Is there a way to specify profitability as a percentage instead of as a BTC/TH/Day price constant?
As it stands today, if you want a constant profitability percentage threshold, don't you have to change the p=xxx parameter periodically after BTC network difficulty adjustments?
It would be nice to be able to specify something like this, to represent 4% over BTC, for example:
t=0.04

I guess I answered my own question because after the difficulty change today, my miners switched away from WestHast and towards another pool because the difficulty change was greater than my specified margin of profitability. This happened in spite of the fact that WestHash was running at a very desirable 10+% over BTC at certain points today.
My miners would have stayed pointed at WestHast automatically if I had been able to specify the percentage of profitability over straight BTC mining rather than a specific BTC/TH/Day price. Instead I had to manually intervene, recompute a new constant taking into account the latest difficulty, and restart my miners with the new parameters.
I would love to just set and forget a percentage value that would keep my miners pointed at WestHash for as long as they maintain a profitable margin above BTC. Seems like this would be in the pool's best interest also for situations like today where the difficulty rises but profitability is still relatively good.
Nicehash, please consider adding the ability to specify a percentage instead of constant.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
