Ok..this is driving me crazy.
If I want to use a *different* version of ccminer for certain algorithms, how do I do that?
Currently for example, there are two options. CCminer, and CCminer alexis. Between the two of them, those cover a good number of algorithms. Now I need to add more:
cc-miner SPMOD for example for phi, or ccminer-Palgin or KlausT for Lyra2z, etc
Options/managed software lets me add iser defined mining software, but its useless because there is no place to point to the binaries
if I go to options/managed miners, I can specify a mining software.exe file, but this seems to be apply to ALL algorithms on that miner, which is again, useless.
Either I simply don't understand the management paradigm, or I'm doing something wrong. There was previous advice to follow directions here:
http://awesomeminer.com/help/uploadsoftware.aspx
But again, useless. That just puts the executable on a remote system.
All I am trying to do is:
Add additional versions of ccminer to the managed software list, with the ability to point to the *specific* ccminer executable for each version of ccminer
Then, click on each ccminer version and assign it specific algorithms.
Sorry, its been really frustrating trying to figure this out.

1 First up, you download and extract the files if needed to you local machine where AM runs.
2. Setup the software in Options -> Managed Software -> Add... in User Defined mining software, for ccMiner forks it's straight forward full api and cli support, just enable the algo with the checkboxes that you want the fork to run on.
3. disable the default ccminer on the algo via the same way by editing them in the top section (predefined mining software), or else you are looking into AM conflicting on the same algo, which then it'll determine which to use via the order they are placed in your Profit Profile.
4. go to the profit profile used for your miner once the algo has been enabled, select the newly added software and click Configure... button, there you need to specify the EXE file of the User defined software, make sure you are browsing the correct host, below is the specific command line parameters if you needed.
if you want to make sure it is setup properly, the benchmark window will show which software is configured to run which algo, go from there, bench, save and mine away!
***
Once you have it running on your local machine (if that is a mining rig too), you can go with the documentation you read on how to set it up on remote mining rigs.
