When using Sniffdog miner (CPU only), it would constantly say Yescrypt is the most profitable by a huge margin. However, using the batch file method of mining, it would always mine m7m instead. Basically the pool/site is saying m7m is more profitable. If you look at the pool status table, it does indeed list m7m on top of Yescrypt.
So who's right? And why the discrepancy?
PS: I only have m7m and yescrypt in the password, no other algos. (-p c=BTC, yescrypt, m7m)
I'm guessing Sniffdog is actually taking your hash rates into account. Whereas your .bat file isn't. You should change your password to reflect your hash rates. Also, don't use spaces in your password.
-p c=BTC,m7m=X,yescrypt=Y
Where X is your m7m hash rate in MH/s, and Y is your yescrypt hash rate in kH/s.
See the bottom of
http://www.zpool.ca/site/multialgo for a concrete example.
Yeah, I read about the profitability factors, but I didn't know what denominations they were using. I though both were in kH/s since cpuminer would report both as kH/s. Then I once though they both were in MH/s, since both are reported MH/s on zpool's pool status table.
We need something to let us know which algo is using which metric.
Even a simple line like the Pool Status chart: * values in mBTC/MH/day, per PH for sha256 & GH for scrypt, blake, decred, x11, quark, qubit, kS for equihash
