Awesome Miner version 6.1.2
ASIC mining
- Support for AsicFW (custom firmware for Antminers) including display of Antminer power usage when running this firmware
hi, any additional info about this fw? how it works, how to install and so on?
See the following link. Please note that this firmware has a dev mining fee.
http://asicfw.io/So far I've just adjusted the monitoring implementation in Awesome Miner to support reading the Power Usage values they provide.
thanks, and what formula do you use for Power drain calc?
Awesome Miner is getting the Power reported in Watt reported from this ASIC firmware, so Awesome Miner is simply reading an value from the API response from this ASIC miner. I don't have any details on how they get this one on an ASIC. For GPU mining, it's instead Awesome Miner that uses the AMD and nVidia interfaces to get the current Power in watt.
Awesome Miner will then calculate the number of kWh per day like:
PowerUsagePerDayInKWH = Power (in Watt) * 24 / 1000
The profit is finally calculated like:
ProfitPerDay = RevenuePerDay - ElecticityPricePerKWH * PowerUsagePerDayInKWH
thanks, but if API do not report power usage, like bitmain fw. it shows 1300 Wt, by default?
