Several version and lots of feedback later I've rebuilt the application into Miner Control. This has the same features from NiceHash Control plus many more. It now supports multiple services as well as manual configurations. It has failover support to move to other services when one becomes unavailable.
Here is a quick list of features:
- Supports multiple services which provide an API for pricing and payout in Bitcoin (more may be added if they are compatible).
- NiceHash
- WestHash
TradeMyBit- shut down on 17 December 2014YAAMP- goneWafflePool- gone- LTCRabbit
- WePayBTC
Hamsterpool- gone
- API call once per minute to each service to get the current prices.
- Manual configurations for last resort backup pool.
- Failover support when miner exits abnormally (such as when pool is down).
- Minimum time to mine on new algorithm to allow for spin up of the miner.
- Forced restart of miner after maximum amount of time to avoid stuck miners.
- Time before switch to new best algorithm to avoid flickering between algorithms with similar payout levels.
- Config parameter substitution for common values in miner configs.
- View output from multiple mining computers on one system with 'remote console'.
Full source code is available at my GitHub repository.

Instructions:
- Download into a folder on your Windows computer
- Make sure .NET Framework 4.0 is installed
- Modify MinerControl.conf with the settings for your own mining applications
- Start MinerControl.exe
- Click "Start" for each miner to confirm it launches and does not require confirmation each time it is opened
- Click "Auto" to change over to auto selection mode
- Profit!!
Command line arguments:
- -a | --auto-start Start mining in automatic mode as soon as the application starts.
- -m | --minimize Minimize application on startup.
- -t | --minimize-to-tray Minimize to the tool tray and hide miner when minimize icon is clicked. This option is obsolete and the config setting "traymode" should be used instead. If "traymode" is set to "0" then this option will switch it to "2".
Q & A:
- Q: How can I start mining automatically when MinerControl starts? A: Launch with "MinerControl.exe --auto-start".
- Q: Miner Control starts to display, freezes for a second, and then crashes. What is happening? A: Most likely there is an error in the config file. Miner Control is sensitive to the formatting of this file and will crash badly if there is an error. Make sure your "key":"value" pairs are all correctly named and that any path backslashes are created as double-backslash ("\\"). Consider using a validator just as JSON Lint to verify your config file structure.
- Q: Will Miner Control work on Windows XP? A: Yes, just make sure you have .NET Framework 4.0 installed.
- Q: What does donation mining do? A: Donation mining will mine to the MinerControl author's address or account for a percentage of time. Default setting is for 2% of the time over four hours which works out to just under five minutes spent donation mining every four hours. If the percentage is set to 0 then no donation mining will occur.
Here is the configuration file I'm currently using to show how both ccminer and cudaminer can be invoked.
