Title: Quick query - auto switching on MPH
Post by: gmac83help on February 18, 2018, 07:54:42 PM
I have been using DSTM miner to mine ZCash to Nanopool, but today switched to mining ZClassic to MiningPoolHub.  Rig is 4x 1060's, if that matters. 

Regarding autoswitching to the most profitable coin/algorrithm, am I ok to point DSTM towards "europe.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12023" and set the algorithm's i want to use in the "Hub Workers" configuration on MPH?

Or do I need to use a program like Awesome Miner, or Multi Pool Miner to do the switching? 

Thanks,

Gareth

The way you have it configured will switch between coins within the equihash algorithm. Using DSTM the way you have it is the correct way to do this. If you want to switch between different algorithms, you will need additional software.

perfect, thanks.  Switching between equihash will do for now (since these always seem to be at the top of the profitability list for my rig anyway).

Regarding which job to pick in the worker config page on MPH, there is no option for just Equihash in the "Multi Algo Auto Switch", only in the "Algo Auto Switch" section.  Am I ok to use this (just as the FAQ suggests this is more for ASIC miners etc). 

If yes, would I need to change the port to 17203, from 12023?

Thanks again

The Equihash option under Algo Auto Switch is the correct option and the port 12023 will still work.
