And no ability to (de)select algos?
Why do you even include Blake and other ASIC-algos on GPU mining software?
Each algorithm has to be tested at least 5 minutes in order to get an accurate result.
None of the algorithms is ASIC based. The algorithm blake2s (perfectly minable with NVIDIA) and not blake.
So it's either more algorithms (=more profit) or short benchmarking time. What would you chose?
The ability to exclude algorithms will probably included in a new version.
Even though an algo may not be ASIC "based" there are several supported in this miner that are mined by ASIC and widely acknowledged of being ASIC algorithms.
However, sometimes there are new coins that on algos like Skein that may still be worth mining even though there is an ASIC/FPGA for it because some of the new coins haven't been hit by the ASIC/FPGA yet.
So, I agree with the dev to have these algos in the product. Even if their use may be more limited once FPGA/ASIC network hash domination sets in.
