Re: [ANN] Hash Auger 1.8.9: Multi-Pool GUI Mining Software for NVIDIA Cards

Can you advise me what to do?

I disable all mining pools except Block masters. In block master I disable all Algorithms with less than 80 miners to make sure I do get some shares. Some Algorithms got more than 300 miners on it. Is it good to keep it or must I also decrease that number of miners to be between let say 80 to 100 miners on an Algorithm? That will make sure I do get shares with a reasonable value.

I have 4 x 1070 graphics cards on Hash Auger. At this moment I battle to get more than $4.00 per day on all 4 cards. It mines at this moment at $1.50 per card for the most of the day.

Do you have any suggestions?

I download the new 1.8.9 Hash Auger. Price Switch is 12% and pool refresh is 12%. Auto Switch ports is on, Actual prices is on, Use mine coin is on. Price Spike is $4.00 Minimum Earnings is set to $0.00
Clock offset 100, Memory clock 720, Power limit 70, temp limit 70degC


You may want to try turning on the Use MC Parameter and turning off the Include Auto-Switch Ports settings on the pool’s pricing tab. I have found that the individual coins often have more accurate prices than the auto-switch ports on this pool. An auto-switch port usually has multiple coins assigned to it, so any pricing information for that kind of port will be based on all the coins. With the MC parameter, the pricing information should be specific to each coin.

Next, I have had good results mining ports with fewer than 80 to 100 miners.  For example, I was mining PigeonCoin on this pool when there was only 10 other workers. You will actually get a higher percentage of shares when there are fewer workers - but it will take longer to find the next block and receive your reward. The software ignores ports with zero miners just because it takes a long time for one miner to find a new block. Also, since the number of workers often changes throughout the day, you would have to keep manually changing which algorithms are enabled and disabled.  Due to some issues with ChainCoin, C11 is the only algorithm I have disabled for this pool.

Finally, you may also want to enable one more pool in addition to BlockMasters just because BlockMasters sometimes has connection issues as described on their board on this website. Hopefully these are just temporary issues caused by their growth, but in the meantime those kinds of errors can reduce your mining productivity as the software tries to establish a connection and then moves on to a different algorithm.
