Fix for zpool keccak change

Add
                                    "keccak"{$Divisor *= 1000}

under
switch ($Zpool_Algo){
in /Pools/Zpool.ps1

Hello everobody and also respectful Tutulfo.

Enjoying very much of your product since beginning of December. Just curious to ask, how to solve an issue when:

- I have started in automatic mode some pools, let's say Ahash, Hash, Zpool and Unimining, and somehow in one hour, one pool's connection (API) is lost by pool's reason, and in that period when Megaminer updating their data (via preditermined interval), it sensed that no API data receiving and missed this pool.

- After that when pool come back again in life, in next updating, Megaminer is not sensing that pool is now alive, and continue working with the rest ones.

My concern how to solve that issue, allow Megaminer checking that all pools constantly, even one was lost and after some time come back again.

Now, what I am doing is just restarting Megaminer when see that one pool is missing.

Appreciate your kind reply. 

You can disable the pop up from within windows

Try master branch code, I have changed miner stop mechanism to more agresive one. (Read changelog)

Thanks for all your hard work!  I'm happy to donate to this as this saves me a great deal of time.  Only issue I have is sometimes ccminer crashes when Megaminer closes it and results in a dialog box for me to close.  Unfortunately Megaminer will not time out (watchdog?) so it will stand still until you click the box.  Its caused me numerous nights of no work being done because of this.  If possible, can you make sure ALL the process windows ** AND ** resulting dialogs are closed before switching algorithms.  Thx.

P.S.  I'm a coder, just not Powershell. 

1. Config.txt explanation for  @@GPU is wrong in current release, is fixed in master branch now, GPUplatform atribute must not exist on groups definitions, now is automatically calculated.

2. Added

3. Other way is change yiimp.ps1 file to ignore that pool

4. -w128 was included, others added now.

5. Reported hours ago in Github, Fixed this morning in master branch

6. The only one I found is an old Cryptomining blog release, It dont works for me.

Thx a lot

From the zpool Twitter

Thanks, that's what I thought after I posted and looked, but wanted to confirm.

That Miner works with 12 gpus out of MegaMiner?

Pretty sure you want to edit Zpool.ps1, go to about line 89 and add:

Anywhere I can edit how the API for zpool is interpreted? It appears a couple of hours ago, they switched profitability reporting on Keccak from BTC/MH/day to BTC/GH/day. I was wondering why my miners had switched to Keccak overnight and my balance graph went flat.

Here's the tweet about it.  https://twitter.com/_zpool_/status/942398598557388800

was playing around with couple amd rigs , things i had to tinker with (all of them win10 x64 , august blockhain drv. , mix match of 480, 570 cards)
 
1. GPUGROUPS variable , had to change , line 220 , include.ps1 $_ | Add-Member GpuPlatform (Get-Gpu-Platform $_.Type) -Force

had to add parameter -Force , to be able overwrite group name , since it was already created while i was tinkering.

2. had to add -I 18 to be able to run A-SgminerXevan.json

3. manually had to change dualmining pool to suprnova DCR in A-ClayDual.json , since Yiimp is permanently loaded and rejects all DCR connections.
"Arguments" : "-epool #SERVER#:#PORT# -ewal #LOGIN# -epsw #PASSWORD# -esm #ETHSTMODE# -allpools 1 -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal myusername.amd1 -dpsw x -wd 1 -di #DEVICESCLAYMODE# -mport #APIPORT# -platform 1 #ALGORITHMPARAMETERS#"

4. Had to add to A-nsgminer.json additional parameters to be able to run it -w 128 -g 1 -I 18 to be able to run it

5. In A-CastXMR had to change --device with -G , otherwise only 1st gpu was used

6. Could you please add sgminer for x17 (verge)

p.s. forgot to mention , was running with following settings:

-MiningMode Automatic -PoolsName YIIMP,Mining_pool_hub,NANOPOOL -Coinsname DECRED,BITCORE,BITCOINGOLD,CHAINCOIN,DIGIBYTE,ETHEREUM,EXPANSE,ELECTRONEUM,ETHEREUMCLASIC,HUSH,LBRY,MONACOIN,ZENCASH,ZCASH,ZCOIN,
ZCLASSIC,KOMODO,MONERO,UBIQ,SIA,GROESTLCOIN,HSHARE,VERTCOIN,GOBYTE,FEATHERCOIN,LUXCOIN,DIGIBYTE,VERGE,BITSEND

Just put add them at the bottom using the format above

where do i put my sprnova and mining pool hub api?

https://pasteboard.co/GYBiHL7.png

To expand, if i only use hash refinery it works. However if there are more than two pools i get this after a while

After the error, hash refinery doesn't return. Is megaminer dropping a pool if there is a failed connection? Would it try to contact the pool again?

edit: Oh found this in the log too

Delete stat file for 1070_Tribus, sometimes miners returns extremely high results, this is reason miners cant be benchmarked while running.


Not all pools works at coin level, most works algo level (coin column empty)

See an oddity - the status screen shows:

1070        7.9 gh/s 0.22452 4,224.01 TRIBUS         N-CcminerTpruvot H.RFRY US       98

But the single 1070 card I have didn't bench at gh/s. Also the coin columns are blank.

yup at the start. I had to manually set hash_refinery on its own for the benchmark to run too
