I have a port question when using AwesomeMiner + Mining Pool Hub + 1060 rigs
Is the configuration supposed to use 17xxx (Algo switch mining) or 12xxx (Multi-algo switch mining) ports?
Miningpoolhub indicates 17XXX is best for asics whereas 12XXX is best for GPUS. When I go through the default configuration through AwesomeMiner it automatically sets up each algorithm with 17XXX though that seems incorrect.
Thoughts?
Ex:For LyraREv2
stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:17018
or
stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:12018
See:
https://miningpoolhub.com/index.php?page=gettingstartedBoth are valid, here's the difference:
Port numbers of 17xxx will always mine the specified algo, but may change what coin is actually being mined.
Port numbers of 12xxx are auto switch ports, and are turned on and off at MPH by the algo profitability switching. A miner connected here will be disconnected when that algo is not currently profitable.
You can try contacting MPH operator directly. Hes easy to talk to but has been really busy lately. Try him on email or skype.
Its not really that important to me at least, merely a nusiance issue. The actual profitability compares favorably to the theoretical values, so the gauge is just a nice thing to make sure its all still working.
2. On the Zcoin Dashboard, I can see the Recent Credits for the past few days.
On 2017-12-08 it was noticeably lower, at about 1020AM UTC, I stopped receiving shares. At about 1220PM I received the email "no shares from worker in 10min". I logged in via TV and it was running as expected. But the shares only resumed at about 0930PM UTC.
How can I debug this? My Monero miner was still going strong, so it cannot be the network connection.
I think this was a pool issue last night, since my 24h profitability is about half of what I was expecting. There were some website issues last night, and a database issue as well that resulted in shares not being credited.
Lets see if it continues happening, or if the pool operator finds and fixes an issue.

I closed my miner 10 mins ago. The zcoin dashboard went from 800h/s to 1.1kH/s..... "Hashrate based on shares submitted in the past 5 minutes." Im not sure what's going on here. These stats make no sense...
I think the dashboard gauge has a significant amount of time weighted averaging going on, it seems to take quite a while to reflect changes in miner output and never catches up 100%. Every time I look at it I find some weird number from 0 to hashrate.
