Title: www.multicoinpool.org now supports YACC and 1CR as exploratory coins
Post by: Cassey on April 29, 2014, 08:25:40 PM
Multicoinpool.org has recently added both YACC and 1CR to its exploratory coin option.

Multicoinpool is primarily a "for profit" pool that shifts between the most profitable coins in its databases.  It supports both SHA256 and Scrypt coins that are marketed on the Cryptsy exchange and features both direct payment and auto-trade capability.  The pool operator monitors the overall pool hashrate and only selects coins that can be potentially mined within 2 hours - enabling it to compete with larger pools by mining lesser known coins.

Daniel, the developer, has heavily modified the base MPOS environment to provide this and a number of other unique features, like profitability charts that explain the why and how coins are selected.

New to Multicoinpool is "explorer" coins.  These are coins that do not meet the requirements outlined above, but that the pool supports by request so that its customers can "one stop shop".  Currently included coins include both YACC and 1CR as well as DGC.  I believe the eventual plan is to allow selection of explorer coins as a percentage of hash:  e.g.  You will be able to state that you want, for example, 80% of your hash going to maximum profitability and 20% of your hash going to explorer coins.  Currently however, explorer coins are enabled by worker.  If any explore coin is enabled, that worker will focus solely on that coin.  If multiple explorer coins are selected, the worker will randomly pick one every 7 minutes, balancing the overall work between them over time.

Other explorer coins are expected to be added soon, with CGA being the next likely one.

In general, it is always recommended that if your using pools, you use more than one either in backup mode or in rotation.  I personally prefer rotation since this helps balance loads and spreads block finds out - making for a better coin network with less chance of forking.

Very interesting, I'm a big fan of your coins and also CGA, I will look into mining here. Only have 1MH though.

Brokedummy -

That MH rate would be greatly appreciated on multicoinpool.org.  If that is all from one worker, just turn both coin switches on and it will time balance between them (or, of course, just select your favorite!)
