1  Economy / Marketplace / A program/bot that will buy on Bittrex when I put in the coin's ticker letters? on: January 09, 2018, 08:54:42 PM
I just need the thing to put in an order of a set amount of BTC at bittrex when I type in the letters and hit enter. There's gotta be something free out there, right? Or can anyone make one/connect me with someone? I'd also like to get it working on Binance and Cryptopia.
2  Bitcoin / Pools / Pool payment system immune to any kind of hopping? And clarity on ethics. on: November 19, 2017, 02:22:59 AM
Or what pool is immune? I mean even to things like block sniping or variable hashrate?


And what is your opinion on the ethics? I'm thinking about doing it in some form to maximize what I can earn, but I don't want to do something that's wrong.


I guess I'm stuck between 1) the systems were made to stop pool hopping of proportional pools and if they still have flaws that allow people to make more from the system than consistent miners, maybe in the spirit of things they shouldn't be exploited.


But then again, 2) it's just another small disadvantage to a system (like pool fees) that we all agree to use for the main advantage (consistent payments).


And when other people jump in on a block to me, well it's unfortunate but I've never felt it was wrong of them to do. That's just the way the system is.


It's also just rewarding people more who are working smarter or harder and a little less if you want to run a constant rate all the time at your pool. But then again that's not meant to be a possibility, so in the spirit of things... could it be wrong?


Another thing is, several pools have $1M-5M USD a day going through right now. Even if I push a lot of power through, if I make an extra couple thousand bucks a day, no one's really going to notice my extra earnings. But they are *extra* earnings and passive miners will lose a fraction of a percent of their income to that on top of pool fees. But is it my right to use the system any way I see fit, so long as it's not actually cheating and stealing like manipulating the server through some malicious process/injection? (Which is not what I'm trying to do at all.. would never do something explicitly wrong).


Another thing is, if I want to test some of these more advanced pool hopping techniques or I want to do some block sniping, no one's going to care if I make an extra $5 on a block worth $120k, but principally I'm still making more so is it even wrong to test these things, or again is it just part of the system?


I've been in a moral quandary for a few days now. I've read a lot of people's thoughts on the original pool hopping scheme of jumping between many pools after 43.5% and a lot seem to hate it and are very emotional and a lot of people say it's just their right to make the most of their investment and they're putting in the extra work to do it; that it should be expected and if you don't like it you need to go to a pool with a payout scheme that makes inconsistent mining for greater returns less viable to protect your interests.


Thanks for all your input.
3  Bitcoin / Pools / Multipool.us Port 8888 going dead on coin switch on: November 07, 2017, 09:20:58 PM
Every time it switches from BTC to DGB it goes dead, then comes back to life when it goes back to BTC.

I have tried setting the worker to Vardiff, and fixed (262xxx for 100-150 TH/s), and that didn't work.

I tried putting the password as d=262xxx and that didn't work (not actually xxx just can't remember).

I can mine DGB on it's own port (3360) just fine.

Anyone successfully running on 8888 or have any ideas?

Kind regards,

CA
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Which profit-switching pools pay in BTC? on: October 28, 2017, 08:55:32 PM
So far I'm aware of zpool, miningpoolhub, mining dutch, wepaybtc and prohashing. Are there any others?

I have Scrypt, X11 and SHA256 power.
5  Economy / Service Discussion / Alternative to Nicehash? Buying or selling hashing power on: October 22, 2017, 11:17:57 PM
I like nicehash. Anywhere else I could buy additional power from or sell it to?

The cloud mining stuff with the 1-3 year contracts isn't what I'm looking for; I want to be able to place custom orders for as little as 24 hours and cancel anytime like on nicehash.

Thanks!
