Megaminer 6.3 - Multi pool / Multi Algo launcher

[OverEasy]

Version 5.2 is asking for password for new phi miner.
The password is elbandiminer
I have typed it in a million times. It keeps asking.
I even downloaded the zip outside of your app and extracted it into the folder but your app keeps asking anyways.
Don't think PHI is gonna run because of this.

Upsss....change uri in miner file to

Good idea adding electric cost but this makes no sense to me

--Electricity cost, you can use this converter to get your BTC cost http://www.xe.com/es/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=0%2C012&From=EUR&To=XBT
--Example for all day cost [{"HourStart":0,"HourEnd":23,"CostKwhBTC":0.00000105609}]
--Example for two periods cost [{"HourStart":12,"HourEnd":21,"CostKwhBTC":0.00000105609},{"HourStart":22,"HourEnd":11,"CostKwhBTC":0.00000703759}]

@@ELECTRICITYCOST=[{"HourStart":0,"HourEnd":23,"CostKwhBTC":0.00000105609}]

How in the world does this calculate the cost of my electric? It doesn't even take into account my actual cost.
It also doesn't take into account the number of watts per rig.

I pay .10 / Kw in the winter and .14 in the summer

How about something like this
@@ELECTRICITYCOST=.10
@@RIGWATT=830

I don't get it man. I removed that line for now.

Please explain in great detail how this line works
thanks

If no any bug, MM calculates the power of each gpu group and so get your power cost.

Revenue = ("Pool profit per 1 hashrate" * "group Hashrate") - "Miner Fee" - "Pool Fee"
"Electricity cost"= ("gpu group power now" * 24/1000) * "KWhBtc Now"
Profit = Revenue - "Electricity cost"

Gpu power for Nvidia is readed from nvidia-smi
Gpu power for Amd is model based hardcoded (I had found any way to read it) using this model names (please check what model name do you have in current screen or gpulist.bat)

"Radeon RX 580 Series" -->135W * Power Limit * Usage
"Radeon RX 480 Series" -->135W * Power Limit * Usage
"Radeon RX 570 Series" -->120W * Power Limit * Usage
"Radeon RX 470 Series" -->120W * Power Limit * Usage
"Radeon Vega 56 Series"-->210W * Power Limit * Usage
"Radeon Vega 64 Series"-->230W * Power Limit * Usage

I have seen some cards like 1050 nvidia-smi not suport powerdraw reading

This is why we need @@delaycloseminers=0
In 5.2 it is no longer in config file.
A miner tried to start before the previous miner closed causing this.
This requires a walk to the miner rig room and a physical power off and restart.

Now miners are always closed before open new miners, before with delaycloseminers=0 miners was closed one or two seconds after new miners start

[OverEasy]

Well thats good to know but now we have a different issue then.
4 of my 5 rigs have failed due to 2 miner screens open.

In fact only the NV rig has not had this issue.

All 4 AMD rigs have had to be physically powered off.

And I am not even done with the benchmarking yet.
I will continue to test and get the benchmarking done and then see what happens

I am trying to get all coins on zpool and Ethash on MPH.
How should I set the batch file for that?

Do I need to list all 4 eth coins or just ethash?

Example
 
powershell -version 5.0 -noexit -executionpolicy bypass -command "&.\core.ps1 -MiningMode Automatic -PoolsName Zpool, Mining_Pool_Hub -Coinsname Ethash

OR

powershell -version 5.0 -noexit -executionpolicy bypass -command "&.\core.ps1 -MiningMode Automatic -PoolsName Zpool, Mining_Pool_Hub -Coinsname Ethereum,Ethereum-Classic,Expanse,Musicoin

And also do I need to list ALL of the zpool coins as well?

[FonsecaMinesLLC]

Couple of quick questions (or depending on the answers suggestions):

1. I auto switch between several pools and I like the 24 hour stats from zpool.ca, but MPH doesn't offer that option, so if i want to autoswitch between those two pools I have to set it to automatic. Is there a way to have it attempt the 24 hour stats but if it isn't available to default back to auto?

2. Is there a way to specify some algos to NOT mine? So if I wanted to mine everything except one or two do I have to list out all the ones I am willing to mine?

[nitrobg]

Yeah, a blacklist or a bad coins/algos would be lovely.
It should also warn if there is a missing wallet on a more profitable coin on pools without autoexchange.

Close, open miner code is same that previous release, only change source code position.

Must be other kind of issue. I have a mixed rig and no problem (for now).

Is not possible (without change MPH pool file), filters affects all pools.

You can use coins filter or algorithm filter (firts call example) but both calls will mine same coins on both pools

I thougth about it last release, next release I will change modes:

Automatic: 24h if exists else "now mode"
Automatic24h: actual 24h mode
AutomaticNow: actual Automatic mode

Also I want to change parameters for a section in config file to define launch configurations (I think is easier than parameters)

I need help for next feature....

I can announce next feature I am working (I think is great), from a releases ago I am making changes to get this.

The feature is automatic power-limit calculation, you can define in config txt what points of Gpu power limits you can test (for example 110, 100,90 and 80) and MM will set Power limit to this points and benchmarks power and hashrate to get more profitable PL point based on actual electricity cost and renue per hash for each algo.

For example in my test my cards run at 110 at night (electricty is cheaper) and 90% at day for algo I´m testing.


This feature has 3 flaws:

- Requires at lest 10 minutes of benchmark for eac algo/miner/power limit combination
- For Nvidia, MM must run as administrator (I´m looking for easy way to do)
- Pools revenue estimations needs to be adjusted to reallity, here is where i need your help, I have defined pools revenue correction factor (on config.txt) but I usually mine on Ahashpool and I can´t estimate other pools factors.

For example Ahaspool estimations are 30% over real revenue and Nicehash are 2% over, What factors (based on your experience) must set for other pools?

clarity, if I do this you can think you are mining with 24h data but is no real.

Modify pool file to allow this is really easy, you only need set profit24h to same value than profit on final set and change $ActiveOnAutomatic24hMode=$true

I think the idea is to just mine as much as possible as long as its profitable (higher revenue than power cost).
Which would be a good feature to add, but the proposed feature, in my opinion, just adds unnecessary complexity.

Do you have any full video how to use this megaminer 5.2 only full batch script that i downloaded and edited the config file but the problem i don't know if what should i change inside the config..

No video, sorry, you only need to change "BASIC OPTIONS" section and run START.BAT or edit any of .BAT examples.


"Noob" questions are welcome, They are usefull to upgrade config.txt instructions.

It will be off by default, profit correction factors are required by some people also as independent feature.


If you mine always as much as possible, you can be losing money, example:

*Power Limit 120
----Power cost: 10$
----Revenue: 100$
----Profit: 90$

*Power Limit 90
----Power cost: 8$
----Revenue: 95$
----Profit: 87$

If you mine limited always you can be losing money, example

*Power Limit 120
----Power cost: 10$
----Revenue: 110$
----Profit: 100$

*Power Limit 90
----Power cost: 8$
----Revenue: 100$
----Profit: 92$

"Right" power limit is a combination of revenue, power usage and power cost.

I'm trying your miner out and im having issues with it.
Several miners keep crashing for me.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro version 1709
6x GTX 1070s

CCminer gets force closed, to be more specific its the alexis78-ms2013-cuda7.5 version that gets forced closed, happens sometimes, and sometimes it starts up and runs fine.
I've tried updating to the latest alexis version with cuda 9 but keeps crashing at times, ill try stick around and see the error next time, because i cant find any logs for ccminer just for megaminer.

Suggestions what could cause it?

Its benchmarking at the moment.
