Id suggest either lyra2v2 or skein. Some people are very heavy on recommending ZEC/equihash, but I personally see more profits with the others.
I have a few batch files linked in my sig for mining on zpool. all payouts will be in BTC no matter what you mine; or in the altcoin of your choice that the pool also mines. Just add or remove the algos you do not wish to run; or leave all enabled.
Links to all the miners I use are also in the same post, or linked via the original post through there.
Thank you very much, yes I've been running nheqminer overnight to test it and it wasn't very impressive. I'll give your batch a try and post the results here.
Sounds good. Just remember, some altcoins like those in lyra2 are long-confirm, etc... or high diff, thus you will see periods of small gains then big jumps... But if you want to just run one algo, you can use something like this:
:start
ccminer.exe -a skein -i 26 -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP -p i7-920-GPU,c=BTC,skein,stats
goto start
Very simple; effective. I have added a good intensity to run the 10 series cards with.... default intensity was 20. A 1070 goes from 360Mh to over 400Mh.
If you want a different algo; be sure to change all the algo names in the batch example above, be sure to update the port as well. You can remove or change the first part of the password field (just an identifier) and be sure to select the coin you are getting paid out with as I have (BTC).
If you read the zpool.ca main page, it explains all of this, but seeing the launch string, makes it much more understandable to the beginners.
Personally, I haven't used my auto profit switching in the past many many months; Just been sticking with one algo; Id rather take the lions share of the payout on chance, than only try and earn when the pool luck has struck causing the profitability figure to rise.... I see more "good profit" days this way... At least I think I do.
