Well, looks like I'm one of those dumb ones who can't seem to add PHI even after spending few hours looking through the thread, AM help pages, and trying various different combinations of possible configurations...
Here's what I did so far:
1. Added a new algorithm called 'PHI1612' without defining any custom hashrate. I am assuming I can do this later on when I perform benchmarking on a particular rig. I want to do this anyhow since most of my rigs have different combinations of GPUs with custom Afterburner settings.
2. Added a user defined online service called 'PHI1612' on AHashPool (will add others later on). URL base was specified as 'mine.ahashpool.com:8333', algorithm URL part as 'PHI1612' and algorithm API identifier as 'PHI1612'. I left password and command line parameters empty.
3. In the 'statistics' section of the options dialog, I made sure WhatToMine is the service provider. I did not add any additional JSON URL.
Now I did 'Update Now' on Online Services tab. I don't see any PHI based entries - I'm assuming this doesn't require any delayed 'sync' time. I did try changing PHI1612 to just 'PHI' and that didn't seem to help. I did try 'ahashpool.com:8333' instead of 'mine.ahashpool.com:8333' just in case and that didn't help.
Under 'Coins & Profit' tab, I don't see any 'LUX' coins listed there either. The way I understood the instruction, this gets picked up automatically. But I did try adding it manually just in case and of course that didn't help either.
I must be missing some seriously simple step somewhere.....
Some tips are much appreciated...
algo url part is just phi, api ident is just phi, you have to refer that to the pool's setting itself (for example, if altminer.net is an online service that can be defined, then url part and api ident would likely be phi1612 cause altminer.net setup their pool that way)
and remember to tick enabled in managed profit switcher
did u check phi is enabled in managed software?
did u check said managed software is enabled in the profit profile?

User defined coin won't show up if it wasn't defined or listed in the json import field in statistics page, you don't need to set the coin up to mine on predefined online services, just the algo will be fine. LUXCoin isn't in the Whattomine coins api so a json entry is needed if you want the coin to show up in the Coin's tab as well as statistics for profit calculation.
