Why do you waste your mining on MPH auto switch ?
MPH changed its api update time from 3 minutes to 30 minutes a month ago
So by the time api updates and you switch to a new coin, probably the coin has gain difficulty and has no profit any more.
The web page update normal at 3 minutes but api no.

It's not quite right what you write the api MPH papami.
Even if I have noticed that the interval of 30 minutes is clearly visible.
I changed the polling time of the miningpoolhub API and the profitability changes very often in these 3 min intervals.
I added in the 3main file:

Code:

echo "` date` "
head -1 current-earnings >> algo-log

in the section between lines 587 to 600

Code:

if [$ LOCALORREMOTE == "REMOTE"]
then
echo "` date` "
head -1 current-earnings >> algo-log
echo "ENTER:"
echo ""
echo "screen -r minor"
echo ""
echo "in a terminal to display the extraction process"
sleep $ PROFIT_CHECK_TIMEOUT
python2.7 '/ home / m1 / switch' /home/m1/conf.json
Fi
completed
Fi

Here is what it gives me in the file algo_log used by the python script of Scott Alfter :

each row that has no date is the result of querying the MPH API
You can also see that my minor eth works badly since he reboots the miner. I did not have this kind of pb with claymore. I tried all ethminer, and it all have a pb. and produce the same effect.

I will probably try this weekend your WTM_profit Switching. But what worries me a little is in fact the dissemination on several pools of my times of mining and recovery of the coins. Lots of pools have a minimum Debit, but for a little miner, it can be long before recovering the coins on each pool.

it would be necessary to see if Zpool will not be the most interesting in this respect. Because their page seems to indicate a multitude of coins with as a bonus self-exchange. So saving time to have bitcoin, only real coin more and more usable directly for more and more merchants or shops

Those fluctuations are because of fiat price changes and not mph api update , salfetr mph switch gets fiat price from blockchain.info

profitability info is updated like every 3 minutes at website.
API calls are cached. They are updated every 30 minutes.

And again a month later:

Please lower 30 minute API update time.
Its too much...
By the time MPH API shows good profit MPH site shows no profit.
MPH site was showing 0.58795 no-norm profit on feathercoin neoscrypt and by the time api updated and my miner started mining it MPH site shows 0.25478
Thats not good for auto profit switching at all.

Hmm.. Actually 30 min is cloudflare's minimum caching time interval limit. I'll find a way to lower this.

@miningpoolhub We are getting ready to push for MultiPoolMiner V3, which will have lots of new features including better calculation for profitability but the API update delay throws the whole thing off. Have you thought about any alternative solutions?

You were multipoolminer dev too? I thought only aaronsace was developing it.
I'll find a better way but current 30 min is not what I decided. Cloudflare limitation for caching. I'll contact Cloudflare for shorter caching.
