Megaminer 6.3 - Multi pool / Multi Algo launcher

[tutulfo]

is it possible to start mining on zpool in manual mode?
To mine only coins I want?

No, Zpool dont allow select coin to mine, only algo to mine. You can start zpool on automode with only one algo enabled by parameter, but pool will select coin to mine from available to that algo.

[tutulfo]

would it be possible to set a minimum profit level...ie. so no mining takes place until level is exceeded?

Possible is but has sense?, at this moment always is profitable mine i think

YIIMP is back !

How do i re-enable it in 4.2 onwards (for auto selection, not manual)

Whilst BTC is dipping i prefer to hold alt-coins and exchange on the way back up when altcoins are usually stronger against BTC - YIIMP allows that and its running on new hardware now so might be quicker

For auto mode you must use 4.1 release Yiimp pool file, I dont recommend, Yiimp api has any kind of limitation and only one call by hour is allowed.

if you weighed up the electricty costs...at times i just break even

With what cards and electricity cost?, for example with Nvidia pascal and 0.12€/kw is far away from being not profitable.

@tutulfo, any thoughts on this question? I guess you missed it. Basically anyway to call a bat file or a command right before the miner starts based on the algo? 

I'd like to add overclock profiles that automatically run when a miner for a given algorithm is launched.
There are 3 profiles - memory only, core only and balanced, each with different voltage points.

The profiles are applied by running a similar command line:

Code:

C:\nvidiaInspector.exe -lockVoltagePoint:1,850000 -setBaseClockOffset:1,0,200 -setMemoryClockOffset:1,0,250

What would be the easiest way to achieve this?

Sorry I missed it as you say. Without add this option in sourcecode I think only one posibility exists, it is replace each miner .exe for a .bat. This Batch must listen input parameters, call your program and call real miner with parameters.


I will add an option to each miner called PrelaunchCommand to next release, I think it is easy to do.

Edit: it was really easy, I will upload next release with this feature in one hour.

ha ha ... i wish my electricity was .12 its closer to .20, and my power consumption for a 1080ti,a 1080 and i7 is 653w

anyway it was just a thought, like i say at times it has come close to just breaking even

Wow!!  I thought my country electricity cost was expensive....

Thanks, but its better to be based on algorithm, is it possible? Probably setting in the config file?

Wonderful, thanks. Can you modify it to be per algo just like @zorvalth said?

Memory-heavy algos like solo ethash only needs memory OC and can work with really low core voltage.
Core-heavy algos like Scrypt, X15, Skein, Groestl, etc., don't need memory so it would be wise to drop memory clock to minimum to save some power and increase the core speed/voltage.
Balanced algos like equihash, dual ethereum and monero (I think) need both memory and core, so a max overclock on both would be excellent.
Other algos are less intensive and this allows higher core voltage and clocks within a given temp target.


Another suggestion would be to factor miner devfee into calculations. Claymore's ETH has 1% solo and 2% dual, Claymore's Zcash and Monero has 2% (SSL) and 2.5% (non-SSL), Fireice's XMR miners have 2%, EWBF has 2% by default (can be turned off). Other miners afaik don't have devfees.

I do exactly that with Afterburner - it works just fine - remember to mod all the Miner files though to switch back - With NVIDIA, flipping from ethash and other algos require major canges on memory overclock and a significant performance difference

you means change *.json file on the miners folder and set (CC-MC) clock for all file ?

I call a .cmd file and place the relevant instructions in the command file

i.e. for v4.2
Miners\ccminer-2.2.json

Code:

..
"Path" : ".\\Bin\\NVIDIA-ccminer-2.2\\ccminer.cmd"..

... Bin\NVIDIA-ccminer-2.2\ccminer.cmd

Code:

title %*
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.exe" -profile5
"ccminer-x64.exe" %*

Repeat for each entry you are using in Miners
I save the profiles in Afterburner but you can use any utility for the desired effect

No, Zpool dont allow select coin to mine, only algo to mine. You can start zpool on automode with only one algo enabled by parameter, but pool will select coin to mine from available to that algo.

But I found how to do this
By setting $Divisor and @@CURRENCY=coin to mine

I did some experimentation , these days and nicehash is the best option , although zpool showing 30-40% more profit the final result is the sam even a little less than nicehash! This is for 3x1080ti 1x1080 and 3x1070 , zpool was showing that 0.04-5 a day , but at the end it was 0.0031 for 24h as i left all the blocks to mature! And using nicehash i got 0.0034btc for the same 24h! Megaminer was set to 1 automatic 24h mode , for zpool , hashref, multipoolhub!

Got stuck on benchmark, it's not ends, how to skip it?

[papi92]

Hello guys! How to change location to europe? When I replace "-Location US" with "-Location EUROPE" I can't connect to the pools.

Got stuck on benchmark, it's not ends, how to skip it?

either delete Nvidia-ClayDual160_Ethash_Blake14r_HashRate.txt from /stats/ folder and try to run again, or edit it and manually set the second value
it fails to detect secondary algo sometimes

@tutulfo, perhaps when you search for max value, the eth max value was paired with 0 secondary and then it fails to update it as pair?

No, this is the code for update stats, if miner needs bechmarks (it is same var used to show "benchmarkin" msg) and actual readed value is greater than stored value stats are updated

  $Value=[long]($Miner_HashRates[0] * 0.95)

  if ($Value -gt $_.Hashrate -and $_.NeedBenchmark) {
                                                $ValueDual=[long]($Miner_HashRates[1] * 0.95)
                                                $_.Hashrate= $Value
                                                $_.HashrateDual= $ValueDual
                                                Set-Hashrates -algorithm $_.Algorithms -minername $_.Name -value  $Value -valueDual $ValueDual
                                                }

While benchmarking must appear speed on active miners section and must appear a file on stats folder with this value on it.
