how do you mean excel would be way to static i don't get that you can get excel to take live real time updating feeds straight from websites from pools and exchanges and also API call's,,, process the data relative to your own mining power and then auto work out the most profitable for you,,,, the only bit i have not done is get excel to actually auto switch the miner ...

OK, if you want to use excel in that way, as a sort of intermediate visualisation of the profitability, then I guess you could do it. There are API commands to let sgminer change pool so if you should write some code that reads your instantly updated excel sheet and sets the miner. If you already have code to read the API from pools and exchanges and put that into excel than the other way around to sgminer wouldn't be that difficult. Just read the docs that come with sgminer about the API commands.

is there some way sgminer can be made to switch pools using a profitability password when the pools are not Nicehash pools

cheers

Not using a password as far as I know, that would have to be implemented on the pool side and as you mentioned yourself Nicehash is the only one so far to do this.
CGwatcher has an option to change pool according to coin-profitability but it hasn't been updated for a long time and only lists the older coins Sad

how about getting sgminer to talk to Microsoft excel through api or something ??

just a shot

Coin profitability is very dynamic and changes every time one of the coins moves on to a new block, so it changes constantly. An excel sheet would be way too static for this purpose. If you can write a tool to use the SGminer API then you can also use the APIs from various pools and exchanges to poll difficulty and exchange price and change the pool on SGminer based on that. But I doubt if it's worth all that trouble.

Ok so you are talking about adding a diff setting in the miner password yeah ?

so where do you notice this "higher effective hashrate" recorded ? on a pool webpage or something,,, or is it some more in depth knowledge about mining ect

cheers

Yes, make the diff change via password, then watch your hashrate over the next half hour or so. It'll typically be higher when set to what your equipment likes, like any other setting.

haven't found a way to mine with my older cards (two 5870 and one 5830) for neoscrypt efficiently...i think it is only a matter of time till someone tweaks the miner for older cards, currently i'm using it to mine cryptonote with claymore miner and these three cards fetch me 754h/s compared to a single 280x h/s of ~600h/s....i remember when claymore later added support for older cards, the same will happen to neoscrypt miners..

Have you tried the kernel modded for older cards yet?

If not, try this: http://phoenixcoin.org/downloads/neoscrypt_vliw.cl

I'm using it for 5870's....42 kh/s each card...hopefully soon someone get's a kernel for us.

The top 2 GPU's are 290x, the bottom are 290's.

how are these wu reading's so low mine are between 280.000/m and 300.000/m

Quote from: damm315er on November 18, 2014, 08:09:04 AM

The low WU is from running 256 difficulty. Running 64 diff, gives higher WU like you are getting, but lower overall effective hashrate.

So the new neoscrypt kernel "isn't released yet", but the hashrate on most of the neoscrypt coins has doubled in the last few hours..

Is that's how it's gonna be? Know someone to get the new kernel?

Nope. It's here: https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/neoscrypt.cl

Worksize should be 64, don't bother setting TC, GPU threads 2. Basically the same as my earlier screenshot.

hi, i have a rig with 5 280x's and a ssd running win 8.1/ amd 13.12. I got suggested to use pimp since i want a gui miner capable of switching between many algorithms on a switching pool but i don't have a usb card,
so i would have to install it on my ssd. If i install pimp can i keep win8.1?

What do i need pimp for, would be it be better than sgminer pointed to a switching pool on win8.1, if that works?

You should be getting 325 to 335 khs with 290 (non-x) GPU's currently. And Wolf0 has found a bottleneck in the code that's causing the 290/290x not to be able to achieve full speed, so they should eventually be able to go considerably farther than that.

i was woundering why my 290x's dont go faster than the 290 nonx

Stupid cloud hashing company doesn't sign large transactions on weekends. No wonder it's taking fucking ages. Should be later today, I'm hoping within 6 - 8 hours.

Anything else?

Fyi, I tried the sgminer 5.1 (280x/ 160 khash) neoS.cl with cgminer 3.7.7b, failed and have not spent much, if any, time on it since.

Neoscrypt is not to the plug and play stage yet, wanna mine it, plan on some tinkering time. Wink
