Is there any info for profitability between scrypt, scrypt-n and x11?

Here is what you have to consider:

1. You need to "baseline" your hashrates on your cards, mining each different Algorithm.
2. Using these baselines (e.g. Scrypt: 3.2MH/sec, X11: 9.2MH/sec, etc.) you then need to calculate against the numbers on the home page.
3. For example:
- Scrypt: 3.2 MH/sec = 0.0032 GH/sec * 3.2698 BTC/GH/Day = 0.0104 BTC/Day
- X11: 9.2 MH/sec = 0.0092 GH/sec * 2.3073 BTC/GH/Day = 0.0212 BTC/Day

So at the moment, mining X11 is far more profitable ...

This is why I want the JSON API to retrieve the values and automate the calculations throughout the day. Then I need to control and relaunch my miner - pretty easy to do - altering the conf file to switch Algorithms based on these calculations.

For a quick comparison I found this to work reasonably well with AMD GPUs:

Multiply Scrypt rate by 2
Multiply X11 rate by 6
Now compare both with Scrypt-N
Whichever is highest mine that

Can be done at a glance without a calculator, doesn't have to be accurate - you can see right away that now for example scrypt times two is ~6, X11 times six is ~13, and Scrypt-N is ~9
