(edit: I thought the image would appear in the post...)
So I threw up Awesome Miner and have it connected to zPool or MPH.
I'm confused by my benchmark numbers on what algos are best for my GPU. (I don't know how to read them)
whattomine tells me my card loves cryptonight.
I am thankful for any direction.
Also, if anyone has a second...
1: Is there a known penalty for switching around pools? Say on zPool. If I let Awesome Miner switch every 15 mins on a .15 cent change, will I get penalized? (not jumping to MPH, staying within zPools network)
2: Is hourly jumping around between MPH and zPools a bad idea?
3: Is it better to just mine one coin that is my fastest algo or let multi-algo switching happen?
4: I have this GTX 750Ti overclocked to 100% voltage +230 core and +500 mem. It runs fine at 62c on Blake 2s (48hrs). Am I an idiot or is this okay? (I didn't push it any higher. I don't know if I am ruining this GPU, however...)
Basically, I guess I am asking "If you were me (and this is all you had), what algorithm would you mine and would you run this GPU overclocked this way.
Thank you all for any advice.
The benchmark numbers are to help Awesome Miner determine what is the best algo for your card based upon what sites like zpool or MPH are showing as "most profitable."
1. No penalty except for the ramp up penalty. If you are mining on Zpool and have AM switching you every 10 minutes... some mining software can take a good minute or so to ramp up. They initialize the cards, some set DAGs, etc. On 10 minute switching you could be losing 10% of your time ramping up when you could have been mining.
2. An hour is a reasonable time to have AM check profitability.
3. That's personal preference, and there are many opinions out there about this. My opinion is that you should be mining coins that are most profitable over an average amount of time... not spot prices. Coins shoot up and down in value constantly, and you will be chasing the tail end of the spikes. And you've got the coin's maturity time, and exchange time to consider. Just because you mined a coin at X value right now, doesn't mean it will give you exactly that X value after waiting on the coin to mature and hit the exchanges.
4. The temperature seems fine to me.
You don't have to use Awesome Miner's profit switching only with services like zpool or MPH. You can setup your own set of pools and add them to a pool group. Then use the custom pool group to switch between. When you do this, Awesome Miner will use the Whattomine statistics on the Coin tab to determine what coin you should be mining. You could setup all the Suprnova pools up in a pool group for instance.
