Single coin statistics from WhatToMine is now supported, and will be default for all new installations. WhatToMine is a great service with a coin API that can be used for free.
For a single coin (Litecoin for example), there are now four ways to use the coin statistics:
- Use the coin statistics directly from the coin service (like WhatToMine)
- Manually define coin properties like difficulty, reward in and value in either BTC or USD
- Specify a custom profitability in BTC/MH/day, that is commonly used by multi pools for specifying profitability
- Specify a profitability factor that will be multiplied with the calculated profit based on information from the coin service. Specify 1.15 to increase the calculated profit of a coin with 15%. This can be used to favor a specific coin in the profit switcher.
For each of the supported profit switching multi pools, a custom profitability factor can also be specified in the latest release. The profitability factor is multiplied with the reported real-time profitability of the pool, and can be used to give either higher or lower priority to specific multi pools. These settings are available in the Options dialog, Online Services section, of Awesome Miner.
The latest release also adds support for the Lyra2RE algorithm.
Supported multi-pools and algorithms for automatic profit switching
- NiceHash (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, SHA-3 (Keccak), X11, X13, X15, Nist5, Neoscrypt, Lyra2RE)
- WestHash (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, SHA-3 (Keccak), X11, X13, X15, Nist5, Neoscrypt, Lyra2RE)
- LTCRabbit (Scrypt, X11)
- Yaamp (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, X11, X13, X15, Neoscrypt, Lyra2RE)
- Hamsterpool (Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, X11)
The pool TradeMyBit has closed down and has been removed from the list of supported multi pools.
Please remember that Awesome Profit Switching works great for both GPU mining and standalone ASIC's, and up to 200 miners can be managed from a single interface. It's especially useful for Scrypt ASIC's (like KnC Titan), where you can get much higher profits by automatically selecting the most profitable pool.
