 Miner Control
 =============
 
-KBomba 
-
-I tried out NiceHash-control when it was first released, but I was too busy hunting real coins myself. Now that mining profits are lower than they used to be, I became "lazy" and got hooked by Miner Control (again).
-But the not-lazy part in me wanted more. StuffOfInterest already provided a great tool, and an even greater codebase for me to play with. 
-Most of my additions hook seamlessly into his code. One can keep on using their old .conf files without any problems, but they'll miss out on a few handy features.
-The following text is made originally by StuffOfInterest in the original BitcoinTalk ANN thread. I just edited a few things here and there.

 Here is a quick list of features:
 - Supports multiple services which provide an API for pricing and payout in Bitcoin (more may be added if they are compatible).
-  - NiceHash
-  - WestHash

   - <del>TradeMyBit</del>

 - API call once per minute to each service to get the current prices.
 - Manual configurations for last resort backup pool.
 - Failover support when miner exits abnormally (such as when pool is down).

@@ -207,41 +192,7 @@ Q & A:
 	A: Most likely there is an error in the config file. Miner Control is sensitive to the formatting of this file and will crash badly if there is an error.  Make sure your "key":"value" pairs are all correctly named and that any path backslashes are created as double-backslash ("\\").  Consider using a validator just as JSON Lint to verify your config file structure.
 
 	Q: Will Miner Control work on Windows XP? 
-	A: Yes, just make sure you have .NET Framework 4.0 installed.
+	A: Not anymore since the switch to .NET 4.5. One can still use an older version of MC. 
 
     Q: What does donation mining do? 
 	A: Donation mining will mine to the MinerControl author's address or account for a percentage of time.  Default setting is for 2% of the time over four hours which works out to just under five minutes spent donation mining every four hours.  If the percentage is set to 0 then no donation mining will occur.
