Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners
by
Gagana
on 13/12/2017, 06:53:10 UTC
Hi guys! I have a bunch of iBeLink DM11G with Awesome Miner to control them. When I change the pool via the Awesome Miner software, it works, but until any miner reboot. After rebooting I see the same pool configuration as before any change implemented. Looks like the Awesome miner does not save the new pool configuration.

When I change the pool configuration in the web interface of the miner itself, I have to press "Save configuration" button to really save the new config. Patrick, could you resolve it?

Hi, Mr.Claymore
Please, make the "-minspeed" option understand, that there is no internet connection, so it doesn't actually mine. So, the reason of hitting "-minspeed" limit is not a hardware issue. So, I don't want the miner restarts (reboot the PC) in this case. You understand, that it triggers all other signaling like e-mail/messages "I have to reboot", "I have been rebooted" and so on from every miner affected.
I guess that there are people who need the opposite from what you describe (they need the -minspeed to get triggered from internet connection loss). I am not one of them but I am sure that there are cases where that makes sense.
I agree with you though on what you are saying. I would modify your request like this:
"Please add a flag that indicates whether internet connection loss will trigger -minspeed"

Ok I will add an option in next update so you can set if "-minspeed" should work if miner cannot reach pools or not.

Yes, the default behavior is exactly how i use this flag.

I am one of the users that suffer from the already reported problem:
Every 2- 3 days my internet connection drops and reconnects after 5 minutes.
After reconnection the cards work at a lower speed than normal almost half speed.
I can easily reproduce it with just unplugging and replugging the Ethernet cable.
Only solution was for me to manually close the miner and reopen it to regain full speed.

"-minspeed" option provided me a solution and when the internet reconnected, the miner detects the lower speed and restarts by itself and regains full speed.

If Claymore needs it, i can provide a video clip with this issue or whatever info he needs.

Thanks for development efforts either way!

Hmmm... I will try to check if the speed drop is connected with the "internet connection lost" problem... Thanks for pointing this out!

I think there is another uncovered case that bothers. There is a set of cool "failover" options in the miner. But all of them don't handle the trivial "internet connection lost" problem. O would prefer to run a "no_internet.bat" instead of stupid switching between mining pools. So, I understand your point, but I think it's really different. But lets Mr.Claymore to decide.

I use "-minspeed" because of AMD issue with Polaris cards. They published the driver that solves the issue, but sometimes the rig drops the speed to 60Mh instead of 160. And the only cure is to reboot. So, I'm on the fork. I need "-minspeed" to detect the real speed drop problem, but I have troubles with the "-minspeed" logic.

Please, calculate the speed for "-minspeed" only if the mining is really in progress (there is a connection to the pool).

Sometime EthMan stops work properly - show all rigs offline and if i try close there are error message "Cannot terminate an externally created thread". Need kill and restart process via ProcessExplorer.

How many rigs in EthMan do you have?
Currently I'm rewriting some parts of EthMan, network routines too, probably it will help.

Confirm this bug from time to time. There were 25-50 nodes in the list.

I'm confused. It think I found a bug. And I also want to suggest a big improvement, Mr.Claymore.
 
My rig is a mixed 290/390/480

I use -di detect option and apply the output to the config.txt

and it works:
16:23:16:876   5f0   args: -di 540231 -gmap 540231 -tt 75 -ttli 82 -mport 3333 -retrydelay 5 -ftime 10

Then I see this in the console log:

I say: OMG, I turn off GPU3 until I understand what's happening. And press "3" button. What I see some time later?
16:25:25:183   aa0   ZEC - Total Speed: 1656.333 H/s, Total Shares: 104, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:01

Mmm? It looks like GPU3 is still working, but GPU4 is turned off instead. Isn't it a bit confusing, Mr.Claymore? OK, I say, may be it is related to -gmap option? Comment it by # And... Yes! After deactivating -gmap I see that the key pressed matches the GPU. If I press "3", then GPU3 stops mining, as I see on the temperature values. So, here is a bug, I suppose.

There are 3 lists of GPUs.
The first list is the GPU list to use in the config. It doesn't correspond with any other software. There is no way to reorder GPUs here. So, there is no way to make it corresponding to Atiflash, Whattool, MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, HWinfo and other tools.
The second list is about the performance in the console log. By default it is the same as the first one. But you may reorder the GPUs here by using "-di" option.
The third list is about the temperature and it does correspond with Atiflash, Whattool, MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, HWinfo and other tools. But if you want, you may reorder it with "-gmap" option.

They are completely independent!

I don't think that using OpenCL enumeration as the main one (with no alternative) is a good idea because it falls into conflict with most all of the other software. It confuses users. But OK, it's your choice, Mr.Claymore and the community has accepted it.  

But let's explain it carefully in the docs. Let's say clearly, that there are two independent lists of GPU. That -di affects the performance list only, -gmap affects the temperature list only. And "0..9" keys in runtime matches ... which list?! And if I use "-di 210", then "0..9" keys in runtime matches ... which list?

And if I use

-tt 80,82,85 for GPU0, GPU1, GPU2 respectively, then these 0,1,2  means the ORIGINAL enumeration (from OpenCL), but not what I see in the console if I use also "-di 210"!

The things are going less complicated with "-altnum" option introduced in the latest Dual miner. With "2" value we will see exactly GPU numbers, that is great! But it's possible to solve most all the issues by implementing something like

-alo - adapter list order, that is applied to the OpenCL output first of all. All other indexes are applied to the list, already reordered by "alo" option.

Really! All I need is to order the adapters either the same way as the other software does or as these adapters physically placed. Both options are achievable with this new option.

Dear Mr.Claymore, please, stop all our troubles with those ... ATI programmers of OpenCL forever!

Again: if someone thinks that encrypted connection is a bad idea, do not use it, miner allows you to do it, I doubt you will ever notice 0.5% difference in your income. I'm not going to remove plain connection, restrict pools, increase fees, etc, there is not any conspiracy theory or evil plan. It seems some people have too rich fantasy.
In my opinion, ability to encrypt connection as an option is a good feature (and I'd like to support it a bit by reducing devfee), so I'm not going to remove it right now, though if I see that noone uses it I can remove it in future. Actually, I think about adding this feature to dual miner too, but now I'm not sure because here I've read a lot of ideas about bad sides of encryption, which looks really strange for me. Don't forget you mine cryptocurrencies, they all consist of pure encryption Smiley

Please, don't forget about some users are happy to have SSL connection. At least, they don't want by any reason that anyone between them and the pool could read the data transferred. They don't want anybody expect, that it is mining. They don't want anybody to steal their wallet number and so on. So, an ability to use SSL is generally good.

v9.1:

- additional range checks in code for better stability.
- reduced devfee, it's 2% now (72sec instead of 90sec) if you use secure SSL/TLS connection, currently Flypool and Suprnova pools support encrypted connections, see Readme for samples.
- improved "-di detect" option: now after GPU order detection miner starts mining with the detected order.
- added ability to use environment variables in "epools.txt" and "config.txt" files. For example, define "WORKER" environment varibale and use it as "%WORKER%" in config.txt.


Great! Thanks!

UPD 2 Mr.Claymore I can repeat this bug now. It happens only with "big" config files and happens only when killing the EthMan.exe process in the Task manager. I also see that EthMan is trying to save the config file, even if it is killed abnormally. And I suppose it just has not enough time to finish the save operation and flush the disk cash.

Why do you kill EthMan from TaskMan? EthMan saves data at exit and it can cause this issue. EthMan cannot detect that you kill it abnormally, TaskMan sends normal WM_CLOSE message firstly, in Win7 it waits then, don't know about Win10.

Why? Because, as I said, I couldn't close it normally. It came to a state, when all miners were red colored as they were not available. And EthMan didn't respond to a "Close" command. It happens earlier or later, but it happens, if EthMan runs for a long time. Can I provide you with any additional helping info? Mmmm, may be... As I said before, I have two EthMan windows opened. Next time I see one of them hangs, I will check if this one gets config wrecked, not the second one, that runs normally.

P.S.But you have at least 2 options:

1) Wait 0.5sec before writing the config at exit
2) Perform a crash safe writing. So, write the temp file first, then make a copy of the current file as "*.old" and finally rename the temp file to a normal name.
