Re: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners

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.

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?

Awesome Miner actually have two modes in case the miner doesn't report the Power. By default you are correct that it will show the fixed value you have entered, for example 1300W.

You can also use Linear scaling mode for the Power, where you define that at 12TH/s it's 1300W. If you have some batches running at 11TH/s and others at 12TH/s Awesome Miner will then show a lower / higher Power value based on the current hashrate. See:
