Lol, there are other algos out there, making me more than an ASIC for SHA or Scrypt would. Not going to tell which or what, else you all will be mining it and I'll get none ^^

PS: GPUs are more fun because they're adaptable. With a Scrypt ASIC, you're stuck to, well, Scrypt and the coins that still use it are going out like flames on candles. GPU will keep up with new algos, which an ASIC can't.
It's the OPs choice of course, but if you want fun, don't pick ASICs

Anything is profitable with free electricity, just the ROI date will change
I'm in a similar situation, electricity included in rent.
I mine only as a hobby though, any crypto I collect is playmoney so I don't care about BTC/fiat value.

My bet? Try with a small rig first, used AMDs or brand new nvidia 750tis. I only have 2x 750tis, but they're loads of fun :Dn
If you like it and are seeing at least some ROI, you can upgrade even more

I've been trying your conf and other combos, and only found (and fixed ) another bug Can't recreate yours. Can I get your complete .conf?

Ah, we're still in "Mining (Altcoins)", I almost thought I was in some shitty thread on Altcoin Discussions lol

But it needs to be able to link together. That's why we need more API control ^^" Epsylon/tpruvot already did a good deal on an API which can read stats, still needs miner control through that API though :p

I wouldn't do the profit switching inside ccminer itself. That's a great field for C#, and should be done API-wise. That's where ccminer needs an update
A separate C# tool could grab prices and profits like my profitcalc does, and switch the miner through a simple API command.
I know now things that I should implement/improve in the profitcalc (like PoS stealing blocks from PoW etc), but too busy with other stuff ATM ^^" *damn guis*

Pool software? Wouldn't it be easier, in C#, if you'd just write client software that would switch locally?
Would be even more fun if ccminer itself could switch through API, flawlessly and multi-algo. Even loadbalancing against % chance of a coin being the most profitable.
Coin A has 80% chance, and most would just mine that. But it would make sense to also loadbalance 20% to the second most probable profitable coin. Or maybe even more

Found and fix'd the bug https://mega.co.nz/#!wBUy2LTb!0i2Q3KLoL1CbqOxIYFFqW8XAYFeMeyXPJQa_0uPoIbw
By using just a number there, MC will think you're inputting it as fiat and convert that minprice to BTC. Put quotation marks " " around the minprice and add BTC to set price in BTC, like this: "minprice":"-0.01BTC",

Don't look at that history tab! I tell you not to J/k
 

Cheaper power
Set your "power" to a lower number or just zero.
Otherwise, you could set "minprice" to a negative number if you want to keep on mining, but not if it gets too extreme.

Seems like it is in demand ^^" Let me take a nap first, then I'll finish the basics of this history charting (don't like to leave something partially), afterwards I'll start on cracking MRR.
I'll probably need some testers, since I've never used MRR myself before. So get your ass on IRC, #MinerControl on freenode (Webirc for the lazy but beware that I'm probably asleep at this moment).

I'm listening How much would that donation eventually sum up to? J/k
I'm currently busy with charting out history + implementing miningpoolhub, but I can make a priority of this with the right motivation ofc

I've been looking into MRR before, but they have some übersecure way of sending an API request, not plug'n'play I guess.
It's a good feature I'm certainly interested in, but it's new ground I'll be treading on, so bear with me there

It's only bad when the coin you're mining next to your "real coin" really has no value at all. This can be especially cumbersome for big pools, where it can be a source of frustration (low value usually means no ongoing development on the coin) with no return of profit.
But in most situations, it's a good thing

Nicehash doesn't have scrypt-jane and MRR & betarigs have no active rigs.

How much hashpower do you need, and at what N factor?

Both would work for nvidia and sgminer You just need to know what you're doing

Seems it fixed + super low fees ATM Grab them while they're hot.

Anyways, Ascenscion just hit Bittrex, it's another Qubit coin, might be worth adding to the list while it's still PoW

Quark is borking ATM. Time to find a block is way too short to be true.

Then he can just use the source from tpruvot's linux branch https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi/tree/linux

This is how a fair launch is supposed to be

Nope, defaults should be fine, I looked through all settings again, and can't spot a problem. Can you give me your complete .conf so I can see what's happening behind the code with your settings.

I first thought you were mining by average, which would be normal, as it flattens out the prices and reduces switches.
Do you have minprofit set too? That also reduces switches. Same for "ignoreoutliers".

Dynamic switching on the other hand speeds up switching.

What kind of miners do you have?

PS: Most of those settings can be handy but need finetuning to your taste. I do not know the ideal values
