So I installed Awesome Miner yesterday and spent some time with it.

I was able to setup a miner with my GPUs on a rig, for profit switching.

However, I ran into issues with the CPU miner, which uses XMR-STAK-WIN64.

First, can two separate miners be setup to profit switch on different pools & algos?

Second, I couldn't get a full configure for XMR-STAK-WIN64, only API level, so does that mean it's not possible to use in the profit switching mode?
(configuring that one was way more difficult than CCMiner, btw)

I will say that I wish Awesome Miner had a more thorough setup wizard.
1) Yes, you can create multiple profit profiles via the Options dialog, Profit profile section. Each profile can have its own set of pools and algorithms. For more information:

2) XMR-Stak is a bit difficult to setup, which is why it never ended up as a fully supported Managed Miner. These days Awesome Miner supports XMRig as well, which can do CPU mining as well, and that might be a better option.
