Error api BloskMasters and BloskMasterłsoin a week. Can anyone help?

they stopped returning data on http://blockmasters.co/api/currencies, so BlockMasterCoins will not work until it's fixed

I have pushed to the git a fix for BlockMasters pool.
If you don't use git version, you can manually download and replace the pool file: https://github.com/yuzi-co/Forager/raw/master/Pools/BlockMasters.ps1

can you implement an enable specific algo for specific pools?

..kinda like your disable specific algo for specific pools..

thanks

Possible, but is it really necessary?

EDIT 5mins later:
Nevermind, added support, untested though... See latest git

i figured out how to do it with the current release... i just used the exclude algo per pool feature.. and removed the algo i wanted to mine, and left the rest of the algos there.

so you can probably delete it.

thanks though

support for lolminer v0.41?

"So what is this miner good for: at the moment it mines Equihash 144.5 (BTG, BTCZ, LitecoinZ, HeptaCoin, Safecoin, Snowgem, ZEL) and Equihash 96.5 (Minexcoin) OpenCL based, so for Nvidia and AMD.
The miner is kind of a successor to my Minexcoin (MNX) miner you can find here as well as the 0.38 preview miner for Equihash 144.5." - Lolliedieb

is there a way to set the fan speed within the config.ini file?

I'm running afterburner enabled, and it resets my fans to default speen when initially started (i run them at 80-90%).  I have to manually set the fan speeds back to my setting after a restart.  happens mostly on nvidia gpu systems,
 and vega gpu systems.  These systems i normally have over/under clocked the gpu/memory voltage/timing.   i make sure that afterburner is set up not to change the clocks at startup.

thanks.

You can set custom fan curve in Afterburner settings

I do, but when forager starts with afterburner enabled, it changes my fan settings.

I do, but when forager starts with afterburner enabled, it changes my fan settings.

I don't change anything on Forager start, only read monitoring information from Afterburner shared memory.
But it's possible that powerlimit setting is resetting something, although its out of my control.
I was thinking of adding AB presets, so maybe that will fix it.

Hi, I'm currently running nicehash legacy and would like to try forager. I have some rx550s, rx560s, rx580s, 1050tis on 4 mobos, one has i7 that can mine.

Some questions:

1) Blockchain drivers - I've only had stability with the old beta driver, do I need to update?
2) Straps - I have 1750 to uppers, can I do better?
3) xmr-stak hand entered double threads gives me best hash rates, is this covered by forager?
4) 1050ti plus rx 550 on the same rig - will this work with forager?

Thanks!

1. Not required, but recommended. Some miners will show better stability and speed with recommended drivers. Don't forget to enable Compute mode if you upgrade the drivers from Blockchain
2. Depends on your memory maker. In most cases memory specific straps will show much better performance (although might limit mem overclocking).
3. Forager doesn't modify auto-generated xmr-stak config files. You can edit them to your liking with settings optimized for your system
4. In most cases works without issues

ps. XMR-Stak miners are disabled by default. You can copy them from "Additional Miners" to "Miners" to enable them

Thank you for fast response! I'm trying out one rig, I installed amd 18.6.1 driver. See how it goes.

Benchmarks are going very smoothly, I am impressed!

I am working on rig that has 3 rx 580 and it is doing best on cn-heavy so far, which I expect. I am only benchmarking nicehash currently. Is there another pool that can beat nicehash earnings that I should add?

I would suggest several pools with auto exchange:
MiningPoolHub, Zpool, Zergpool and BlockMasters
They have more algos, allow you to exchange to LTC (and other coins if you prefer) and have lower payout threshold and pool fees

Ahashpool and Blazepool are also good, but exchange to BTC only
If you only want exchange to BTC, you can check all of the above and see which works best for you


If you don't mind having lots of coins and wallets, try using WhatToMine and CoinCalculators virtual pools for profit estimations with Suprnova, FairPool or even add your own pools (see MyPools.ps1 for example)

i like autoexchange to btc or ltc. I've tried most of those pools, did a bunch of tracking a few months ago. I found that the pools really misrepresented the profits and would never actually pay as they claimed. Nicehash has always been reliable. I'm just wondering if the situation has changed.

Also, miningpoolhub hasn't made many updates to coins/algos - is that true?

You can add a profit factor for them, for the cases when they really jump high in profit.
But Nicehash is indeed pretty stable in this regards

True, no real changes for a long time. Just updates for existing coins
