Hi there,

I have 8.800 KH/s Scrypt GPU miner and I am wondering where to point my miners for best profits ( scrypt-n, x11, x13 or NiceHash MultiAlgo ) ?

According to poolpicker.eu there are much better places to GPU mine right now, thing is I don't know how to set up my BAMT & Config Files to do so..

Can someone PLEASE help me out here, I would like to be more profitable with my miners..

I run BAMT and after I purchased my Miners all I had to do is to edit my config file in BAMT with my BTC address and pool data to mine on clevermining..

What do I need to do to be able to mine another Algo ?

Any help is appreciated..

TradeMyBit is a good pool with a large variety of coins/algos to mine. Best to mine either X11 or X13 on there and auto exchange feature to auto trade for BTC.

For Scrypt-N, find a pool that does merge mining with Vert and Monocle/Pharallax.

Otherwise, you can also mine CryptoNight coins, ie. FCN,XMR,XDN,QCN,BCN and/or AEON. You can FCN merge mine on minergate with either XMR,XDN,QCN or BCN and use Claymore's CryptoNote GPU miner.

Thanks for the answer, really appreciate it, but it does not help me at all..

I would like to know HOW TO SET UP my BAMT to be able to Mine another algorithm..

So far all I can Mine is Scrypt with my Mining Rigs.
I got them each with BAMT on USB Stick connected to motherboard, and with sgminer 4.0.0 as mining software

Once more, when I purchased the rigs all I had to do is to change BTC address and pool data in BAMT config file and I was able to mine..

Now Scrypt is not more so profitable for GPU Miners and I would like to SWITCH to another algo to make a bit more profit ( With my Free Electricity ).

So my questions is : How can I Set Up my BAMT to be able to mine another Algo ( x11, x13, scrypt-n, og etc.. ) ??

Thanks for any STEP BY STEP instructions on how to switch my GPU Miners to the most profitable algorithm right now..

For Example, I found this on NiceHash MultiAlgo Mining ( BETA )..
What do You think about this..Is this the MOST PROFITABLE option for a GPU Miner Today ?

They say : Make sure you're using the latest sgminer-5.0 with algorithm-switching support - GET IT HERE

And the Link goes here : https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer

But I really don't know which one to use and how to download/start the new Miner software on my BAMT Rigs to be able to mine other algos..

Once more, this is the CLOSEST I could find to understand how to set it up..

P.s. Would be GREAT if this sgminer 5.0 is able to FINALLY mine any algo so I could also use them to mine anywhere else, not just on NiceHash by just editing the CONFIG file with new data ( Vercoin, x11,x13 coins etc. )..

Any Help is HIGHLY appreciated..

Use poolpicker.eu (http://poolpicker.eu/) to get an overview of many pools and their profitability.

Thanks for the answer, really appreciate it..I am already using Poolpicker.eu

My question was HOW TO SET UP my BAMT to be able to Mine another algorithm based on the poolpicker.eu profitability..

So far all I can Mine is Scrypt with my Mining Rigs.
I got them each with BAMT on USB Stick connected to motherboard, and with sgminer 4.0.0 as mining software

Once more, when I purchased the rigs all I had to do is to change BTC address and pool data in BAMT config file and I was able to mine..

Thanks for any STEP BY STEP instructions on how to switch my GPU Miners to the most profitable algorithm right now..

BAMT is a Linux distro. So depending if the version you have is 32/64 bit, just download the linux version of SGminer. Or you can update via terminal.

Since your not good with BAMT, why not use window first until you learn more?

Thanks for the comment..

How can I update to the new linux sgminer via terminal ?

You can try Mjollnircoin, Hefty algo and there is no ASIC for it till now.

Thanks for the comment..

Is anybody mining here: https://nicehash.com/ I heard it is very good pool to mine!

Hi there, please use poolpicker.eu to get the latest stats on various mining pool profitability's and reviews..

Once more, How can I update to the new sgminer via BAMT terminal to be able to mine any Algo ?

You have to use the sudo get-app command, something like that. I haven't used Linux for nearly a year. Google it...The update will happen via the github.

Really appreciate your comment..But I don't know how..

Is there anyone who could write a step by step How to ?

i can't, sorry gave up on bamt for driver reasons on my older cards.

You should search for .conf files for bamt.

they will look like the one you posted.

here is one of mine for sgminer on windows. it's probably imperfect, but it works

{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://axis-stratum.pool.mn:7852",
      "user" : "xxxxxx",
      "pass" : "xxxxx"
   }

],
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "30",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "29",
"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-engine" : "900",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-memclock" : "1300",
"intensity" : "18",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"kernel" : "x13modold",
"temp-target" : "72",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-cutoff" : "90",
"shaders" : "0",
"worksize" : "256",
"xintensity" : "0",
"rawintensity" : "0",
"failover-switch-delay" : "60",
"auato-fan" : true,
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"tcp-keepalive" : "30",
}

the settings mem, engine, threads, worksize, thread concurrency, intensity, etc are all specific to your gpu. you should be able to find examples by searching.

if i am mining x13 i need to designate the x13mod kernel, and specify its location( bin folder).

i think the api stuff was inserted by cgwatcher, an overseer program.

hope this helps. someone using bamt could help you better

oh, for me i have to save the file in the folder with sgminer and name it sgminer.conf

i'm really not the right person to try to help you with it, but i feel your frustration.

i'm pretty sure you need to download the recommended sg version.

put it wherever your other  miner is and start it the same way.

the maurucoin algo is the x13 and the darkcoin is x11.

play with that conf file, or whatever it's called in linux till you get some shares.

maybe don't try actively switching till you can get going on a single algo at a single pool.

those files are very punctuation sensitive so if you delete anything make sure you get the commas and quotes right.

use whatever specs for memclock, etc that came with the miners.

good luck

Once more, I don't have any problems with configuring my conf file..

The Main problem I have is I don't know how to update my sgminer 4.0.0. to the Miltialgo sgminer 5.0.

So once more, Can anyone tell me How to update to the new sgminer via BAMT terminal to be able to mine any Algo ?

as far as i understand, your not going to be "updating" sgminer 4.

your going to be not using it and using the new sgminer.

so, once more ;), you need to download it first. either with the built in browser or the terminal.

i did a search for you and found some instructions here.

http://tabletuser.blogspot.com/2014/06/nicehash-mining-using-bamt.html

1. create "sgminer5" folder using terminal "mkdir /home/user/sgminer5" or ctrl+n in File Manager from target folder (home/user).

2. download sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-22-linux-i386.zip from Nicehash software page https://nicehash.com/software/ LINKor terminal
 "wget https://nicehash.com/software/sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-22-linux-i386.zip"
 using file manager copy to new folder you just created (sgminer5)

3. from File Manager, while in sgminer5 folder, open terminal (F4) and enter "unzip *.zip"

4. from terminal "export DISPLAY=:0 && export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 && export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100" or remove the && and do one at a time.

5. from terminal "aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt" should see all your cards, if not rerun #4, #5, reboot, #4, #5, give up.

6. test sgminer from terminal "./sgminer -n" should run a good report.

7. In terminal "wget https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo/sgminer-multi-7950.conf" then "leafpad *.conf" or from browser https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo/sgminer-multi-7950.conf LINK

8. Your sgminer.conf is located in /root/.sgminer/ so make sure you "Show Hidden" or ctrl+h for File Manager to see it or in terminal "leafpad /root/.sgminer/sgminer.conf" Copy paste contents into your sgminer.conf.  I bookmark sgminer.conf location to make it easier.

9. Edit and add your BTC address to each pool address.  I changed my password to "d=0.08" for X11 and X13. I also deleted the last pool entry (remove that last comma).  After making changes use the JSON validator to find errors, saved me lots of wasted time.
http://jsonlint.com/ LINK  i.e., "password" : ""x"" in download conf is invalid so change to "x"

You can start mining by running "./sgminer" from "/home/user/sgminer5" takes about a minute for screen to appear.

-optional

10.  You can create a bash script and label it "x11.sh", make sure you terminal "chmod a+x x11.sh" so it will execute the commands below or use File Manager to change permissions and check the execute button.

added this for clarity: You created and empty file and name it "x11.sh"? and made it executable? No then with File Manager in the /home/user/ folder using mouse: "right click - New- Blank File"
then "right click - leafpad" and add content below.  If leafpad option doesn't appear, do F4 "leafpad x11.sh" or whatever name you just gave that new file.

#!/bin/bash
sudo /etc/init.d/mine stop
sleep 30
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
cd /home/user/sgminer5
screen ./sgminer

Now from terminal you can "./x11.sh" just have to be in the user/home folder, thats the default location for lxterminal to open.
I was able to use this guide for PIMP OS and get it working, but I had to "sudo apt-get install pcmanfm" and "sudo apt-get install lxterminal" I launched pcmanfm and lxterminal from Tux Commander, look for box with "root@pimp" beside it.  I found the include file manager and terminal annoying to use.

Hit the like button, or something like that. Leave me a note if you found this guide helpful.  Should I include screen shot, pictures in future guides?

Really thanks for the instructions my friend, but as you can notice I am a Newbie regarding BAMT update/configuration.

I think the BEST OPTION for me is to download a BAMT version which already has this Multialgo sgminer 5.0 and to just flash my USB Stick-s for each Miner with the NEW BAMT which has the required Multialgo Miner..

Is there any ready to download BAMT image which already has this Multialgo sgminer 5.0 ?

What is the LATEST version of BAMT that I can download and add to my USB stick to boot my Miner with ready to go Scrypt, Scrypt-n, x11, x13, Keccak etc. sgminer so all I have to do is to edit the conf file and start Mining..

Please help me out here, need this BAMT version that can mine anything by only configuring the conf file..

My miner is not working right now, TIME is Money, Please help me out here  :(

Replied on your other thread.

Thank you for this information.
