Can anyone provide guidance on how to use miningpoolhub (specifically, the "auto profit switching") with Awesome Miner?

I want to automatically do profit-switching, with miningpoolhub, mostly because it allows me to get paid in either the coin I'm mining or in a specific coin (ie - auto convert to ETH instead of to BTC).  BTC fees are way too high so I don't really want to earn profits in BTC like from nicehash or zpool.

This is the help page on miningpoolhub:  https://miningpoolhub.com/?page=gettingstarted


In Awesome Miner, do I create a 'pool group' where I manually add all the algorithm servers and ports?

ie -

Pool1: lyra2z : us-east.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12025
Pool2: cryptonight : us-east.cryptonight-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12024
Pool3: equihash : us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12023
...etc

If so, how do I configure automatic profit-switching, or is that not possible if I'm not using nicehash/zpool?



I'm also asking because miningpoolhub's help page says this too, making me wonder if there is an easier way:





So I'm wondering... if there is some way to just provide 1 pool address at miningpoolhub and Awesome Miner can mine the most profitable coin to that pool address? (if that makes sense)


Thanks

Nice update!!  ^^^


Hey question maybe someone can help with, I have excluded the path to the Awesome Miner application on my Windows machine in my Anti-Virus software (ESET Nod32),  but I'm still having issues where ESET is blocking Awesome Miner from accessing miner apps (perhaps when it downloads them not sure.. maybe that goes to a temp folder somewhere first?)

The AV warning said it deleted a file that Awesome Miner tried to access.


Any advice about what else to exclude from AV?


Thanks

Does nvOC have any way to do automatic coin/algo/profit switching?

How do you delete a miner?  If I un-install the remote agent, it still shows up in the panel as unavailable but it won't let me add anymore miners since I'm at my max,  and I'm not finding where to remove the old remote miner from the panel.

Thanks

I currently have a couple of AMD rigs running on ethOS. I really like ethOS has a dashboard URL and I can peek in from my phone and see my rigs status (temp, hashrate, etc), especially the JSON URL (I wrote a python script to monitor things automatically and email me if a GPU fails)

I guess I'm saying I hope the answer to my question isn't Windows, cause then I guess Teamviewer is my only option 

I'm building an NVIDIA rig now and not sure what direction to go for the OS.

I did see another post here on the forums about "nvOC" (custom Ubuntu 16.04 build) and that actually looks perfect, but wondering if there are some other options I should also consider or if that is a slam-dunk?


Thanks!

Hi guys,

I got 8 GPU's running (RX 580) and to get the 8th one on the motherboard I used an M.2 adapter (M.2 SSD To PCI-E Express 4X Adapter)
My motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z270-A).

This setup is working except that the GPU on the M.2 adapter is getting lower hashrates.

In the BIOS, there's a setting for 2x and 4x on the adapter, and I've tried both settings but I still have the same problem.

All my other GPUs have a hashrate of 29.2 MH/s, but the GPU on the M.2 adapter is slower than stock (22 MH/s). I've swapped the cables with another GPU to confirm the issue, it's definitely whichever GPU is on the M.2 adapter that has low hash rate and is fine otherwise.


Is this normal with M.2 adapters? If I should be getting the same hash rate I'm not sure what else to try.


Thanks

I'm just starting out and starting to look at mining rigs that I maybe want to build or buy, and this might be a stupid question, but when someone says a 6-GPU rig does 160 MH/s for example ....  doesn't this depend on what you're mining?  Or is there some kind of universal meaning to this number.

Like, on my laptop where I'm just playing around to test various mining (not for profit obviously

For Etherium I was getting 4 MH/s,  but on the same laptop on some other coins, I'm getting 49 MH/s.  That's a huge difference. Would I say my laptop rig is 4MH/s or 49 MH/s?


Thanks in advance.

Sounds like starting out with 3x 1080 ti nvidia cards is better than starting out with with a different brands/model GPU x 6,  and I have the capability to add 3 more cards in the future as I pay off the current set up.


I assume things like the Operating system (Windows 10 versus Linux), and what memory, SSD brand, etc don't matter too much... 

But for the MOTHERBOARD and PDU,  can anyone make any recommendations? I need a motherboard that can eventually support 6 x GPU, and a PDU that will be able to handle 6 as well.


Also, how noisy is an open-air system versus closed air?  Is it as loud as for example, when you turn in a 2U server or loud commercial router? What options if you want something as quiet as possible?


What is the advantage of an open air that so many people go this route?  Does it cool better?


Thanks

Thanks the https://blockoperations.com/6-gpu-mining-rig-amd-rx580-intel-lga-1151-ethereum-zcash system looks interesting.

How does one calculate in advance the approx hash rate I'd get on that setup?

Also maybe this is a dumb question but I assume this is good for mining any GPU based coin right? (Not just etherium and zcash)

Hi guys,

Very interested in some kind of mining rig set up...  

My first question is, is it possible for a few thousand dollars to build/buy something that can NET you $400-$500/month? Or what is realistic these days for hardware that can give you that kind of profit. My electricity costs is about $0.12/KW/h


I've been going through these forums and others and can use a bit of direction on mining rigs worth considering...

If YOU had to start all over with a mining rig (GPU based), what would you consider in the following categories:

- as a build-it-yourself? Whose set up seems to be the best these days with fairly easy to follow instructions?

- as a pre-built solution? Who are reputable vendors to consider?  I've been looking at parallelminer.com, miningcave.com. eBay seems to also have some sellers who sell full rigs.


Also is there any reason to prefer either NVidia or AMD GPUs or will either work well.


Thanks for any direction or advice you can offer.
