I was just watching my workers.

Auto is giving Bitcoin work at the moment, 0.88 ratio, so looking good.

EDIT: Just noticed you're now showing the difficulties - nice touch!

I see SolidCoin Assorted Graphs now has a "Pool Reported Hash Rate". Coinotron would be a comfortable second place.

(note on page says:
I'm having trouble page-scraping coinotron, asked op for api
)

2011-09-28 New enhanced version of to auto-worker.

We've added possibility to set handicap for each coin. It affects algorithm of selection of most profitable coin. It can be used together with auto-worker. It works just like handicap in soccer betting.
If you prefer some coin over others you can set handicap to positive value. This coin will be selected for mining even if its profitability is below 1.0.
If you set negative value then coin will be selected only when its profitability is much higher than profitability of other coins.

Let's see how it works. Let's assume that we are interested only in BTC or I0C mining and BTC profitability is equal 1.

Example 1.
User wants to mine i0coins even if their profitability is below 1. He sets I0C handicap to +15%. Worker will be switched to I0C at I0C profitability = 0.87 ( 1/(1 + 15%) ). Below 0.87, worker will mine BTC.

Example 2.
User wants to mine i0coins only if they are significantly more valuable than BTC. He sets I0C handicap to -20%. Worker will be switched to I0C at I0C profitability = 1.25 ( 1/(1 - 20%) ). Below 1.25, worker will mine BTC.
