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.
2. This next one is cosmetic only but I noticed when using templates the main display on the miner tab shows Description, IP/Host, Pool Name for my Managed Miner. When I am running this miner everything is fine as the coin or algo displays on the right side with profit info and I know which template was applied, but when the miner is idle there is no way to tell which template I have applied. If the coin or algo was appended to the pool name (under the IP/Host) then that would tell me which template I have applied. I believe in most all other cases I see the the coin/algo appended to the pool name but not in this instance.
I hope this all makes sense! And thanks in advance!
1) As you found out, Managed Templates are good to use for Managed Miners. Do you need to switch between using profit switching and a Managed Miner as well? You can make the change if you right click on the miners and select "Convert to Managed Profit Miner" for example.
2) I do see your point about showing the last applied template name, and I've received feedback on this in the past as well. It's currently not being displayed.
