Yes, please work with StuffOfInterest on this! I love CoinKing's auto-exchange features (being able to exchange for any altcoin, not just BTC), but I also love the auto-algo-switching of Miner Control, so it would be GREAT to be able to use both together!
The lack of responses leads me to believe that CoinKing's developer/admin is not interested in being supported by Miner Control.
We will update our API spec today/tomorrow to include everything you need. I will also create a special API call that allows users to switch coins, so you can integrate that in to Miner Control as well. I'll send you a PM when it's done.
Hi. The coin switch API isn't really needed. As long as I can get the best paying algorithm then Miner Control will shut down a running miner and reconnect to a new port to switch algorithms.
Looking forward to seeing the API as I've had a couple of people request adding support for CoinKing.
Not a problem. All miners connect to one port, coin is changed from the web interface, multiport is selected by default.
I may be mistaken, but it looks like there's a slight communication error here.
Coin-switching isn't a problem, as CoinKing multiports already handle that, and users can even set up custom multiports, to mine specific coins. (Miner Control doesn't bother with specific coins, and is built for multipools) The reason we want Miner Control to support CoinKing, is that Miner Control handles automatic
algorithm-switching, based on the most profitable pool/algorithm. There is currently no way to automatically switch algorithms with CoinKing, so Miner Control
could solve that, once CoinKing upgrades the API requirements. The only thing needed, API-wise, is simply a real-time profitability statistic, per algorithm, normalized to BTC values. CoinKing could just report the profitability of the default multiports for each algorithm, assuming automatic conversion to BTC (of course each user could set up the autoconversion to whatever they want, but for profitability calculation the API can assume conversion to BTC).
I hope this clears up any confusion.
