Go to online services and looking for your pool,click edit and add the pers string ^^

Hey Sxemini

Whilst adding the personalization string to custom pools is easy enough, (and works fine), I haven't found a satisfactory way of adding it to the default preset profit switching pools.

So, the question is, "How do I add the correct personalization strings to the preset profit switching pools?"

Also, see my previous reply to Patrike, where I describe a problem that occurs when I try using the preset pools in conjunction with my custom pools.

Have fun!  =8^)

Is this only a profitswitching problem? Because i have no problems mining 192_7, 144_5 or beamhashIII with lolminer
You must set the --pers string in the pool config.



Yes patrike this is working.

Hey Lolliedieb

I tried using --pers AUTO, at the comandline, but lolMiner returns the following error...

Ok, just thought I'd try something stupid, and added four underscores in front of the AUTO argument, and it worked - although with 100% rejection rate.

Have fun!  =8^)

Hey Patrike,


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^)

Not sure here, too what happens in AM, but there are two ways of using this algos.
Either --algo or --coin. If you still can use --coin you can use --coin ZEL to configure ZelHash + right personalization and --coin AUTO144_5 for --algo  EQUI144_5 with --pers AUTO (aka pool selection).
If --pers is not passed forwards that seems to be an issue with awesome miner / a bit too tight template / not giving the opportunity to add custom parameters outside of their template. If so that will be interesting for the next algos I am adding, because they will add quite a lot custom params  Not mentioning yet which it will be 

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!

Thanks for the clarification.

Awesome Miner recently moved from using --coin to use --algo instead. I like the new concept with algorithms instead of coins so thanks for implementing it!

Some other mining software supports "--pers auto" for Nicehash and similar profit switching pools. Is there a similar concept with lolMiner without having to use the older --coin concept? Thanks!

Please go to the Options dialog, Balance section, Wallet balance. If you edit your Litecoin entry (or the one with a failure), select the first address in the list and click the Test button - is that working? Then move on to select the next and Test it. Are all working here?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, this is a feature request I get from time to time and it will probably be something for the future. I agree that it would make sense to have.

Just to confirm, the coin is always visible but sometimes the statistics shows all zeros or similar? If that's the case, it doesn't sound like a problem in Awesome Miner itself. This coin isn't part of the main listing at the provider, and the reason might be because of this instability.

Hey Lolliedieb,


Thanks for clarifying the lolMiner configuration side of things

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^)

Jumping in here.

Just to clarify the curiosity about lolMiner configuration:

Pre 1.0 lolMiner had only one parameter to configure the algorithm - this was --coin and did all the needed stuff in one command: selecting right algo + right personalization plus right stratum.
Issue some users of mine had was when a new coin was added with the same algo or one project changed the personalization parameter. Then the shortcut was not right.

Therefore lolMiner 1.0 and newer added a new parameter --algo (or short -a) that can select the algorithm, while --pers takes the personalization for Equihash based algos. So one old parameter was replaced by two new, but its now cleaner separated and when new projects with same PoW come along they should work out of the box.
--coin is still present in lolMiner 1.0 and up, but only for special functions like algorithm switchers and some often used presets. The standard way for future use and additions should be using --algo and maybe - for Equihash - --pers. It might be that some algos in future will be added that need a 3rd parameter to select the right stratum, but that did not happen yet.

I have the feeling that --algo + --pers is much closer to what other miners do and so hope using this pattern clears most of the configuration confusion. 

PM sent. Two actually.
Thanks!

Try this:
Go to the "Options" and then "GPU Clocking Profiles".
1) Create Clocking Profiles for your cards. For example 1 profile for the 6GB and 1 profile for the 3GB. If you need more profiles, because of much different settings, just do it.
2) Now create a Clocking Profile Group. On the right side under "Properties" select your Clocking Profile from 1). Then select the matching rule, best here is the "GPU ID" or even better the "GPU PCI Bus ID". The ID's you can get inside the GPU-Tab at the bottom of AM. Add as many profiles to that Group as you need.
Now you have the choice. If you want that profile loaded whenever that group starts, right click, select "Properties", select "GPU Clocking Profiles" and select your Group-Profile from 1).
If you want to start or stop that profile on different miners, like start when you mine ETH, but dont start when you mine another coin, than right click, select "Edit Profit Profile", click your algorithm and edit the "GPU Clocking Profile" section below with your Group-Profile from 1).

Repeat 2) for your second group of cards, and so on.

If you need more help with the Clocking Profiles, wait for Patrik and/or read the help-guide.

Hey GKumaran,


Unfortunately, I have no idea what coins to mine, which is why I left it to autoselect. Even if I did know what coin to mine, I don't know how to add the string to the generated commandline.

ZHash currently works because the string BgoldPoW is used as the argument to the --pers parameter, whereas there is no --pers parameter included in the generated commandlines for the other algos. I do know that the string must be eight characters long, but how to automatically select which string to insert, (according to the profit switching mechanism), and how to insert it is beyond me.

As for future compatability, using --coin AUTO?? works with the profit switching mechanism now, (well, in a limited fashion, anyways), and will continue to work into the future, (well, it will unles the miner dev decides to kill them).

Have fun! =8^)

Hey everyone.

I am having an issue with GPU clocking.

I have 3 6gb cards and 1 mining 3gb card in one machine. (not ideal, but it is what it is for now.)
my problem is with clocking the GPU's differently.

i have the 3 6gb gpu's as one miner and the 3gb as another. i have the miner set to only use those gpus for that miner.
however, when one of the miners need to change clocking for the algo, it changes it on all gpus. even the gpu that's not set to be controlled by that miner.

is there something i'm missing?

i can set them manually and they mine and work fine. but when the 6gb gpus mine ETH, and the memclock is increased, so is the 3gb gpu that can't and isn't able to mine eth.. even though it's not added to that miner.


i have the 3gb gpu on a seperate profit profile too.

thanks for any help.

Hey lolminer has since version 1.0 updated the parameters.
The --coin is also supported, but the newer algos are all using --algo.
Like you said Equihash 144/5, Equihash 192/7, need --algo and --pers. The '--pers' is a string from the coin dev, not the miner dev, you can get the --pers based on the coin you want to mine.

Its better to use this method to ensure future compatibity.

Thanks in Version 8.0.1, teamredminer-v0.7.10 is working

No, on my balance all good. have many coins with 4 or more addresses, and all fine.

Patrike,
is it possible to add a graphical coin price and difficulty change for 24h, 7 days and 30 days? i think it could be a nice feature.
