Patrike,

Can you check out the code in Awesome Miner for a bug.

Some new users have joined zpool, used a bitcoin wallet (BTC), but in the wallet (stats page) at zpool it's set as BCH.

Awesome Miner is not doing anything for this scenario and simply assuming that zpool will go for BTC if nothing is specified explicitly. Awesome Miner do not specify payout coin at all, so this must be investigated from a zpool point of view.

The zpool instructions have always been a bit unclear on this.

-o stratum+tcp://.mine.zpool.ca: -u [-p c=

Awesome Miner is setting the Bitcoin wallet address the user specified. I interpret that you can specify any coin for payout, but that specifying like that is "at your own risk". For that reason, Awesome Miner is not specifying this "c=" parameter. In the past zpool always went for Bitcoin payouts in that scenario.

You can still configure Awesome Miner to add this parameter if you want (via Options dialog, Online Services, modify the zpool entries and add command line "-p c=ABC" or similar).

Further reading on zpool instructions:

c=
This is yet another reason why Awesome Miner isn't trying to set this parameter at all.



Can you please make this option more visible or even required? 99% of the time having the proper c=BTC set (or whatever symbol is for the wallet their using) will choose BTC. As it is now.... it's 50/50 with nothing set.
Isn't the assumption that if c-parameter isn't set, it's always Bitcoin? Why simply not detect empty and use Bitcoin? That must be the most stable solution that would solve all scenarios no matter if Awesome Miner is used or not, and if Awesome Miner is configured explictly for this, or not? Especially given that it looks like c-parameter isn't always working and "at your own risk" according to the instructions above.

Please let me know and we can agree on the best way forward. Many thanks!
