The profit switcher can work on single coin pools, but these must be manually added in Awesome Miner. Any pool with a known coin where the profit information is listed in the Coins tab can be used. The coins and statistics on the Coins tab are by default from coin statistics sources WhatToMine.com and CoinCalculators.io
Summary: The profit switcher cannot automatically switch to the coins on the Coins tab - you must find a pool where to mine these coins first.
The statistics used by the profit switcher is based on the current profit or 24-hour average profit information from the supported multi-pools and from the coin statistics sources. The setting for using either the current or 24-hour profitability can be found in the Options dialog, Statistics section.
For more information about the coin statistics and profitability predictions, see the guide Coin and profit statistics.
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.
