exactly this. and any extended hot streak ie 30 blocks in 2 hours vs 5 hours can alter hash rates

or cold streak 1 block in 2 hours .

or better yet 1 block in 2 hours followed by 30 blocks in 2 hours will make a spike.

I would like to be walked through this.

Are the coin prices automatically fed into the coin switching program? And how rapidly would they be able to sell what they mine?

I presume it all hangs on price and how quickly you can dispose of it. It's not much use if you sell once at the end of the week. Whatever spike you benefited from might have evaporated in terms of price by then.
