1. The coin being mined is shown in real time on the WinMiner Interface
2. Benchmark results - Here we show the results for the most profitable coin per algo - in the case you described you were seeing ETC there and not ETH because it was, at that specific time, more profitable to mine than ETH
Hope this clarifies
i always see it mining etc (dual mining with dcr) , even though according to current difficulty , current profit / current prices eth is more profitable.
Same, reason I started digging into the logs and posted on the forums. You can't tell me that over the course of 2-3 months that ETH hasn't been more profitable to mine than ETC at least once. For my miners to not have a single benchmark for the algo or price decision seems a little off. Right now it's mining EXP+DCR with est of $8.59 daily earnings. I can go straight ETH mining with an estimated $13.40 daily earnings, not to mention the additional earning from mining a second algo, SIA, DCR etc.
I'll clear benchmark results and see if it picks up ETH and mines that instead but I doubt it since it hasn't yet.
