FAQ

"Why are algorithms disappearing from my screen?"

If you see algorithms disappear- This is why: Algorithm pricing is always valued higher than coin pricing. Why that is the case, is an entirely different explanation, one that is a good question for the pools you are mining at, not me. My miner just pulls the stats they post from their api.

So let's say this:

lyra2z = 1.00 a day on zergpool

lyra2v2 = .98 a day on zergpool

Miner selects lyra2z as the most profitable algorithm. It will notify you of this.

It then downloads coin data:

Mano .97

IFX .96

CRS .95

It selects Mano to be the most profitable choice to mine. However Lyra2v2 is supposedly rumored to be .98 So if I added Lyra2v2 to the GUI- it would be higher on the list that MANO. Because of this, I made it so that if you select -Favor_Coins Yes it will remove Lyra2v2 or any other algorithms from the list that are valued above the coin that was selected so that MANO is on top.

But wait you say? Why is Lyra2v2 higher than than MANO?

There are lots of reasons why this can be the case: API calls at different times, from my limited knowledge of Yiimp source code, it appears that algorithm pricing and coin pricing are loaded into api at different times, so they can have slightly different values, and other possible reasons which can be suspect.

So miner is NOT dropping algorithms in profit calculation. It IS dropping algorithms on GUI display.

By this logic, when slower price movement occurs- up to half of the algorithms can be removed from gui, if their initial price were very close to each. Also by the same logic, if the algorithm price was recorded as being high, but then the coin pull the prices were all low (api pricing changed in between), even more than of the algorithms can be removed from list.

"Can I do Algorithm specific OC Settings?"

No, at this time you cannot. HiveOS website does not change algorithms fast enough to perform OC specific settings for individual algorithms. Feel free to contact Hive, and let them know that you wish site to change algorithms faster. It was working HiveOS 1.0, but has since changed since HiveOS 2.0.

I am working on OC specific setting for algorithms by miner, but will not happen until API is finished, which is longer term project.

"I am receiving out of memory error messages on miner. What does that mean?"

You are likely mining balloon, and it means just what it says- You likely do not have enough memory in your GPU or RAM. You can attempt to enable swap files to help, but I do not recommend it.

"Why are MPH payouts so low?"

MPH is pplns. It is not Prop like all other pools. I have not implemented a feature to allow miner to stay on a block until it is found, because test results shows low profits. If your miner switches to MPH 3/4 of the way until block find, you just wasted your hashrate.

MPH is more for single algorithm mining, if you wish to take advantage of one of the miners that is in MM.Hash, but not in HiveOS.

"How do I add a new algorithm?"

-everything must be lowercase

-modify get-pool.txt and add the algorithm there in the same convention of other algorithms.

-modify miner file you wish to add to, adding that algorithm in the same convention of the other algorithms.

-modify get-nvidia/amd/cpu with the new algorithm if it requires miner to change it (Example: for enemy miner "aergo":"aeriumx") in the same convention. Not needed if pool name of algorithm matches miner algorithm name.

"I am seeing an error message that MM.Hash failed to rename a miner...Or it says cannot find "Path_Old". What does this mean?"

It usually means that a miner failed to download and extract itself, or you are out of disk space. Likely the latter if running on USB or HiveOS.

Delete the Miner if it is in Bin folder, and delete the .zip file in the x64 folder, and restart MM.Hash. If it happens again, try downloading the miner manually from the link (located in Config > Update > [type]-linux/windows.txt) and see what you get doing so."

"I have auto_coin set to yes, and added a coin pool. Why is MM.hash not switching to coins?"

MM.Hash only switches to coins when the most profitable pool is a pool that is capable of mining via coin (mc= argument). It will display on the screen in magenta writing "Best Pool Is CoinPool" when this is the case.
