Hi, rather new to mining more or less just getting set up, I have got nemosMiner all working nicely and it is bringing in money at zpool.
Just wondering about the Algo switch interval, the default is 120 secods and it looks like quite a lot of the time when 2 algos are close
it can often switch almost every period, it also of course has to hit the API every 120 seconds or so.

Does having such a short period actually help ?, given that any coins mined are only validated and exchanged probably an hour or so (at best) later
and by then probably have a different value.

Would changing the period to 10 mins or longer hit returns at all ?, I would expect it would lower load on the zpool api !

Thanks

I don't know if anyone has ever experimented or did the calculations. The only thing I can think of is if someone has 2 exact rigs built and one running 120 seconds and the other 10 minutes.

Currently I'm using Sniffdog and the default is 90 seconds. Is it too short? *shrug*. Who knows.
