Does anyone else have problems with benchmarking?
I'm trying to run the benchmarks, but the miner keeps telling me there's no pool added. I can mine just fine if I press Start, but the benchmarks can't find any pool.

I've even followed the guide to add your own algorithm to benchmark, and it still can't find it.

Only tried with CryptoNight so far. Anyone got any ideas?

" No pool specified. Add at least one valid pool using the -xpool parameter "

You must have missed a setting. Profit Switching Profiles also need to be checked as well as the mining software.

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/profitswitching.aspx << See the section -- Profit Switching Profile Properties

http://www.awesomeminer.com/help/benchmark.aspx

Also check to see what pools have been enabled.

Yeah, I thought so too. I've checked and double checked everything now. I even did a clean install on both systems, and I just can't get it to find the pool when I'm benchmarking.

It finds it just fine if I just press Start. It'll happily start mining away.
I find it really odd that it would be different when benchmarking like this.

Right click the miner and do a diagnostic check and post the results here (remove your wallet address before you post it).

I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Code:

Thanks for sharing. It looks like this one was hashing perfectly fine. Do you still experience issues?

That's the thing, it hashes just fine when I start it. I just can't benchmark the cards, so they will just start mining the coin that seems most profitable according to the (very very wrong) existing hash/s numbers, so the profit switching is useless for me since it'll switch between three coins that are 100% worthless for me to mine ( 2-3 cents per day profit ) and skip the ones such as CryptoNight that would actually make me money.

I've solved it for now by force-running each algo by itself and then saving the hash-values per card. It takes abssolutely forever though, so it's kind of a deal killer for me atm. I'm not gonna go through that process on 200+ cards.

It seems to me ( might be wrong ) that it's just not sending the command line arguments when starting the miner for a benchmark. I'm not sure if it's something I've configured in a wonky manner or if it's a legit bug though.

I made one correction in version 4.2.4 related to benchmarking, so can you try that one as well?

Also, I assume you don't have 200 different GPU models? As you probably know, you only need to benchmark (or save hashrate manually) once per GPU model. All of the same model/performance should be using the same Profit profile.
