Mike (nananaminer) - Pool mining Script

Two months ago I created an automated script for auto installing and mining BBP on the pool.
The script was created using Togo's guide.

This is sort of a test proposal for real BBPs.

====

3 hours to compile and test the script, 2 hours debugging and support. [$30 x 3 hours + $15 x 2 hours]
I am requesting $120 for it.

$120 = 16692 BBP (@ 12/21/2017 @ 6:43am (UTC))

--------

This proposal is approximately 0.28% of total superblock budget.

Nananaminer's script improved upon my Linux guide and basically made a one click miner for command line users.

I had no idea there was a -y flag that would automatically say yes during the install process, that is neat.
With my guide you have to enter in each line one by one and click enter all the time.

This script also has a parameter to add a worker name and auto add it into the config,
it also auto sets up the config with the pool settings.

This script probably helped a few Linux/Ubuntu users start mining (one click mining basically),
but probably also helped miners with many machines install on all their machines quickly,
miners strengthen the network and make us more resilient to 51% attacks.

There is still a few hundred thousand coins in the IT budget for this budget cycle, I vote yes.

I vote yes.

fyi ... a caveat ... I just used it for upgrading to v1.0.7.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 and had to enter my user password at one point. Would encourage a reasonable investment in further development and testing to optimize this script.

After the dialogue we had on bitcointalk, and in seeing the added value this script has for (the future of) biblepay, I have decided to vote 'yes' on this proposal. I also want to incentivise future development of the script.

I wonder where this project will be a year from now
