Abstract: A method for automated switching of workloads on computing devices to increase returns such as rewards or transaction fees in a cryptocurrency blockchain network is disclosed. A plurality of signals impacting the profitability of mining for a plurality of different cryptocurrencies and plurality of different mining pools are monitored. In response to the plurality of signals indicating a different cryptocurrency and mining pool combination is more profitable, the computing device workload is automatically switched. Switching cost may be calculated and used to prevent unprofitable switches. The signals may be used to train a machine learning model that may be used to predict future profitability for automatic switching.
