First, thank you for this awesome software.
I have started in this altcoin mining stuff a couple of weeks ago. I have been using NiceHashMiner and AwesomeMiner, but I felt they need some flexibility. I am programmer and was thinking about starting such a project when I found this . I have some questions, which I could not find in the dozens of pages of this thread I have tried to search:
- Does MinerControl support dual miner, such as Claymore ETH+DCR/Pascal/Lbry? If so, does it calculates if it is worth to run in dual mode?
- Is it possible to use cpu miners concurrently to gpu miners? I am using xmr-stak-cpu.
- Should I fill the hashrate tables manually, or the program updates it as it runs algos? I have 2x GTX 1070. Should I input combined hashrates in those fields?
- Why there are partial conf files in the config directory?
Thanks a lot,
Rafael Del Rey

is it possible MC to start with high priority and launch miners with high priority as well, probably it is a good idea MC to run on core 0 and miner on core 1/example with 2 core cpu/ it can be more flexible with using affinity mask with more cores.
Use Process Lasso and set it permanently. Also use CleanMem to deal with the memory leak or unreleased memory hog that MC is (it's not perfect but it helps).

Unfortunately, using the separate wallet doesn't propagate the public key to _ACCOUNT_ when multi.
June 16, 2017, 12:55:16 AM
Looks good! I like the separate wallet feature. Some issues I've noticed with 1.7.0.5+:
Restart and switch no longer work after a certain period of time; stop also requires at least two stops to properly activate. They may be related to tpruvot's 2.0 final ccminer.
The column sort for Net_$ doesn't work on double digits; to verify, sort by that column then sort again by Average.
Need a high price fix for the cyclical bug in pool software not taking into account difficulty decreases/increases on inactive/low hash rate coins. It's most evident on Hashrefinery's X13 right now.
I'm also seeing identical values across the board for multi-coin, same algo mining at the same pool which doesn't seem right, e.g. Hush and Komodo at YIIMP and CXT, WYV and ECA at CoinMiners.

Hey everyone,
We've had a couple of algo changes at Hash Refinery since the MC default config was created. Specifically, argon2 has been removed and scrypt & x17 have been added. The changes are included in the follow config (remember to update your BTC address).
Cheers!

What is the method used by MC to calculate Earn using WhatToMine?
Here, it always appears different from the WhatToMine site and the same coin but different pools appear in different positions like Lbry, Coimine pool appears at the top and Suprnova pool at the last place. I do not understand why they appear in different positions.

Thanks Giraudy for Siamining.
Is there any way to add extra commands to Miner?
As --plimit = or --tlimite = --gpu-clock =
When I add these commands to the pool I edited it appears as Dead.
I use the lbry.suprnova pool but when I use the MC as a miner this pool is always at last even though the WTM LBCcoin is second in gain as my hashrate.

Has anyone tried running MC as a Windows Service, so that it starts up without having to log in?

MC is causing troubles with yiimp pool, I think those bellow would mitigate the overload as multiple wallet addresses cause multiple api calls
"YIIMP": {
"nobalance": true,
"nospeed": true,
"nospeedworker": true,
but best way is to separate api check module in another program that will pull api data once and distribute it on all rigs in clients' LAN, that will cut number of api requests by number of rigs.

I think there's a problem with reworked MC, original would put price 0.00 when pool api is blank/errors on getting a responce, in this case yiimp pool is down, but MC kept using last known price and when no higher price is received from another pool, miner is idling on trying to connect. Probably best way to code it is to skip a coin when no api is received in two(or maybe configurable variable) consequent api calls.
May 31, 2017, 06:51:24 AM
well, read my recent posts... and see how coin is named on their api.

How can I get a price from Suprnova for a new coin? Which priceid?
May 31, 2017, 12:17:36 AM
First of all: thank you for the time and work, devs! Such a great tool.
I've been using MC for about a week. After a couple of days straight running, MC starts to really slow down periodically. The UI will freeze up for 20 to 25 seconds, then it will work normally for a minute or so, then it'll freeze up again. It does seem to coincide with price updates. After closing the application and opening it agian, it pauses for, I'd say, about 1 second. MAYBE 2 seconds.
I have a 7700k and 32GB of RAM; I'm not used to that happening! RAM usage gets up to between 700 and 800 MB, varying up and down. The miner itself seems to keep mining away just fine--it's only the GUI that has an issue.
I have most, but not all, of the config's included pools set up and running.
Is there something I can do to prevent the slowdown? I'd rather not have to babysit it if I can help it.
Any help will be appreciated!
