Sorry, I didn'y notice how many rigs you have.

ITS absolutely a good advise to avoid ALL the algo in which your hashrate may influence the  pool one beyng more than 10 % of it.


If for example the hashrate is 100 and you increase the pool hashrate by 10 % your BTC/MHs/day  will instantly become 90% of what the pool reported so, then Nemos will suggest to switch as soon as possible. ANd reapeat


Its happening a lot on x17 / Lyra 2rev2 for Verge. Nemos keep jumping between the two algos and because the miner takes  normally 60 second to reach its peak, you think that you are mining at the benchamark speed, instead you mine well below it.


I will stay with the biggest pool, may be theoretically earning less, but at the end of the day, earning more.


In that sense, Nicehash its better.


I would suggesy you to point some rigs on Zpool as well as for some Algos they have a very stable hashrate and earnings

Thanks. Does pool/global hash rate not also play a role? what is the point of mining if there is a like 20 other miner in the pool.

I have a short list, skein,bitcore,x16s,cryptonightV7,equihash,ethash,hsr,x16s,Lyra2RE2,neoscrypt,x16r,x17,lyra2z

Im thinking of dropping bitcore though but I seem to be mining it alot although the pool has like +-20 miners. of which I have 10 rigs.

That is a good point. For some algorithms like Bitcore, it is possible to have a large share of the pool's current hash rate.  In those cases, mining with the pool is not much better than solo-mining the coins by yourself and any earnings will be slow to payout.  I have seen cases where two GPUs can be half of a port's current hash rate even on relatively large pools like Blaze. Also, the price estimates are usually less accurate with these algorithms due to the inconsistent work and slow time to find new blocks.  I recently added a feature to my software Hash Auger so that it will automatically exclude ports with low hash rates.  You may want to consider disabling certain algorithms on your rigs if you find that you are contributing a large share of the hash rate.

You don't have to. That's the good thing about multi algo switcher.

I am mining on Zergpool as well AND in Ahashpool with a rig of Gtx 1070.

Most of the time its mining on Zerg , fewer time on Ahashpool with 8 % gain and 600 sec, in order to MINIMIZE the switch

Most of the time I 'm mining Neoscrypt / Lyra2rev2/Tribus on Zergpool


Average 3 times a day its mining Skein. And when it does, Its the highest ROI/minutes I got. Very high also with Timetravel Phi and Skunk.


Its a pain when you make the benchmark, but after, its very good.


Here the list : bitcore,c11,hsr,keccakc,Lyra2RE2,lyra2z,neoscrypt,phi,skunk,tribus,x16r,x16s,x17,xevan,timetravel,skein.
I deleted most of the Asic, but  Kekkakc.

I average 0.4 microbtc/day/card with the 1070.

If you need, I will pm you my BTC address for the test rig and you can see by yourself

I am using zergpool with nemosminer with 66 1070's
I see that I mainly mine x16r,x16s,Neoscrypt,HSR,Lyra2r2 and Lyra2z
when I used Nicehash I almost only mined Lyra2r2 and Neoscrypt.

should I remove the other algorithms? As they do kick in now and again but I am not so sure it I worth the interruption when switching.
