Hello Patrike,
I decided to give Grin a try, for he purpose I spared a small rig with four GTX 1060 6GB. Due to the RAM size, I have no other option left for the sw miner of choice than NBminer. Both Gminer and Bminer require 8GB.
That said, I configured AM to mine GRIN-29 in f2pool.
When I triggered the newly created managed miner if failed to log in to the pool. I reviewed the parameters passed and found no mistakes and all seemed to be ok as per pool instructions.
Running diagnostics leads to the following:

My workaround was to copy the contents of the automatic download zipped folder for NBMiner to a new folder outside the AM path and run a bat file for the same task, which worked ok, i.e. this time it was able to log in my user grinworker to f2pool ands start mining grin.
The bat does this:
nbminer -a cuckaroo -o stratum+tcp://grin29.f2pool.com:13654 -u grinworker.001:x -long-format -log
(grinworker is a moke ID not the real one I use)
Then I tried to make AW leverage the working bat by changing the software location in the Managed miner properties - General from "Automatic download" to "specify existing installation path" and pointing the path to the bat file I had succesfully run before.
In this case AM is able to log in and mine but unable to pull any information and display in the Dashboard screen i.e power usage, also in the Pools, and GPU tab for the miner, nothing is shown, so I am not very happy with the outcome, which is a semi-integration only.
What should I do to have NBminer up & running by just using the default automatic download which is not loging in properly?
Thanks in advance!
