Hey Patrike,
The issue I'm having is that with the current Awesome Miner setup, EQUI144_5, ZEL, and EQUI192_7 do not get the --pers parameter added to the generated comandline, (and - for people who are reading along - for those algo's --pers is required, not optional), and I don't know how to setup AM so that it will add it along with the correct argument whilst using profit switching.
I don't even know if it is an AM issue, an EBKAC issue, or a combination of both, (which in itself is an EBKAC issue
), and my google-fu is poo, so I posted the steps I took to find out why I couldn't benchmark those algo's through AM in the hope that someone would point me in the right direction.
Have fun! =8^)
In the Properties of your Pool in Awesome Miner, where you specify URL and worker name, you will also find the field "Personalization string". If you fill in "BgoldPoW" here, Awesome Miner will add "--pers BgoldPoW" when you start lolMiner.
If this doesn't work, can you please send me a few screenshots? Thanks!
At the moment, I am only using the default pre-defined pools in AM.
I just added custom pools for both BCGold, and Zclassic, setting MiningPoolHub as the target pool.
Created a pool group with those two custom pools.
I set the personalization string for Zclassic to ZcashPoW, (found the pers strings at
https://forum.bitcoingold.org/t/list-of-equihash-coins-by-implementation-parameters/1929 ).
Disabled all pre-defined pool sites in Options -> Managed Profit Switching (ZPool, MPH, etc).
Selected Add additional pools to Managed Profit Switching, and added my created pool group.
Attempted to benchmark using the Enabled Managed Profit Switching pools option, and saw that Equihash Zero (192.7), and ZHash (Equihash 144.5) with lolMiner as the mining software was available, and they benchmarked fine.
If I re-enable the default pre-defined pools in Options -> Managed Profit Switching and attempt to benchmark Equihash Zero, AM uses the address equihash144.sea.mine.zpool.ca:2192, and doesn't use the --pers parameter. As a side note, the address should be equihash192.sea.mine.zpool.ca:2192 (copy - paste - forget to edit is too easy to do, unfortunately).
So, currently, if I want to use lolMiner alongside the rest of the mining software that AM controls, it appears that I would have to make a custom pool for each coin on each pre-defined pool, group those custom pools, then disable all the default pre-defined pools. It's a bit of work, but it's do-able
Have fun! =8^)
