Removed skein coins from the main list.
Added basic json data for coin pages - returns per day mining calculations.

For example:
http://www.whattomine.com/coins/1.json?hr=1155.0&br=25.0&d=159173130679.715&p=590.0&fee=0.0&cost=0.1&hcost=0.0&btc=405.801

 Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry

I was using that skein data for profit switching between DGB & MYR.  I wonder if there is a way to switch to using the json data on the coin pages instead?  Is there a way to combine the json data for more than one coin on the same page?

eg http://www.whattomine.com/coins/[INSERT COIN NUMBERS].json

The data was too hardcoded imo, causing confusion as well.

There is no such logic at the moment, but nothing stops you from doing 2 more json calls to both DGB and MYR skein.
I think its better, cause you can input your real hashrate for that algo this way.

However I can see that there is no btc_revenue key returned for index, let me add that, so you can calculate profitability yourself for Skein. (Done)

Unfortunately the data is not quite the same either.  On the main page, there's "profitability" and "profitability24".  This has been replaced by "profit" on the pages for individual coins, which equates to the 24 hour average.  Since it's switching based on current difficulty that I'm looking to do, a 24 hour average is of no use to me.
