For now to mitigate the problem I posted above (the automated profit miner switching to something very unprofitable), I edited the profit profile the miner is using and unchecked all but the algo's my rig should be good at, to prevent it from going to one of the other algos.
I'm having an issue with Claymore however, when the profit miner tries to use Claymore (for ETH or ETC) it complains that -epools is missing. But the profit miner should just be using zpool.ca, so I don't know what the problem is there.
BTW is Skein supported? I don't see that listed in the Algos.
Thanks
