It's really easy just to setup a Crypsty account and point your address to payout and activate Autotrade(iv'e been doing it for a week now(still testing)). I understand that it may seem like it's harder than it is but it's not and the transparency and full control is a feature to be embraced not a hindrance. In the end(after some tweaking) you will have both LTC and BTC in your account on Crypsty where you can cashout daily just like Middlecoin. With the controls offered you can get better returns compared to a one size fit's all pool, if you just take some time to tweak. If everyone knew it was this easy everyone would do it.
A few tips...
1) set auto pay on Crypsty to the second one from the top(it almost always fills your sell order).
2) Set the pool Auto-Pay threshold differently depending on the coin. For example (3-4mhs rig) around 100 for SXC, but 400 for MEM. This will almost guarantee you never to hold for too long and bag hold. After all we are not in business of investing into these altcoins. We are basically selling our computational power at a set rate. I personally I do keep a few coins to speculate with and plan to accumulate low and sell higher(even it it takes months).
Cryptsy is having a shit ton of trouble right now and people are complaining about missing balances, deposits gone rogue, & support is missing in action!
Some of the regs are saying just wait it out but its not looking rosy by any stretch of the imagination!
Hopefully Cryptsy can get it together .. until then i think ill watch from a distance.
