There's no right or wrong answer here, only what your priorities are.  The Current setting will make AM check the current values at Whattomine, and the 24 hour setting will make AM check the 24 hour values at Whattomine.  AM is agnostic in this decision... it's yours to make.

Why would you choose one over the other?  Using the current values will attempt to keep you on the most profitable coin... at that point in time.  This can and will cause peaks and valleys in your overall profits because coins don't stay "most profitable" for very long.  The 24 hour values will help smooth out those peaks and valleys to keep you mining a "mostly" profitable coin longer.  I've written extensively about profit switching in this thread, I ask that you go back or search this thread for my musings and opinions on the matter.

Remember though, the Current and 24 hour setting would only apply to individual coins that you are mining, not to Online services like zpool, MPH, and the like.  If you setup a dozen of your favorite coins as individual pools and put them in a pool group then AM can profit switch on that pool group and will use the Whattomine statistics including your Current/24 setting to help AM decide when to switch.

Where can we download and add to AM high performance miners like ccminer X17SPmod ?

if you go to http://www.zpool.ca/site/miners  on most popular algos, like X17 and order by percent of used mining software, you will see that X17SPmod has the best HashRate and is used by 65% of top miners. next one is alexis with just 15%.  

For NeoScrypt algo the best performance is from ccminer/8.18-KlausT  and we can easily find it and integrate. Any idea why it is not included in AM ? Or how can we find and download all the other SP-mod ones, for the highest profit ?

Any ideea ?

We all lost hours instead of having all coins and algos added in this paid software. If the developer is so busy and lazy pay an Indian to add the coins and to export the config files. It is being asked for weeks and developers do not care. Add all algos and coins.

For the past days persons that mined PHI made 30% more money and phi is the most mined and most profitable algo on all pools.

Today phi is most profitable and users are not able to add it or are unaware about money they lost and tomorrow will be another algo that is missing, all because the developers do not care or want to pay $100 to someone and create the conflig  files for all algos and coins.

We are all tired of lazy developers from the team that do not care when we all loose thousands of dollars every day.

PHI isn't even remotely the most profitable. I'm pulling about $25 per day per 1080ti at the moment on other coins.

Happy to help as a AM community, just don't expect everything handed on a silver plate, if Patrike is to maintain coins/pools/algos every so often, he'll have to charge a hefty subscription fee for his ongoing efforts or hire someone to do it. Right now he didn't and his priority would be on expand core functionality and bugs rather than housekeeping of pools/coins that pops out of the blue and vanishes every now and then.

Ppl can go and read crackfoo's (zpool op) rant about ppl chasing after most profitable coin just today, he ain't got time for that kind of thing, and I'm sure Patrike who isn't even a pool op, should not need to either. It is as Crack said, if one is going after those, go ahead and do it themselves, AM has the ability to do it, but isn't the AM dev's job to baby sitting one's mining operation options.

AM is NOT NiceHack nor is it WinMiner, they have software that mines to their own pools and if they don't have a particular algo, it's in THEIR control and feel free to rant to them, AM the SW itself is not affiliating with any particular pools and hence unfair if you reckon you're being ripped off just because an algo is not present (but can be setup and customized to your likings once you get the know how)

To setup, this is what I did:

1: Setup Algo

2: Make sure if not predefined coin, point to statistics provider, in this case whattomine json

3: Setup online services for whom has a pool, if using custom pool, set it up in the pools section

4: Check your Online Services Tab (Update if needed)

5: Check your Coins Tab (Update if needed)

6: Check Predefined Coins, you can see LUX is now in predefined list

7: Make sure you setup your software to enable mining of the said algo too (in this case, built-in CCMiner 2.2.4)

Lastly, step 5, 6 might now show up after first setup, sometimes restarting AM seems to have it working for me.


Cheers,

I noticed PHI1612 algo with LUX coin is very profitable almost all the time and better than most of the coins and also if you notice on aHashPool almost half of the pool is mining PHI algo, but AwesomeMiner does not include LUX coin and PHI1612 algorithm that will give at least 20% more profit if being used instead of the best other coins from AM.

Can you add the missing coins and mining algorithms for the next release, patrike ?
There are plenty of coins more profitable that AM ignores and are not added by default.

I added PHI1612 and LUX coin manually in many areas for pool and coin configs and it works. There is a bug that was noticed by a previous user, when you save initially the custom pool service for PHI,
AM removes the .com  from field "URL base" and the process won't start. I edited, added.com and saved again and it worked, the same as a previous user did and notified a few days ago.

It would be great to see the missing algorithms from AM that have hundreds of users on aHashPool and MinigPoolHub and add them to AM's new release. This will increase the daily revenue by at least 30% as it happened to me, but I had to add manually some missing and very profitable algo and coins.

I bet the users of AM will be very happy to see they are earning 30% more just because important algos like PHI are missing from AM, do you all agree ?
