You have to realize the people renting you hash on nicehash are also miners. They have their setup so they mine the most profitable coins(unless they are clueless)..........or if nicehash is more profitable, you get to rent. In other words it is highly unlikely you will be able to pay a rental fee and make a profit because you can't rent if the miner can mine something better. What rental IS good for is speculation on a coin. If you think(for some reason) that coin X will be selling for a high enough price later, you can then consider rental as an investment in a future sale. Also some people don't care about profit. They want to support a particular coin, so they rent.

Short version......if you want to play around with rentals, define your goal. If it is to support a coin, then rent away. If it is for profit, set a calculated price on nicehash and leave it. If it mines cheaply you get some coins and a gain. If your price is too low then nicehash is simply your btc bank until you cancel the order.

Since you are using auto-switching, you have to do a bit of clicking to check your hashrate and shares.........at least until the pool owner makes some planned changes to the home page.

First click on "auto-switches" at the top left of any page, then look to see which coin your auto-switch pool is mining at that moment. Next click on that coin and then click "dashboard" to see your hashrate. You can also click on pool or blocks for more info if needed.

Since you are new to mining, I'd suggest you do a bit of investigation about which algo or coin to mine at any point in time. Whattomine and Coinwarz will help. miningpoolhub's scrypt pools are very small with few coins or miners, which can hurt your profit(I say profit, but serious doubt any profit exists in scrypt). X11 is often very similar. Right now the ETH, Equihash, and Crytonight profit should be better...........assuming you make wise hash rental decisions. Good luck

Yes, I saw it was set to false. My point was that you should document it(once ready) so people know how to set it to true and/or adjust the time.

@aaronsace I see you have added a "Donate" for 10 minutes line to your 2.4.3.2, yet that isn't documented or mentioned anywhere. Care to explain it's intent?

The coins got mined while testing your powershell LMAO

I'm using auto-exchange.....so I repeat, why are they still being mined on MPH?

If I wanted to multi-pool mine and withdraw/exchange coins myself, I would. Done it for years. I don't want to do that. Hence I use auto-exchange. IF maxcoin is on another exchange, why isn't MPH set up there? If there isn't and exchange for maxcoin, I once again repeat.........my is it being mined on MPH?

Then why are they still being mined on MPH?

Why are the maxcoins not going to exchange?

@Claymore........have you considered writing your own drivers?

Maybe you think I've said something bad. I think you have been great taking your free time to help free of charge. I commend you and truly appreciate it. I could tell you a shitload of things you could get a powershell to do, but the community would go into total freakout mode.

My simplest suggestion is to force user input before the benchmark to set parameters of testing. If they know what already works for their rigs that is golden. If they don't know they can just opt for the default test.
 

That is not entirely true. Your program doesn't test even various "i" settings. I like what you are trying to do, but it is far from a test all cards and algos to mine the best. I could go on at length about the various things you should add to your program, but the biggest one is for it to test at LEAST user input "i" settings during the benchmark. I know, I know, you don't want to crash rigs, I get it.

Sounds like you have it set up correctly, but are not understanding the labels. Coins listed under "credited" are mined coins you can withdraw or move to the exchange to be sold. "Credited for auto exchange" contains mined coins that will go to the exchange soon if you do nothing.(in the coin wallet you can move them to "credited" if you wish so they are not sold). "On exchange" are mined coins already transferred to an exchange to be sold/converted into your desired coin. Once the coins are "on exchange" you just have to wait until they get sold, then your desired coin will appear in "Credited"

The sgminer neoscrypt doesn't work for me either, but it is not important to me since the neoscrypt algo doesn't have a coin worth mining(profit wise). Right now FTC would be the most profitable but is terrible when compared to other algo coin. For my rigs neoscrypt would make roughly 5 times less than ETH/Equihash/Skein

@miningpoolhub

Can you please checkup on some coins that have been on exchange for ages? I posted about this weeks ago and they are still stuck. Example: Verge-Scrypt   0   0   409.70969140 <------been that way for many weeks. I don't mine them any more(unless of fail-over) so this just clutters up my balance page.

@aaronsace  I finally got the script working and honestly don't have a clue what the problem was, nor what fixed it. Same thing was happening on two machines but after doing and redoing 3-5 times on each machine it finally works. I can only conclude there was a problem with my connection to the pool, since all other factors were tested/removed. Firewall/AV changes etc. had no effect. So quite frankly I'm stumped as to what happened.

I guess I didn't explain that very well. I mean it is opening up Clay Eth miner 40, Claymore Eth miner 20, sgminer gpu algo's etc. etc. at the same time, which of course means the benchmark is worthless. It is opening more than one at a time, and not closing the previous benchmark test. I went to grab a beer and came back to 9 open gpu mining windows :0

@aaronsace........something seems wrong with V2.3

During benchmarking it is opening several miners at once

@aaron, claymore released 9.7

I personally wouldn't buy a Baikal again. The ROI when I bought mine($500 when they first released them) was a bit less than 90 days. Now it is closer to 300 days and even that is after Baikal dropped the price to $300. My mini makes about a dollar a day now

Could you set one of your Baikal's to mine the ASIC Baikal to see if you have problems? I've been watching mine(since I'm bored) and the problem seems to happen SOMETIMES on a coin change. It doesn't do it every time, but when mine goes down it is during a coin change.

This is what mine is doing. In fact it was down when I just checked it and got it going again.
