[Stratum Cycle beta] - automatic pool switcher

I have created a simple utility that uses slush's mining proxy to cycle through different pools. I created this tool because the antminer s5 lacks support for cycling through different pools (correct me if I am wrong) and it also allows controlling of multiple miners to a pool, so you do not need to enter each miner to change the pool's address.


steps to use this utility
1)download slush's mining proxy from https://mining.bitcoin.cz/user-manual/mining-proxy/
2)download Stratum Cycle  from http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=15968582744109582093
3)extract "mining_proxy.exe" to the same folder as "StratumCycle.exe" - make sure the names are identical


setting up the miner
1)point your miner to the computer where the utility is running
2)the name and password does not matter
3)save and apply


adding pools to the utility
1)fill in the mining pool information and worker name accordingly
2)set the duration you want to mine in the pool (in hours)
3)listening port is where you point the miner to
4)click the "Add" button to add to the list
5)after adding your pools, select the pool (on the table) you want to run first and click "start mining"

FAQ
- the utility will loop forever until the "stop mining" button is pressed
- information can be edited in the table
- currently the duration must be in whole numbers (1,2,3,4,10,20,30,etc)

I apologies if there are any similar utility out that. I am not aware of it. This utility was written by me without any reference to any existing utilities. I hope you guys enjoy it.
