I found a bug.
Network miners are not getting the names from other instances of MM so you are ending up with multiples of them showing up in MobileMiner and RemoteMiner.

Tried the new version but if I select 'no' to 'disable mine most profitable coin' after switching coins it instantly swaps back to the coin it was just mining. If I select 'yes' the switch remains but I have to go back in and manually enable 'mine most profitable coin' 
Ah thanks - thinking it through that makes sense. Since Auto-Mining is enabled, once it restarts mining it just swaps back. I'll fix it up - thanks for reporting!
Can you try the latest build? It should resolve this issue with Quick Switch and Auto-Mining.

If you have time to confirm that would be awesome. Release is scheduled for tomorrow.

Just a quick note to say that I've moved MobileMiner discussion to a separate thread instead of hijacking this one for both topics:

Please add "current pool difficulty" column, 
Hi Nate, maybe will do this 
I'm using sgminer and Karloth cgminer in MM, and they allow add this function 
Double-click a device to see the difficulty on the right-hand-side.

Please consider changing version numbers on your builds. I know you're changing a lot of stuff really fast, but it's hard to tell if I have the newest version anymore. Like 3.00.00 alpha2 or something.
The build is updated for each one. You can check the build number on the EXEs and DLLs in the file properties. Current build is 212 or something like that. This sort of thing is also just temporary when working on pre-releases of major updates.

Sure I'll take a look. I didn't know SGMiner supported anything but Scrypt and GPUs.
Edit: Meh. This is why I didn't want to get into supporting various miners. Is this right? SGMiner supports Scrypt and Scrypt-N, but SPH-SGMiner (the "multi-algorithm SGMiner") doesn't support Scrypt-N? This is going to be fun
Good to see you're supporting SGminer now, I was hoping that would be the case at some point, as BFGminer wasn't cutting it for me.

The newest version of MM you just posted seems to have partially remedied this problem.
The default install of SPHSGMINER still does not work (it just sits there after I click start. Trying to launch it from the process window results in sgminer crashing). However, when I drop in my version it'll initially connect to drkpool (which is my last stratum) and after about three minutes it'll eventually end back up on suchpool.pw (my normal stratum).
When launching SPHSGMINER with my bat file it'll end up immediately on suchpool and wont end up on drkpool. I know suchpool seems to be having stratum issues off and on, but the behavior between MM and my normal bat file should be identical as the settings are identical and I'm using the same exact version of SPHSGMINER.

x11 still isn't working, it keeps erroring out on the pools. When manually launching through the API window it has connection problems, but does connect after a few retries. Running SPHSGMINER by itself doesn't have these problems.
Try overwriting SPH-SGMiner in the Miners folder with your working copy. I'm able to mine X11 as are others in the thread so it sounds like there is some difference with your system.

Very nice work on this software. I love it and use it all day every day. Thank you for actually being one of those rare guys who support windows phone also. MultiMiner is the best mining software hands down.
Thank you very much for your kind words - it honestly means a lot.

Another feature is ready for 3.0. It's minor, and definitely a "why didn't I think of that before??", but it's still pretty cool.
Until now all Network Devices were assumed to be mining BTC, which is becoming less and less of a safe assumption.
Now, MultiMiner will check the pool that each Network Device is mining to and compare it will the list of coins and pools configured in MultiMiner. If it finds a match, MultiMiner will use that coin and profitability information instead.
This gives a much more accurate view of Network Devices, especially if you are using ASICs to mine Scrypt.

One of the biggest issues that still remains with this software is the API. Due to the costs and restraints on how many times you can check for the most profitable coin I find myself sometimes manually selecting 'coin switch' and selecting another coin which then unchecks 'mine most profitable coin' which I then have to go back in and turn on. Any chance you can change this so it doesnt remove the base setting or prompts me as to whether I want to make this a permanent or temporary change ?
Thanks, I'll look at adding a prompt if you are Auto-Mining and then Quick Switch.
Also, still waiting on the ability to be able to click start date/time under the history tab so the most recently mined coins are at the top, rather than having to scroll to the bottom everytime I want to check (or just put the recent at the top by default?). The more you can remove micro-management from this software the more appealing it will be imo. Not had any crashes for some time which is great.
I looked into it and I doubt I'll change the sort order any time soon (without getting into the specifics). Unfortunately it's just more trouble than it's worth on a technical level right now. I know it seems simple! But I have limited time to work on things.
That said, those 3 lists will automatically scroll to show new information (History, Process Log, API Monitor), so there shouldn't be any micro-management. However, there is a bug where the History view doesn't scroll to the bottom after starting the program. I'll look at fixing that for 3.0. Hopefully that streamlines things.

Got everything set up and working, but MultiMiner isn't detecting my Pi. I run a 192.168.1.x network. Here's my config.
MulltiMiner is still detecting my AntMiner S1s on the same network.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer --set-device gridseed:clock=825 -S all --queue 10 --device gsd --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --scrypt --api-description Gridseed --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.0/24 -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
sleep 10
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer --set-device gridseed:clock=825 -S all --queue 10 --device gsd --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --scrypt --api-description Gridseed --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.0/24 -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
MulltiMiner is still detecting my AntMiner S1s on the same network.
If MultiMiner still isn't finding it you can use the following utility to troubleshoot:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4v0ri2ax39stgax/MultiMiner.Xgminer.Api.Client.7z
This is a simple console RPC API client. Run it on the same machine as MultiMiner, passing in the port and IP of the mining machine:
Code:
MultiMiner.Xgminer.Api.Client.exe 4028 192.168.0.100
Where 192.168.0.100 is the miner. After it has launched, try typing "version" or "devs" without the quotes. That should return information from the miner if things are setup properly.
Finally, try restarting MultiMiner. It only scans the network every 10 minutes but if you restart it will scan right away.
Version and Devs both return the right information. I was running it on my Pi, but for some reason got a lot of HW errors (10%) at 850 clock. Currently running it locally on the same computer as MuM. Neither one detected. Going to retry the Pi again today with StarMiner (was using MinePeon).

EDIT: After restarting the app twice all seems to work smoothly now. I hope coin switching also works perfectly when profitability changes.
A BIG thank you to nwoolls for all the hard work he puts in developing and maintaining MM.
Good to know about the latest development in v3.0.0 of MM. I was easily able to set the app to mine x11 algo coins with sph-sgminer v4.1.0, however no profitability check/coin-switching seems to work now (except for scrypt and sha-256 algo). I set the app to check coin profitability API with interval of 5 minutes but still, nothing changed. However as expected, at coinwarz profitability data changed. Plus can't the app suggest different algo coins to mine based on profitability, like it works for scrypt and sha-256 algo?
Thanks
