[BENCHMARKING SHA256] GHASH.IO vs MULTIPOOL.US

[allcoinminer]

Any one tested the profitability of GHASH.IO Merge mining vs MULTIPOOL.US multipool?
Their stats shows MULTIPOOL.US earns more. But in reality?

how many TH/s have you ? ... GHash.io work with "minimum difficulty to 16" ... and a good line (too many DOA for me).

ghash appears to only have four Scrypt coins. Multipool.us has more and is updated to keep up with them. I'd say that puts Multipool ahead?

Yes for scrypt you are correct. I was looking for SHA256.

Isn't multipool.us just a proxy to ghash.io for bitcoin/merged mining? The advantage, if there is one, would be the alt SHA256 mining when and if it is more profitable than bitcoin mining.

I think this is right (based on their site). Usually Bitcoin is the most profitable anyways...

Yes we do proxy to cex.io/ghash.io for our bitcoin hashrate.  That said, we only get a payout once per day (at the most) from cex.io, so the payout per GH has a little bit more variance than if you were to mine directly.

We've been on alts around 30% of the time over the past few days and we're beating pure BTC mining by about 10-20% on average.
