Re: [ANN] sgminer - new unified multi-algorithm on-the-fly kernel switching miner

I was just trying to use the auto-switching but it doesn't seem to work for me. When I set pool ports to 33xx, everything works perfectly, I can manually switch pools and all pools work, however when I switch it over to 43xx and start the sgminer, it says that all pools are dead after a while. Any suggestions?

Perfectly normal; in order to 'switch' only one algorithm can be 'selected' at a time. All of NH ports that start with 43xx are multi-algo ports, which will shut, so when 1 is selected, the other 4 algos go dead. If you have no failovers, it is possible you may get no work served if there are not enough orders up for that algo.

I understand that, but there surely IS some work at least for scrypt, since when I go manual, it works. So it's unlikely that there's no work for any algo...

If you only use 4xxx ports there could be a situation where you cant get work, or if it switches to a known buggy algorithm like keccak where I ignore the pool setting, so you have to set the backup pool with a 3xxx port or else the backup pool is pointless. You can set the backup to any one of the profit switching pools main ports on 3xxx, I put things by default on x13 for AMD cards since I have some nvidia cards running x11 that can't be auto switched yet.
