TradeMyBit Switcher

A script to switch between the scrypt and n-scrypt multipool as profitability dictates.

Currently tested on:

• xubuntu 13.10 with cgminer-kalroth and vertminer
• xubuntu 13.10 with sgminer (nfactor branch)
• SMOS Linux (Strider3000)

Dependencies

• Python

Usage

1. Download or clone this repository

2. Have a look at example scripts in the scripts folder, and rename/edit them according to your system setup. cgminer API must be enabled (--api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1)

3. Rename tmb-switcher.conf.sample to tmb-switcher.conf and edit it to set everything up, including your TradeMyBit API key and the path to your scripts.

4. Finally run: python trademybit-switcher.py

$ python trademybit-switcher.py

SMOS Usage

Scripts courtesy of Strider3000.

You'll need to have two cgminer.conf files under /etc/bamt/, cgminer_scrypt.conf and cgminer_nscrypt.conf. Then use the sample xxx.smos.sh.example scripts in the scripts folder.
