Topic: [NemosMiner] multi algo profit switching NVIDIA/CPU miner - page 80. (Read 289464 times)

Take your time, it is a good tool, and many thanks for sharing out again.

What you mean by nothing succeeded? No data?
Try manually run the two PHP files first, and see if there is any data populated.
If no, maybe there is some restriction on the free hosting, need to debug (which need some technical skills).

I can help you to host if you want, just provide your BTC address and pool name via PM.

1. Don't run as admin, run as admin will force the CMD in path of system32, therefore you will hit error.
2. If I'm not wrong, the default password of MPH for each worker is X.

Supposed to be I grant you, but here you are relying on AM, and the Pool stats.
Both of which can and have been woefully wrong many times.
From simply not updating the AM software, or a glitch, or api not refreshing I could go on...


Simplify things, just take the pool stats directly, check them against what you are getting in your wallet - job done.

Thanks for taking the time to write a complete response; I'll try not to punish you unduly for doing so!  

So the one thing I am going to totally disagree with you is that telling someone, "the answer is in the thread - go read it," is totally unrealistic when the thread is 100+ pages long. Granted, some questions really are stupid and don't deserve a better response, but if the question is about how the program/script/batch file works and it wasn't addressed in the very first post then it's not the noob being lazy here, it's the OP.



Upon further consideration, that might be because I right-clicked on the batch file and ran it as administrator so it wasn't starting in the current directory.


See first paragraph; if the instructions aren't in the first post - or, at least, the first page of posts - then don't expect them to be followed/known.


Gotcha. I knew it benchmarked at some point because the results are displayed in the main shell window, I just didn't know when/how it did it.


I understood the -ActiveMinerGainPct switch and changed it to 5% for the very reason you explained, but the -interval switch was a real mystery; I wasn't even sure what the units were - milliseconds, seconds, minutes? Now that you've explained it I think I'll change it to 300 seconds because 30 seconds is barely enough time for most miners to get up to speed.


Oh, I wasn't running out of space... yet... but if there is not a way to specify the maximum size of a log file and/or it is not overwritten each startup then it will consume all the free space on the drive, eventually.

If you set Statistics '24 hr avg' in AM yes the ONLINE SERVICES tab is displaying 'actual 24 hour avg profit data' as retrieved directly from each pool via their API.

I've been using nemos and following this thread for a while now so my recall of the initial learning curve and what's been said where is a bit hazy…

I agree out of date and/or minimal documentation is an irritating aspect of a lot of mining software. At least this thread is a relatively manageable size and has a good signal to noise ratio compared to wading through with something like claymore's thread.

Fwiw…

1) I've have always been able to run from any folder without hardcoding a path so not sure why you had to do this.

2) From memory mph was added later and the password requirement was probably mentioned in the thread at that time without updating the first post.

3) Benchmarks run when no file for the algo/miner exists in the stats folder. Selected algos will be benchmarked on their first run and this is done by actively mining it on the pool and recording the hashrate. After that a benchmark will only run if you enable a new algo, a new miner gets installed or you've deleted one/all of the files e.g. to force a new benchmark when changing a card or tweaking overclocks etc.

4) The -interval switch is how often the pools are checked for the best algo then the -ActiveMinerGainPct switch means it will only switch to that algo if it is earning more than x% more than the current one. This is a great new feature when the top 2 algos are only a few cents apart to stop the miner flip flopping between them every time they swapped place for little/no extra reward. In fact less because of the shares lost in switching and getting back up to speed.

What's going on with your log files?! I checked a few rigs and the largest size I can find is <10MB. You've got bigger targets to save space than nemosminer logs if that's all the free space you have on the drive. I highly recommend a 64gb cheapo ssd + win10 litewinos 'distro' (from memory ~10gb installed) = plenty of free space even with a 32gb pagefile.

Host it on your own pc using Wamp maybe?

I wouldn't call a screenshot of Awesomeminers coin stats "Actual" profit data mate.

When I used AM, I found many discrepancies and only BTC in my wallet data is the metric I use for anything I would label "Actual"

I run identical rigs in parallel on different pools to gain my data, as should everyone intrested in profits.

@EfEks That was awesomeminer, more of a timevampire and winxpthrowback with lots of uneeded bells and whistles for a simple monitering and autoscript type program.

Fully agree with you MagicS, One simple readme with clear instructions would save a lot of issues, and other people just not bothering with the program.

Even a simple front end where you could enter the GPU's the Alogs you want and the pool/s you mine on, address details etc, would go a long way.

Not true at all. The instructions are woefully incomplete and few things are explained in the subsequent 10 pages of posts to this thread. All too often newbies inundate a thread with repetitive and basic questions but they can hardly be blamed when those questions were not answered preemptively in the first post. Frankly, I find it odd (and self-defeating) that the OP explains how to stop donations, for example, yet fails to address the following:

1) Where should Nemosminer be located? The character string "&. implies a certain location, but searching for Windows Powershell "&. does not give an answer in the 1st page of google results. I ended up replacing "&. with a hard-coded path.

2) Miningpoolhub requires each worker have a password but there is no password switch in the bat file; only after poking around the pool script files did I find out that "x" is the hard-coded password.

3) How/when are the benchmarks for each algo conducted?

4) How can the time spent on each algo be changed? Do I adjust the value in the "-interval 30" switch or via the "-ActiveMinerGainPct 3" switch or both?

Of lesser importance is how to limit the size of .\logs\miner.log - mining rigs tend to run off small SSD or USB thumb drives with much of their space taken up by a fixed size pagefile so this limit could be reached in short order and Windows really starts acting cranky when it runs out of disk space.

And I could probably come up with a few more questions, but you get the idea I'm sure. All that said, I don't want to seem ungrateful - far from it, this is an ingenious script that seems to beat NiceHack at its game - it's just that not providing even the most basic explanation of how this works/should be set up wastes the time of both the OP/script author as well as that of even technically savvy people trying to use it.

np. can't say – i use ahashpool so haven't tried multipoolminer

ahh ok ok. i thought that the start.bat used/(run) all the different pools to compare profit. haha
then i guess it works as it should but whats the point of using nemosminer using miningpoolhub instead of using multipoolminer in miningpoolhub?
thx!

Hi. You need to edit and use one of the start___pool.bat files e.g. startahashpool.bat not start.bat, that's just a file nemosminer needs to work.
All the instructions are on the first post of this thread.

Hi guys!

Slow days so i was checking out an alternative for multipoolminer.
I cant get the start.bat file running. I see it for milisec before it shuts down and im sure it has to do with me having powershell 6.01 and not 5.0...
I have no problem start.bat file for each individual pool but the start.bat folder wont start. Hmmmm?



Have a great day  

EDIT:
found it on github and microsoft page but cant be installed on my win 10 x64.
hmmm... any suggestions?

Guys, is there a miner that controls/changes power limits?!
Just now noticed that power limit is changed...
Started with Power=80%, logged and its 100%... no restarts in mean time...
wtf?!

PS:
I think ccminer-polytimos is setting power=100% and temp limit 80 ...

subscribed.  1 month mining and looking to expand horizons (from nh now that i'm building an actual 6x1080ti rig).  thanks for all the helpful info so far.

Can I ask you what's the software you are using for that 24h actual profit data?

It may be the pool nemo uses for the 5min donated mining time?

Yes I know that but still that does not explain this. I am mining to MININGPOOLHUB. Why is nemosminer trying to connect to AHASHPOOL? Should it not only be connecting to miningpoolhub?

I have the exact same problem, i am interested to see what the solution is. It does not seem to affect my mining speed though or does it?
