Uncheck the checkbox in Strategies that says "Suggest coins to mine".

I have tried to add a (new) xyz-coin that will mine at multipool.us or Middlecoin, scrypt, but no go -> program crashes...
any way to do this (and switch manually to)?
------------------
and if I switch to automatically mine coins based on ...
it comes:

bfgminer is exiting after launching with exit code 1
Details: command line options set a device that does'nt exist

Please post the full error text from the crash using the Debug build of MultiMiner.

What was the executable path and the arguments? This shouldn't have anything to do with the pool you pick. bfgminer returning a list of devices to MultiMiner. When MultiMiner tried to launch bfgminer with that device using the -d argument, bfgminer exited saying the device doesn't exist. Sounds like something you'd need to look into with bfgminer, using the arguments shown by MultiMiner in the Process List.

So, on my ASIC miner, sometimes the reported hash rate will drop insanely low, about 1/100th of what it should be, and the miners themselves stop hashing. No alert is sent via MobileMiner, and the sick/dead miner detection does not seem to do anything. Restarting the miners via MobileMiner fixes the problem, but the only way to detect the problem is to check on it manually.

Could you perhaps add a feature to send an alert and/or restart the miners when the hash rate drops below a user-specified amount?

Yup - it's one of the items on my to-do. Just not done yet. I'll bump up the prio.

What type of ASIC are you using?

Thanks nwoolls!

purelithium, I'm using 5 USB block erupters at the moment.

By-the-by, an update to the MobileMiner app for iOS is now live that supports the new iOS 7 UI.

The hash rate crashing like that indicates to me that your devices aren't getting enough power. Each device needs at least half an amp of current, so your power supply for your hub needs to be at least 2.5-3A.

Thank's!!! But some bugs are: before closing after

Is there a way to turn off coin suggestions? I have my 3 coins set up and don't really want suggestions. Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find this option (I'm sure I read that we could turn it off somehow)

Version 1.2.32 is now available. It's a small public update that addresses the above requests.

Thanks for this.  I love this proggy but the notifications were getting maddening.

I haven't posted in a bit, but I've been using the software on all my rigs and it's been great. I hope you don't burn out with the constant updates and answering so many questions that many times fall outside of the app.

I did run into one item tonight that I wanted to pop in to see if it could be changed... I had my strategy enabled, and it switched to a profitable coin that I solo mine, but being the nimrod I am, I had forgotten to open up the wallet that it needed to point to in order to solo mine after a recent reboot. So all my rigs stopped mining and had the error: "None of the pools configured could be used"..

Completely valid error, and it stopped mining. In order to mine again, I had to close the error and click start on each rig.

I know you can't fix stupidity, as this one was on me, but this could happen for other reasons (DDoS on pool, and backup pool), so I was wondering if it was possible to select a "default" coin so that if an error like this is encountered, it either goes to the default coin, or the next coin in the list. Anything really, except for it to stop mining.

Thank you again for all of your work on this, that has been nothing short of amazing!

This is currently the #1 requested change / feature and will be in the next update.

The Windows Phone app for MobileMiner is feature-complete and has been submitted to Microsoft. It supports Windows Phone 7.1, 7.8 and 8.0 and should be available in 4 - 5 days.

bfgminer new version released but again not detected yet by multiminer

OP it runs pretty stable however i am wondering if and how i ca run 2 different miners started by multiminer

This because i want to mine on gpu's alt coins and these need to switch pretty fast onto another coin

Somehow i can not get that working when the asics are doing one and only alt switching

When i switch gpu the whole mining stops and starts over detecting all devices

Now i use cgminer on the gpu because i can make that switch pretty fast onto other coins
However if i start a second multiminer it reads ofcourse the same data map, and opens up the asics and resets them instant.

bfgminer new version released but again not detected yet by multiminer

Thanks - I let Luke know. He needs to put the latest version in his Testing folder before it shows in MultiMiner.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your problem. Why can't you turn on auto-mining under Strategies and just use one copy of MultiMiner? Your GPUs should switch between the profitable scrypt coins while your ASICs hash the profitable SHA coins. You are correct that, when coins are changed all miners are stopped and restarted.

I am getting the same .net framework error when I open Multiminer. I have closed Multiminer, navigated to, %appdata%\MultiMiner, and deleted knowncoins.xml file. I still get the error when I open Multiminer. Any suggestions? This is happening on all four of my miners. Here is the fist part of the output:

CoinChoose.com is currently returning a blank string for Difficulty for Terracoin when using LTC as the base coin. Please switch to using BTC as the base coin in Strategies and I'll ping sal002 (CoinChoose operator) to fix it.

Edit: Here's an unofficial build that handles this new error from CoinChoose with a notification.

Great! Thanks for the quick reply. This program is great BTW, absolutely love it.
