Nicehash: Mine DaggerHash and Equihash together

[flipme]

Yesterday I started the Nicehash Miner by accident, on top of the already running nheqminer, mining Equihash for BTC.
To my surprise they are going very well together. The rig does almost double the profit now, mining DaggerHash and Equihash together.

Check it out, its great!

If you are talking about GPU mining then NO its not. It needs to be properly coded to dual mine. And I think both algos are mem intensive.

Just try it, the Nicehash Windows nheqminer 0.3a and their standard miner, for BTC.
I was astonished how well it works. Win 8.1, latest Crimson drivers.

Its R9 290 TRIX and memory is at ~ 2GB now GPU 100%

Thank you so much bro
I launched nheqmnier. v5c changed thread usage to -2 and now my ethereum is even mining faster.
You a legend mate.Whoop woop

What command line options are you using ?

He doesn't know what he is talking about.  You can't mine Dagger and Equihash together.

If you do then the speeds will both decrease by 50%

Isn't it that nheqminer mines only on your processor? (CPU)

Worked for me boys

I think a clarification is in order here for the definition of "dual mining".  "Dual Mining" refers to mining TWO coins using ONE of your pieces of hardware ie ETH+DCR, ETH+PASC, etc etc.  Nicehash mines the most profitable coin and divides your GPU's in order to get the most "profit" based on there individual hashrates found when you ran the benchmark.  What you are actually seeing is Nicehash (Excavator) mining Dagger on ONE GPU and Equihash on a separate GPU.  Excavator is just showing the output of ALL of your GPUs so it may LOOK like you are "dual mining" when in fact you a separately mining two different algos using two different GPUs.  Hope that makes sense..
