1. I currently have the professional edition of AM which allows 10 mining processes to be monitored. I have a couple of rigs and I initially created a new managed miner for each different coin/algo that I wanted to mine which allowed me to easily switch from one to the other. I soon discovered that each of these were considered a monitored mining process. So even though I only have 3 rigs, AM says I have 10 monitored mining processes. I soon discovered that templates are what I should be using... no problem, I switched over to templates but unfortunately you cannot create a "Profit Switching" template to use on your Managed Miner. I have 3 rigs but AM counts 6 against my quota of 10 (1 Managed Miner with various templates and 1 Profit Miner for each rig).
Am I setting this up incorrectly? Is there a better way to do this to not have it count against my quota of 10? I am only running 3 mining processes.
You should setup Profit Miners, not Managed Miners if you are wanting to use profit switching. Since you only have 3 rigs, setup a Profit Miner and a Managed Miner for each rig. Then you go back and forth between the two concepts.
