Restarting cgminer is botchy at best. Most systems can't handle it without crashing.

So I'd suggest you add the option to add/stop/remove pools via API to a currently running cgminer.

The code for this could perhaps be borrowed from psheps ANUBIS project: https://github.com/pshep/ANUBIS

At the moment it favors MNC, which isn't even in the API (http://www.coinchoose.com/api.php). Something seems fishy. According to Coinchoose Worldcoin is atm at 200% profitability of BTC.

Bug report I received via PM on bitcointalk

When it's estimating profitability, it applies the "pool fee" percentage to the nominal bitcoin 100% amount, not the actual coin's profitability....

So for example, let's say it queries coinchoose.com and finds that MEC is currently 200% as profitable as bitcoin. Let's say that I have MEC configured as a pool fee of 5% (2.5% for my pool, and an estimate of 2.5% stale, so I'm losing 5% in total).

Currently, cryptoswitcher would assign this situation a value of 195, whereas it should be 190.

Doesn't seem like PyCryptsy can parse the API response anymore.

I'm a longtime user of Cryptoswitcher that recently got into operationg mining pools. I would like to add this functionality to a pool. Could you give me some tips?

Would be nice if the CryptoSwitcher could be able to send a value when running a script:

For instance:

DGCscript = "/home/username/switchpool.php 3"

Today Coinotron is unavailable (HTTP 503). The script crash as it seems to expect a 2xx return code with an answer.

It should control the HTTP return code, and fallback to an older value if 4xx or 5xx answer.

Meanwhile thanks for this precious script

Here comes the output of the crash:

As you can see, the script calcs the value 0 for the coins that is changed to LTC only.

2 calcs is needed I guess, first LTC vs BTC price. Then use that to compare the profitability of the new vs LTC only coins.

If you got coin A with profitability 50 and coin B with profitability 51. Will it auto switch to B even if diff is like 700 on that and 0.5 on A?
