I need to check that out -- I did a small test and for the first time since I quit using it many months ago... NiceHash is ahead of ZPOOL on a test group of my workers.

Obviously I want to avoicd using NH and I've always done well with ZPOOL... but the difference is non-trivial. Perhaps it's just in my settings.

Thanks =)

It took about 2 hours to benchmark all the algos selected by default for Zpool (except for LBRY, as that algo has been ASIC'ed so no point mining it with a GPU) and it has been running in auto-switching mode for about an hour. So far it has remained on X17 the entire time, which is definitely unusual. Neither Nemos nor MrPlus do a very good job of explaining what their mining automation scripts do so I am inferring much from observation, but it appears that the MrPlus version needs to run for many hours to build up a decent average for the profitability stats, hence why I thought it was unusual it was sticking with X17 for so long.

That said, NONE of the multi-algo pools I've tested over the last few weeks - using NemosMiner, in all cases - beat out NiceHash when run concurrently on similar hardware. Two pools got on the wrong side of a hard fork which wiped out ~35% of my earnings so those were clearly outliers, but MiningPoolHub and Zpool both came in around 10% less than NH and so I have begun to suspect NemosMiner is the culprit, especially since I verified that both pools pay fairly/honestly when run in single-algo mode (Neoscrypt on MPH and Lyra2v2 on Zpool).

I'm *hoping* that MrPlus' fork of NemosMiner will help, but if not I will use NiceHash for auto-convert to BTC and Zpool or MiningPoolHub for "single-algo, convert to whatever I want."
