Hello, I'm very brand new to the world of mining and even newer to awesome miner. I've moved here from the sad burning pile of ashes that is Nicehash =(
I've managed to figure out how to mine ETN from easyhash.io and its going decently but I'd like to learn more! I didn't configure anything and just put in the necessary info and just let it run. Are there any guides/tricks to tweak it a bit to run more efficiently/better? (not exactly sure if this is the best or something else would be more profitable?)
Also I managed to learn the managed miner thing but wasn't sure of the managed profit miner aspect of it. Basically it switches between different pools right? I don't know why it wouldn't work. Do I need to set some stuff up first (wallets, sign up to something?, verify some stuff?)?
Thanks guys!
First of all, Welcome!
Nice that you have a setup running. The Managed Profit Miner will automatically change mining software, algorithm and pool based on what is currently most profitable. You will find it described in more detail here:

Although you can use your own pools in the profit switcher, many people simply enter their Bitcoin address for some of the built-in pools and no additional configuration is required. Please keep in mind that Awesome Miner itself is not a mining pool and that all payouts will be from the pools you enable for the profit switcher.
