Topic: Coin Profitability Calculator (Read 2784 times)
Since scraping coin explorers is getting somewhat iffy, you can now use CoinChoose to get difficulty and reward information for the coins that are listed there. Also, the library buffers data received from CoinChoose and Cryptsy for reuse, which speeds things up when you're (for instance) using the CLI to list all coins. See the OP for links.
A new option has been added to the CLI version to dump information on all coins...see OP for details.
Updates for changes at Cryptsy and the Litecoin block explorer are up...check the OP for links to the latest code.
Fixed a bug in which non-integer rewards caused an incorrect calculation, and added a Bitbar config. A new binary zipball is up on Dropbox; updated source is on GitHub. See the OP for links.
Updated default config for more reliable operation, and added a Feathercoin config. A new binary zipball is up on Dropbox; updated source is on GitHub. See the OP for links.
The latest version now uses Cryptsy's new API to retrieve exchange data. A new binary zipball is up on Dropbox; updated source is on GitHub. See the OP for links.
Yep - so does MCXNow (if you want to add that exchange), that isn't too hard to use. I can send you details.
Cryptsy decided to start polluting its JSON with HTML...workaround applied. A new binary zipball is up on Dropbox; updated source is on GitHub. See the OP for links.
You might want to look at the new Cryptsy API which has the ability to get the orderbook. I switched to it.
Cryptsy finally has an API? I'll need to look into that.

I might do a command-line version next; that would be useful for a coin-hopping script (for instance).

One way you can use the CLI is to get a list of coin profitability percentages (needs bash and bc; Cygwin provides these on Windows):
Code:
btc_profit=$(profit.exe); for i in $(profit.exe -l); do echo -n $i": "; echo scale=2\; 100 \* $(profit.exe -bc $i) / $btc_profit | bc | tr -d "\n"; echo "%"; done
It'll produce output something like this:
Code:
bitcoin: 100.00%
litecoin: 96.80%
worldcoin: 118.01%
litecoin: 96.80%
worldcoin: 118.01%
JSON.NET is no longer used. As a result, CoinProfitability runs like a champ under Linux. I might do a command-line version next; that would be useful for a coin-hopping script (for instance). A new binary zipball is up on Dropbox; updated source is on GitHub. See the OP for links.
...and a new release is available, now with support for Cryptsy as well as Bter for exchange-rate lookup.
Any plans for API support?
Try the current release that I just uploaded. I should probably come up with a configuration editor instead of having to use regedit, but it's still fairly straightforward.
YAC should only be there if it has a separate expected hashrate. I remember seeing it briefly on CoinChoose and it sure looked profitable!
When I checked yesterday, it was about 3x more profitable than Bitcoin for my VPS.
Any plans for API support?
If you mean automated retrieval of some of the needed stats, it isn't something I had planned on...but it would be nice.
Edit: Recent releases have this capability. Configurations for some of the coins I've mined lately are included. Adding others is fairly straightforward.

I'm pretty sure that was the whole point behind Yacoin.
True - so I think it matters in comparison geared towards CPU miners
