Title: Mine multiple currencies? Looking for your feedback!
Post by: nwoolls on July 08, 2013, 12:43:54 AM
As I started dabbling in multiple crypto-currencies I began to gather more and more batch files that would mine different coins using different combinations of GPU's and USB devices on my rigs. For instance maybe I wanted all GPU's on Litecoin, or some on Novacoin and some on Litecoin, etc.

So I created a simple application that makes it very easy to setup multiple currencies and then to toggle each individual mining device on a system between those coins. It also has a mode that will automatically choose the most profitable coin.

The official thread for the software, MultiMiner, is here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248173.0). I'm not trying to cross-post or spam but thought folks in this forum might appreciate the software and have some feedback. You can also dig around and contribute to the source code here (https://github.com/nwoolls/multiminer).

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Just a small bump to note that PR4 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ryzr1qh3ggnr6a/MultiMiner_PR4.zip) is up with lots of small fixes and improvements, notably:

  • Option to base profitability on any of the following: Adjusted Profitability, Average Profitability, or Straight Profitability
  • Option to toggle Desktop Mode, which will override miners with the -I D flag
  • Option to disable GPU support, allowing the program to be used without Open CL
  • Fixed crashes after deleting a coin that is currently selected for mining
  • Gracefully handle using the app without backend miners installed
  • Support for minimizing the app to the notification area in Windows

Your feedback is welcome!

There are lots of small improvements and fixes, but the highlights are:

  • A standard Windows installer is now provided
  • Option to automatically download cgminer
  • New options for adjusting profitability
  • Option to detect and prompt to kill miners the app does not own
  • Improved options for relaunching miners, including watching for sick, dead, frozen, or crashed miners

Tell your friends & feedback welcome!
