Hash Auger is fully configurable multi-pool, multi-algorithm profit switching and miner management application for Nvidia GPUs that allows users to easily set algorithm-specific overclock and miner settings per GPU. Users can extensively customize both the pool price calculations and GPU monitoring limits in the UI - without having to edit batch files, config files or deal with unnecessary and overly complicated rules and scripting. Unlike some other applications, the software can be used to mine on a mix of both auto-exchange pools and pools that mine coins directly. Also, Hash Auger uniquely runs each GPU with its own mining process for improved fault-tolerance and tuning opportunities.
With its power management features, Hash Auger calculates the energy consumption of each miner and algorithm per GPU and switch based on profits rather than revenues. Also, Hash Auger supports time of day mining settings per GPU that can be used to suspend mining, adjust power limits and algorithm switching behavior when electricity is more expensive. Hash Auger also allow users to easily re-benchmark specific algorithms and miners without clearing previous hash rate data.
Multiple layers of monitoring check miner processes for crashes and inactivity while also watching GPUs for low utilization, high temperatures and device driver errors. Integrated watchdog processes monitor internet connectivity, pool communication failures and the Hash Auger app itself to reduce downtime. A built-in web service allows remote access to current mining stats, including a mobile-friendly web dashboard.
Starting in version 2.8 of Hash Auger, the evolving API can be accessed by posting JSON objects directly to API url - making the API compatible with most modern programming and scripting languages. Users with multiple mining rigs can enable an integrated proxy server to cache pool API calls starting in version 2.8.3.
Even with all the advanced features, lightweight yet easy-to-use UI, Hash Auger has a low developer contribution of 10 minutes (.07%) a day. Unlike with other programs, all earnings from benchmarking go to the user, not the developer and all features are available in single version of the software. Plus, HA won't bog down your rig with advertising or force you to subscribe before using advanced features.This latest release can be downloaded from

UI Examples:Mining TabEarnings Unpaid Balances GraphAlgorithm and Miner SettingsGPU Hardware SettingsGPU Profitability SettingsKey features:
1.) Completely GUI-based interface with point and click management of mining activities; automatically hides miner windows to keep your desktop unobstructed while still displaying miner output in tabs and, optionally, log files.
2.) Streamlined benchmarking process - each card is benchmarked simultaneously instead of one after another. Unprofitable and obsolete algorithms are disabled by default to reduce benchmarking time. Users can copy benchmarks and other device settings from one device to another and manually adjust benchmarks if they desire. Hash Auger can automatically revise benchmarks with real-world mining results to improve price estimates. Unlike some other software where the developer selects what the perceive to be the "best" miner for each algorithm, Hash Auger identifies the best miner for each GPU based on a combination of benchmarks, real-world performance and any developer fee that the mining software may have. Also, all benchmarking work done online is credited to the user's wallet, not the developer's - which is why some pools must be enabled before benchmarking certain miners. The Benchmark Utility can be used to re-benchmark specific algorithms and mining programs on all or selected GPUs.
3.) Each device mines in its own process to isolate miner errors and to allow each device to run a different algorithm when appropriate. For instance, due to the differences in memory architectures, some algorithms such as Equihash and Neoscrypt do better on 1070's than on 1080's. Depending on pool prices, it can be more profitable to mine a different algorithm on each type of card than mine the same algorithm on all cards.
4.) GPU Manager allows users to easily modify device settings on all or a set of GPUs. Users can save these settings to disk as templates for later use or to copy device settings to different rigs.
5.) Users can change GPU utilization and even disable specific cards, such as their primary graphics card, without affecting other cards. Easily set custom overclock settings and miner intensity levels per algorithm on each GPU to get the most performance and stability. Users with CPU power to spare can enable additional GPU mining settings that can stabilize hash rates in exchange for higher CPU utilization. With version 1.9.4, Hash Auger also supports the ability to define custom starting difficulty and difficulty adjustment percents for each algorithm.
6.) Automatic restart of crashed and frozen miners. Detects pool stratum server communication errors and temporarily suspends pools if too many communication errors occur.
7.) Automatically switches algorithms and pools based on current pool prices, each device's benchmarked hash rates, real-world mining performance data, pool and other fees and other factors. Unlike some other products that only mine pools that auto-exchange, Hash Auger also supports pools that do not auto-exchange and can automatically switch work between both types of pools.
8.) Pool fees are deducted from pool prices when calculating estimated profitability. For some pools such as MiningPoolHub and NiceHash, additional fees such as wallet and auto-exchange fees can also be deducted from the earnings estimates. Users can define custom price and hash rate adjustments for each pool to tune the algorithm switching functionality.
9.) Unpaid balances can be displayed for each pool - including internal NiceHash and MiningPoolHub balances if users enter their API Keys. Blockchain balances can also be displayed on the earnings tab if the user configures the wallet to use the coin's blockchain explorer.
10.) Can display BCH, BTC, ETH and LTC balances in any one of a number of global currencies.
11.) Displays current pool prices along with profitability listings so that users can spot trends that an automatic switching algorithm might miss.
12.) Automatic download of miner executables. Will display warnings if a miner file has been deleted or quarantined by anti-virus software. Includes a config option to automatically re-benchmark upgraded mining files. In version 2.8 and later, Hash Auger will download the appropriate CUDA version of some mining programs based on the installed device drivers.
13.) Can automatically suspend mining on individual GPUs if the current estimated earnings are below an amount set by the user; automatically resumes mining once prices rise above that level. GPUs can also be suspended at certain times of the day to avoid mining when energy costs are higher.
14.) Price Spike Limit can be set to prevent wasting time mining coins with unrealistically high prices.
15.) Advanced pool settings allow users to take advantage of advanced settings that some pools offer, such as the MC Parameter on both Zergpool and Blockmasters that allow users to mine specific coins while still auto-exchanging to BTC or LTC. Similarly, Hash Auger supports dedicated coin ports used by many pools that do not auto-exchange. Additionally, users can configure each pool's pricing to be based on current estimates, recent actual prices or an adjustable mix of both to customize the software to their mining preferences. Users can disable individual algorithms and coins on pools and even define price adjustment percents to prioritize certain items over others.
16.) Easily monitor earnings across multiple pools and wallets. Hash Auger provides easy-to-read charts that display earnings growth for individual pools on each wallet and also show how a wallet's balance is divided among all pools that use that wallet. Earnings can be tracked even when pools are currently disabled for mining. Earnings data is written to disk in portable .xml files so that users can easily import the data into Excel or other applications for further analysis.

I wrote and use Hash Auger to manage my own mining rigs. I have made a sincere effort to thoroughly test the software with the hardware that I have available. However, my testing has been limited to Windows 10 machines running a mix of NVIDIA 1070, 1080 and 1080 Ti cards with the latest NVIDIA drivers. Your results may vary and I would appreciate any feedback.
*** Windows 10 will probably warn you about an unknown publisher when you run the installer; click the More Info link and then Run Anyways to continue with the install. ***
