Start mining coins recommended by whattomine

mine-top-coin.sh

#!/bin/bash

# this script expects scripts named <cointag> in the minerscripts sub directory
# Passing 'i' to this scripts will ask before starting to mine, answer 'n' to quit 
# or 'c' to ask for the next available coin
# running without arguments starts mining the first available coin
#
# Example:
#
# cat ./minerscripts/ETH
#
# #!/bin/bash
# ethminer -F http://eth-eu1.nanopool.org:8888/0x01fAA7bDB621693830245bee70D530280EAEF7cE/miningrig -U --cuda-schedule auto
