A blind bounty, you say. Well, whatever you think the changes I've just pushed are worth...

[sal002]

Nice!

[glendall]

Sweet app, nice work... !

Btw, are there any Freicoin exchanges though? I haven't come across this coin much. .. 

[sal002]

Yes - there is one at cryponit.  See my site (in my signature).

Anyone interested in making a Cryptonit API wrapper for Python?

Could anyone help me with setting it up?
I can't find the dependencies and where to put them

Which OS, and what have you tried so far? What errors do you get?

I'm afraid I'm not a Windows person (for mining, anyway). Is there an equivalent of pip for Windows, does someone else know?

Feathercoin now supported for those using CoinChoose.

[davidkassa]

This is pretty cool. I was just thinking of doing the exact same thing. I'll have to dig in (and possibly contribute) once I get time.

[area]

Again, thanks to a CoinChoose update, MinCoin has now joined the party.

This might be really useful, I'm tired of checking the charts every day to decide myself. I already have my own scripts to switch configs and restart all rigs, so it sounds like a simple plug-n-play job! That auto-selling feature sounds especially interesting. I guess auto-withdrawal is not supported yet?

EDIT: There are config options gkeypersec for vanity mining speed and ghashpersec for BTC mining speed, but no option for LTC mining speed. Is the default 1MH/s -> 1kH/s ratio assumed?

This is so awesome!! 

Really can't wait for my rig to arrive now.

Neither exchange supports auto-withdrawal via the API, so I don't see that feature being implemented soon, I'm afraid.

The default 1MH/s -> 1kH/s ratio is assumed (by virtue of this assumption being made by dustcoin and CoinChoose), but if that is drastically wrong for you, you can include additional fees to penalise Scrypt coins the appropriate amount. So if you get 700MH/s with SHA256, but only 600MH/s with Scrypt coins, you would include an additional fee of 1-(600/700) = 0.14 on Scrypt coins.

[area]

With thanks to open5443 on GitHub, the latest round of updates supports using Dustcoin and Coinchoose at the same time, and CHNCoin has also joined the party.

Anyone got this working on Win7 yet?

Anyone got this working on Win7 yet?

I would like to know this too, and if there is anything that could be done to make it easier to run on Windows, I'd look into it.

Yes It's working on my Win 7 64 setup.. Heres all the hassles I had..

1 You can't use python 3.3.. Use Python 2.7.4 (has urllib 2 ) http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.4/

2 Remember to set your path to python 27 (Instructions : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddpYVA-7wq4 )

3 You need to install beautifulsoup4-4.0.0b10 (later version didn't work)
http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/download/4.0/

4 You need to install simplejson https://github.com/simplejson/simplejson

5 You need to install Numpy from the appropiate executable found only here : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

6 You need to download pyvircurex-master.zip and btce-api-master.zip and drop their files into the appropiate folders in the cryptoswitcher directory.

Then, if you have changed the cryptoswitcher.config to read batchfiles like the supplied bitcoin.bat, it works like a dream.

Happy geeking
