I just did a test on the NHM.... And.. i am on the fence about using it.
strangely, it says LYRA2 is more profitable than other algos... which... hmmm.... But it was expecting an average of just over $2/day for my 1070... so IDK yet.
I think ill stay with my guns I have been working on for the next week or so and do another look into if its worth switching over once again. Once I get back home from here, Ill put the NH miner on my Rackminer and let it go full-bore for 2 weeks. Last time I did this... I was disappointed, and turned to mining solely skien on zpool.... and made an absolute killing. I'm obviously on better/more profitable algos nowadays... and still see ~3.6mbtc per 7 days on the equivalent of just over 2 1070's.
My beef with the NH miner is you can't trim intensity. I have one rig I use every day and thus, intensity is key as I do not like having to deal with the app closing, or worse forgetting to restart it (I packed and brought it with me 4 hours into the mountains where i've been working my ass off for the last few weeks).
Luckily here in Arnold; there's DSL.... so I have a link to the net and I don't loose out on a 1070 of hashrate.
What a chump to have to bring a pc with you when you go out to the woods for several weeks
