    hmmm...  1 more feature request, can you factor in merge-mining? i.e. currently my btc mining pool is  a merge-mining pool, if another non-merged coin does not exceed BTC + the merged coinses in profitability I would not want it to auto-switch.

    Considerations:  Many pools just do BTC + NMC, but others do much more (ala bitparking) and the added boost can be in excess of 10% at times, so you'd probably have to somehow select all the merged coins in your merge mining setup.
    Does the setting for each coin where you can adjust the profitability by addition or by multiplication help address this? Or is there something more to it? If there is more needed can you be a bit more specific? Thanks!

    What I would think (to help understand what I'm referring to) is that you allow a user to add coin type "merge mining" or some such, then they are presented with another data field to specify which coins are being merged (i.e. BTC, NMC, DVC, IXC as it stands currently at bitparking) then later when deciding on if you should continue merge mining or switch your hash rate to another coin the current profitability of all your merge mining coins is summed so that you'll only swap if the profitability of the "other" chain exceeds the combined total of all of your merge mined coins.

    This should be settable because different places merge mine in different ways, and when merge mining on your own say with p2pool you can merge mine A LOT of coins, scrypt coins will likely see merge mining start taking place in the next 6 months or so as well I would predict.

    Was that more clear?...
