Hey,

I'm using sgminer-gm to mine ethash cryptos at MPH.

There is a pool that will switch coins based on profitability, but you can set which algorithm to use.

I set my miner to use ethash so the pool with switch between mining coins that use this algo.

Now, I did notice that the miner had some issues and reset power values and other stuff when the pool changed coin from ETH to ETC.

Do I need to create additional profile in the config file for sgminer-gm for ETC?

current profile is:

"profiles": [{
        "worksize": "256",
        "name": "eth",
        "algorithm": "ethash",
        "gpu-threads": "1",
        "xintensity": "1024"
    }]


Do I need to add additional profile like this:

"profiles": [{
        "worksize": "256",
        "name": "eth",
        "algorithm": "ethash",
        "gpu-threads": "1",
        "xintensity": "1024"
    },{
        "worksize": "256",
        "name": "etc",
        "algorithm": "ethash",
        "gpu-threads": "1",
        "xintensity": "1024"
    }]

Or the existing profile should work fine for both ETC and ETC? As far as I understand, the "name" field is just the name of the profile, it doesn't denote which coin to mine?

Looking forward to answers or educated guesses
