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?
aLooking forward to answers or educated guesses
PROFILES ARE PER ALGORITHM--
If the algorithm is the same, one should be enough. Pool differences should be in the "pools" portion of the JSON configuration.
The last time I used a NiceHash-style SGminer switching configuration, ASIC miners were not yet developed for x11-x17, Qubit, Quark, and etc. Many of the NiceHash switching ports appeared dead. and not much switching took place. --scryptr
