Hello, Patrike
I want to ask you to add more deep options for profit statistics.
There are many situations when the profit value displayed in pool API is too high to be the truth (even for 24H average) and the miner switches to that pool and loose the time for mining nothing. I believe it is very simple to detect such high volatility situations reported by pool (not the real coins) and prevent switching miner to that pool.
To make Awesome Miner software the best of the best it will be perfect to add more deep statistics collection for a long time periods:
- collect absolutely all pool statistics for the selected algos every time during profit values requests: TTF, Block found log, current, esimate and average profit values (all together)
- give users full control how to display these info on the graph
- add more deep rules where user can write his own formulas using many different statistics values and make miner to ban the pool for some time
- volatility value display for each pool algo (based on awesome miner collected statistics)
- ban high volatility pool algos till the volatility becomes normal or other user defined changes will happen
High volatility coins and algos are the biggest problem when using BTC for payout. You will never have that profit, because the waiting time before exchange is too long for high volatility algo. So, the only way to control it is to ban unstable profit pool algos.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.
Right now the feature "Actual Performance" (the column in the Online Services tab) is only looking at the estimated payout compared to the actual payout of the pools, to see if a pool constantly advertise higher payout that what you get. The percent value given here is used to lower the estimates reported from a specific pool, making it less likely to be selected by the Awesome Miner profit switcher.
I would be possible to extend this feature to measure volatility as well, and then make it configurable like you suggest - that's a good point.
