If you say it's coming, that's fine by me. Thanks for the reassurance.

It sounds like I should be concerned at this point that I've seen no final-payout transactions on my Gamma address, DeadTerra? I received the two partial payouts in February and March without a problem...

Yep, using two instances of Cryptoswitcher using the same key file is going to run you into difficulty. As a short-term fix, you can create a new API key on BTCE for each instance of Cryptoswitcher, and then make multiple copies of Cryptoswitcher.py. In each copy of Cryptoswither.py, change the keyfile used on line 149 to a separate instance of the key file.

Fork it on GitHub, push to your personal repository, and start submitting pull requests. If I like what I see, it's very likely I'll give you rights on the main repository (I have already given one other person rights).

What errors are you getting? There's error handling when sites are down, and everything else should work :/ A log file is a fine idea though.

Thank you for this, Kumala.

There already exists an option on the site to hide all pairs that don't involve BTC, if you're interested in decluttering the site.

I agree you're unlikely to be able to sell 'now' for the price you want, but putting an order at the price you want and waiting is usually successful. In the last day, I've successfully traded BQC/IXC, YAC/PPC and FTC/FRC, for example. I am not going to be able to find a market elsewhere that allows me to do that.

I found this last night in the Vircurex announcement thread. There has been no such announcement on the main site, despite the imminent changes. I for one am strongly against these changes, but I thought a greater visibility for this incoming change was required. I would be interested in knowing how many other people feel the same way; there's already a topic about this in another subforum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=213302.new), but I thought it warranted one here too.

I've emailed customerservice@vircurex.com letting them know my opinion on these changes, and I suggest that anyone who feels strongly about it do also. 'The need to restructure our screen layout' is just about the worst justification possible - form should follow function, not vice versa. As I posted in the other thread, the ability to trade any/any is the major reason why I use VirCurEx, and I regard this ability as the distinguishing feature of VirCurEx. Should this ability be removed, I will be taking my custom elsewhere. I am sure I am not the only one.

The fact this hasn't been announced on the site itself is pretty bad. I would also like to register my disapproval. Wanting to sort out the screen layout is a particularly bad justification. Most of the trading pairs are hidden by default once logged in, anyway. Just don't show them on the main page, and have them as opt-in for display on a per user basis.

EDIT: To clarify, the ability to trade any/any is the major reason why I use VirCurEx, and I regard this ability as the distinguishing feature of VirCurEx. Should this ability be removed, I will be taking my custom elsewhere. I am sure I am not the only one.

Worldcoin added.

When poolhopping was a problem on PPS pools, making hopping easier meant that the underlying problem - pools using PPS methods - was solved, as pools moved to DGM, PPLNS, and the like. I don't know if there's an equivalent problem here that needs to be solved, but I made (and released) CryptoSwitcher to accelerate the process if there is, and help eke out the last few BTC from my remaining GPUs in the meantime.

I'd very much prefer not treating any coins as special cases. My understanding is that TRC changes every block, and so sites like Coinchoose do a moving average of the difficulty so that you're not jumping on and off repeatedly. I understand why this might not be desirable. I'll think about it, but I think it is unlikely that it will be implemented.

I'm getting this error too, both when submitting via vanityminer and on the website. When doing the latter, sometimes I can get 'Solution does not match the pattern'. I was working on the 1arieLh pattern, if you are able to look at logs and figure out what is going on.

Is YAC a useful coin to have here? It's not a usual Scrypt coin, so it can't be directly compared to any other coin, is my understanding. The only way to mine it is to CPU mine (currently) so you can do it in addition to any other coin you're mining.

The name of the variable in the config file has changed from 'mmNMC' to 'minenmc' to bring it in line with the other coins, regardless of their merged mining status.

For the first time in quite a while now, BTC is once again the most profitable coin to mine if you're merged mining. Thought it was interesting to note!

Replace the '100' in your key file with '101'. Basically, you've already used the '100' nonce, which has to be a continually increasing number. If you use it twice, then you get this error.

No real reason as far as I'm aware, I'm afraid. You should alter them to appropriate values for you, based on the pools and exchanges you are using, as well as your opinion on different coins (e.g. If you don't trust BTB, give it a large fee).

Vircurex seems to be down, incidentally.

A fix for this issue has been pushed by open5443 to the GitHub repository. If you git pull, then you will get the update.

Yeah, same here. I've tweaked how the config file is read now though, which will make it easier for me to add additional coins (thought it was hardly difficult as it was, just tedious. It's much harder for you

Why would this be of interest to you? It has fewer coins than dustcoin or Coinchoose, no API and no additional information. Unless you think that both dustcoin and Coinchoose are calculating things incorrectly, I can't see a reason.
