Hi:
I have started using your combo program (dashboard, revenue analyzer, switcher, miners, pool, & exchange  Grin) a couple of days ago, so far it has been an exciting experience, it's good, a lot of future, I would like to understand a little better how it works, and I will report a couple of problems I have had.
I have been trying it on my Gaming PC/Part Time Miner, Core i5-7500+RX580 8GB+RX560 4GB, I could use it on my mining Rigs, and recommend it to my Gaming Community, but I need to solve the following.
First my doubts:
- How do you calculate the revenue per day and I guess the currently mined coin?, I mean, do you consider the current price?, do you sell the coins at that price upon reaching certain amount?/or time?.
Problems:
- Only minor ones now, major ones got solved before I finished this message.
- WinMIner.com Live Dashboard got offline message if not used after a while, I have to open again the window from the program.
- GPUs do not start to work in some occasions, they stay idle when restarted after stopping the mining process to do some other thing, I will try to get the cause and report back.
Ideas:
- As some have already suggested, dcri control and voltage control are critical, my RX580 needs a 38 dcri and my RX560 a 24 dcri, so they are not working at their best now while mining EXP.
- I usually undervolt my cards on the Miner, now I am using AB with WinMiner, with the RX580 the OC is ok, the undervolt only reachs -96mV, so its running hot or/and noisy now, the RX560 is not usually a problem as it doesn't consume too much power, but it can not be undervolted on AB and if OC it never reaches the specified clocks, so I got only 2 MH/s, maybe a driver, AB version, etc., problem, but anyway, it could be great to add a way to control dcri, voltage and clocks in WinMiner, obviously while keeping it friendly for any casual Miner/Gamer.
Great work, keep at it,
Carlos

Welcome aboard!
(1) Compliments - Thank you very much. It is a A LOT of work but its so rewarding with such great users and feedback  Smiley

(2) Doubts - WinMiner is all about simplicity and accessibility - to accomplish that we set its base currency to USD, and we exchange coins found to USD to make sure a balance displayed is guaranteed and not subject to fluctuations. Following users requests we are planning on allowing users to set a different base currency of their choice.

(3) Problems -
      - Glad to hear that the major ones are history
      - Dashboard going offline after a while - we will definitely look into this
      - GPUs idle in certain occasions - please provide more info of when and how this happens so we can better address it.

(4) Ideas -
      - dcri, voltage control and AB per GPU - we are giving some serious thoughts on how to give more control to those who wish to custom the experience and performance.

Hope this addresses the points.

Thanks again for your support and feedback!
