CoinChoose - alternative site to show respective profitability of the alt coins

[roy7]

TRC is showing the right block #, but the difficulty is higher on your chart than the explorer/miners actually show it to be.

Given TRC's wild difficulty swings, some time agao I implemented a moving average for the difficulty calc so it shows a difference difficulty than the snapshot you see at other sites.  I think this is a bit more accurate because while mining the difficulty keeps swinging. 

Open to discussion, but unless TRC has stopped those swings, a snapshot will continue to be a bit inaccurate.

Just sent a small donation your way sal (txn: 5e6412c80c35db64c18f38b83fa44bd88a86511fec76b5cde8776fc261cba853).

I've only started referencing your site about a week ago, but it has served me well. I especially appreciate the LTC Profitability tab -- please continue to add new scrypt alts as new LTC markets come online.

I hope that everyone else who is using CoinChoose will consider donating too!

Thank you!!!

TRC will always tend to move around since difficulty is based on an exponential moving average and it adjusts on every block. Wouldn't your average profitability over the last 7 days capture the "averaged" version of the profitability and so you could report the live "at the moment" profitability with live difficulty figure? If people want an idea of the long-term profit in spite of the swings, they have the 7-day figure for that. (Is the 7-day profitability % based on actual difficulties or your averaged values?)

The problem is I really need a second column and then which one do I compared against?  Honestly, I debate between keeping the moving average or just removing TRC as it is a coin a profitability calc makes little sense since sixty seconds later the number is wrong.

If you aren't comfortable with the live figures, maybe leave them blank and only show the 7 day average?

Add Valuecoin, its on Coins-E and looks very profitably

When requesting a coin, it helps me out to post the link to the block explorer, plus the link to the thread for the coin.  I only add coins that have a public block explorer and with all these coins popping up sometimes even finding the official thread is a bit hard.

Well - comfortable with it for all other coins - so basically the chart would have one new column only populated by TRC while for all other currencies the other column would be populated

Wait for cache to update, but should be changed.

[sal002]

Yes, but it takes awhile for the caching system to update.

I see the issue - see the client was updated (didn't see it on the thread but it was posted on the website).  Working now to fix.
