Since cgwatch does not update for multi-algo switching.Which miner watching program can be used?

when using nicehash auto what does it mean when  algo x11 is "dead"

cheers
[Edit]   I am guessing this is because nicehash switch the algo off because it is not profitable so my miner then says the port is dead ..

However when i look here:-

 https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?a=4

and read the "Currently Paying" for x13 it say's 0.4989 BTC/GH/Day,  and then the "Currently Paying" for Scrypt-A.-Nf. it say's 2.1000 BTC/GH/Day

so why is x13 marked as live and amI minning it rather than Scrypt-A.-Nf. ?

Check batman74 config, few post above

No progress Sad

Are u running it with cgwatcher, because of the several same settings for each card?

No, i disable all GPU expect 1, still no working... I try same configuration @ home and work -_-

what do you mine(scrypt or x11 or.....)?

I try to resolve the problem for use it with Miner Control.
if you are using cgwatcher you need

"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"api-listen" : true,

in the conf

Hi
     I take it by the lack of  solo mine related posts that not many ppl solo mine x11 coin [DRK] ?

It was only the wind.
You actually did assert that - at least indirectly: "Don't try to tell me that something that is legal is bad and something that is illegal is fine..."
What I said is nothing like what you said...  Thanks for quoting me - put it next to what you said, it isn't an indirect assertion of what you said at all.  Damn, lrn 2 logic?

But let's go on with your fantasy that I'm not making any points whatsoever; it's like talking to a brick wall.
I said you were ignoring my points... convenient you ignore that point too, lol...  And you say it's like talking to brick wall.

By the way, you ARE a dick. You're defending what is essentially taking revenue away from someone who deserves it. That makes you worse than a dick. That makes you cancer.
Huh?  What exactly am I defending?  And who do you think deserves revenue?  You or gringo for making minor modifications to a huge long standing community project?  What kind of arrogant shit are you?

Oh wait... I know exactly...  The kind that boasts about things that are fairly trivial, pointlessly throws more gcc optimization flags at his builds then you can shake a stick at, and then shows up around these forums to gloat regularly.  Oh, and thinks he "deserves" revenue.  Wolf0.

Minor modifications like replacing two algorithms outright because apparently no one else who saw it saw anything wrong with it.

Anyone can write a shell for a miner - it takes a long time and it's tedious and boring, sure - actually coding the important parts well takes skill. You think it's so minor and simple? Come on, hit my hashrate yourself, then. I've got plenty more ideas to try out, so if you think you can do it better, then get to it! Otherwise, sit down, shut up, and realize that people who do skilled work should be paid for it.

You sit there, probably having mined X11/X13/X15 at some point yourself, talking about how minor and trivial optimizing it is - well, show me.
Unlike you, I don't need to brag about my private accomplishments... I don't have any personal need to show you - that's you with a piece missing inside that causes you to seek external validation.

And yes, I consider this stuff trivial for a skilled developer.  Congrats, you made something fairly unoptimized more optimized... it isn't hard.

Oh, right, the old "I've done it a dozen times better than you, but I don't need to show you because I'm better than that."

What you mean to say is, you don't have jack shit, and I do. Talk is cheap - if you could code your way out of a wet paper bag, you'd have something.

"Nothing wrong with reverse engineering software." -- there it is again. You're using the GPL as an excuse is what you're doing - "I want this for free, so this is how I rationalize taking it."
What?  My comment about reverse engineering had nothing to do with the GPLv3...  Nor did I talk about free things, did I?  I simply said that if you release something (sell it to me, give it to me for free, whatever), and there isn't something in the terms of sale or license that prohibits me from reverse engineering that, then I am free to do so.

Now, girino used the code in violation of the license - which was also wrong. But it doesn't mean ripping apart his work and using it for free was any better.
Yes, it does.  Girino violated the license (illegal).  Someone else reverse engineered a binary (totally legal) that was released publicly.

I would be a dick if I came here just to taunt people with something they couldn't have - but I didn't. I came here with a clear goal in mind, it was fulfilled, and I haven't posted anything about further improvements.

I AM respecting the license, by the by.
But you're not respecting the spirit of this miner or this thread, and that's what is so offensive and backhanded.  I mean damn, look at the origin of this thread - it's about nicehash spurring open and public development.

Now, stop trying to throw shit at me that doesn't make any sense.  If you're going to try to argue with me, then at least do it with some facts behind you.  Don't try to tell me that something that is legal is bad and something that is illegal is fine...

Don't try to tell you that something legal is bad and something illegal is fine? Now that is an argument that has no leg to stand on. Legal and illegal are decided by people. Often people with motives other than serving the common good, and even if they were incorruptible, as people, they can make mistakes! There are MANY unjust laws, all around the world. So your assertion that legal == right and illegal == wrong is total horseshit.

But, let's play that game. What I'm doing is completely legal, so you shouldn't have shit to say. Or, is there something you think is wrong about it, regardless of legality? Something wrong, like taking someone else's hard work and distributing it for free? You're basing your argument on faulty assumptions.
Sigh... you are just so fail wolf0... that's what you've got?  I never asserted what you claim... dude, wtf? Learn to read, man.  I never ever said right == legal.  Also, we were specifically talking about software licencing, so your moral rant was just way out there.

Reverse engineering is legal. If you're not competant enough to obfuscate binaries, or you release binaries without strict licencing, then expect them to get ripped off...

Your arguing about nothing now.  You're just trying to distract from the point.  It's just sad how you ignore all the points I make, and choose one thing in each post to miss interpret and rant about.

You actually did assert that - at least indirectly: "Don't try to tell me that something that is legal is bad and something that is illegal is fine..."

Hello,
I tried to download version 5 but I can not get it to work, after a brand new .conf file and launch sgminer.exe the program exits immediately.
With pause command i can't see any error, they exit after "Using Jansson 2.6".
I have win7 64bit, 2.9.1 SDK, 14.20 Ati Driver.

I try some older version but the only works is 4.0.0.

Can someone help me?
Thank's a lot.

Please add support for switching on different gpu chips.

On one pc i had 5x280x and switching worked fine. One of them is dead and I took out an 290x from another pc. Switching back to an alg ends with an error. I can reproduce it on every configuration with different gpu chips, like 270x and 290.

Mining on one alg works fine.

I did not like an idea, but I had to try. Running two instances of sgminer with 2 same configs except a line "device": "0" / "device": "1,2,3,4". Why I did not like this idea? Because I do not really know which instance controls what (ie. temp). What I could see is that bin files are created even if the card is disabled. Switching back to an alg where bin file was created, produces an error. I remember I read somewhere that different gpu mem, shader, ... cause this error as it doesn't switch at the same time but I am too lazy to look through the forum.

From all other aspects it's working very stable for me, thanks for a nice software.

It was only the wind.
phzi, your attitude (about "nature of the project" saying release source) embodies exactly WHY most of the algorithms in SGMiner mine so slowly: You act entitled to other people's work - just like the people who stole from girino. You, and people like you, are the reason why most good devs don't dare spend time writing code to be used by all miners. And it seems like no one wants to say that. There are all sorts of people on this board who are amazing at this - but they figure they'd be wasting their time. I'll probably get hated on, but there it is.
That's simply a gross misrepresentation of the facts.  I've never said I'm entitled to anybody's work, nor have I acted like that.  It's simple - if you're using other people's work that they have licensed in a specific way, then you should respect those licenses.  What I said about releasing source is plain and simple - gtfo out of here with your advertising and subtle attempts to get people to pay contact you and buy your private modifications to an open source project...

Or, build your own miner from scratch and license it how you want.

You must just trying to point the finger at me for absolute bullshit because you're acting very distastefully and want to distract from that.

Also - stole from girino?  LOL... nothing wrong with reverse engineering software.  It definitely was not stealing - you're misusing words.  Specifically when what girino built was an extension to something that, again, is licensed GPLv3...

I'm not saying you shouldn't profit from your work.  I'm saying stop being a dick.
