30 days? i think it could be a nice feature.

it seems to error now on anything with more than 2 addresses

Hi Patrike,

Just tried benchmarking the new Lolminer, and found that of the algo's that I use, only ZHash works with the current settings.

I ran Lolminer in a command prompt, and found that the algo's BEAMHASH I, Equihash 144/5, Equihash 192/7, and ZelHash now require the --pers parameter.

I tried finding the arguments to the --pers parameter for each algo, but they aren't listed on github, so I raised an issue requesting them.

I was able to get the algo's that I'm using to work in a command prompt, by using the --coin parameter with the following changes...

For Equihash 125.4,


changed to


For Equihash Zero (192.7),


changed to


For Equihash 144.5,


changed to


Is it possible to use these commands in the custom command entry for each algo under Options -> Managed Software -> LolMiner, and have the --pool : --user --pass parameters auto-fill like %URL% would be replaced in batch files?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, i will do some tests here and report.

BTW,

what do you think in make a version of linux to boot from pendrive with the Awesome Miner client and AMD/NVIDEA drivers into?
So everybody can burn the iso on a pendrive and run the miner...

It was always checked. Check or uncheck not help.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for the additional details. At the moment, I'm not aware of any ways to set this "Core Voltage %". I hope it will run fine anyway using the properties that is supported via Awesome Miner. The Native Overclocking is generally smoother than using the MSI Afterburner integration.

Right now your mining software is launched and controlled by Ethos and you are using the External Miner concept in Awesome Miner to monitor the mining details.

In order to be in full control of the mining, you need to:
1) Install Awesome Miner Remote Agent on Linux
https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000086210-remote-agent-for-linux
2) Instead of using an External Miner, you add your miner as a Managed Miner, where you can define mining software and mining pool to use. At this point, Awesome Miner will be responsible for launching and controlling the mining software.
https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000085995-add-managed-miners-using-the-wizard

I don't have have experience with EthOS myself, but the concept above are the general steps to run Awesome Miner Remote Agent on Linux.

Can you please go to the Options dialog, Statistics Provider section and see if "Keep coins even when no longer listed by provider" is enabled? If not, please check it to make sure Awesome Miner keeps coins from being removed.

Set Core Voltage Limit to your predicted voltage makes more sense. Cards overclock or underclock automatically

Hey Patrik,

the Core Voltage (%) is just a very small boost, maybe 1% or so with +100. But I really like that option. It will boost the hashrate a little bit with just a bit higher voltage, but the GPU clock stays at the same number. If I just increase the voltage to the same value, the hashrate will be lower. So I have to increase the core clock too to match the higher hashrate. But if the card is already running with the highest clock, I cant increase it any higher. Thats my observations to that setting.

Its nothing big here, but a few more cents per hour per card could be worth asking you But if its not possible to edit that setting with the native overclocking, it will be no problem. The native OC is one of the greatest tools inside AM. So keep up the great work!

is there a way to use ETHOS with AM?

I can see the reports on AM, but can not control the miners and the hardware using ETHOS...

Is there a way?
