OK, released
version 1.5.5 with WePayBTC support. It is up to you to handle setup. I don't have AMD cards so I can't test it myself but it does get the pricing information.
I have a bit of a problem with WePayBTC. Yes, you can plug the pool into the config file. Yes, it does pull pricing info from the site. Their pricing info that is pulled from the API is a fairly static number and only changes if they change the payout. WePayBTC has used a single Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC as a reference card, and set that to equal 100%, and that is the number they have posted in their API. In other words, if you use one of their reference cards, it should return 0.000927 BTC/day, equivalent to 0.0001915 BTC/mhs of X11 mining hash, or 0.30003445 BTC/mhs of X15, for example. Those conversion numbers are set by WePayBTC, and don't seem to fluctuate...
So, I'm plugging this into a config on a test miner. It's a small one, an old AMD 7750 card. Doesn't pull much. MinerControl says I should be seeing a net of 0.000220 based on a hash of x15 of 640 kh. But the miner has built-in BTC/day output data, and it says I'm only realizing 0.00006 BTC/day (6% of their reference.) Trying to back into the numbers, I think, but I'm not sure, that MC is equating 1000 khs of X15 to be 100%, then calculating the net based on configured hash of 640 khs. That would give me the 0.30003445 * 0.640 = 0.00022048, which is what I'm seeing reported in MC. What I'm seeing from the WePayBTC miner would be their base reference 0.000927 * 7% = 0.00006.
I'm so confused... Anyone else using MinerControl for WePayBTC and have this figured out? The numbers just don't work out. I'm wondering if something needs to be revamped, like maybe an additional (percentage?) field needs to be added to the configuration and applied against their base "reference" field to calculate earning capability.
I think the only reason I'm pursuing this is because the WePayBTC numbers are actual, not estimated. If they say they are paying out X then they are paying out X. If their actual payout is beating estimated Yaamp payouts, for example, why wouldn't you mine there?
Edit: 2 things. Another suggestion, how about letting WePayBTC bypass calculations altogether and have just a single config with ability to directly plug in the Earn or Net? Also, playing around with the miner, I copied in the updated drivers into the folder and bumped my percentage to 20%. Makes it even more viable...
