Configuration
The profit switching feature can be configured in the Options dialog, Profit switching section in Awesome Miner.
Both the Managed Profit Switching and External Profit Switching features are calculating the most profitable coin and algorithm on a regular interval and takes action to setup all configured miners for this.
Switching interval: Number of minutes between each calculation for profitability and possible change of mining algorithm or mining software
Power cost: For more advanced calculations, a power cost can be specified where each algorithm can have a power usage associated.
Profit switch threshold (%) By specifying a threshold, Awesome Miner will not make a profit switch if the profit gain is too small. This prevents too frequent switches that may have a bad impact on the profitability. A threshold of 5% indicates that it must be at least 5% more profitable before the profit switcher will make a change.
There are also additional settings in this dialog specific to Managed Profit Miners.
View profit calculations
The View Details dialog can be used to get a better understanding of why Awesome Miner prioritize a specific pool. To access the profit switching details, right click on a miner (either External Miner or Managed Profit Miner) and select View details. In the dialog, select the Profit switching tab as illustrated below. In addition to the last profit switching calculations, a history of the previous calculations is also available.
Note that the profit values listed are based on the hashrates in the selected Profit profile. These may represent a single GPU only, even if the miner has multiple GPU's. This is not an issue as these profit values are only used to compare between the pools and algorithms. The actual profit while mining will be based on the actual hashrate and displayed in the Miners tab in the main window of Awesome Miner.
