Can anyone confirm DAG file limitations using 1060 3gb under windows 10 vs windows server?

I am unable to generate the DAG (epoch 176). I fresh installed windows 10 without any windows updates as well without a fix.

Anyone having similar problems or lack of problems running windows server 2016?

if you have a GTX 1060, you should mine other coins. you are wasting your hashpower

This is not true. GTX 1060 with Samsung memory hashes a bit over 25 MH/s at 75 watts power limit? Wasting hashpower?

I know right? An 8x1060 3gb does 195-200 mh/s and drawing 550 watts measured at the wall.

Patrike,

Could you add something to profit profile for me? Could you add under Profit Profile, when you select an algo from the list on the display under gpu clocking profiles start and stop, could you add a line for "execute batch file before start mining" then a selection to allow us to link to it either local or remotely.

This simple addon would allow people to use third party OC and Settings without a major overhaul to Awesome Miner.
Example on a remote rig, i could then create a folder for all my OC batch files, then create a new one for each algo like Skein.bat, then link to it so we can use Nvidia Inspector without you having to implement it and get rights to use someone elses software....

+1 for batch file use

Awesome Miner version 4.4.4

- Improved failure detection for pools included in the profit switcher, to faster detect failures between the profit switching intervals
- Possible to manually reset the list of failed pools for a miner, to have the profit switcher consider them again. The feature can be access from the View Details dialog where the failed pools are listed.
- Excavator miner will only connect to a single pool (or two pools for dual mining)

One suggestion - is there a way to have a batch file run before each algorithm switch when using a managed profit miner (similar to a managed miner)?

Is it possible to set intensity of a miner for only 1 or 2 algorithms instead of all of them.
I added --intensity on the edit profit profile page

Managed software -> select miner -> user defined command lines per algorithm that you can customize intensity. Note you must add the algorithm name into the command line to start the user defined command line.

E.g. default X17 algorithm starts with x17. In the user defined command line, you also have to start with x17

Awesome Miner version 4.4.3

- Improved compatibility for the Excavator mining software
- Improved support for running the PhoenixMiner software as user defined Managed Software using API compatibility with Claymore Ethereum miner
- Device profile configuration added for the new dual mining algorithms in Claymore Ethereum miner 11.0
- Correction to the profit switcher for selecting dual mining pools correctly

Hi patrike,

IMO, there needs to be an improvement for the performance tracking (graph) side, here are my opinions:
- how many times miners switched, what were the miners, what was the duration of mining?
- shared packages vs. miners vs. accepted/rejected vs. miner/algo
- hash speed vs. miner vs. algo (e.g. in time domain)
- mining vs. actual/24hr earning regarding to that (i think it is possible from the pool's api)

On the other side, mining the best two/three alternatives simultaneously (depending on the user choice) might be added:
- e.g. nicehash sometimes starts two threads for the half of the gpus for the first profitable option and for the second profitable one, this may reduce the fluctuation in earning.
- e.g. on non-homogenous systems, there may exist different gpus with different performance levels, some of them mines some algo best while the others can't, this may be a sol'n for that.

one final thing is manual intensity setting:
- alexis variants and kalust seems to using higher intensities (>25) for most algos, this may cause the system hang with gpus > 8; while tpruvot version goes well because of the constant i=20
- if there may be a constant intensity entry window for each algo, this may resolve the problem
- smart automatic intensity setting may be a second good feature of course, becase it seems the miner itself can not handle it well

thx a lot for your effort

In terms of intensity - you can already set intensity using the user determined command line per algorithm per miner. Keep in mind you need to repeat the default command line - for ccminer with X17 you would need x17 -i 17 for example

Just wanted to say thanks so far for the work you have done Patrike.

If I had one suggestion would be development of a hybrid of current profitability and 24 hour profitability (something like a rolling average of current profitability over the last hour X 24 hr profitability) as an option for profit switching. Ideally it would prevent the one off spikes in profitability that occur for algorithms. If the profitability is indeed real, the rolling average would pick it up.

In terms of measurement of pools side vs client side shares - is there any realistic way for AM to detect at YIMMP pools (or even other pools) if consecutive orphaned blocks were found and then disable that pool for X hours to hopefully dodge a problem at the pool? I realize that ultimately pool side results are what matters and that pools should be more responsible for that detection (ex: chain split protection if >50% of blocks are mined at a single pool), however, if it's even possible and you were able to come up with a solution for that I think you'd add something very unique to the mining market.

Anyone know how to easily integrate this with awesome miner? I get "unknown cdm request: miner_getstat2". Awesome miner shows interface offline.

Since Phoenix is not yet supported by Awesome Miner, you need to input all your value like wallet pools on the config.txt on Phoenix Miner folder. Then go to your Awesome Miner and select your active miner > miner properties > mining engine and change it to Generic Miner(very bottom) and then click browse and locate you phoenixminer.exe

You can just add it as a managed software with full compatibility with Claymore. It runs and reports statistics just like claymore in AM then.

Can someone help with intensity changes for ccminer

What I've tried: Go to Managed Software > CcMiner 2.2.4 found the line for the algo I wish to modify (Phi) entered --intensity=20 in the User defined Command Line argument I've also tried -i 20

Result, miner starts up, and within seconds the window disappears...

when looking at the logs, I can see that the default i 25 is in the command line argument, along with the values I input into the Managed Software section.

Help? please.

If you add it to the Managed Miner or to the Pool custom command lines does it override the default?

I haven't tried that, because that would apply it to any miner/algo. I just need it for one specific case

Right, I'm trying to help you diagnose the problem so we can see if it's a bug that Patrike needs to address.

but your solution/advice is not what I need or want.

Background: In Awesome Miner > Managed Software, there exists the ability to add a "User Defined command line argument" for each supported Algo of the mining software. (in my case Ccminer/Phi)

Expectation:adding -i 20 or --intensity=20 to the "User Defined command line argument" results in CcMiner using an intensity of 20 for Phi algo

Result: CcMiner launches and closes within seconds, red error message shown too quickly to read. Log shows that the default -i 25 is included in the command line argument along with my user defined -i 20, causing CcMiner to crash

Resolution: user defined intensity should replace the default intensity

His suggestion does work - if you're using a pool that is phi only, or a multi-algo pool with a phi specific port, just set the intensity at either the pool or multi-algo pool.

That said, I believe you're trying to do as the picture shows here (set user defined command line arguments) at the miner level. If that isn't working then it indeed is a bug. https://www.awesomeminer.com/help/managedsoftware.aspx

If AM waits for hours for an updated hashrate from ccminer that it has connection issues or it is not responding, and does not take time into consideration, it is not the correct behavior.
AM should have a timer that checks every x seconds the reported hashrate from the miner's API, with one minute delay when miner is started to allow all GPUs to be started and send hash rates. Like this if one pool / algo server is offline, it will change to the next most profitable algo from the list. RIGHT ?

If this happens often to you, you should setup or adjust a rule based upon Accepted progress. If the accepted rate doesn't increase after X number of minutes, then have AM apply a template (or you could do another pool) so it will mine something else.

You did not understand the question.

Read again and test it yourself.

Try and unplug network cable to check in the simplest way.

The problem is that if zpool is under DDOS attack, when ccminer tries to submit the shares it shows "connection refused" error. During this period AM does not update hashing rate and remains with the old hashrate for minutes or even hours. This is a big mistake from implementation algorithm because AM waits for updates from a miner that could be broken instead of AM having a computed hash rate per second that will solve a lot of problems like the one from above, when if you have 24 hours statistics you could have ccminer stucked for 12 hours or more instead of having it restarted (or switching to next one from statistics list) by AM like it suppose to do in a correct way.

Dear puwaha , next time try and understand and test things before writing wrong and misleading answers.

Have a nice day.

In this case, does CC miner still register accepted shares (not talking about hash rate)? If not, the accepted shares rule would address your problem. If you unplug your router and had no internet, a rule if a miner is offline would also address this problem.

I haven't tried that, because that would apply it to any miner/algo. I just need it for one specific case

I've done this also. The problem is that you can not specify intensity for each algo for ccminer or every other miner.
The window was closing in my case with the error "out of memory" for a part of the algos and i was able to view this with "Diagnostics" function from toolbar.

Having custom intensity settings specially for your GPU will increase your income by 30%. Default intensity values varies from one different chip to another but for example for Nvidia 1080 chip used on Gigabyte AORUS that is made from copper plate you will be able to get 20% more hash rate than a low end KFA2 1080 GPU that does not have copper pipes or copper plate, it has a small steel radiator. So, ccminer does not know you have AORUS and it starts with minimal intensity settings for 1080, the same happens if you have water cooled gpu or the gpu rig submersed in mineral oil that offers huge overclocking advantage.

I believe this should be considered a priority by the developer of AM, instead of answering emails he should focus on fixing all issues with the software that are critical, because not taking an action and loosing money is as bad as AM crashing and being useles.

Have a great day.

You can set a custom intensity per pool which would solve your problem if you're using a managed miner. If you're using a multi algo pool under a multi profit miner, you can set intensity per pool port which would give you a unique intensity per algorithm for CC miner.

You can also set intensity individually per card with cc miner.

I think the developer is doing a great job and it's the tone you use throughout this thread isn't helping you.

claymore/phoenix reports submitting shares at a rate of about 78-80 shares/hr
but nanopool is seeing about 2x that number of shares at about 170 shares/hr

yet still seeing and calculating the same hashrate. can anyone explain this discrepancy?

What did the pool report during your test and were there any significant differences between Claymore and Phoenix?

I have determined how to upload custom mining software however is there a way I can add the mining software as an entirely new entry is the list under profit profile properties?

Also, can I set miner specific entries like, -i 25,for certain algorithms (or possibly custom pools) and not for the entire miner software? I have noticed I can tune some algorithms up a bit more but then it causes crashing on others.

It is really needed to have the possibility to add specific intensity values for each algo.

ccminer's default intensity is much less tan your GPU can handle. I tested with increasing intensity until crashing the miner and you can get 30% more has rate and more money for a part of the algos and AM really needs to have custom settings like it was requested in the past for each algo and not only for the miner like it is implemented right now.

ALSO:
I believe it would be better to show income statistics based on submitted (and also accepted shares) , instead AM not remains without any refresh to the last hash rate that was submitted by ccminer even hours ago.

If AM waits for hours for an updated hashrate from ccminer that it has connection issues or it is not responding, and does not take time into consideration, it is not the correct behavior.
AM should have a timer that checks every x seconds the reported hashrate from the miner's API, with one minute delay when miner is started to allow all GPUs to be started and send hash rates. Like this if one pool / algo server is offline, it will change to the next most profitable algo from the list. RIGHT ?

You can already have AM check hash rate and accepted shares and configure rules from there.

With dual mining you need an adequate amount of core overclock or higher power limits to support it vs mining ethereum solo.

When I was testing with mining ethereum solo, I could pull off 50% power limit without significant hash rate differences. With my calculations including power consumption, the lower the power limit the better. If I attempted to dual mine with that low of a power limit, the ethereum hash rate took a nose dive and I couldn't use a 50% power limit anymore.

The increased power consumption is something to consider when considering the profitability. It wasn't worth the headache of fine tuning for ~10-15 cents more a day.

I believe there is a bug with Claymore dual mining etherium and dcr/pasc possibly when using nicehash.

With nicehash configured for to check for current profitability, when the miner runs Eth + DCR despite under the miner view details that Eth + Pasc profitability ($2.71) > Eth ($2.65) > Eth + DCR ($2.46).

Under process information it shows AM will continue to load DCR by selecting -dcoin dcr instead of pasc.

Is there a setting that I am missing to set? It seems like AM keeps defaulting to DCR but I can't figure out what I need to change.

Well, just had another play with this program,
Seems that it just pulls the profit calculations from whattomine and the rates from coinbase.

I didn't know that,
I had assumed that if you were mining on just one pool, it would mine the most profitable coin on that pool.

I'd imagine you would have to have all the pool options selected for the average profitable coin to be in concurrent agreement with whattomine site (and really? why them, it has to be the most inaccurate place to get that info)

Also why coinbase for exchange prices, surly a better average price would be from coinmarketcap, cryptofinance, or even google.

That was probably the reason for identical miners being so different and one steadfastly selecting Lara2 despite me unselecting it in three seperate places in the program.

Anyhoo. after much messing about it seems I can just set up a ManagedMiner and once "makepredefinedpoolsavailubleeverywhere" is selected, can switch to the algo I want dependant on actual profits on the pools I use easily.

It's a shame it's such a winXP program with little thought to modern user interface, and only really understood after many weeks of use, I'm still totally unhappy with how the profit switching is difficult to parse and see what's going on, so I'll just use it for single Algo mining until I have a folder of miners and batch files, which will serve the exact same purpose.

Shame these type of programs can/could be rather useful, but it's grown into such a behemoth full of quirks and settings that only the programmer know how they interact with each other. So many tooltips trying to explain what a setting does - when it should be self evident. So many places for the same things, three different ways to deselect an algorithm in Algos in profit profiles, in managed miners - it's dam near crazy.

If you use this, just make sure you test pools and miners directly occasionally to make sure you are getting the best profit for your hashrates - stay safe out there.
To the programmer/owner, no offence meant, this is just a frustrating program, and I imagine you are insanely busy with helping people, answering the same questions over and over, and trying to track down issues in the code, let alone new feature requests, and certainly have no time for improvements in the UI, all the best, just thought I'd give you an overview of a random persons impression after a month using AM.

I agree that AM shows values that have nothing to do with real income usually you get 5 times less in payment from that pool than the value that AM shows to you and that is inflated a lot, even if you have 24hr average and compare values shown by AM with whattomine website you will see that AM inflates the values by 40% all the time, probably the reason is to cheat the users to use this software.

Also on top of above issue the biggest one is that the values have nothing to do with real pool reward. You will see that the income changes drastically when the new statistics are downloaded every 15 minutes (or configured value) instead of taking realtime pool reward that at least will be more realistic.

PATRIKE, You can implement a NodeJS server with WEBSOCKETS and send realtime correct values to all users.
A NodeJS instance can handle 100.000 simultaneous connections that are notified instantly with used pools profitability instead of having 100.000 users to download statistics that are delayed sometimes with even an hour compared to realtime revenue that you can provide with websockets.

What is the point to see that you make $200/day/rig shown and being lied by AwesomeMiner and in reality you are being paid by the pool with 10 times less ?

It is very important for every user that has installed AM to compare the real daily payment from the pool with the value shown in AM to understand where AM does a lot of mistakes and also we have to ask Patrike to fix the issue because you will loose lots of money otherwise.

Who thinks the same as I do, that Websockets implementation is 100 times better than this year 90's implementation of request based implementation ?

I'd question the usefulness of real time revenue - I even question the use of 1 hour profitability found on some YIIMP pools when hundreds of other miners are constantly changing into that algorithm because it makes more money at that exact instance. This is further compounded by difficulty changes, fluctuating markets, pool luck, pool PPLNS or similar payment systems, time for miners to reach full speed, etc.

I've found AM to be +/- 20% of estimated profits which considering the above variables I am fine with. For example, my estimated profit was 90 USD (and I didn't even specify the coin the algorithm was mining) and received ~75 USD after conversion to BTC from ahash using Ahash's own 24 hour profitabilty data for profit switching.

I like to disable / limit the number of pools so it does not switch as much, but i'm also interested what those pools are saying their profit is.

I see that many people here don't understand the miners table on Zpool and HashRefinery.
Under the miners table you see a "live" hashrate calculation based on your recent shares. That number WILL FLUCTUATE! It's normal.
You'll see a wild fluctuation depending on algorithm, ranging from 20% to 60%.
I'm constantly mining on these pools using profit switching with my in-house developed software. Nist5 and Neoscrypt are frequent algos we mine and I don't see any problem on the poolside.
Our scrypt miners report 200-800MH/s but they always average 550MH/s (slight overclocked, matches hashrate on miner side)
So it is normal, check the hashrate graph, not the live report, and if you mine for short periods It's like flipping a coin.

Typically I average ~ 650 mh/s for NIST5 however several times Hashrefinery would show 6 mh/s to kh/s for extended periods of time which is several magnitudes under the level of my current hash rate. Has done this over the last 24+ hours.

When looking at my graph, it looks like a saw tooth to be honest with 4 one hour periods of normal hash rate in the 450mh+ and seven two hour periods of basically no hash rate less than 10 mh/s.

The entire day I mined NIST5 so pool switching does't account for the behavior. I understand variance but something else is going on here.

Has anyone successfully added the PHI1612 algorithm? No matter what I do, it always shows up as 0,00 when I view the miner details.

I did:

- Add PHI1612 algorithm
- Enable PHI1612 for ccminer
- Add AHashPool entry for it
- Add LuxCoin json

I can benchmark the algorithm and have saved my hashrate. It also shows up correctly in the "Online services" section with realistic looking profit values. LuxCoin also shows up in the "Coins" section. However, when viewing the miner details it's always fixed at 0,00 , so never gets chosen. In previous versions I added Lyra2z manually and everything worked fine there...

Make sure under the online services you have the correct profile selected. I originally had it on default and phi would show 0.00 (but view details on the miner itself would show a profit calculation and actual profits for phi) and then selected nvidia, phi appeared.

I know its the opposite of your problem but worth a shot to see if it fixes it for you.
