You can't exclude specific coins out of the box, because that's not how pools like Zpool work.  You can exclude whole algorithms though.  You can uncheck the Ethash algorithm from your profit profile, then it will not switch to that at all.

Now, there is a way to exclude specific coins, but you have to manually setup each individual coin's pool URL and port in individual stand alone pools, then bunch them together in a pool group... then tell AM to use the custom pool group to profit switch against.  It's a little bit of work to setup the individual coins as individual pools... which is why sites like Zpool make it easier to just mine the algorithm... and AM just leverages this auto-switching ability.

You would add things like this in the command line parameters.  Where you add that depends on what you are trying to accomplish.  I usually only add custom command line parameters at the pool level, unless it's something to do specifically with that rig, then I add them at the managed miner or profit miner level.

the restart was happening almost like clock work, and only when mining using Awesome Miner. However, recently I tried something which for some reason caused the miners to run stably without restart. In Options, Profit Switching, I ticked Profit Switching Threshold and set it to 10%.. Then after a day of running with no restarts, I removed the the tick, and the miners still running without restarts. Not sure why this fixed it. So far no restarts or errors for last 48 hours.

Thanks.

This is what I don't understand, I really like this program, but it shouldn't be this hard to setup.   I shouldn't have to go in and put in different software that just works with multipool miner.  I shouldn't have to configure algorithms and add them in.  How hard is it to look at the 4 or 5 pools this thing works on and add the algorithms in with each new release?  Further I shouldn't have to go in and disable ccminer so that it will use cc miner alexis, it should bench both and use the best one.

Not trying to be a jerk, but when you have software that you pay for, you expect that you shouldn't have to do all this work to configure.  What happens when  miner changes?  We do this all again?

You can disable entire algorithms (Ethhash for the two coins you mentioned). Right-click your rig, select Edit Profit Profile, uncheck Ethereum, click Ok.

Yes, the version Awesomeminer downloads is broken. You need to get Alexis from elsewhere..best place I found is to extract from the bin directory on multipoolminer or Nemo, then just copy it back to awesomeminer (under %appdata%)

Thanks for the info. Yeah I'm finding I cannot create new or update custom coins via the API which is extremely frustrating and disappointing.

Yes, just add a reference to AwesomeMiner.exe and import required namespaces like "AwesomeMiner.Infrastructure.Contracts.Miner" and "AwesomeMiner.Components.Intelligence.Scripting".
But apart from that it didn't fulfill my expectations because the interface does not contain methods like creating a new pool.

Were you actually able to get that to work? I was not successful.

How do we run the c# scripts? Should we put them in a specific directory to be interpreted by awesome miner or should we develop an executable using those interfaces? If second option, which dll's should we reference?

Ok, I solved it by adding reference to am executable.

Does anyone know why ccminer alexis is showing Gpu0 invalid argument when ccminer 2.2.3 works fine for Nist5?  I'd rather use the alexis version as its much faster.  It works fine in multipool miner.

I REALLY need some way to automatically update custom coins..

Is there a way to setup awesomeminer to exclude some coins from mining on pools with auto switch ? I have a rig with nvidia 1060 x3 and one 970 card, so 970 is kinda sucks with ETH and ETC mining, it gives only 7MH/s instead of 24MH/s but it's good with young ether forks. So now i have to completely disable ethereum algo from mining for this rig because if Ethereum is most profitable coin for now then my rig working on it only with 70MH/s instead of 90MH/s.

So how to disable 2 specific coins for that rig ?

any way to add time to dstm miner i feel like im missing where to put --time

That's odd.  What is your benched hashrate for Ethash vs. Equihash for those 1070s?  I just ran another benchmark for my 1070 rig and I have 21 Mh/s for Ethash, and 412 sols/s on Equihash.  Now, granted, I have my 1070 rig's power limit and underclock tuned for low-wattage Equihash, but there's no way those  numbers would make AM switch to Ethash.

It depends on how you gauge performance and what you want to do with the mined coins. All built in profit switching pools in AM allows you to get paid in several coins in general (except NiceHack), the way profit is calculated is to remove the speculation factor about potential future boom or crash of the coins' prices. They are gauged in how much FIAT/Hashrate or BTC/Hashrate after pulling data from the pool's api or WhatToMine. In your case, having simething like 1070 (which I don't have benchmark readily) probably yield you 30 / 300 MH/s dual Eth/Sia. Putting those figures into WhatToMine and with what MiningPoolHub's offered pools, you are still worse off than mining Equihash at 400 sol/s with current hashrate yield data. Even if you upped DCRI from 30 to 40, say 500MHS Sia and 27MHs Eth....or even 30 MHs Eth...you are still behind ZCL's current pay on MPH. Of course, you can look at other pools and mine accordingly...for example, ETP has best pay and it is using Ethhash thus in theory you can get better result still by dual mining...But MPH don't offer ETP.

Otherwise, assuming you have saved your benchmark results after benchmarking, then by looking at Online Services tab, you see Equihash has way higher $/day...NeoScrypt comes after and Skein (likely DGB that spikes every so often)...that's how AM uses the data returned by pool's API to determine profitabilty.

With AM, if you so want to mine dagger/sia, just disable other algos in the online services and force put in commandline DCRI value (one of them works, either in the miner's or profit profile's individual software CLI options) try fiddle with them and check the command being generated using RMB on the miners.

Or just let AM decide and mine the current most profitable coin (in coin/FIAT  or coin/BTC pairs) and auto exchange everything into Ethereum on MPH essentially same as selling  coins -> FIAT -> ETH

Other than that, like puwaha said, there are even more favourable algos if you say mining X17, Nist5..even Phi1612 currently returns much higher even than Equihash on MPH if you want to explore mining via other Online Services / Pools

I want them mining what is currently most profitable on MPH. Looking at the View Details > Profit Switching tab showed Eth (incld. Blake 2b) as most profitable when it was switched to it. 90% of the time they are doing Equihash / NeoScrypt / Skein from what I've seen over the last couple weeks. Ethereum surged in price recently though and took over during dips in the other algo coins which is why it became most profitable I assume?

Rigs are running 8x1070 GPUs and I'm not sure about your question about correctly benchmarking? It seems relatively straightforward. Tools > Benchmark > Precise benchmark with all Algorithm's selected. Is there something else I need to do?

Looks interesting! But  anyway we need some webhooks implementation in progress customization. I think it's great to have an ability to show some inbound JSON data from 3dparty applications in progress list. It can be power consumtion, for example or external temperature from additional sensors

I think the whole point of using something like AM is that it can automate some of these things for you.  You setup a rule with some trigger... like maybe a rig that hasn't increased it's Accepted rate in X minutes... so that would tend to mean that it's offline, then the action would be a webhook with some POST data to the IOT device that does some action.... like a power off and then power on?  Or if you have an executable file, you can have it run a batch script to run some program like:

devicesoftware.exe -poweroff -IP 192.168.0.X
TIMEOUT /t 5
devicesoftware.exe -poweron -IP 192.168.0.X

I'm just spit-balling some ideas here.
