... also using getmininginfo would require running a wallet on my mining rig (or using RPC to connect to one) which further complicates things. That said, it would probably be an improvement to use getmininginfo, so if someone wants to send me the maths to get from the difficulties of the various algos to "Coins/Scrypt MH" then I'll update my script and post a new version using that.
it should be in a config file because 290/290x mines differently than 280x (faster skein, slower groestl for the same scrypt mhash/s) I made a php script that does the same thing for windows: https://bitbucket.org/iopq/automatic-algo-switcher-for-myriadcoin/I scape the difficulties from the JSON api and my config file has the settings for an R9 290 if you want to do it from the wallet and run the wallet I suggest you use the same approach, I have scrypt disabled because it takes too much power what you might want to also do is scrape the price info, let the user specify the power usage of each algo (and $/watt), and calculate the most profitable algo based on current price and selling immediately after mining Hmmm I was wondering about that. The "Coins/Scrypt MH" number seems to give me a good enough approximation of profitability for my R9 280x for my purposes, but I see that to do it properly those numbers would need to be weighted for different GPUs. I guess the numbers are just discovered experimentally? I don't have the time (or the equipment) to work out the weightings for coin production on different algos and different hardware unfortunately. Your idea for letting the user specify the power and doing a proper cost analysis before choosing the algo is great... but again I'm not sure I have the time right now to implement that I think I will take up foodie's offer of a nice simplified "Coins/Scrypt MH" webpage to get the numbers from and leave it at that for now. I'll also implement a decent algo choosing mechanism - maybe based on the setting of the commands at the top of the script (ie: no command for a given algo means leave that algo out of the running). At some point I'll put it on github and open it up if people are interested in contributing? Also - a question for the devs and other coin-tech people: Is the constant switching of miners between algos in this way considered harmful to the coin? Obviously if *all* miners were switching en-mass on the hour, it would cause some pretty wild and weird swings in difficulty and hash rates for the algos... I know auto-switching pools are frowned upon for this reason by some people. When you have big enough hordes of miners chasing profit from coin to coin it can severely impact hashrates and leave coins vulnerable to attack at certain times. I suppose chasing profit *within the one coin* as we are doing here is not as bad... but then its open for analysis / discussion. Thanks. I will tip you well if you can set up a simplified Coins/Scrypt MH webapge taht accounts for different GPU benchmarks. I don't think the constant switching of miners between algos would be harmful. The difficulties for each algo retarget after every block that algo finds, but I'm not sure what type of memory kernal is put in place (how far into the past it using the hashrates).

does anyone know if there are any profitability calculators for mining myriad? I really like the coin and would like to support it, but I am not sure I could justify it if it is not profitable to mine. Thanks!
There is a scrypt calculator on cointweak.com There is a SHA256 calculator on whatmine.com Other profitability websites can't handle Myriad's complexity and sheer awesomeness ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Has anyone been able to get their Win 7 rig running R9 290's to run at greater than 640x480 headless? If I attach a monitor I can set what resolution I want and it will stay like that after I remove the monitor however after a reboot it goes back to 640x480. I've tried every trick I could find on the net without success ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) I don't have a spare monitor I can leave attached to it either. There is an HDMI fake monitor plug on ebay, is that the only way? Unfortunately yes. In my rigs with R9 290 I have put one non 290's Gpu as primary card to solve this problem. So any old card will do? I have combined 280x. Any R9 270,280 (or older series 5,6,7 ) will work. Any old card will not do, doh!!! I tried an old ATI card that took out the driver. I tried an nVidia nvs300, no good either. I tried a Matrox card, same result. I received an email from ATI regarding an update to 14.4 so I'm trying that now. . . Edit: I'm still not able to get above 640x480 but the latest driver gives me an extra .6Mh/s per card ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Edit: And fan speed is now in % rather than rpm

Its just not really informative. That white circle doesnt reveal anything and it seems like any other coin that tries to be a coin for everyone.

It's not a full blown brochure with all the features. These kind of ads have their place too. Sure you could add an ever more provocative/intriguing slogan/text - to spark more interest, but the design is just great.

A try to strengthen my argument : I could replace the text myriad. With whitecoin and leave the rest as it is and I would have a killer ad for whitecoin. But I don't want to be the Party pooper.. It's a cool teaser otherwise ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
