i think i am going to let this idea die. People don't seem to follow it.

It is NOT like the other ones. As the other ones do the switching for you, which loses shares. In the end i wanted to use the hub feature but be able to see what was going on.

Either way i have my own running, and it works for me.. so i will just leave it there.

First off it wouldn't work with other pools. Simplifying to one pool was more the goal. Using the built in system (12xxx Ports) to do the switching.
My app was more about reporting and information gathering than control the switching.

However as i dug deeper down the rabit whole it seems unlikely a public version is going to happen.
It ended up being 3 parts.
first part: Controls the mining software and has an api conversion for the miner apis. AKA all miners report the same way so i can use a universal get for miner statistics.
second part: a caching proxy that provides miningpoolhub data in a easy to digest format and limits the call to the hub to avoid overload.
third part: The clean nice looking front end that display everything i need to see.

So with the resulting complexity i don't think i will go through the effort of making it something i can share. If someone is Serious about having it setup for themselves they can let me know and we can talk privately. It is nice to be able to see at a glance, what coin and algo i am running, as well as projected profits based on MPH Pools and off of last 24 hours profit.

Yes
17xxx ports will mine whatever coin is most profitable for that algorithm.
12xxx will use the hub features.
i believe there are 25xxx or something ports for the specific coins if you want to do that instead. (this one i havn't confirmed, just think i saw them when digging around one day).

I hope my post limiting gets removed soon. Its frustrating not being able to post lol.

To answer this question. When you use the 12xxx ports then you will get authorization failed messages if the algorithm you are trying to mine is not the most profitable as configured in your hub.

If you want to mine this algorithm no matter what and just get the most profitable coin from it use the 17xxx ports.

That looks interesting, however not really what i am going for. The point of what i am making is specifically to make MiningPoolHub mining using the HUB feature easier. And to make it completely platform independent. i use it on windows for example, however because its nodejs it would run on any OS.

I am not sure if anyone is interested, and i am not trying to step on anyones toes.

I found the tools that do algo switching and what not are too broad a spectrum for me. I don't want multi pools and all this stuff.

I spent the weekend working on a tool for myself (its is not even close to ready for others consumption, however i don't want to waste my time if no one is interested).

So i am checking if anyone is interested, and if it would be worth my time to make it configurable and usable by others.

It is written in nodejs.

Heres the basic explanation. I am using the hub feature of miningpoolhub, so the site itself controls the algo switching.
I use nodejs to launch the miner, and when that miner cancels it switches to the next miner in the list.
When i switch i notify an API system i put together, and it loads up a basic web front end.
When you load the web front end it queries the miner your running, and if you switched algo it checks miningpoolhub to find the most profitable coin for that algorithm.
it then displays, algorithm, coin, how long that miners been running and the specific GPU values.

this page auto refreshes every 5 minutes, but only checks with MPH for coin data when the algo switches.

It makes it easy to do a quick peek, see how the mining is going.
It also makes sure i finish each pplns cycle before switching as the hub itself is managing my coin switching.

So again, i made it for myself. I am seeing if there would be any value if me making it configurable and sharing with others. Software would be free, and open source. I would accept donations though.

I can't speak to the CPU Miner, i don't use it.

However i have started leaning towards the batch file method using the hub feature. Instead of awesome miner. I found awesome miner switched too often, thus causing me to loose progress.

The batch file only switches after the share is found. This way you don't lose as much. (That is my understanding.)

Anyone going to explain for the rest of us?


OK i think i see it.

They do not use the same ports and ID.

Each miner uses its own server and IP combo, the use the same username.workername to manage it.

Then you can only connect to the most profitable pool. Is this the discrepancy?

How about you explain your claim, cause again his theory looks to be completely correct. So as it stands you made a baseless claim and still have not backed it up. Maybe its you who needs to wake up.

Are you saying the FAQ is wrong? or djmuk's theory? Cause from what i can see his theory is absolutely correct.

12xxx ports will only allow you to connect to whatever algorithm is most profitable for what you have set in the hub section of your account. All others will not accept you connection.
The batch file loops through miners until it finds the one you can use.

17xxx ports will let you connect whenever and will switch coins, but does nothing to switch algorithms.

The FAQ actually makes sense configuration wise, all we really need is a clear explanation of what and why its doing it.

I am sure you have had offers from all over the place, but if you do want any help with some UI stuff and whatnot. (Not asking to see the secret backend). I would be willing to put some time in.

On a separate note i need to ask.

Does MPM work using the hub feature? Or does it do its own calculations and switch when it thinks its best?

I apologize then, i may have quoted at the wrong level in the thread.

From what i can understand. The multi algo is not done through the hub itself really. The applications (Awesome miner or MPM) check an API call to see whats the most profitable, then the launch the appropriate minning software to the appropriate pool. So its like an overwatch of the Algo switching.

So if the same algo stays top, but the underlying coing changes the tool does nothing as that is handled at the hub. However if the algo changes, then the tool closes the current miner and opens a new one.

Hope this makes some sense.

I feel like you haven't really grasped how it works.

It takes time, it could be that the coins you are having converted take time to convert or aren't popular enough. It could be that its taking a while at the exchange. Patience is the game. complaints and a bad attitude are pointless.

It states that you will get the value of your exchange minus 0.2% for fees and whatnot.

So this means that WHEN it goes through the exchange you will get the value AT THAT MOMENT minus 0.2% and when that transaction is complete it will begin moving to your auto exchange coin.

Take your time, give it a few days. From what i can see its working well, but it won't show immediately. And it damn well performs better than Zpool from what i can see.


AS For "Like Nice hash". Nice Hash DID NOT CONVERT ANYTHING. Someone paid in BTC to rent your Hash rate. The transaction was completely in BTC. Your hash rate mines for the BUYER. Your payment has nothing to do with the coins you mine.

So this is NOT the same thing, hence more patience is required. And honestly a better attitude. If you go into each coin you can see each transaction and what its doing. You don't need the exact transaction numbers as it might have other peoples transactions, and you don't need to be tracing that.

Hope this helps, but maybe it doesn't. Either way, that's my 2 cents on the complaining.
