Nist5 profits are basically driven by Bulwark currently. Btw why are you guys mining Nist5 at Nicehash rather than ahashpool for example? You're just paying high fees and taking Nicehash risk and its dodgy payout policy...
That's a very good question. In my case, I have been mining a single coin, like ZEN, on MPH, which has done very good lately. I have played with auto switching in the past, and also manually switched between coins. But that gets to get real old real quick if you have 10+ rigs and it involves modifying bash scripts and ssh'ing into each rig to force a miner restart.
You would also have to spend time studying the market and know that Bulwark was currently driving the Nist5 profits for example. I don't have time for that, so dipping my toes with NH again has been pretty interesting so far and proving more profitable that I thought it would. It is also not just Nist5, NH sometimes picks a decent coin on other algos. Right now, for example, I have a couple of rigs going at it on lyra2rev2:
The big question on my mind, is how much does NH skim off the top on the profit numbers showing before depositing to local NH wallet at 2%? Withdrawing from local NH wallet to Coinbase has no fee, and is instant, which was one of the reasons I decided to try it out again. I'll need to run for at least a week to know for sure, but right now, even with whatever skimming NH might be doing, I appear to be on track to make 20-30% more than I did on MPH mining ZEN only.
