My profit-switching is not mining Equihash on MPH though that is often the most profitable. I have this log entry: GetAllEnabledPools, couldn't find existing for: MiningPoolHub [Equihash], stratum+tcp://us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023, MiningPoolHub, Unspecified Equihash- Equihash is enabled in Algorithms > Algorithm and Profit-Switching settings
- Equihash is enabled in Online Services for MiningPoolHub and Profit Switching
- Equihash is enabled for the Profit Profile I am using (nVidia GPU)
Can't figure out why/where the "GetAllEnabledPools, couldn't find existing..." is looking and what it doesn't like? |

Hi friends,
I have a dozen AntMiner L3+ and D3 arriving on Oct and Nov. Can someone recommend a vendor providing colocation service in US? I would like to rent data center space for hosting my mining machines.
Or someone have space for sharing; please contact me. I would like to rent the space from you.
best regards.
I have a colocation service in the southeastern US that has top end capabilities and a price on power that no one will beat. Will PM you. |

what is an easy & quick alternative pool to use when zpool is down, that pays in btc?

Is it a good idea to re-benchmark occasionally? Maybe as difficulty changes or other things, an occasional re-benchmark will make estimates and related auto-switching more accurate? Or is that simply not necessary if hardware has not changed?

How low will our returns go? We've seen the mining market drop 50% a couple weeks ago, and then another 50% over the past week.
Other cards must be getting underwater in the power/profit calculation.
1080tis still floating in the positive range, but I hope we are nearing the bottom?

Gents the DIFFICULTY on SPR has risen 3x from the claim of 15 per card. Dont be stupid. It is now $5 per 1080ti a day... barely worth running the card.
Nexus coin is the next hot thing to mine, it is a little less shitty than spread. But idk it just seems like it is all a big gamble buying private miners. You send your $120 and then HOPE that the profit lasts long enough to profit extra or the difficulty & price kills profit then you lose that .05 btc or possibly even more vs mining a slow and steady coin. The same can be expected on Nexus too. I still saying 0.05 to SP for this he is a little too xxxxx but agian that is his ricebowl. Just when you get it and manage to figure out the way to really benefits from it, the game over again..... so if you are not having a big rig or few rigs, best use the $ to buy another 1070! I'd have to agree. I also wonder...if the private miner is so good, why not add a 5% Developer fee and give it to the masses? Seems that would bring the Developer more profit? |

Here's a step by step...
The Managed Profit miner is not auto-switching for me. It stays on the same algo that it starts with. I followed your guide and setup a profit profile with 6 different algos, all using the same miner and with just zpool enabled, and 5 mins for the interval. If I stop and restart the miner, it will sometimes pick a new algo, but it won't switch unless it is stopped. Should it switch automatically? Also what data does the app look at to determine the most profitable algo? Thanks for this great tool. "Awesome" is right. Edit: After many hours the miner has not auto-switched. I still love this software. It saves me a lot of time and helps increase earnings. If auto profit-switching was working the software would be perfect. There are several factors that will determine what a Profit Miner will mine. - 1. Profit Switching interval
- 2. Algorithms selected in the Algorithms tab
- 3. Mining software set to mine those algorithms
- 4. Profit switching profile set to use those algorithms and mining software
- 5. Profit switching profile set with correct hashrates and power for the cards
- 6. Profit Miner set to the correct profit switching profile
- 7. Finally... what the Online service would say is the current most profitable at that check time/interval
All these factors have to line up for AM to switch, and many times is just the luck of the draw when it comes to the interval and what the pool says is most profitable. I've watched AM and MPH for a while to see what happens, and many times, you just miss the most profitable coin because it changes so quickly before the next interval. Now... on the Profit Switching interval: This is how often AM will check the most profitable coin. If you look at the Online Services tab, and then uncheck the pools you are not using in the Display Services dropdown... then you will see just the coins being presented as minable. You also need to change the profit switching profile dropdown to show the profile you will be using. Now, here's where it gets interesting. If you set the interval too low (like your 5 minutes), you could potentially have lots of switching. But, it's only if the pool switches. If you leave it at 30 or 60 minutes, then you will most likely get less switching. This interval is important to think about. If you use something low like 5 minutes, then you could potentially be wasting time during the switch. It could take 30 seconds to a minute to switch to a different miner and ramp up to your normal hashrate. Then just 4 minutes later you could be switching again... loosing another 30 seconds to a minute. You could be wasting 20% of your hashrate during these switches because you are changing too often. A second issue with a fast profit switching interval is the instability of the top coin. If you've ever watched a pool's profit switching algo, or Whattomine then you will see that these coin switches also happen a lot. A coin will hit the top spot, then thousands of profit switching algos will kick in and drive the difficulty up, knocking that coin down the list again. The problem is, you will be stuck mining that coin until the next interval or check that AM does. An even greater problem is that your profit pool still has to go out and exchange that coin to BTC, and it will do that at the spot price at the time of conversion. It will not happen when that coin was profitable for a few minutes or even an hour or two. Let's say a coin shoots up the list and is now worth $1 per coin. Your profit switcher changes to it, and you mine a whole coin (possible if you have a lot of hashrate to throw at it)... then after a couple of minutes, the coin drops down the list because of difficulty from all the other miners switching to it... say to $0.50 a coin. When the pool sends it to the exchanges, you will get at best $0.50 minus all the fees the pool charges for the upkeep of the pool, the exchange fee, and then maybe even a transaction fee. You will get a lot less than that $0.50. So really... was it profitable to switch to this coin? Now imagine you are doing this every 5 minutes... you won't make much profit. You can combat this by increasing the profit switching interval to a much higher number. 30 minutes is probably the minimum you should look at. In my opinion, it's actually better to look at the trends of the coin, rather that what is most popular at that instant. I would prefer to see AM use a weighted measurement average to determine the most profitable coin. For instance, if you set the interval to 30 minutes, it should check to see what "place" it's in. If the coin is in the top spot, it should get a "1". If it's in second place a "2". Then average that number with all the other interval checks over say the past week... and the lowest average number is what you should be mining. That will reduce switching to coins that will not perform well, and will bring more profit. It takes into effect the time it takes for the pool to accumulate coins, send them to the exchange, and then pay you the spot price in BTC. I think a weighted average will give you a lot more consistent profit. I'd love to see this feature Patrike! Thanks puwaha for this excellent explanation and information! |

A general question on autoswitching: Is there a risk my miner may leave/be switched before the block that the pool is working on is complete, and then I would miss the payout for that part of work? Does it make sense to set a longer time between switching, or is it optimal to switch whenever something else is calculating as more profitable?

yip zpool is down.. www.zpool.canothing i can do.. it will keep saying "no pool" until zpool comes back online then it will carry on as normal.. Sorry Nemo ah yes I see now. Good error handling and recovery. Once zpool came back it carried right on benchmarking. |

Getting this error. Only change I made was to uncomment all the algos in ccminerAlexis78.psi.

Can Body help me?  when i starts the clamor on a remote Rig The claymor says no pool specified but i am sure i ve specified the pool.... when i goes direkt to the rig and yousr the awesome miner , the claymore starts without problems Stop the miner, right-click on it and choose "diagnostics". That will start the miner but will also show you the actual command line that is being passed to the miner. With that you can compare the command line that AM is doing to the one you are doing manually that is working, and edit the AM pool or AM miner config until they match. |

Would there be possible to have a separate script running that constantly monitors gpu activity?
As the miner switches between coins/algos/miners the script would have to be running separately... I'm annoyed that I don't have a way of monitoring whenever the miner is down (whether a gpu has crashed, ccminer stopped responding or the pool disconnected).
Has anyone done anything like this around here?
I use hwinfo64 + a simple batch file and powershell script to monitor and send email alerts if gpu temp or gpu power goes outside an expected range. So if any gpu temp goes below 60 for more than a few minutes, I get an sms text with server name, sensor name, and value. 1. use hwinfo's "sensors" widget to set what to monitor and ranges to alert. 2. when the alert is triggered hwinfow will execute a command line and pass variables: the sensor name and current value 4. command line points to a batch file which calls a powershell script and passes the variables (could do this directly to powershell and not need a batch but I add server name and other stuff in batch) 5. powershell script sends an email via gmail's smtp also for recipient address I use my phone's sms gateway address, so the alert comes as a text msg.
What setting can I change to make the auto-switch switch less frequently? I'm seeing the miner switch and start a new instance every 1 minute. With startup time when starting a new algo, there's a few seconds lost every minute. Can I set it not switch for say at least 10 minutes of being on a specific miner+algo? |

Just posting an update.
Zcashpool.ca - using Nemosminer from the posted link up in here. - from June 18-June 24- around 0.01049166 = $ 25 or so lol = Wallet also gave me a message saying "3 blocks are lagging" I don't know what that means. Basically less than $4 a day.
I used the miner exactly it was given to me, just added my BTC address.
Now I'll try Nicehash miner for 7 days and see how it goes. Currently showing me $5.40/day - but since it's keeps changing - so finding out average is better.
Card is 1080ti -
+190 Clock
+200 memory =
power limit 100%
Temp limit 90C -
floating temps I've not seen go over 74C
Per day rates would make any person -who made an investment in this cry lol but thankfully , I did not do this for investment. Maybe I'm a total noob but since it was made clear that we have to learn our own way, I'm doing that now. I'm hopeful that eventually I'd learn.
Before starts on NICEHASH give a try to https://dgb-skein.theblocksfactory.comWith the Alexis78 on SKEIN (DGB). I'm doing about U$10/Day. You can cashout any value from DGB, so give a try. Thanks santana. Are you doing any special startup params in your batch file? setting difficulty? |

I have been running NEMOSMINER for 24hrs on 6-card 1080ti rig using stock settings described by minerx117 here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777336.440Very stable. No issues at all. But profit not big. Just $6.12 per card per day. Feels like big potential with NEMOSMINER and zpool. I am new and just learning though. |

On hmq1725 many "result fox xxxxx does not valiadate on cpu"
why this is happen? Rig with 4x1080ti gigabyte on stock.
hmq1725 is running clean now no update needed I had the issue mentioned earlier Nemo.... 1) Copy tpruvot from miners folder and place on desktop 2) rename it to tpruvot1(or whatever you like) 3) Edit with powershell.. only keep open hmq1725... then on this line add the following Arguments = "-a $_ -o stratum+tcp://$($Pools.(Get-Algorithm($_)).Host):$($Pools.(Get-Algorithm($_)).Port) -u $($Pools.(Get-Algorithm($_)).User) -p $($Pools.(Get-Algorithm($_)).Pass),d=1020$($Commands.$_)" Note.... I run 1080ti's This fixed everything and also now I can add diff to every algo... Hope this helps..... There was also zpool losing connection as well as this problem Thx Fromage...what do you mean by "only keep open hmq1725"? Do you mean remark out all others with #? |
