The TRC difficulty (and profitability) is again very different from the other sites (15,996 vs. 52,368). Why is that? EDIT: Lol, FloridaBear was the first to ask.  The TRC difficulty on CoinChoose has not changed in hours, seeing TRC calculates a new difficulty every hour, this is clearly broken. Hmm. - it is from a block block explorer for TRC. I am looking at it right now. |

Fixed - it was using old URL. I am implementing a three level redundancy on these numbers so this shouldn't happen again.

You might want to consider eliminating TRC from the table. Difficulty adjusts very quickly, and it seems like Coinchoose has been stuck at 15996.27 for a long time. I'm showing current difficulty as 59,000, putting TRC at 44%, not 177% as coinchoose is reporting.
You either need much quicker difficulty polling for TRC, or just remove it. I long ago determined that TRC is virtually never profitable to mine because as soon as the difficulty drops low enough (~25K), miners jump on it and it goes back up.
Just my two cents.
It was broken. I check every 30 seconds or so and update (normally), but smooth out TRC a bit due ot its crazy movements. |

Right now TRC diff is over 93,000 and Coinchoose shows half of it: 46,247. |

I think CoinChoose is trying to a show a readable chart on what the profit levels would be if someone mined TRC exclusively. The more profitable way to mine TRC is to hop the chain when difficulty falls below some threshold level. I'm currently hopping TRC with a custom script, my rigs are running two instances of cgminer and the script constantly decides on which instance the GPUs are enabled. USB devices might not work with this scheme, though.

For the first time in quite a while now, BTC is once again the most profitable coin to mine if you're merged mining. Thought it was interesting to note!

This website rules, but I'm missing one thing: reward in BTC. So just reward*Best price Anyway, good job |

Thanks for adding YAC but I think that you should specify in the algo column that this is not a regular Scrypt coin. What's the official name again, Scrypt-N or scrypt-jane?

Is YAC a useful coin to have here? It's not a usual Scrypt coin, so it can't be directly compared to any other coin, is my understanding. The only way to mine it is to CPU mine (currently) so you can do it in addition to any other coin you're mining.

YAC information is wrong, but funnily enough it balances out. The reward is not fixed 100, it's around 15-16 right now per block and changing in time. The hashrate thanks to using variable N in the scrypt-jane implementation is however ~6x higher than scrypt mining. Therefore the two factors balance each other out and it's indeed ~4x more profitable to mine than BTC right now. Though only for cpu miners (and possibly the rumored unofficial gpu miners)

This is the kind of issue I've mentioned, profitability involves unavoidable assumptions about the type of hardware being used to do the mining.

On second thought - until there is a GPU way to mine it that is comparable, it does not belong here (or there is a easily mathematical way to figure out the block reward which it seems like there is not). I am removing it for now. |

Added a table using LTC as the basis for profitability. Not much use now, but may be one day....

These types of sites really assisted in making it a race to the bottom. Now that they are popular one just needs to guess which coin might spike in price as everyone just refers to these types of sites and drives the price down and diff up. Making them rather pointless.
So who will take a guess which coin might be double the profit of btc next month? :-)

Sorry, I don't understand, that number seems to be changing every couple of minutes but I thought Terracoin diff was adjusted only once per hour. How does it work exactly? |
