Hello, I have a question about setting up multiminer. I'm using multipool.us so it'll automatically mine the best coin based on profitability. But are these two factors redundant? I like the way multiminer is setup and how user-friendly its interface is but while setting up the coin configuration I'm not sure which coin to choose. Does the coin I choose have any influence over what is actually being mined and are the statistics multiminer starts to give me accurate? Is there a Multi-Coin option in multiminer and a way for the program to display the statistics multipool.us is giving me? I'm very new to this so any help would be appreciated
I was interested in doing something similar, but I'm not sure if it's entirely possible with the software. What I ended up doing was defining "litecoin" to point to hashco.ws, which is kind of similar to what you want to do.
Now I believe this means that if you want your miner to always point to multipool, that you can't have auto-switch strategies enabled. Perhaps an awesome addition for a newer version of the software would be to allow activation of coin switching for specific miners: for example, if you want your GPU to always point to hashco.ws, but you want your asics to jump around to mining the best 256 coin.
Totally a hypothetical situation, and not at all what I would personally do. >_> currently I'm single-mining hashco.ws and peercoin so that my gpu always points to hashco.ws.
EDIT: Also, for multipool, you could point to any of their individual pools instead of the multipool, and use multiminer to do the switching on your behalf. That being said, I wouldn't recommend it: multipool is a PPLNS pool, so pool hopping that doesn't mirror the website's hopping would end you up with a lot of wasted shares.
just a warning if this is a really basic question, thanks in advance
