Awesome Miner can display the balance for a number of the most popular mining pools. The pools currently supported are Nicehash, Mining Pool Hub (requires API key) and all Yiimp-based pools like zpool, zergpool and more.
An example of the pool balance feature is displayed below, where the information can be access from the main window of Awesome Miner, via the Balance tab.
Configuration
The Pool Balance feature is configured in the Options dialog, Balance section. By default, all pools that are used by the profit switcher that also supports pool balance will automatically be added to the Balance tab in the main window of Awesome Miner and doesn't have to be added manually. Mining Dutch doesn't support pool balance and Mining Pool Hub must be added manually.
For many pools, the pool balance is added by specifying the wallet address used for mining. One exception is Mining Pool Hub, where an API key is required. To get the API key, sign in to the Mining Pool Hub web site and click Edit Account. Copy the API key and paste in Awesome Miner as illustrated below.
MPOS compatible pools
Enter the URL of the MPOS pool that provides the API.
Example for Suprnova Dash:
dash.suprnova.cc
An alternative is to enter the full URL to the API like:
https://dash.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=api
MPOS pools are typically providing the API key via the Edit Account page on their web sites.
