Essentially its a really simplified tool to get into mining. It uses pools like zpool or zergpool and switches to the most profitable algorithm automatically.
Is there an interval that you can set so that it doesn't switch too often. With other solutions of this type, I find it really annoying when the program has to switch constantly from one algo to another.
The other question is how the initial testing is performed. Is there a lengthy initialization period until all possible algos are checked against your hardware?
Yes there is. You can switch by time (minimum mining time before switching...mixed rigs and control different times for both AMD and NVIDIA) and also switch by percentage...I set mine at 15% if I am profit switching between new coins.
The initial Benchmarking (I'm guessing that is what you mean) is minimal (no benchmark necessary for custom/admin coins). We have added stock benchmarks to most cards AMD and NVIDIA. Which allows you to start mining immediately (watch our video). As more and more people benchmark new cards, we will keep an average in the system. But once you benchmark the cards once...it's in the system and you never have to do again.
NVIDIA ccminer has auto adjust, no reason to benchmark these again...might want to make sure you benchmark T-Rex, Cryptodredge, and Z-enemy as they are the fastest miners for the algos they have...just make sure they are being used when profit switching.
AMD these do not have auto adjusting...you may have to benchmark all of your cards if they are not in the system...but once they are benchmarked, you gave those results to everyone with those cards...so we are trying to completely eliminate benchmarking while still offering accuracy.
Our next version after this we will be taking benchmarking almost completely out of the system as we are working on a new idea to benchmark your cards while mining any algorithm...this will be explained in later versions though.
