Awesome Miner Guide

How to set up Awesome Miner

Install the management application, add your first miner, and confirm that monitoring data is updating.

1. Install the management application

Download and install Awesome Miner on a supported 64-bit Windows computer. If miners are located on other computers or sites, review the Remote Agent, Remote Proxy, and Server options on the download page.

2. Add license details if required

Awesome Miner can manage up to two miners without a license. An active subscription is required for larger deployments and access to all features. License details are entered in the Registration section of the application options.

3. Add an ASIC or managed miner

For ASIC hardware, use the wizard to scan the local network or add a miner by IP address. For GPU or CPU mining, add a Managed Miner and select whether it runs locally or through Remote Agent.

4. Check monitoring data

Open the miner list and confirm the model, connection status, hashrate, temperature, and active pool. If control actions are unavailable, check the miner’s API access mode and model-specific requirements.

5. Configure pools and profit switching

Add the pool endpoint and public wallet address, then choose a fixed mining configuration or Profit Switcher. A normal pool setup does not require a wallet seed phrase or private key.

6. Add notifications and rules

Configure notifications for conditions that need attention. If you add automated recovery actions, test the rule on one selected miner and confirm the result in the application log.

Menu names and hardware-specific requirements can change between releases. Use the publisher’s documentation for exact settings.

Using remote or web access?

Review authentication, VPN access, user roles, and backup settings before exposing management controls beyond the local network.

Security checklist

Choose the component for your monitoring task

TaskComponent to checkFirst verification
Manage ASICs from a Windows workstationAwesome Miner application and its ASIC setup instructionsAdd one authorized miner and compare its reported model and status with the device web interface.

View the setup through a browserCloud Services or the documented web interface for your installationReview account permissions and service requirements; a browser dashboard is not the miner firmware.

When a miner is missing, first verify the private management address and network route. When it is visible but actions fail, inspect authentication and firmware/API permissions. Record the exact error before changing settings. See the setup guide and download notes.

Confirm the first miner before enabling automation

Record one miner’s IP address, model, firmware, pool and current operating state. Add only that device first and compare the displayed values with its own web interface.
