Any reviews or comments from people regularly using this new program? 

I have mostly focused on alt coins that seem interesting to me but when I started back in 2014 my strategy was more focused on the current most profitable coin.  I think both strategies have their merits and I'm interested in projects like this one that aim to shift mining to profitable coins. 

It would be good if we could see comparable metrics between this program and others for how well they perform.  I know that was a big thing back in 2014 with various websites and posts on bitcointalk reporting on what was the most profitable rather that be mixed mining or targeted.

While I'm no expert and have only been mining a couple months, on both individual coins and algoswitching programs such as this...I can offer my perspective.

I have tried (for algo-profit switching):
AwesomeMiner
Hash Augur
Nemos/NPlus
and now just started trying MindMiner two days ago.

I think they are all going to be generally pretty comparable at the end of the day (from a profit perspective). While I don't have stats for you as to which one might switch more profitably (this would be super hard/time consuming to do as the only accurate way to do it is to divide your rig into pieces and then flip pools etc. etc.), I think they would all end up within a small margin of eachother.  Some have pros over others, and some have larger cons than others. At the end of the day, I think it's best to try them all and settle on the ones you feel comfortable with and, most importantly, provide the following:
a) general ease of use and ability to tweak to your liking. More ability to tweak does not necessarily mean better.
b) the pool offerings you want
c) whether you also want the ability to mine individual coins and have them paid out to your wallet (Hash Augur does this, AM too I believe).
d) the fee they charge. AM is a flat rate (depending on what features you want), HA is 1.38888% (repeating, of course), MM is 1%, Nemos is 0.5%ish).
e) (this is a big one) how responsive are the devs to user concerns/errors/etc. and in conjunction, how often do they update their software for that and new miners, tweaks, etc.  MM and HA are very fast/good about this.
f) whether you need a dedicated GUI. MM does not have this, whereas the others do. This does not necessarily make MM any better or worse than others, just pointing out.  If you're comfortable with making tweaks (a) via the config files, then it's not really a big thing (as long as you don't change things often).

My suggestion is try them all for a couple days at a time and see how it goes. Chances are by the end you'll know which one you want to stick with. I am just beginning tests on MM (but am admittedly being limited by an issue I posted on above that MM is fixing) to see how I rank MM amongst the others, but right now it seems promising, but does lack certain capabilities that would be nice to see eventually (being able to mine individual coins on certain pools like Pickaxe etc. if mining the individual coin is more profitable than a switcheroo pool site being one, and an easier way to make tweaks in one consolidated place another).

As for pools, I personally like Blazepool. US based, never downtime, and coins are being added all the time.

Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but is there a way to add a "cooldown" period before switching coins? I have 1080ti's and they are finicky...when benchmarking or (sometimes) when changing quickly from one algo to another, some of my cards will glitch and lose contact/stop mining and only a hard reset of my computer will correct it.

It's not your software's fault at all that is causing it, but having the ability to introduce a 10 second switching period or whatever (similar to how other miners do it but honestly not sure how much time they add in) to limit quickswitches would be helpful.

When you say to use nicehash+ahashpool, do you mean ahash pays better or the profit is not overestimated as zergpool?
Are, according to my previous doubts, nicehash+ahashpool compatible?
I implied what zergpool has overestimated profit answer in api.
I recomended use both nice and ahash together.
Now i add fix for zergpool. But right now its not work by technical reasons.
You may use any pools at any combination.

I would like to mine both nicehash and zergpool and I know it's possible. My question is: since payout and profit calculations are quite different between these two, with your experience, is the simultaneous mining possible? Can you software compensate for zergpool's overestimated profit calculation comparing with nicehash?

Also, if possible, there should exist the possibility to add a specific wallet to nicehash.
I added support for internal nicehash wallet ("Wallet" param in nicehash config).
I'll add in next version support of overestimated profit the zergpool.
I recomendet enable nice & ahash pools.

Nemo, you must press fork button on github, for sign sources. Its unknown sources for me, now.

The thing is - nplus miner doesnt trigger Windows defender, your miner does, and does it regularly. Nicehash miner also doesnt trigger it. What's your explanation to this?
Good.  What is blocked? Please write name of folders.
