Hi Guys,
I have written a little bit of code to check the different algorithm profits on TradeMyBit and then to switch my ccminer accordingly. I use GTX 750 Ti so I have to use ccminer and so the need to right my own code.
I check the profit every 5 minutes, like this. First value is 'normalized' profit from TMB API, second value is my corrected profit taking into account my rig's hash rate and power consumption.
nist5 0.00022 0.00589
x13 0.00072 0.00532
x11 0.00051 0.00481
nscrypt 0.00269 0.00129
scrypt 0.00068 0.00068
x15 0.00007 0.00034

When it says 'switch' it will kill the running ccminer and start a new one to the new port/algorithm. However I think it is switching too frequently as my profits are not so good in testing.
Can someone who understands this better than me (wouldn't be hard) comment on some logic on when to switch algorithms to maximise profit. Too quickly and you lose shares? Too slow and you stay in the less profitable algorithm.
The profits seem to fluctuate a lot. Maybe I need a rolling average? What about difficulty??
Thanks
