Can I mine different algos with the same miner? Or each miner needs to be set on a fixed algo in different pools?
Apologies for the noobness :S
You have several options here. You can add one Manged Miner for each pool/algo, but that will consume more licenses. You could instead look at the concept of Managed Template, where you can define different mining software, algorithms and pools for each template. Then you can apply the template to one or more Managed Miners.
http://awesomeminer.com/help/managedtemplate.aspxI have a question about this (well about pools in general), in terms of the "worker name". Does it matter if I have more than 1 rig using the exact same "Worker Name" (does the pool care? Does it only matter if one rig has much less hashpower than the other as the amount of shares might not be optimized on one of the rigs then)
When I define a pool I can give an optional "Add to worker name" to append, but if I use the same pool (or same Managed Template) with more than 1 rig I don't see a way to set different worker names.
One idea I had is maybe if you configure the "Add to worker name" to take an optional variable that maybe would take the name of the miner or something (like %minername%), so those who want to use it can do that to have each rig append a different name to the worker name.
