Re: [ANN] Miner Control 1.5.3 - Auto profit switching miner controller

Am I the only one having to close out MC with Task Manager? Huh

It won't close otherwise. Even after mining has been stopped.

I only had this issue a while back, with CudaMiner (not ccMiner), and that was several releases ago, shortly after console integration. Haven't had the issue since then.

I haven't checked in a while and just saw manual configuration and failovers are now implemented.
Great job! Will start looking into it now.

I see some people are using cgminer/sgminer based nvidia miners.
Can you tell me how to find these? I've been looking for a while, but no luck.
I would really love the APIs that sgminer offers.

As far as I'm aware, the only reason anyone is using SGminer is either because they have AMD cards, or because they're mining neoScrypt (there is no ccMiner or any other NVIDIA-specific miner for neoScrypt yet).

For sgminer, you need to use the usewindow/true option on the config line. Otherwise, sgminer gets really confused with the console mode. There is a text only option in sgminer which should make it compatible but it doesn't seem to work right for me.

Are you aware if there is a specific sgminer build for nvidia, and is it only used for neoscrypt or all algorithms?

About the failover - Is there a failover only mode (prioritized pool list) or is it only profit based mode?
I know for the failover mode workaround - using algo weights and so on, but it's very annoying if you have 10-15 pools or so.
So clean failover mode would be great - "disabling" profit switching and using pools based on a priority list.

There is a section for configuring manual pools. This works in conjunction with having the miners exit if unable to connect (which flags them as dead) to fall back to less and less profitable services. See the first post in the thread for how to configure.
