Hi all
Sorry... but with the lack of general guide, I've been searching through pages and posts of this thread... and I have a few questions:

1) Do I need SGminer v5 to be able to algo-switch x11/x13 on TMB?
2) If not, I'm using PIMP v1.5 at the moment. Do I only need to add the "algorithm" : "x11mod" / "x13mod" lines under the pool settings in the conf file? Or is there another parameter to add?
3) Do I use the same ports as the main TMB x11 and x13 pools (i.e. 4440 and 5550 respectively)?

Anything else?

Many thanks!

Depending on how you do the algorithm switching you could use a different version of sgminer. The algorithm switcher by 0uranos works with all versions of sgminer as it just kills the miner and starts up a different one (https://github.com/0uranos/trademybit-switcher/tree/x11). If you are using sgminer v5.0 though you have a few more options. You could use the 4010/4011 ports on TradeMyBit and have the pool itself switch algorithms for you (subject to whatever algorithm merc uses for switching) or you can use my switcher if you also have a windows machine on the same network as the miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=661827).

Do note that sgminer v5.0 uses the darkcoin-mod and marucoin-mod kernels and not x11mod/x13mod.
