Another idea: on the coin balances tab, how about a check box for "Automatically cash out daily BTC earnings"
You could just set a threshold of 0.001 on your BTC settings  My apologies if I am asking a question that has already been answered - I couldn't find an answer by skimming through the pages of posts, though: Is there any withdrawal transaction fee, like many pools do? (e.g. a 0.01 BTC withdrawal fee for withdrawals under 0.05 BTC) Thanks! Just a 0.0001 TX fee. |

Hmm... MNC is looking very ordinary. Might be time to flick it. What the pool really needs is another coin like ANC to pick up the slack when ANC goes to insane difficulty levels. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be one...
Yea we might hit MNC with a profitability hit, sucks we cant add FTC / NVC because our hash isn't quite there just yet, but we should have another couple of "cash cow" coins soon. Any update on a NA server?
No ETA on this yet. Focus at the moment is upping the performance of our profits. |

Profit...ability... slipping away... Looking at the daily Est, down almost 25% from yesterday  And still dropping... Well it isn't helping that one of the sites we use for trading is pretty much not working heh |

For the love of God, stop mining MinCoin and HoboNickels
We will look into hitting them with a profitability hit. We are working on some bigger things tho atm! |

I'm giving your pool a try now for a few days and I really like it. It's also good to see the pool operators are very active on the forum and working hard to make the pool better every day. Let's hope the increasing line in profits continues When I look at the site stats. I notice that every rond of HoboNickels (HBN) is really disappointing. I also see that HBN has a Proof of Stake component. Some time ago I tried mining AndroidsTokens on one of Torzsy's pools and had the same disappointing results. Reading around on the forums I found that stratum has a problem with POS coins and I allerted Torzsy to this problem. He looked into it and came to the same conclusion, after which he posted this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291148.msg3142409#msg3142409I think we have the same problem with HBN. Please look into it and give the coin some extra handicap before switching to it. Maybe you can PM Torzsy about his findings. My communication with him was very good and he seemed like a nice guy. Even after I stopped mining at his pool  Keep up the good work. Hmm, will take a look into that, good find. Thanks for mining with us! |

The new "official" payout time is 3:00 UTC // 11:00 EST.
So today's payout was sent out 2 hours early (22 hours total of mining time) but we still saw the best profit day since Hashcows was launched!
The cow's are happy! Moooo

Enough already! Just passed the 1 hour mark between NVC and FTC for zero return  edit: just noticed multipool is throwing 800Mh/s at FTC and not doing any good either! We disabled it for now, FTC and NVC are very profitable we just need to figure out if we have enough hash/luck on our side to make it worth it. We would only need to farm 1 FTC block every 45~ mintues for it to be worth it Feedback welcome on this guys! |

nearmiss and aTriz, if you have time, please check up on ANC. I don't see it going green in the past 30 round list, but it's a big chunk of the estimated earnings. We could be in for a disappointment when (if?) it finally gets traded.
ANC is working just fine, just takes longer than the other coins to mature. It's very profitable for us though tried to cash out to my BTC wallet. Pressed the "cash out" button several times but all that happened was the page reloaded... BTC address and password are correct.
EDIT: Figured out a work around. Set the BTC auto payout threshold to 0.001 and the payment went through. Hope I don't have to do that every time though..
That's odd, we will take a look at it. |

Back up, sorry about that guys.

I don't remember if I read it here or another thread and please don't laugh  but someone suggested that it may be actually more profitable to mine the 2nd most profitable coin... Think it through. Middlecoin and Multipool are both running at nearly 1 Gh/s EACH. This pool will be around 300 Mh/s in the next day or so. That's around 2.3 Gh/s of hashing not counting the multi coin pools I don't know about. Middlecoin and Hashcows mine and auto exchange, probably at the same time. Multipool has a rudimentary auto exchange system via Cryptsy and will no doubt soon move to a more integrated system like here and middlecoin. So what is happening is that a shit load of newly matured coins are hitting the exchanges at the same time and the expected price goes south and we get a less than expected return. The other side effect of massive hashing power hitting a coin is that its difficulty goes through the roof making it a short lived love affair. If a pool was milking the 2nd best coin, the profitability would still be high and the difficulty would rise more slowly. The kicker is that when the coins were auto traded you woudn't be competing with a gazillion coins from the other sites... I know it an idea from left field but it might be worth trialling. Thoughts? We actually talked about implementing something like this, though I guess it's a slippery road, it would be great in some situations, but in others I would think it's still worth it to be on the most profitable. I guess we could do it on a coin by coin basis, maybe something we can look into, but there's a few more "important" things on our to do list, that you guys will enjoy |

Please anybody can provide us a BTC/MHash/Day estimate?
Simply tell us what is your hashrate , and what was your earnings in past 24hours?
tnx.
0.04 BTC for 2400 kh/s - mined for three days, that's the third day -- so a full cycle of daily coins. LTC would have been .043 -- ~7% more Sounds about right, LTC siting at 400%~ profitability, it's tough to beat it. On the upside, we did decide to disable EMD, ALF, DMD, GDC. This will improve payouts from now on and once we get that stale/reject issue sorted out, I don't see why we wouldn't be beating out LTC in the near future  Also we are thinking of adding Feathercoin on the pool, opinions on that? |

I threw almost 8mh/s at this last night, it's still going, and i'm still getting crazy amounts of stales, 6-10%, doesn't look like it's worth it compared to just straight mining LTC, but i'll see tonight after it's been a full 24hrs.
Glad to have you, sorry you're experience with hashcows hasn't been great so far, LTC currently is pretty damn profitable and the alt coin market prices are pretty low. Once we get a few more tweaks/changes under our belts, I assure you the cows will return even better profits than we are seeing now. We are bouncing around some ideas and we should have some ways in the future to resolve the stale issues people are having. |

GDC still keeps coming up a fair bit, again with very minimal returns ... any chance you could handicap it further or remove it for now? It seriously earns less than half the second lowest earning coins from what I've seen. These rounds are all roughly 10 mins long, 817 MEC 00:09:34 0 0 8 600 0 0 0.000046 BTC

813 ALF 00:09:42 26 1300.1 60 3000.4 21.11 1278.99 0.00004 BTC
812 GDC 00:09:48 7 7000 0 0 188.68 6811.32 0.000005 BTC
811 CGB 00:10:32 0 0 3 7.5 0 0 0.000032 BTC As you can see both times GDC came up it earned next to nothing ... this is at approx 440KH/s. Other than that pretty happy with the pool ... keep up the good work. Yep, we are going to handicap it even further, maybe even to 100% so we won't see it again. Other than that the pool is doing well, we are looking at a few different options to help fix the issues with the stales. |

After mining a bit, I found several issues: - some coins do poorly than others. - some coins produce 0.000001 BTC/sec while others only produce 0.00000033 BTC/sec - does the algo take into account that we are mining the coin and adds it into the profitability calculation? Cause it switches coins a lot. - Some coins got high Orphans = lost production: Can this be reduced?

Some suggestions to add to the site: - Show Difficulty rate, Reject rate % and Coin Exchange rate per round to understand why we got lower coin. - if not factored in, modify algo to exclude our hash rate for current coin profitability rate. - Extend the rounds to at least 10-15 minutes, the 8 minute rounds makes us lose about 1-1.5 minutes/round and in 60 minutes it can add up to 10.5 minutes of downtime/hour vs only up to 6 minutes/hour or 252 minutes/day vs 144 minutes/day. Getting an extra 2 hours of hashing would be better. if each round was 30 minutes, then we would only lose 72 minutes/day and gain 3 hours of hashing per day. - Add some coins like COL, ADT, IFC (high coin amount/block) - Add Block Finder reward (2-5%/block): It would be nice to reward those who actually find a block. Keeps them happy and continue to mine here. - Add a separate SHA256 Coin Multipool miner - if not factored in, add 24-48 hours of coins/sec per coin type into profitability calculation. This will deem which would be more profitable to mine at the time. - As for removing coins, only MNC is on my list. I mine EMD, GDC and GLD so I would like them there too. Great post with lots of good ideas and info. will look into it! |

Seems like coins with lower difficulties seem to have worse returns... we will hit these coins with a bigger hit within the hour. We should not see these for a bit |

I hear you guys like coins?? Welcome our newest cow!
- Worldcoin
We are monitoring all the coins currently on our list and future candidates to bring you guys the best possible profits.
Mooo on!
WDC goes OK. From what I've seen I think you should be taking a close look at GDC,EMD and DMD. The appear to be consistently poor performers.. GDC, EMD and DMD have all been hit with a huge profitability hit %, which means you wont be seeing them nearly as often. (hardly ever) |
