Megaminer 6.3 - Multi pool / Multi Algo launcher

[Nekor]

Is it possible to add DSTM miner (I get better hashrates with this over any CUDA miner) and m7m algo?

[falsealarm_bf]

How do we exclude one of the GPUs from mining? Does that need to be done at each miner's binary level?

[tutulfo]

Sorry for time out, changes in my life and a long holidays made me impossible answer questions. This changes in a future makes me very difficult to get new releases and follow thread daily.


Release 4.4

*Added option to miners file to launch a command before run (for example nvidiainspector, afterburner, etc)
*Added Sgminer for Tribus and Veltor algos on AMD
*Added X11gost to Sgminer for AMD
*Added Skunk Algo to Whattomine virtual pool
*Added Location to "Profits" and "Active Miner" sections
*Added new pool Flypool (only manual mode Zcash mining)
*Added PHI and HSR algos to Nvidia
*Added CcminerAlexis-hsr, ccminerNanashi, ccminerPalgin, ccminerPalgin for nvidia
*Optimized selected miner for each algo (thx MikeBuzz)

*Updated ccminer Tpruvot to 2.2.2
*Updated ccminer Klaust to 8.14b cuda9

*Fixed: GB location not choosing EUROPE pools always
*Fixed: WTM virtual pool not getting same result as WTM web due to default hashrates changes on WTM Web
*Fixed: Skein profit calculation error

No global option, it needs to be done at each miner file

[tutulfo]

Hey tutulfo, quick question for you buddy,

I've tried putting in the data equihash miner myself but due to the way it reads the server name, it doesn't like the stratum+top part at the beginning. For example it just wants zpool.ca instead of stratum+tcp//zpool.ca but can't figure out how to remove it without removing it for all the pools and miners any pointers on where I can include it?

Thanks mate.

If you are talking about DTSM, I´m trying integration now. If not, protocol is defined on each pool file not in miner file.

Configured like this, I am getting an error, that Flypool and Suprnova are not valid pools names and also "window cannot be wider than the screen buffer" error. If I remove pools names and leave only MPH it gives the same "window cannot be wider than the screen buffer" error, but kinda starts to download an benchmark different coins, but everything is displayed incorrectly, its not aligned and there are also other errors present. I setup some wallets in Suprnova and some in MPH, the one in flypool I can ignore.
How should I properly setup this miner?

M7M is cpu only algorithm, cpu mining is not suportted.

DTSM will be included in next release, you can download files from github (include.ps1 and miner\dtsm.json) minutes ago.

You are triying start manual mode pools (suprnova and flypool) on automatic mode. If you use start.bat you can see what mode has each pool. A valid automatic line will be for example

powershell -version 5.0 -noexit -executionpolicy bypass -command "&.\core.ps1 -MiningMode AUTOMATIC -PoolsName Mining_Pool_Hub,zpool,nicehash

"window cannot be wider than the screen buffer" is due to low resolution screen config, check your terminal server parameters before connect

Why benchmarking the same miner for different pools and continent? It is a waste of time and power , it tests ebfw or other miners for zpool eu and zpool us and other pools - the result is the same why benchmarking?

Each miner is only benchmarked one time for each algo

[liomojo1]

My stupid , I was mislead by the benchmark opening screen!!!

[OverEasy]

I was wondering if you have consider support for users to add their own pools?

A good example is when using whattomine often high paying coins come up that SuprNova or the ones you use do not list.

Like PIRL. I mine PIRL at pirl.minerpool.net:8004 and would love to be able to use my any pool I want while using WhatToMine virtual.

Thanks for consideration

I love the idea of this software. I am however experiencing network instability when i use it.
When i start it, it works fine. But after some time the hashrates go down, and it looks like to overload my wifi connection.
Even RDP is not working anymore at that time so i am forced to restart the machine.

If i use the same config to start a miner without megaminer then is keeps on running stable. So it is not a hardware or settings issue.

I have no ability to get a wired network to test. The Wifi however is stable untill i run megaminer.

Any ideas on this issue? Is megaminer opening loads of simultanious connections or something? Data thruput is not the issue.

Thanks!

Strange....MM only has one network activity: pool API comunication. I have a rig with a extremely poor wifi connection and never seen that. What interval are you using?, perhaps you have too small interval (<60 secs) and this generates too many network activity.

I´ll try to investigate open connections.

Thanks for your reply. I am using a 600 sec. interval. Sometimes mij CPU and mem usage get suspiciously high. I sometimes get the feeling that there might be multiple processes running. So when it starts a new miner, the old one might keep doing something in the background (although i can't find anything to back my feeling up)

Maybe i should download MM all fresh and new to be sure that there is nothing screwed up in the previous download.

When launching with Nicehash the benchmark process hangs the script. The miner is running away but the script never updates. I started with "-PoolsName AHASHPOOL,HASH_REFINERY,NICEHASH,ZPOOL". If I disable NICEHASH the other pool benchmark and run just fine. Any suggestions to debug would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just test same launch conditions and bechmarks runs well.

If miner shows speed but ActiveMiner section on MM dont it seems api comunication problem, I see for your post 3333 port is used, it is correct.

I can´t get same bug on development enviroment, I only can tell you to use other pools for benchmarking.
