@JaredKaragen or anyone.
Looking at the OP it really doesn't show how to put call cpu conf ...call coin conf... call gpu conf... call emr-stak call pool so I can make a bat file for each algo without disturbing the other coins settings. Very confusing. It could have been made like ccminer so easy to use. Anyone have a nvidia bat file that does muti coins from one folder that the miner is in?
Any help plz. thx

Well, I think theres a way to specify a different file for each set of settings,

But, if I understand you correctly, you are looking to be able to call xmr-stak similarly to the way ccminer is called?
XMR-stak is a bunch different than most other miner apps in the way its configured...... I would need to figure out a LOT of this guys code locations and structures to rewrite how it works... and I am probably not gonna have that kind of time anytime soon to be frank.

The main premise that makes XMR-stak nicer than the way you launch ccminer; is:
Once you get the host machine set up, you do your first run of xmr-stak, let it take in configs/settings and bench the devices, and you simply need to only call xmr-stak.exe to launch from then on. It creates its config .txt files to suit your pools config and devices.

If you want multiple instances for multiple devices; you need multiple folders per device with a copy of the executables in each... Bench and first run each as normal; but comment out the devices in each folder's instance/config .txt to only use the devices you wish to use per-instance....

If I am totally wrong above about what you are trying to achieve, LMK... Ill do my best to help.

Thanks JaredKaragen

What I'm trying to do is have one xmr-stak folder and call from a bat. file the coin I want to mine.
But it generates the txt files for only one coin. So if I'm mining bittube ...then ok. But now I want to mine monero from that xmr-stak folder. It will overwrite the .txt folders for bittube I think.
But there is a call from a batch file like this below and I'm not sure if I can call the different algo's from a command line.

Code:

xmr-stak -c bittube

Now if I have a second bat. file like this below what would happen?

Code:

xmr-stak -c monero

This is all I'm trying to do....but these files a regenerated or overwritten I think by xmr-stak.

Code:

Usage: xmr-stak [OPTION]...

  -c, --config FILE common miner configuration file
  -h, --help show this help
  --noCPU disable the CPU miner backend
  --cpu FILE CPU backend miner config file
  --noAMD disable the AMD miner backend
  --amd FILE AMD backend miner config file

The Following options temporary overwrites the config file settings:
  -o, --url URL pool url and port, e.g. pool.usxmrpool.com:3333
  -u, --user USERNAME pool user name or wallet address
  -p, --pass PASSWD pool password, in the most cases x or empty ""

Accounting to this I should be able to do this below except for the algo.

Code:

xmr-stak -c bittube --cpu bittubecpuconf. -o pool.usxmrpool.com:3333 -u addy -p x

And name the batfile bittube and then make a shortcut to it to put in my mining coins folder.

Here is someone trying to help out too.

An example of bittube.

Code:

Usage: bittube-miner [OPTION]...

  -h, --help show this help
  -v, --version show version number
  -V, --version-long show long version number
  -c, --config FILE common miner configuration file
  -C, --poolconf FILE pool configuration file
  --noUAC disable the UAC dialog
  --benchmark BLOCKVERSION ONLY do a 60-second benchmark and exit
  --noCPU disable the CPU miner backend
  --cpu FILE CPU backend miner config file
  --noAMD disable the AMD miner backend
  --noAMDCache disable the AMD(OpenCL) cache for precompiled binaries
  --openCLVendor VENDOR use OpenCL driver of VENDOR and devices [AMD,NVIDIA]
   default: AMD
  --amd FILE AMD backend miner config file
  --noNVIDIA disable the NVIDIA miner backend
  --nvidia FILE NVIDIA backend miner config file
  -i --httpd HTTP_PORT HTTP interface port

The following options can be used for automatic start without a guided config,
If config exists then this pool will be top priority.
  -o, --url URL pool url and port, e.g. pool.usxmrpool.com:3333
  -O, --tls-url URL TLS pool url and port, e.g. pool.usxmrpool.com:10443
  -u, --user USERNAME pool user name or wallet address
  -r, --rigid RIGID rig identifier for pool-side statistics (needs pool support)
  -p, --pass PASSWD pool password, in the most cases x or empty ""
  --use-nicehash the pool should run in nicehash mode
  --currency NAME currency to mine

Environment variables:

  XMRSTAK_NOWAIT disable the dialog `Press any key to exit.
   for non UAC execution

Supported coin opitons:
   - bittube

Version: bittube-miner 1.1.7 be84883
Brought to by fireice_uk and psychocrypt under GPLv3.
Press any key to exit.

EDIT: ~~Just tried the calls to the conf files that were renamed and no good. I'm just going to put each coin algo in its own separate folder.~~ Thx

I did this and it works now.

Code:

start xmr-stak --config configbittube.txt --poolconf poolmining.bit.tube.txt --cpu cpubittube.txt --nvidia nvidiabittube.txt
exit 0
