[ANN] Miner Control 1.6.1 - Auto profit switching miner controller

[StuffOfInterest]

Would it be possible to support Hamsterpool? They appear to have an API and support for Scrypt, Scrypt-N, X11, SHA-256.

It is on my todo list as soon as I get some time.  They just recently wrote me to say that they had the API ready to go.

**BTW, how long does the test run go for? Until I close it?  I figured it would do a certain amount of blocks on each and switch, but it's up to 400 blocks and not sure if it's supposed to display anything else?

It will run until you stop it.  This isn't a test just a way of manually launching a configuration.  Once you launch Miner Control doesn't know what is happening internally so it doesn't do any internal control, just start and stop.

Ahh, gotcha.  I figured that sort of thing would be called sample.  I was thinking the "test" meant it would run down the configured algos and verify each one is at least hashing or something like that.

Anyways, I got the basics plugged in and now it all makes much more sense.  Seems I'm making a decent amount less than mining random coins so far, but my power and other calculations in the program might be wrong still. I'm also just using 2x970's so maybe once I get the other rigs running on it things will look better profit-wise.

Just released version 1.5.6 with support for Hamsterpool.

Very nice thank you once again for the hard work.

Very nice thank you once again for the hard work.

I did some test mining with ccminer to Hamsterpool using the port number configurations listed here.  I haven't got around to building out a concrete example yet.  One big thing I noticed with Hamsterpool, they actually do use the password from the miner.  You have to configure a worker and use the password with that worker ID when connecting or it won't accept the connection.  Because of that I didn't setup donation mining for this pool as I don't currently have a mechanism in place to force a password into the launch.

[ltc_bilic]

Yeah I'm also experimenting with this pool right now, and cannot get it to work with X11, because their ports in "How do I use the AutoSwitcher?" section are messed up, and I also don't like the difficulty parameter in the worker settings,...up to now I've only seen rejects because of this:

on x13 multiport 1 card

[frazier34567]

Here are my settings code for Hamsterpool. I think the port was wrong on the sample config file. and missing the -u before _ACCOUNT_. Just make sure to change apikey, account, and folders for Scrypt, neoscrypt and Scrypt-N.

If I have both AMD cards and NVIDIA cards, I need to run 2 instances of the program. Could you add support for 2 miner exe files per Miner control?

If I have both AMD cards and NVIDIA cards, I need to run 2 instances of the program. Could you add support for 2 miner exe files per Miner control?

I ended up using two copies of MC to run my video card and one to run my Scrypt ASIC.

Just put them in different folders and set the configuration files for each type of card/ASIC.

Thank you very much, now it's working.

Please add a new Lyra2RE algorithm on YAAMP, NiceHash and WestHash.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm going to go a different track and make it so that the application doesn't need any algo specific code for the service.  It will all be configuration driven.  Unfortunately, I'm going to be out the next two weeks and I doubt I'll get this done before leaving.

That's an excellent idea. But if you don't have the time at the moment, just add lyra2re manually like you've done until now and add the new feature later on. Lyra2re is really hot right now

What hashrate can a single 750Ti pull for Lyra2RE?

[StuffOfInterest]

Miner Control version 1.6.0 has been released.  This version now makes it possible to configure any algorithm for the supported services.  Examples have been added for configuring Lyra2RE on NiceHash, WestHash, and YAAMP.  Any bug fixes will have to wait a couple of weeks until I get back from the Dominican Republic.    Happy holidays everyone.
