A question Patrike,
I noticed the new version from yesterday of NemosMiner has a lot more miners for various algos (ccminerpolytimos, RavenMiner225RVN, ccminerskunk, and many more ) than you have by default in AM.
Can you improve benchmarking as I suggested in the past, to have an in depth mining that will also select the most profitable miner for each algo ?
Also NemosMiner implemented a better profit switching algorithm and many users will switch from AwesomeMiner to Nemos soon because it offers better daily income than AwesomeMiner just because it picks miners and algos are switching in a smarter way. NemosMiner is computing and using a parameter called TrustLevel, that is a difference between estimated and actual 24h profitability for each algo from each pool.
What do you think ?
Thanks for your feedback on this.
There are a few areas where I'm planning to do improvements. Improving the profit switcher is one of them, and that includes both making it more configurable, but also better in terms of predictions. I've been thinking of making use of the servers I have for Cloud Services to also keep track of the profit trends for all these popular pools. Then it's not your local Awesome Miner that needs to be running for a long time to figure this out, as you might have reboots and similar. However, it would still only be about what the pools are presenting - if their Actual 24h value would a bit incorrect (in case of a fault or scam), it wouldn't be possible to detect.
Although the Profit Factor can be manually set in Awesome Miner today for these pools. it would be great to have the software track the actual payouts. However, the total number of pools and algorithms are probably around 100 by now, and actually mine on all of them for a long period of time to track the pool performance is possible but very time consuming.
Thank you, Patrike.
Because there are many miners having more algos and also new profitable algos, similar to Raven for example that was very profitable for the last 2 weeks (it was around 30% better than x17) and other algos that are not very used are helping spreading the miners to mine different coins.
Having some services on your server will also help, because an NGINX server with optimized cache can handle a lot more traffic and 3rd party websites that are now overloaded by very large number of requests.
I really do think it will help everyone if you can implement a better benchmarking that will also use a lot more mining software that for example you can see in Nemos Miner 3.0 that has at least 5 more variations just from ccminer, with optimized intensity and code. Also because some GPUs are failing for some intensity settings it will reduce a lot of trials from users if AM can benchmark all capable mining software for each algo and select the best mining software for an algo (eventually intensity adjustments can help if possible).
Thanks again and have a great day, Patrike.
