profit switching is pretty useless unless you are live converting each coin the second you mine it. Picking a single coin and mining it while holding the coins is always waaaaay more profitable.
That is actually not correct. The difficulty is the "cost" for miners. Not necessarily the sale price the second you are mining. So if the difficulty drops, it would definitely be better to switch. So the question is, in Awesome Miner, can you set the difficulty to be the trigger and not the price?
