Re: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 10000 miners

Well, it doesn't even HAVE an API so don't waste your time. What would be nice is if you add a feature to awesome miner, a new compatibility mode - "command line only" and just try to pass the basic connection info in that case.

I've not had a change to test it myself, but in their first forum post, in the section "Third Party integration" there is an example of an API response:

There is a feature in Awesome Miner called Generic Miner, where you have to specify the full command line and everything yourself:

With a Generic Miner you will not get any hashrate or revenue information, but at least it let's you use Awesome Miner to start and stop the mining, and if the mining process is crashing, Awesome Miner will automatically restart it.

Ahh, okay cool, I didn't see that API info on their github page. My bad.

I am fine entering all the connection info by hand, I'm just saying that most mining software understands -o -u -p
For example, if awesome miner would simply not pass -b parameter to crypto dredge miner, it would work 100% switching pools and algos, but there's no way to achieve this. It would be perfect if we could just tell awesome miner the mapping of commands to use instead of relying on you to investigate and release a new version for each new mining program to be controlled. Just a suggestion.

I don't know what the deal is with the bitcoinz stats coming form coincalculators, but the profit estimate is very close to 0. Maybe you can fix that somehow or let them know if something is wrong on their end...

I do see your point about being command line compatible. That might help in a few cases. The most time consuming with all new mining software being released is the API's, that all are different and Awesome Miner needs to adjust to that. I've been thinking of making some plugin or scripting feature available for this, so users that likes to do their own scripting can add support for all sorts of mining software API's.

BitcoinZ recently forked algorithm to Zhash, and just like Equihash the profit calculations are a bit different compared to most other algorithm. This will be addressed in Awesome Miner 5.2 that is planned for tomorrow.
