Ok, so I installed ccminer in the minercontrol directory, adjusted for my address and tried running it as is.  It didn't do anything but sit there.  I copied your conf file from the link you put up but I'm going to guess that since the address listed is mine.zpool.ca, it might be out of date???  From what I understand, the mining addresses are now separated based on the algo being used.  Is that correct?

MINERCONTROL CONFIGURATION--

I wrote a basic configuration file for MinerControl and posted in this thread around the 4th of July.  LINK: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15464974  Basically, I placed several versions of CCminer in the same directory as MinerControl, naming each one differently.  "MinerControl.exe", when launched, will perform much the same duties as JaredKaragen's batch file, switching between algos at different pools.  There is the advantage of MinerControl, it can handle the different pool Application Programming Interfaces (API) used for auto-switching.  JK's batch file will only work on Zpool.  MinerControl will also handle SGminer and AMD cards, etc.

You should read the MinerControl thread.  LINK:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8669925  There are fewer auto-switching pools than when MinerControl was developed.  Zpool is the only Yiimp-style pool now running that allows auto-switching.  The original was called YAAMP.

So, if you set one or more versions of CCminer in the same directory as MinerControl, and there are no typos in your configuration file, click on MinerControl, and it will run for days, with ststistics and etc..  You should read up first, though, so that you can understand the differences between CCminer versions, and how to handle the configuration file for personal changes.       --scryptr

Oh I deffinitely will do some reading.  Like I said, I hate to keep asking questions but my way of giving back is that while I'm doing this, I'm also writing a "noobs guide" on how to get started, what to setup, what it all means, etc...  Hopefully in the future when someone asks you guys what to do, you'll be able to just point them to my guide and be done with it.  

Thanks for the info, Scryptr.

Hey guys, I hate to keep being a novice but I gotta ask questions to get caught up to you all.

Ok, so I've been looking at Miner Control and it seems like it could be really powerful to use.  Problem is that (from what I can see) it more or less wants you to already know what you're doing.
So, a few questions (and yes, I've been looking around for the answers)...

1st.  How do you bloody well use the thing?  It doesn't seem to have any miner attached to it and I can't tell what it's looking for in order to get the right ones.
2nd.  I dove into the .conf file in an effort to kinda figure out how to setup a mining pool with ZPool but alas, I don't think I've quite got it.  So, does anyone have one they could post?
3rd.  What miner(s) would it be looking for?  I don't mind hunting them down but since I can't tell what it's looking for, that doesn't really help me.  

As always, thanks to you guys for putting up with my noobishness.

Please share.

Yesscrypt doesn't do #@$%# on a GPU.... well, nvidia anyways...   or hashrate is seriously under-profit compared to lets say X11.
I have found that yesscrypt is best on the new E-series cpu's with insane amounts of cores at higher freq...  But;  when I normalized on my I7 and my xeon X5650/X5365 machines;  Neoscrypt/argon2 were always preferred above all else.

Take the profitability in the corner with a grain of salt.  relate non-gpu algos with non-gpu algos only.  (Yesscrypt, m7m, argon2, neoscrypt)....   But the normalizations are magnatudes different than each other:

My Dual Xeon X5365 SLAED machine had these values [the values were scaled up a little in hashrate between it and the X5650 machine but no deviance same ratio of hash diff]:
argon2=   12.1 Kh/s 0.0121Mh
yescrypt=   1.05 Kh/s 0.00105Mh
neoscrypt=   23.1 Kh/s 0.0231Mh
So those MH values are what you multiply the current profitability estimate with that's displayed in the "Pool Status" pane on the site. (which [as I understand] is based on things like:  exchange price, pool luck, BTC exchange price, and hashrate/miners, etc)  That yescrype value is kind-of a false number... see why?  it's a thousandth, when the other's are 10-20x more when calculated to their respective lower number.   Yescrypt has been on the top since it first was added.   Only random exchange pricing causes one algo to take the cake, but that basically never happens.

so......



 for multi CPU profit switching it would look like this:

Now;  my batch will be modified at some point to do it for the cpu algos, but since there's only 3 I can use I leave it in the old "round robin" config. (haven't yet found a good working copy of m7m cpuminer for xeons and first gen i7's so its not here).  I can trim up the batch for this sometime if people think its necessary..

*edit* but yes;  You can run profit switching between cpu and GPU algos independently.

I looked over your script and I noticed that yescrypt isn't there.  I was wondering if you had plans to add that in as it's paying really well for CPU mining at the moment?

goto start

I DID find that there is a way to get the Intel stuff to mine (albeit pretty slowly) so it's not really doing much.
