Hi Wacko, could you point me to any of these "auto-switching" pools? do you know how profitable is it compared to regular ETH mining?
I don't use those pools so I don't know a lot of them. The most popular one is probably zpool.ca. I've no idea what you're mining with though.. if it's amd cards, then there's really not that many algos they're good at, basically it's just ETH or Cryptonight (still quite a few coins using these 2 algos). Most of those multipools are primarily for nvidia cards, there's a lot more algos that nvidia gpus are good at, so if you'll look at the zpool's list of algos, almost all of them are "nvidia-friendly": equihash, neoscypt, lyra2z, bitcore, lyra2v2, skunk... I mean, I'm not even gonna list any more of them, they're all for nvidia gpus.
You can mine many of those algos with amd cards, of course, but they're not as efficient as nvidia cards there, so it's usually better to just stick to what amd are good at.
