When I get back I want to investigate some of the other services out there to see if they can be integrated in. One thing that just a day of running has shown me is that NiceHash is no longer the dominant player. I've been switching between NiceHash, TradeMyBit, and YAAMP regularly with the controller. It would be interesting to see if these other pools are in the same ballpark.

Agreed, that's why we need alternatives Wink

Yeah the TMB bug is gone, working flawlessly. Thank you!

It was a parsing error in the program. It would hit an entry it didn't expect and stop parsing at that point. The API appears to return results in a random order so the unknown value could be hit at any point in the lsit and everything after it will be ignored. Fixed now.

Everything work now, switching between yaamp, tmb, Nh and price keep getting updated

Now TMB X11 price get price update

TMB api must have big trouble.

Nothing to do with Minercontrol working fine, but with TMB API.
Perhaps if you can, if no answer from api -> set price to 0 ?

Had the same problem as Zels, but with x11 and x15 algo...when price "stuck" restarted the app TMB prices went to 0, now they are stuck at zero

Gotta be a parsing error of some sort. Will try to take a look before I leave town tomorrow.

TMB Price was stuck here for Nscrypt:

And after the restart every TMB price at 0:

Again for trademybit:

Running your tool on 2 rig now, 1 amd and 1 nvidia

On 1 Rig looks like price was lock for trademybit and minercontrol keep thinking price was best and didn't change. Restart Minercontrol, and price are at 0 for TMB

On both rig minercontrol report 0 for trademybit price in all algo now Undecided

Looking myself at https://pool.trademybit.com/api/bestalgo?key=myapikey price keep being updated.

OK, will have to see if I can reproduce the behavior. Its either a parsing issue or the data is coming and going from the result. I'm leaning towards the later if you had a price stuck at a value and then went to zero the after a restart. The way the code currently works it only updates the price for algorithms in the result. If the entry is not there it won't update. I'll need to change this to set everything to zero and then populate with available values so anything missing will immediately go to zero.

Just did a check myself and I'm seeing this for the best algo result:

Code:

[{"algo":"x15","score":"0.00239332","actual":"0.000703917"},{"algo":"nscrypt","score":"0.00109983","actual":"0.00234007"},{"algo":"x11","score":"0.000856783","actual":"0.000155779"},{"algo":"scrypt","score":"0.000371006","actual":"0.000371006"},{"algo":"x13","score":"0.000223987","actual":"0.000060537"},{"algo":"nist5","score":"0.000157642","actual":"0.00000955406"}]

If you are zero right now even though x15 is in the result then we definitely have an issue.

I've solved the x15 algorithm with the right miner Wink

i've messed up while moving files.

Hmm,...regarding TMB prices when I've first launched the app there were no prices, then after a while on some computers TMB x13 price showed up, and then little bit later also TMB x11,...but no x15 and nist5,....strange.... and i've checked the api url+key manually and get all the prices the most profit algo was x15 at that moment, but the app started mining x11 TMB,...so something is definitely wrong with how TMB prices are gathered

And one more suggestion, i've run miners on multiple computers and the ones which are really fast, start running the first item on the list - and it's not sorted properly and then immediate switch when sorted, I suggest a 1 or 2 second delay when you start the MinerControl in order to avoid this issue.

Regarding X15 not showing up on TMB, could it be something to do with this on their page:

Quote

2014-09-05 at 12:47am EST: X15 port re-opened with NMB added

Perhaps they report 0 when they close a port for various reasons.

As for the delay, I have a couple of seconds in there now. Could be that some of the sites are running a little slow. I may have to extend the time out to five seconds or maybe make it configurable.

The way I handle the identical pricing between NiceHash and WestHash is to use a weighting against the one I don't want to be primary. In my case I have a "0.9" weight on NiceHash. If WestHash goes down then I will try to connect to NiceHash for the same algorithm as long as nothing else is more than 90% of the same earning.

Not sure what you mean by "sequence based services".

[/quote]

for example

service algo ... ... net balance activity balance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nicehash x11 0,001008 0,002008 0,003008
nicehash x15 0,000508 0,001008
.
.
westhash x11 0,001008 0,002008 0,003008
westhash x15 0,000508 0,001008

but keep on auto switch to all service with higher net/price

I have exactly the same problem....

Same for me, nothing show for trademybit
But if i got to https://pool.trademybit.com/api/balance?key=My_api_key it return price like that:

Code:

{"autoexchange":{"est_total":"0.00001714","unexchanged":"0.00000181","exchanged":"0.00001533","alltime":"0.00000000"},"coins":{"ABC":{"confirmed":0,"unconfirmed":0},"AC":{"confirmed":0,"unconfirmed":0},"ANC":{"confirmed":0,"unconfirmed":0},"AUR":{"confirmed":0,"unconfirmed":0},"BBL":{"confirmed":0,"unconfirmed":0},"BLKT":{"confirmed":0,"unconfirmed":0},"BLTR":{"confirmed":0,"unconfirmed":0},"BLU ........

Not a big trouble since it's not mining there often for me

Ok, But it still won't show any Trademybit prices.

Here is my trademybit config:

},
   "trademybit": {
   "apikey": "ea_something_something_something_something_something_6",
   "account": "suchfakeaccount",
   "worker": "750Ti",
   "param1": "-q -r 3 -R 10 -a",
   "param2": "stratum+tcp://am01.eu.trademybit.com",
   "algos": [
   { "algo": "x11", "folder": "", "command": "nvminer.exe", "arguments": "_PARAM1_ x11 -o _PARAM2_:4440 -u _ACCOUNT_._WORKER_ -p x" },
   { "algo": "x13", "folder": "", "command": "nvminer.exe", "arguments": "_PARAM1_ x13 -o _PARAM2_:5550 -u _ACCOUNT_._WORKER_ -p x" },
   { "algo": "x15", "folder": "", "command": "nvminer.exe", "arguments": "_PARAM1_ x15 -o _PARAM2_:6660 -u _ACCOUNT_._WORKER_ -p x" },
   { "algo": "nist5", "folder": "", "command": "nvminer.exe", "arguments": "_PARAM1_ nist5 -o _PARAM2_:7770 -u _ACCOUNT_._WORKER_ -p x" }
   ]

EDIT: well actually it started showing prices for X11, but others are still empty
2 EDIT: now I can see x13 prices too.

Well I have a problem with the apikey too... It won't show me trademybit prices!

Does the key have to be inside brackets like this: "[mykey]" or should I remove the brackets and put it like this "mykey" ?

No brackets, just inside of quotes the same as any other key is stored in JSON.

But I have two issues:
1) can't get Trademybit prices show, yes entered the api key as shown above, might be their api dowm atm
2) if I run x15 algorithm it says running but the miner window disappears, NHC was working without a problem

TradeMyBit was probably either down or you had a bad api key. You should be able to run the url in the browser with your key to see if it reports back numbers, and error message, or nothing at all. I had TMB numbers on my screen when I went to bed last night and when I got up this morning but no telling what happened during the night.

As for X15, do you have a different miner for that algo vs the others? I've seen two things which can cause the quick crash like you are seeing. First is a simple bad config. In that case the miner will simply exit out right away. The other is Windows Security getting in the way. For my Windows 7 machine if I put a new miner exe on and launch it via the controller it will crash. If I then double click on the exe I see a Windows security dialog asking me to allow or deny this program. If you click the check box to not show that dialog again and then click yes the dialog won't happen again for that file in that location and the controller will be able to launch it.
