How to benchmark only top algos ? And how to know what they are ?
Becouse right now benchamrk is very time consuming thing.
And Equihash benchmark dont work on 6x rig, its do not jump to another miner even after 20 minutes.

I'm attempting to take this project for a spin but I'm not having any success with benchmarking it.

Im on a 8 1080Ti rig using Ahashpool plus. No other modifications made except changing my address and selecting the amount of GPU's correctly.

It does not appear to write the stats down correctly. Furthermore it seems to open a second miner before closing the first one and they seem to run concurrently for about 10 minutes. Then the original miner is closed but it doesn't appear to log the stats anywhere. I know I can set them manually but that's less than ideal.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I confirm !! The data is not updated !! 2 miners open at the same time !!

have GUI in windows?

have GUI in windows?

Yeah. its called NiceHash

Hi,

I dont like shield coin Where I can add the "mc=XVG" ? Cant do it in bat file,  cause theres more algos.

I did re-run a 10 hours test or the four supported pools on the Plus logic with no issue.

However, there are cases where windows does cache web requests and return the cache rather than the live value. Which might be what happened on your rig.

I just implemented cache bypass to fix this scenario on Master. Will be in next release.
If you can update from master, this fix should fix your issue.

You'll see on forums that this is a very subjective questions and depends on pool used.
Which pool?

Well, the PS script crashed just after attempting to load miners. Here are the last few lines from the miner.log:

I did not press Ctrl-C, even though that is what it looks like. I did type in 'exit' when I noticed it was sitting at the PS command prompt.

EDIT - I should also note that ccminer-polytimos was still plugging away on X17, so this wasn't a fatal error.

Did you sort this one out?

Nope. I was rather hoping you could help me here, rather than the other way around...

Could you try 1.3 from master?

master. The result is the same.

It seems that the problem is only for my rig on win7.
Rig N2 on Win10 works correctly.
Thank you

Where is 1.3 master? 1.2.1 is still showing as the latest version on your github releases page.

@Mr.Plus

I have replaced the brain folder. On launch it did not appear to update profits. To remedy this I ran the reset profits.bat and it has successfully updated.

I am currently monitoring the program to see if updates are posted on the 10 minute interval set. I have an unfortunate feeling it is not but I'll update you with a definite once I know.
Edit: Thank you for the quick update. Seems to be working as intended!

Side Question:

What would be the best way for me to adjust the profits down for a specific algo? IE: I have a miner that takes a dev fee (3 minutes) but yields better results. It's worth using if I were to mine the algo for any amount of time greater than 15 minutes.

Option One) Chance sleep interval to 15 minutes and manually move the hashrate of the miner down by 20%. Any other options?

Thanks!

I figured it out already: use the clone/download button and select download as a zip for those who are still wondering.

Please note that 1.3 is opened for test. Not a release. Use at your own risk.
Thanks for the ones willing to take the risk. Feedback on your tests will help.

Couple of things I can tell you so far, even as it is doing the benchmarking again...

First: I am trying this out with an XVG address on ZPool, not BTC, because it makes tracking earnings easier and eliminates the additional 5% fee charged for converting to BTC. However, your earningstracker batch file seems to assume only BTC as a payout option.

Second: the first time I ran my slightly modified startzpoolplus.bat (with an XVG address and some of the algos deleted) only 8 of the 17 algos I had selected were queued up for benchmarking; here is the beginning of the miner.log if it helps:
