Re: [ANN] Miner Control 1.5.3 - Auto profit switching miner controller

It will be even worse if there is no rented rig (all MRR are dead) - there will be at least 2min pause every switchtime...
Am I missing something? Maybe there is another way to do it?
I think it would be the ideal way if MC could check for pools viability before switching to them?
And then switches to the first alive pool going from the most profitable down...
Since you're using it to manually switch between renters, which will only do so when one goes down, you don't really need any "switch time" at all. I'd say set it to something extremely low, or even 0, so there is little-to-no wait time when switching.It will be even worse if there is no rented rig (all MRR are dead) - there will be at least 2min pause every switchtime...

First 4 pools (MRR in name) are rentals. They will be all dead, OR only one will be alive.
MC should switch when one of them gets alive AND switch back to profit based when all the rentals are dead.
Here is a simple block diagram:
I achieved that, but the main problem is in order to do the "IF" statement MC has to go through (start mining at) all the pools based on their profitability,
which means there will be a lot of down time (retries before a pool is declared dead). That is because a check for an alive renting pool should be done once
every 1 or 2 mins. So even if there is no change in which pools are alive or dead there will be an interruption of mining for pool status check. So that was my initial idea -
Could Miner Control check pool viability without actually interrupting current mining?
Like is it possible to start new instance of ccminer that only checks if pools are dead or alive?
And only initiate a switch if there is a change in the profitability/availability of pools?
I am pretty sure that is the way c/sgminer works (without the profitability part).
