Awesome Miner version 8.5
Version 8.5
Note
- The code signing certificates for the MSI installers have been updated. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning as the certificate is new.
ASIC mining
- Improved the Antminer S9 unlock feature to unlock any Bitmain S9 firmware version to allow installation of the Awesome Miner Antminer firmware
GPU mining
- Beta: Awesome Miner and Remote Agent can be configured to communicate via Cloud Services, without a direct communication link between them. This makes deployments of remote sites easier as it no longer requires VPN.
- Mining software can be disabled globally via the Options dialog, Managed Software section.
Features
- Virtual Miner Groups can include other Virtual Miner Groups
- If miner groups are configured to include the total number of hashing miners (non-zero hashrate), the group headers in the miner list will also include this number
- The Information column can display the mining uptime in percent of the last 30 days
- Temperature color thresholds can be configured separately for ASIC miner chip temperatures
- Heat map can display either Chip temperature or the standard temperature for ASIC miners
- The triggers for hashrate and accepted shares will include more details about the current mining software and pool when preparing the notification message
- New rule trigger: Miner Property. Can trigger on miner description or miner group name.
User interface
- Introduce a new page Appearance in the Options dialog. Many of the settings previously listed on the General page has now been moved to the Appearance page.
- Hide old mining software GPU operations no longer supported by modern mining software
Changes
- When sorting on Performance, Disconnected miners should be on top of the miner list
- The pool endpoints of the Awesome Miner API no longer requires the web to be configured to allow pool operations
