Hello!

If you want to just download and use, then get the "Install.exe" file. It contains the switcher.

To use it you will need WORKING miners setup and configured. Currently we support any variant of CGMiner (SG, BGF, Etc...) and CUDAminer.

Although you can select a .bat file to run your miners I REALLY recommend going through the trouble of getting working .conf files up. Your life will be much better once you pass the hurtle of getting those built!

INSTALLATION HELP

Installation should be rather straight forward. Choose an installation directory, and press install. There are no registry keys, or hidden files put on your computer.

HOW TO UNINSTALL

Uninstallation is done by simply deleting the folder. There are no registry entries made or hidden files copied anywhere on your computer.

CONFIGURATION HELP

The configuration screen will popup right after installing, but you can access it by clicking the wrench icon anytime.

There are three configuration screens. I'll detail information about each of them below. with the default values in ()

First Screen:

Algorithms Selection:
1. How many algorithms are you using? (2)
This feature isn't implemented yet but will feature the ability to use more than just Scrypt / ScryptN changes

  1. Threshold to exceed before switching: (10)
    How much more profitable the best algorithm must be before we take the miner offline to make the switch

Timer Settings:
1. How often to check profitability? (120)
How many seconds between probing the API for information about probability

  1. Number of Checks before switching? (5)
    How many checks the best algorithm needs to pass before we'll bring the miner down to make the switch

Miner Type: (CGMiner)
What is the base type of miner you are using?
--note--
SGMiner, BGFMiner, etc... are all based on and use the CGMiner option.

Screen 2:
Information for Algorithm "x"
Top line is the .exe or .bat file <== this line MUST be populated
second line is for the .conf file <== this line is optional

Screen 3:
Most of this is for future development when/if there are other API's that provide similar information you can put their info in here to use a pool other than TradeMyBit.com

For now you only need to update with your API key. Check the Settings / Account page for your key.

USING THE APP

"Start" - Press to start your miner

"Stop" - Press to stop your miner

"Pause" - Prevents switching algorithms, but continues to mine

"Swap Now" - Changes to the next most profitable coin

"Config" - Re-enter the setup windows
