I've been mining russianmafiacoin steadily for a few weeks now and will continue to do so.  If you really pay attention to coinchoose.com it is actually the most stable and consistently profitable coin with a reasonable difficulty (not like litecoin or bitcoin).  I was chasing around the newest/most profitable coins for a while but I think it is a waste of time and hashes.

I'm waiting on the update to p2pool so I can give that a shot.

its 2013 friend , Russia = Quality free market.

0.4.3 minor release planned for this weekend. Changes announce:

• GBT speedup up to 10 times, to make stratum pools more reliable under high tx/s rates;
• Stake generation statistics (available coins amount, current stake generation power) will be available through RPC;
• Coinstake inputs adding policy will be a little more aggressive for some cases.

0.4.3 will be compatible with 0.4.2 in terms of database format and protocol rules.

That's great! I'm looking forward to it.

• Coinstake inputs adding policy will be a little more aggressive for some cases.

I don't understand this one, what does it mean?

[Balthazar]

Additional stake generation options will be added. Currently the most of settings are hard-coded, but since 0.4.3 user will be able to change coinstake split threshold and another settings.

[BitJohn]

please add http://www.nvcpool.com to the list 0% fees.

Way to go! That sounds like it will make Proof of Stake mining more like "real" mining. Adjustable difficulty means that the difficulty will go up and down and therefore a PoS miner would like to be able to control when to release his coins for mining. Is this what you mean?

[Balthazar]

No, it's only coins selection policy. User will be able to tweak it.

P.S. Old builds removed from sourceforge.

Whoa, here's the first use for NVC (other than hoarding/trading): You can now tip Novacoins on Reddit!

This guy, for example, offers VISA cards for NVC:

Also litehosting accepts NVC.

sad thing there is nothing new for nvc p2pool.

[Balthazar]

Already has been tested a couple of new P2Pool variants, and as a result we convinced that p2pool the chain fork will be required.   An update will be published a few days later, this will include shares version switch rule (the planned version switch date is 1st June 2013).

Another small mmcfe pool available:

https://nvc.pmine.net/ - Stratum, EN UI, 0% fee PPLNS with payout after 120 confirmations.

[whitedragon]

Just fyi...I've been mining at big vern's nvcpool.com and it shows payouts after 520 confirmations.

So does that mean no p2pool?  Or just have to update client?

It will require p2pool client mandatory update for all current p2pool users.
