Imagine my disappointment when I found Litecoin difficulty wasn't actually at 2 (was mining infinitecoin prior).

The app has been rock solid and I absolutely love it. I use it to switch between three coins currently, but when it switches, often the coin name will change correctly on the display, but the previous coin stats (difficulty, price, profitability, etc) will stay the same. It's nothing that impacts anything at all, and it certainly isn't a big deal, but figured I'd mention it.

I use information from the CoinChoose "LTC Profitability" tab for my mining -- is it possible to use MultiMiner to mine with a strategy based on LTC profitability?
I have to say I have never clicked that tab in CoinChoose! That's a cool option. It looks like a very simple switch in their JSON API and I'd be happy to include this in the next update.
Thanks for the feedback and kind words.
Thanks so much for looking into it!

Hmm.. What about making it an optional item, selectable by a menu item in the "Advanced" menu, "Show number of devices." Kind of how you let people choose if they want to see the history/API/Process log?

One interface thing I'd like to see is a number beside each device, so I can be sure all my devices are being detected. I currently have 26 Erupters connected to one machine and it would be nice to see them listed 1-26 so I know they're all mining.
Do they need to be individually numbered or would a total work? At this point I'm trying to preserve the horizontal real-estate where possible as the grid is getting cramped (at lower resolutions).
Just want to make sure I implement the feature in a way that will cover your needs.

Loving 1.2! Smooth as butter!

Otherwise, looks fantastic, great work!

I've played with it a little bit mining for BTC and it seems like a great program...

nice! I like the about dialog 
What prompted you to increment it to 1.2 but still keep the .22 suffix?
What prompted you to increment it to 1.2 but still keep the .22 suffix?
It's pretty common in the MS world. There's a discussion about it here.
I'm using 1 as the major version, 2 as the minor version, and 22 as the build #. The build # is always incremented. It is never reset with the major or minor version. It is the # public builds of the project (this is the 22nd public build).
It can be confusing since the format also fits Semantic Versioning, where the last number would be a patch # and would be reset with the major and minor version.

Thanks so much everyone for your input on the past two prereleases! Version 1.2 is now available here. There's just a few small changes over the last 1.1 prerelease:
You guys rock - keep the feedback coming
- Added an About dialog that displays MultiMiner, cgminer, and bfgminer versions and MultiMiner licensing
- A dialog is now used (instead of a menu) when adding a coin configuration, improving compatibility with *nix and OS X
- Small adjustments to the colors and layouts used throughout the app (for consistency)
- Fixed a couple of small UI issues (alignment & anchoring)
You guys rock - keep the feedback coming

no - this was the first thing I have tried, but no go..
This will be fixed for 1.2 (due soon). I switched out the menu for a dialog with a combo. Probably a better UI experience on Windows too.

I'll keep looking into possible resolutions. I haven't found anything yet. This appears to be a 3+ year old bug in Mono:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607548
I'd personally prefer the menu wrap instead of scroll, but again haven't been able to find a way (yet) to accomplish that with the stock WinForms menus.

If you start typing the beginning of a coin name or use the arrows does it help at all? If not I'll look to see if there's some way to handle that. Mono applications have little quirks like this under a non-Windows OS, but I'd be happy to try to fix it for you if you cannot select the coins by typing.

in Ubuntu LTS in the menu add coin the dropdown menu goes only to Mincoin and the other coins are not to see and not selectable because end of the screen and scrolling is not availlable...

The new update feature has been awesome. It no longer takes as long to update all of my rigs. Love it!
August 26, 2013, 07:06:53 PM
I like the auto update feature!
One question, how do I check which version of MultiMiner is installed? And what about checking the version of the miner? I'm just not sure if the updates worked correctly, I'd like to see some info like this.
Maybe something for 1.1.22?
Great work, as always!

Good idea. I've been thinking about showing versions in there somewhere. Probably about time for an About dialog.
For now, you can right-click any of the MultiMiner executables or DLLs and go to Properties, then Details to see the version. For the miners you actually have to run them with --version to see what is installed. Or check their NEWS.txt.

Well I have reinstalled the serial driver and moved over to BFGminer and its working fine now.

If you find some reason you have to go back to cgminer, I would personally post something in the cgminer forum thread along the lines of:

I am typing this at the command line to enumerate devices:
It shows devices with indexes 0 - 5:
I then launch cgminer from the command line with:
Then, I launch another instance to use the remaining 4 devices:
When I do that, I get this output from cgminer:
And this all works as expected with bfgminer.
Code:
cgminer -d?
It shows devices with indexes 0 - 5:

And this all works as expected with bfgminer.
(replace the above commands and output with your own)
