Love the Cypto only mode update you guys released. Any idea on when the mobile app will be updated to show the changes? It shows est earnings in Fiat but it does not have the option to show current ballances in BTC on statistics page.

Thanks,
SkyViper

Very soon. :-)

P.S. The mobile app is still in pre-release. Kindly direct all questions pertaining to it to support@winminer.com

Thanks for the reply and I'll send future inquiries to support.

Feedback/feature request for both the web portal and mobile app, can we get more control of the miners? Specifically I want to be able to adjust the settings on the Coins tab remotely from a single pane, not logging in to each machine to change coins machines are mining.

For your backend processes have you looked at ChainLink?

https://www.smartcontract.com/link

They have smart contracts that integrate blockchains to current solutions, ie banks, credit cards. May be a way to cut cost and expand product offerings for you guy.

the Linux version can be compatible with ARM CPU-s? to run on raspberry or orange pi as well

I'm going to play dumb here and ask why would you want a version to run on a pi? I can't think of a single scenario that you would GPU mine with a pi as the controller.

We would really like to know if you be interested in a 100% crypto WinMiner type service (balance in BTC, withdrawals only in crypto) if it offered higher estimated returns (by giving up the hedging and USD withdrawal methods)?

I would be interested in a coin only payment option. However I'd be more interested in payment to LTC, BCH or ETH than BTC.

As the Asic resistance intensifies (e.g. XMR, Sumokoin) we have been making the required integrations to support the upcoming hard forks, and at the same time, extend the WinMiner arsenal of miner softwares.
Say hello to v1.19a -
- XMR-stak (formerly on WinMiner for CPU only) now supports  both CPU AND GPU mining, for AMD and nVidia, for cryptonight, Cryptonight Heavy and Cryptonight V7
- Cast-XMR - updated to the latest version to support upcoming hard fork (Cryptonight and Cryptonight V7)
- Claymore CryptoNote CPU updated to the latest version
- Claymore latest GPU version integration completed and will kick in with the first block
Enjoy  Smiley
Will be interesting to see the impact of the upcoming HF on the mining difficulty for those coins and their mining profitability...
Never a dull moment in Crypto..

It is paying off nicely...

(with mining earnings that havent been seen for a while...)

Hope you are all enjoying it  Smiley

It's definitively nice to see see margins higher than 20% for a change.

The live dashboard is not working. The status page also does not appear to be updating. We have rebooted our miners and verified they are running but they are not being seen on the website.

All logs submitted, sent you guys log files for the 7 GPU AMD rig with 6 GPUs installed and 7 GPUs installed. Also sent you a log file with 12 GPUs installed for two systems, one all AMD system and a mixed AMD/NVIDIA system.
Thanks,
SkyViper
Thank you!
Logs analyzed and email response with next steps sent to you  Smiley
Logs sent from new client version.
Thank you! that was very helpful.
We have identified the issue and Devteam is working on a fix - hopefully to be released with the next version.  Smiley

Got the latest build from TeamWinMiner and it resolved our issue with reporting stats. Also, CPU utilization on our 12GPU rigs has decreased from 99% to 68% with this build.

Thanks guys!!

TeamWinMiner,
Since the addition of the fan, temp, power monitors I have noticed on our rigs that it fails to show the status of AMD cards if there are 7+ GPUs installed. As mentioned in prior posts we run 12 card systems with 6 AMD and 6 NVIDIA cards in them. In all our systems the 6 NVIDIA cards show the Fan, Temp and GPU Power but the AMD cards show nothing. Also, we have one system that has 7 AMD cards that does not show any of the aforementioned features. However, if we drop the card count to 6 or less all features are present in pure AMD, pure NVIDIA, or even mixed deployments. The catalyst seems to be the addition of the 7th card in which AMD cards will show nothing. It does not affect the performance of the systems and is a novelty feature for us.
Let me know whatever you need and I'll shoot it over to you, logs, screenshots etc.
Thanks,
SkyViper
Dear Skyviper,
Thank you for reporting this and for your help!
We definitely want to fix that  Smiley
Best info for us would be:
(1) Logs from the mixed 12 GPU rig
(2) Logs from the 6 GPU rig - when everything works well
(3) Logs from the same rig when you add one more GPU (7 GPUs in total) and the features cease to show
Please write your name and a short description for each file you send (in the comments section of the send error report feature)
Thanks so much for your support!

All logs submitted, sent you guys log files for the 7 GPU AMD rig with 6 GPUs installed and 7 GPUs installed. Also sent you a log file with 12 GPUs installed for two systems, one all AMD system and a mixed AMD/NVIDIA system.

Thanks,

Is there a way currently to set a device to mine a specific coin?

In the Coin menu you can choose the coins, but not what device mines which coin.

Or am I missing something in "job decision" that will do this?

Thanks

No there is not a way to do what you are asking.

Happy Thursday everyone!

We have a new WinMiner version - v1.104a with some great news and features you have asked for:

(1)   GPU mixup is history! – GPUs are now correctly identified and the correct performance is shown next to the correct GPU

        While this is great, the real importance is that it now paves the way to additional per GPU features that many of you have requested.

(2)   GPU metrics now at your fingertips:

       - GPU fan speed
       - GPU temp
       - GPU power consumption (in Watts)
       - More coming...

(3)   Updated Dashboard to reflect all those goodies  Smiley

(4)   We have also added social media links for easy access.

Enjoy! And may the mining force be with you!  Smiley

  


This update broke our mixed GPU miners, see attached screenshot.

thanks for that pic. How do you manage to get more than 8 GPUs working on Windows at the same time? Would it work if you had 8 RX 580 and 8 GTX 1060? I wonder... Also, which remote management program do you use?

On a different note, I wonder if there is a bug with WinMiner when it comes to the wattage metrics. I love that feature, but there is something wrong with it when I test it on a Vega 64 rig. It shows 0W power consumption when you are not mining, and when you start mining everything seems fine at first, when the cards begin to work the wattage meter slowly and steadily increases, but... I am pretty sure there is a bug with it, because the metrics never go above 100W.

It stays at 100W for extended periods of time, sometimes it drops to 99W and the like, but it never ever goes above 100W. I am pretty sure that can't be the case 'cos I measured the power consumption off the wall, and each card is on the 140-150W range.

First, the RMM program we use is ConnectWise Control. My company is an MSP provider in Central Arkansas that also hosts a mining co-location facility.

We spent lots of R&D time for our mining rigs to get 12-GPUs running but essentially you are limited to 8 AMD GPUS using the blockchain driver and 8 NVIDIA using their drivers. That means you can have at most 16 cards with those driver sets. If you were to use the latest AMD drivers you could use up to 12 AMD cards in a system followed by 8 NVIDIA cards. We use a mix of Biostart TB250-BTC Pro and ASUS B250 Mining Expert Boards with 12/19 PCI-e slots respectively. Power connectors is the limiting factor TBH since EVGA and a select others have PSUs with connector counts for more than 4 GPUS on a single PSU. Each rig has a 1300 EVGA G2 series powering the AMD cards pulling 1050W max power when dual mining and a 1000w EVGA G2 powering the NVIDIA cards pulling 855w when dual mining. Everything is housed in a custom build 12-slot chassis we have manufactured by a local company.

As for your question about a bug the power WinMiner is reading is the GPU only power draw which is not the total power of the graphics card as well as the system. A reading of 100w GPU only power should see a reading at the wall of approx 130-140w depending on what's being mined so I'd say everything is working normal.
that's very, very interesting... Nice, now I know my Vega 64 cards rig is finely tuned. What stills puzzles me is the fact that the numbers are "too precise". I mean, they are always either 99W or 100W...  Smiley

Although I kinda knew the rig was well tuned after measuring the power draw at the wall, that also confirms it. I am going to check the reported power draw of WinMiner on my Vega 56, 'cos I now know it's not a bug.

In regards to the 8 cards limit, I commented on that, and someone told me this "Windows HAD an 8 GPU limitation, the fall creators update and subsequent AMD/Nvidia drivers fixed it. Now we do not know if any OS or Driver limit exists anymore (max ive read people being able to do is 22 GPU's using mining cards and splitters etc).".

So maybe you can actually try more cards! Best regards.

Yes, there used to be an 8 card limit imposed by the WDDM 2.0 driver model in Windows 10 but the fall creators update released WDDM 2.3 which removed that limitation. To what number we do not know and have not tested since it's hard enough to get 12 cards working correctly in a system. I have seen a video on YouTube of a guy mining with 32 cards on Windows 10 using splitters but it's not something I want to try.
