[ANN] CryptoSwitcher - Automatically mine the best coin.

[BTCsckr]

I've put a request in with Cryptsy support...for the time being, if you disable auto-trading with Cryptsy, CryptoSwitcher will continue to work.

BigVern asked me for my IP address so it could be whitelisted.  For those of you who are auto-trading through Cryptsy, I'd recommend sending a request to support@cryptsy.com that your public IP address be whitelisted.  Once that was done, CryptoSwitcher was back to business as usual.

That would be a short-term solution since my ip is dynamic as it is for most of the people, don´t think BigVern will whitelist an ip range so i can autotrade after my modem restarts and change my ip

The better long-term solution would be to remove the anti-DDoS protection from at least the API pages. Only users have access to them anyway, and if somebody is abusing the service, it should be easy to identify the perp and whack him with the banhammer. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do to work around it.

I am willing to pay a bounty for someone to send me an image of their BAMT miner with cryptoswitcher... PM me for more details!

The last time I looked into BAMT, wasn't it hopelessly out-of-date? It was last updated more than a year ago, and the site that hosted it is down.  You'd most likely need to update the ATI drivers and cgminer (at a minimum). If you're already doing that, it seems that starting with a newer base system and putting on the latest software would be the better way to go.

I'm somewhat partial to Gentoo. You can get a system running from a stage3 tarball fairly quickly, and about the only ebuilds you would need to add to start mining are ati-drivers and cgminer.  Portage has ati-drivers ebuilds available, and I have ebuilds for cgminer (and a bunch of other Bitcoin- and altcoin-related packages) at https://github.com/salfter/portage. (Portage also has cgminer ebuilds, but their latest is 2.7.4.  My newest is 3.3.1.)

That said, maybe there's an opportunity to start with something like the SystemRescueCD (a bootable Gentoo-based system you can put on recordable media or a USB flashstick) and make a BAMT replacement out of it.

I reckon you need to make your shell scripts executable? i.e. chmod +x pxc.sh

stupid question but you have the .conf file in the same directory as the .py file right? Also make sure the extension is .conf and not .config

I have all of those .bat files in my cgminer folder along with all of the cryptoswitcher items.  I am sure I am missing something simple I just can't figure it out.

If anybody has any ideas It would be greatly welcomed.

I hate to bump my own post but this has my head spinning.  I have tried to google and research this issue with no answer anywhere that I can find.  I would  really love to get this working to try out the program.  Again any and all advice is welcome.  Thanks again in advance.

stupid question but you have the .conf file in the same directory as the .py file right? Also make sure the extension is .conf and not .config

Yep and yep.  Still no dice.

Hey guys I have been trying to get this running for a few hours now and I can't for the life of me figure out what I am missing here.  I keep getting this error message:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200]
(c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

What version of Windows is this...Windows 8?  Windows 7 SP1 is 6.1.7601.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd c:\cryptoswitcher

I had a bunch of problems migrating from WinXP to Win7 with the way Win7 screws with file permissions.  I've never used Win8, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it's broken in the same way.  Directories created in the root directory are created with permissions for nobody.  Try this:

1) Open an Explorer window to C:\. Create a new directory.
2) Open a Cygwin shell prompt. Type this:

Code:

cd /cygdrive/c/ && ls -l | grep foo

Permissions should look something like "drwxr-xr-x+" if it had been properly created.  Instead, you'll probably see "d---------+", which means nobody can access it (or files within it).  Check permissions on the files in your CryptoSwitcher directory...I wouldn't be surprised if

Code:

ls -l /cygdrive/c/cryptoswitcher

reveals that none of the files are readable. When CryptoSwitcher then tries to load its config file, it's told it can't, which is why you're getting that error.

I'd recommend running CryptoSwitcher (and your miner) from "C:\Program Files (x86)" (or "C:\Program Files" on a 32-bit system).  Open a Cygwin administrator prompt (find the Cygwin Terminal shortcut in the start menu, right-click it, and click "Run as administrator") and use this to move it and (hopefully) fix permissions to something useful:

Code:

cd c:
mv cryptoswitcher Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/CryptoSwitcher
chmod 755 Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/CryptoSwitcher
chmod 644 Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/CryptoSwitcher/*

It is windows 8, upgraded from 7.  It was like you guessed, the permissions were not readable.  I did all the steps that you listed and it did move the file but I am still getting the same error.  I have been trying to modify that line of text you had me try to show the permissions of the cryptoswitcher folder to check if the permissions were changed when it was moved but I can't get it right.

I thought the extension was .config, not .conf.

After I tried your steps and it still didnt work on my windows 8 machine I decided to start from scratch on a fresh windows 7 install on another machine.  All went great until I got to the part of starting cryptoswitcher and guess what... I got the same error.  Now i really have no idea what's going on since it should not be permission issues since I am using a fresh install of windows 7 and it comes up with the exact same error.  I am basically giving up on the hope that I will be able to get this to work.  It does seem like an awesome idea but it looks like i'll be sticking to just switching all my miners over manually

It seems Cryptsy is moving some coins to secondary exchage (I imagine that is coin/LTC) so that would mean CS wouldn't support them, right?

If so, here are some of the coins they're listing, to give a heads up:

    DBL/LTC
    DVC/LTC
    EZC/LTC
    GLD/LTC
    JKC/LTC
    MEM/LTC
    RYC/LTC

Here's the message that appears when I try to exchange, let's say, MEM:

MemeCoin market will be moving from Primary to Secondary. For the next few days, both markets will be open, then MEM/BTC market will close

Well I just gave up getting this to work entirely as it was never really designed for windows in the first place.  If you are on windows and are still looking for a profitability switching program MultiMiner from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248173.0 works flawlessly with a few less options and only takes about 5 mins to setup on windows.

This is way too much trouble

I can't understand why there are so many pools, and compare sites, why is there not a pool that simply collects SHA256 and Scrypt cycles, and does all the magic in the background, and pays you in a destination crypto?

There is a pool that always tries to mine the most profitable coin. https://www.multipool.in. That being said, you could also use CryptoSwitcher to setup a similar port forwarding service yourself, and pick only the coins that you want to mine. There's nothing forcing you to touch the miners when a coin change is triggered in CryptoSwitcher, you could just as well change a port forward to point to a different pool or coin daemon, and always keep your miners pointed to the port that's being forwarded. Just like multipool is doing it.

Anybody working on an API for Coins-E?    This exchange allows you to trade most of the Cryptocurrencies for Litecoin instead of Bitcoin.     

[area]

Users of CryptoSwitcher will likely be interested in MiddleCoin, which has just started: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=259649

[Gorets]

Few days not work CryptoSwitcher with Cryptsy API, its problem with CryptoSwitcher or  Cryptsy? (get coin rates)

May need to try this out
