CGMiner 3.0 Feature Request - or just a few ideas and/or some insights...

[ThiagoCMC]

Hi fellas!

 First, thanks ckolivas, the "API team" and others developers of CGMiner, this piece of software is really great!!

 I have a few ideas, or ways that I would like to configure the current CGMiner version but, I can't...

 I would like to be able to do:

 * "Timed-based" "device-profile" per pool. Not "global"...;
 * Algorithm per pool.

 As for example, a cgminer3.conf draft:

Code:

"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "http://myp2pool.node.intranet:9332",
                "algo" : "sha256",
                "user" : "bleh",
                "pass" : "bleh"
                "intensity" : "7",
                "gpu-threads" : "1",
                "gpu-engine" : "08:00-20:30;600-800,600-800",
                "gpu-engine" : "20:31-07:59;600-950,600-950"
                "gpu-memclock" : "150,150",     # or time-based too, like above...
                "X" : "Y"
        },
        {
                "url" : "http://myp2pool.node.intranet:9327",
                "algo" : "scrypt",
                "user" : "bleh",
                "pass" : "bleh"
                "intensity" : "X",
                "cpu-threads" : "X" # ? Litecoin CGMiner using CPU ?
        },
        {
                "url" : "http://myp2pool.node.intranet:9327",
                "algo" : "scrypt",
                "user" : "bleh",
                "pass" : "bleh"
                "intensity" : "X",
                "gpu-threads" : "X",
                "gpu-engine" : "08:00-20:30;600-800,600-800",
                "gpu-engine" : "20:31-07:59;600-950,600-950"
                "gpu-memclock" : "1200,1200"     # or time-based too, like above...
        },
        {
                "url" : "http://gpumax.com:8332",
                "algo" : "sha256",
                "user" : "gpumaxuser",
                "pass" : "1234"
                "intensity" : "9",
                "gpu-threads" : "2",
                "gpu-engine" : "08:00-20:30;600-800,600-800",
                "gpu-engine" : "20:31-07:59;600-950,600-950"
                "gpu-memclock" : "300,300"     # or time-based too, like above...
        }
]

 I can do that using the Crontab but... I think that CGMiner can/should handle that!  =P

 Anyway, CGMiner design is already awesome! It is just an idea that come to my mind...

 What do you guys think?!

 Keep using Crontab and two (BTC / LTC) instances of CGMiner?!

Cheers!

That's pretty specific.
A cron job is probably best suited for this, since all you asking you can control with the API.

Good point! Tks!

but e.g. in BAMT it is not possible to make a crontab:

In addition to that time based system i would love to see a possibility for cgminer to just enable my (primary) gpu for mining only when i am afk.. much like a Screensaver would act.. So basically my other mining hardware runs 24/7 but my primary gpu should only be in use when i am afk..
