I love DustCoin.com - it provides a lot of good info. However, I thought it would be nice to have a basic site, tied to pricing on one exchange with a simple JSON API access to get the data (in case I wanted to write a script to switch my minors). Here it is - http://www.coinchoose.com/. I only have the SHA-256 and as soon as I can find complete blockchains online or the clients sync for a few other currencies - I will add others to it. Suggestions are welcome. |

Please excuse the two noob questions:
Is a higher or lower ratio % more profitable?
How are you going to quantify the ratio for scrypt/ltc mining such that it's useful in comparison to the others?

Good point - clarified on the site. Higher % = better.
As far as the other question, that is also a good point. This is basically a chart saying, all things equal, what currencies are more efficient to mine. I have to think about how to introduce scrypt in a smart way.

is your code "gentle" with the remote exchange webservers you use (vircurex) ? [i mean "caching data locally for a while, not sending billions of requests to remote exchange webservers] it's probably a coincidence, but .. a few seconds after you announced your website, vircurex went down  |

Yes - it is gently. It does not probe Vircurex each time someone loads the site. It periodically refreshes a table with the pricing info.

Very Nice.
Does your calculation of profitability take into account the average time interval to generate a block of coins?

Yes, it's a chance, but without the strengthening of alternative infrastructures, BTC will crush this germ soon.

PPC? - Should become the first independent altcurrency!

It's based solely on the difficulty, but that is a good thought. How would you figure out the average time to generate a block? |

It should also take into account the number of coins generated in a block. For coins like ppcoin this changes on every block. |

Sorry - I should clarify - it does do this. However, due to a recent break in PPCoin's code, the amount of coins in each block is not working correctly on the site. I contacted the devs and hopefully will fix that to.
All I need to do is find a blockexplorer that gives me the difficulty, coins per block and generated coins, and I can easily add new alt crypto coins.

I have a question. PPC profitability seems to be diverging from Coinotron lately. The difficulty is the same, the price is nearly the same. But what about reward? I know PPC is dynamic, but CoinChoose have it "stuck" at 897. Is this value hardcoded?
Regards,
Eric

I am not aware of any ppcoin issue right now, are you saying you have problem getting mint amount from ppcoind? Or is this a problem with your website backend? |

Latest git source of ppcoin (as of a few days ago) was getting a mint amount of 0. So right now I am hardcoding (sort of) the ppcoin mint value). Was out of town so it lagged.
Adding all other SHA coins I can (provided they are listed on Vircurex), soon.

When you run ppcoind getinfo, my newmint shows zero. On ppcoin's IRC channel it was confirmed this looks to be a bug.

newmint is what you have mined yourself that haven't matured. To see the block mintage you need to use ppcoind getblock <blockhash> |

"newmint" refers to immature, newly mined coins (<520 blocks old). To calculate the block reward use something like this (python from dustcoin.com/mining source): coin.block_reward = 9999 * COIN / pow(coin.difficulty, 0.25)

Yeah, dust method is easier, you only need to get proof-of-work difficulty via 'getinfo' or 'getdifficulty'
