These ports are closed now, because nscrypt is more profitable. Check main page on NiceHash - algorithm marked with green is most profitable.

If you want to mine X11 or X13, use 3336 and 3337 ports.

Thanks. I understand now how it is working. One enhancement that would be good is if you could still do the multi-algo switching to the most profitable algorithm of just the algorithms you want to mine. A lot of people are like me where scrypt mining is just to hot this time of year.

You can setup only a subset of algorithms on 43xx ports if Scrypt and Scrypt-N are unacceptable due to power consumption and heat; however make sure you also setup your preferred nicehash backup pool.

Example:
- setup only a subset of auto-switch ports: X11:4336, X13:4337, Keccak:4338
- setup nicehash X11 backup pool: X11:3336
- this way you'll be mining the most profitable between X11, X13, Keccak
- because you skipped scrypt and scrypt-N which might be the most profitable in a particular time interval and auto-switch X11:4336, X13:4337, Keccak:4338 ports will be closed, you'll be still mining X11 on nicehash X11 backup pool: X11:3336 (Note: with this configuration it might happen that X13 might still be more profitable then X11, but you'll be mining on X11 backup pool because it might happen that profitability will be like this: Scrypt > X13 > X11 ... and since Scrypt is the most profitable, X13 and X11 auto-switch would be closed).
