The profit display for a user-defined coin does not work when the coin algo is set to "unspecified/multi".
I tried a test using these numbers:
Difficulty: 100,000,000
Block Reward: 10
Value in BTC: 1
Hash rate: 12.5 kh
Profit per day: $0.00016
That makes no sense. If I change to some specific algo the profit calc works. In both cases the algo on the managed miner was set to "unspecified/multi". This isn't a big problem but it does seem to be a bug unless I'm overlooking something.

Hi, it actually makes sense to have benchmarks per coin instead of per algo. It may be a bit of hard work to tweak this in the programming, but in the long run us (users) will have a more down to earth expectation of what we would be earning and the profit switching would be more accurate.
I'm not sure why you would want this. Awesome Miner calculates your earnings based upon your current hashrate, and current price price/difficulty of the coin.
If you are getting a different hashrate for two coins on the same algorithm, then something is wrong with you system or setup.
Choose 10 different coins, for example Neoscrypt, from different pools in different parts of the world, and then take the test. You'll see that you get different hashrate values.
If I am in Spain and I am in contact with a server in the USA or Japan, my connectivity is not as good, with which the hashrate is reduced. If the configuration of Vardiff is not correct in the server, it also changes the hashrate, and so several more things. Hypothetically it is always the same hashrate, but different causes make it fall for different reasons. A Pool in a bad server, will have bad connectivity, bad response, and therefore a poorer hashrate.
The only way to get it right and correct is to be able to measure the hashrate by pool / currency
I only invite you to take the test and then give your opinion. I have seen it in many currencies, in X17, x16s etc ... Different currencies, different hashrates, but within a margin. In X17 XVG the same rig gives 114-118 mhs, and in another currency that I can not remember now it did not exceed 105, and it is the same thing.
These hashrate differences cause the switch to be incorrect.
This is forcing me to do 3 hours tests in each pool / currency to see the deviation and modify it in the pool through the Profit field, but this is just a patch.
Please do the test and then give your opinion.

I have a question about the SMTP notifications, if the awesome miner fails to send a notification email for some reason, is there a way for the program to resend it

Thanks, that did the trick!

I see that the EWBF CUDA Equihash miner 0.3 is included in the current 5.3.1 version of AM. So Equihash BTG (144.5) is supported from a mining software standpoint.
However, if I create a pool to mine BTG using the new algo, I don't see BTG listed on the coins drop down menu. In fact under the Equihash algo, I only see the coins that have not forked yet.
So will an upcoming version of AM include the new Equihash algos on the Pool drop down menu?
I do see the new Equihash algos under Options/Algorithms, they are just not there to chose from when setting up a pool.

I don't have that in my version (v5.3.1 Premium):
I do have them all checked under algos:
But I haven't been able to bench any of them since I can't associate them with a pool.
You need to add BTG from what to mine See Image

Using that Fork is when I realized the difference of hash between currencies of the same protocol, that disables the effectiveness of Auto swtich and maybe it is the biggest failure of the program, which in my opinion should be taken into account for next updates, for Ensure better changes of the auto switch.
What are your settings for profit switching? What do you have the switching interval set to?
1m 28-32%

I Added software SRB 1.6.4 Set up as auto download see screenshots. However I cannot config the software on profit profile. @Patrike
July 12, 2018, 08:13:45 AM
Let me see if I follow... you have Awesome Miner installed on a separate computer from your rig... or are they on the same computer? If they are on the same computer, your computer may have rebooted, and that's why it appears that they have both stopped. You can enable a feature to start Awesome Miner to start when windows starts under the General options.
Your last sentence makes it sound like you moved the Awesome Miner program to another computer and you are still having this problem? Did you install the Remote Service on your rig?
yes, i install the remote service on my rig. i change my main awesome from laptop to pc. when on laptop awesome running well. after i change to pc then prob come, i use same registration code on my new pc.Your last sentence makes it sound like you moved the Awesome Miner program to another computer and you are still having this problem?

@Patrike SRB 1.6.3 added cannot config per Algo. I have done this in the past with no issue not sure whats causing this. I also see theres 1.6.4 now.

Hi Patrike. Looks like your advice helped with my issue with AM forgetting the locations of my custom miners. The file location was marked as read only in windows. I changed it but it kept changing back. I had to use a tutorial I googled to get the changes to stick, apparently some windows update screwed up windows for everyone it installed for. I always disable updates, but I do let it run once on a new install, and I guess that's what happened. Anyways, I had a good idea, not sure, but it might be an easy one. So about the field that you created in online services that keeps track of pool performance, is it possible for it to show numbers above 100%? That could make it more accurate. Thanks for all your help, and for creating a superb program!
Hello Patrike. So, unfortunately my problem returned. Everything was fine for like 10 days, and then I updated AM, and immediately after AM restarted it forgot all my changes again. So as far as what I did before with windows, the tutorial I read online told me I had to regain ownership of the folders (the whole drive as a matter of fact) then remove the checkbox in file explorer for read only. The thing that is really annoying is that the box still shows up as checked no matter what, (even if the drive is no longer read only) and other Windows users have confirmed this, but I am now able to add or delete files after following the tutorial. I believe the last time AM forgot my settings was right after another AM software update. If AM is able to update it's software why would it be unable to update the config file? Another interesting side note is that AM is remembering some things I've changed. For instance I changed a couple of my wallet addresses and those haven't reverted back when AM forgets the other items. I'm a bit frustrated at this point, every time it happens, at this point I basically have a config file in my head. (Ok, here we go again, point to excavator, point to nevermore, point to ccminer, point to claymore cryptonight miner, delete Baikal cube miner, update ip address of Baikal A900) Any other ideas you have will be greatly appreciated, I just want to keep the miner running. Thanks. July 12, 2018, 03:24:05 AM

it makes sense only with daggerhashimoto because of DAG size, lower end cards get better speeds on newer coins.

Trucobit... you have some crazy ideas and really edge-case problems... keep them coming. I've been taking a break from posting, but I'll go back and see if we can help you.
I use all the functions, and I am in front of the computer more than 10 hours every day, it is normal that if I touch all the functions and use all the functions, it is normal that I find fault, and the good thing is that we have a good programmer that corrects The falls.
If you do not understand half of what I say, it is because you do not know how to handle the program, or you do not understand the problem of having different HASHs in each currency for the same protocol, so it is difficult for you to guess the change.
Either I'm crazy or you're a newbie, it must be one of those two things.
Well, I'm not a newbie... so respectfully, that must mean that you are crazy.

If you only use the basics functions with an ASIC, you will not find big problems, because you will only be using 10% of the functions. I use EVERYTHING, I take it to the limit and I suggest the solutions.
I've used Awesome Miner for about a year now, I've experimented with all the features. I wrote up a way to use rules in Awesome Miner and integrate them with IFTTT to control smart plugs and give you the equivalent of a networked PDU for very little money.
One thing that I've learned in my 4+ years of mining and keeping up with the trends and pitfalls of mining is that above all else get your rigs to remain stable. Constant tinkering will only drive you crazy.

That for a same protocol there is a different hash in each currency, whether x17 or neoscrypt, makes the swtich not very accurate.
Are the coins that produce different hashrates on the same algorithm coming from the same pool?

IF you only put asic, that's easy and for people with little knowledge, you only use a small part of the program
For the programmer a user like me is worth his weight in gold. Because others like you, only use a small part, and when there is something strange or worry about reporting the error, with which, PAtrike can not improve it.

To me, Awesome Miner is like "software-defined" mining. There are lots of ways to stack the features to accomplish your desired outcome. It's rare that I would get stuck and need help. If there is a small problem then I check the logs and figure out why it happened, then work around it.
