Nicehash was rip off. Did anyone watch the 1st video the 2 Nicehash guys released? The 2nd guy in the video was investigated for crimes or did time?
The CTO operated and sold access to a huge botnet and also ran a cybercrime forum, so spent 4 years and 10 month in prison.

So what would be the best strategy for a single GPU miner such as myself (currently: single Vega 56 on Monero only, and single 1070 on Zcoin only)?
I've disabled auto exchange, and would like to minimise fees. It would take me about 30 days mining to reach the minimum payout amount of 0.5XMR on the Vega 56. The same time period should net me about 2 XZC from the 1070.
Can I enable Auto Exchange to Litecoin once a month to benefit from the lower transaction fees or should I just leave it on all the time? I'm not sure which coin to Auto exchange to at this point. Litecoin would have been ideal a week ago, Haha.
Use the multi-switch settings or your own software and focus on Cryptonight and Ethash. Auto Exchange only works for future mined coins, not present balances. So to avoid the fees you need to keep it on all the time.

What's the point of this re-post from EWBF miner? The guy (JohnnyDoeTheSecond) is obviously nuts. Just look through his most recent posts: He never made any miner work and only complains (in a very rude manner) about every single miner and pool being bad and stupid.
It was for humor.

The miningpoolhub scams with the transaction fee size! Its my monero withdrawal. No explanations about huge tx fee from the support.

Regarding stratum minimum difficulty, I was wondering about that. Though to some extent having it higher reduces the pool's operating expenses, it also makes it more difficult for low hashrate miners to get shares.
Cryptonight in particular, this actually makes a significant difference- since you can in fact CPU mine this with a reasonable profit, it would be nice if the minimum difficulty was a little bit lower in order to let people trying to get good results.
Was just playing with the tunings on my new Ryzen7 1700x. Its up to 260hash/s, while my old 750ti only gets 130 hash/s on cryptonight. But the stratum difficulty remains so high even after running for quite a while that it seems to only rarely submit shares.
I noticed that too last night. Its ridiculously high on Cryptonight. It doesn't adjust fast enough either.

Im really hoping someone can answer a couple questions I have.
Ive been using MPH for a little while now and I got it successfully working mining a single coin with Awesome Miner but I cannot for the life of me get the auto profit switching to work. I get a stratum login error and Im not sure why. I even reviewed the diagnostics which shows the text from the command window and it all looks correct.
I also know that MPH has their own auto switching capability, does anyone want to clarify how this works? For example, I can select algos I want to run under the hub workers menu, and it gives the auto switching port as 12XXX but no exact port unless it's any port? Also, no server is specified but it seems that all their servers on their list are by algo so I have no idea what server to try and connect to.
So, what am I missing, can anyone help me get the profit switching automatically working properly with Awesome Miner?

Not that you would not get an answer here but Awesome Miner has its own thread and you might get a quicker/better answer there https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.0

Finally got around to switching to LTC. With the lag i expect bitcoin to keep trickling in for a while. How long is a good time to wait before i empty my BTC wallet if I don't want to get a little bit "stuck" in there under the min withdrawal limit? Is waiting until i see the first LTC credited good enough? Thanks  i waited 3 days. and then some more came through. but it was only like $1.44 worth. and the last of it arrived around day 5. now is day 7 so there is probably not much left coming. but i would say wait at least 1 week if you cannot justify leaving any at all in there.

Also i recommend using multipoolminer. it is fairly easy to setup. just change the username in the start mining batch file to your name and remove the 2-3 algos not supported on MPH and you are good. https://github.com/aaronsace/MultiPoolMiner/releases

Hello operator. Can you take a look at getting this sort of interface running on the site https://github.com/jimok82/MiningPoolHubStatsI got it setup using a cheap web server i had laying around. it was super simple. i like this for a dashboard of all the coins with something going on plus a readout of the current hasing of all connected miners. i would donate my leftover $1.43 in BTC at the pool to help out.

It seems like you spend most of your time helping out MPH in the forums. why did you spend so much time making your miner able to work on other pools if you don't mind the question? I love MultiPoolMiner by the way.

Miningpoolhub results after about 12 hours at 137MH on Lyra2REv2 using Mona as the mined coin: Result converted from Mona and the payout in BCH: $3.50. So, that's two cards going for 12 hours, at 720W (I measured.) which means about 80 cents worth of electricity, for a profit of $2.80. Quite on the other hand, the INDICATED profit from Awesome Miner is 14-22 dollars per day, which would be closer to 2 to 3 times what I'm actually seeing, as far as gross profit goes. https://whattomine.com/coins/148-mona-lyra2rev2?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=137000&p=720&fee=0.0&cost=.07&hcost=0.0&commit=CalculateAccording to Whattomine, I should be profiting $13.01. (per 24 hours, remember, the 3.50 gross was from 12 hours) But, alas, I am not. I am not on the same continent as that, let alone the same ballpark. I really am curious where all the profit is going. I know where it is NOT going.

I know volume is low on altcom but is there a possibility for a pool like this with auto exchange? see whattomine it has been high for a while now... or do you think altcom will not sustain that high?
Thanks for the ETN pool! was asking for it in previous post. you are awesome!

I have a question about payment. I have started mining electroneum yesterday and when first block was found (with luck 160%) I received 75etn as reward, my hashrate is 10kh/s, pool's hashrate 1Mh/s so that is expected. I waited for next block to be mined, but after about 6 hours I gave up. Block was finally found about 3 hours later. I get zero reward. I think that I should received at least some coins but I didn't get anything when block was found. Why I didn't get any coins?

Miningpoolhub results after about 12 hours at 137MH on Lyra2REv2 using Mona as the mined coin:
1) Check whether you were getting a real hashrate off your miner - it is known that ccminer reports about 30% higher hashrate than actual. Go to <coin> -> graphs and see what's the measured hashrate from the server side. This is how many shares you have submitted. 2) Part of your funds are moving between the pool and the exchange, and are credited later on. It is normal for your balance to disappear for few hours. 3) Because of the PPLNS method of the pool, you will lose all your shares for the last round if you disconnect before finding a block, thus if you were switching between algos - you might have lost a significant part of your earnings. 4) The current profit of any coin is overestimated by a huge margin on nearly all pools. Don't trust their advertised earnings - check the calculator yourself or even better - calculate your earnings using your hashrate and the coin's block explorer (this one is harder but generally the most precise method). I'm happy with MPH so far - currently running a fixed algo on 17xxx port and all my earnings are around those advertised by the calculator.

You shouldn't - pool is PPLNS. You can read what it means on the net, you get rewards for last shares. This very good to avoid pool jumpers. You must stay all the time, until block is found and you have rewarded.

Thanks for the answer. It really doesn't matter if I waited or not, for that 3 hours I get around the same amount of coins elsewhere as if I waited to find this block. In the end it took 470.99% of expected shares to find a block.

If the pool you were mining on is PPLNS, you'd lose all your shares for the round as well. You're talking about prop and PPS systems, but these pools have higher fees in general as these systems can be exploited.
