[ANN][XMY] Myriad | Multi-Algo, Fair, Secure

[Wiseman]

Guys, what about to cooperate with other famous single-algo (sha,scrypt, groestl,  skein, qubit) coin devs? I mean if we could merge, for example, blockchain of Myriad-skein part and some other skein coin. So, anyone who found block in this merged  chain will simultaneously receive reward of MYR and another coin. I think it will be the big breakthrough in crypto world.

Myriad - coin for everyone. Myriad - united coins.)

[DLow]

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  

I'd fucking sue you to hell as I have the original files on my workstation

This was never intended as the informative part of an advertisement. More like a teaser, really just been taking a stab in the dark to see how Myriad could communicate visually.

Updated the readme for the auto-switcher. Added a run.bat file for ezpz mode if you have php installed and in your path environment variable. Added instructions on how to add it to your path variable. quit() doesn't barf at you when you first run the switcher.

Thank you to the person who donated 100K+ to the Android Wallet bounty today. You just doubled the bounty with that.

Thank you community!

[Muzzargh]

Pretty much got all my eggs in the Myriad basket now 
On on!

I like it when things go like this...good community interested in making this coin grow, good ideas, and a good coin by design.

Hi all,

I've updated my linux bash script for auto-switching to mining different algos:

This new script uses foodie's lovely api to pull just the profit data as JSON and so is nice and fast!  It also incorporates a much better mechanism for excluding algos - just leave the miner variable for that algo blank and it will automatically choose the next most profitable one.  It still does nasty "killall" for stopping old miners - make sure you check there are killall commands appropriate for your selection of mining software otherwise you will end up with multiple miners running simultaneously.  I'll fix this with a proper bit of process tracking when I get chance.

When I get time I'll put the script in github.  I also plan to implement the GPU hardware weighting system at some point although that needs some thought.  We probably need to collect more samples of hashrates for the different hardware / algo combos and then work out a way to get average hashrates for each combo incorporated into the switcher.  I'll have a think about how to accomplish this, but any suggestions are welcome

Enjoy!

It still does nasty "killall" for stopping old miners - make sure you check there are killall commands appropriate for your selection of mining software otherwise you will end up with multiple miners running simultaneously.

In my script I do a {"command": "quit"} over JSON-RPC on the default port (4028)

I also have a file with all of my algorithm speeds for my miner

Code:

[scrypt]
filename = "shortcuts/scrypt.lnk"
hashrate = 835000
enabled = true

[groestl]
filename = "shortcuts/groestl.lnk"
hashrate = 15200000
enabled = true

[skein]
filename = "shortcuts/skein.lnk"
hashrate = 225000000
enabled = true

[qubit]
filename = "shortcuts/qubit.lnk"
hashrate = 5640000
enabled = true

Haha thanks dude but unfortunately I don't have any Windows boxes to play with... I'm a pure Linux man!  I'm not sure I'm best placed to write a windows switching script. You could probably run my script in Windows using cygwin but I can't test that. 

iopq wrote something in PHP that works for Windows though:

I'll give him that 100myr if he gives me his address
