Re: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 10000 miners
Yeah the 24 hr actual will switch less, but I want to ride the difficulty dips. Sometimes it works great if the pool finds a few blocks during those dips, and sometimes it doesn't if the dip is short-lived, but I've generally had good results if I keep my switching % threshold high enough. Some other tools have interesting compromises:
- NemosMiner Plus uses a trust mechanism that combines the 24 hr actual with current estimates
- Crypto GUI Miner seems to store avg difficulties over different time thresholds (i.e. 1 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, etc.), although their calculator has other problems
I would love it if AM could incorporate one of these ideas, or even just add that "Don't switch pools on same algorithm" checkbox
That's complicated lol, luckily, Patrike already is laying the foundation by collecting hourly profit data from the Yiimp pools, current form probably only eases out spikes, but surely it can be expanded based on the same dataset (not sure needed more regular collection interval though) and implement something similar to Nemos or the likes. Give it time, I'm sure Patrike can comeup with something surprisingly good (already, there's almost no doubt he's working on it! IMHO)
The difficult thing to achieve in your case is that you wants to ride the difficulty dips, but the profit reported by the pools have a majority factor based on already achieved luck + difficulty which gets oversimplified before it gets fed into AM as just a simple profit/hashpower figure. so agreed with you that a workaround like you suggested could possibly be in place until something awesome could be implemented
