I've been thinking a lot about AW and it's a great software that requires a lot of attention, but it has a huge weak point.

They are the Benchmark that are made by protocol. I can see that I have a different HASH in two coins of the same protocol. It is very noticeable, I mino much neoscrypt, the same rig for a coin can give 5mhs, but for another currency neoscrypt can give a rate of 7 mhs.

Then thinking one realizes that it does not make sense that the switch is done only by the hash of the protocol, that's fine for the pools type Zpool and auto change.

But if I have 80 coins added, I need to know the hash for each of them, because although many are from the same protocol, they get different hashes. This difference can be by the ping, it can be by the stratum, by configuration of the Vardiff etc ...

Consequently, it would not be unreasonable PAtrike that you are considering in your programming that we can also save the hash for currency, and that this is the one chosen to make the Auto Switch.

I think the problem is perfectly understood, and is the culprit that some currency changes are worse instead of better, something that should not happen, and that only happens because of what I just commented.

A program of this price and this level, with so many added functions (and many other bugs), should be closer to the reality of each currency, being able to obtain that hash per currency / pool, instead of only Protocol HASH, which in the end it is not precise at all.

I tell you in another way. IS SPORADIC and occurs alone. Without doing anything suddenly gives that fault. That last order, I formatted the HD and reinstalled everything. IF the pool was wrong, it would not work in any rig, since it is the same poool for all rigs. It's a bug I've reported before.

In the end I had to install a replacement for Klaust, since Neoscrypt is one of the most used protocols with less miners within AW.

It can happen in any something, and it has already happened to me several times. When I fail in this machine, it was after a reboot, and I'm telling you, that neither formatting the equipment fixes it, and the pool information is the same for all platforms. If you see the video well, mino Neoscrypt and in the failure speaks of PHI which is another protocol, sometimes we say that some information is crossed to AW.

if we want better software we have to give all the possible information of the failures to the programmer to fix them, the problem of this error is that it is sporadic, and therefore difficult to reproduce by the programmer.
