My miners have been switching flawlessly now. Please post your experience using the multiport.
I also fixed the code not to update the site until right when it does the switch. Previously this was happening 5 minutes early.

Mine are switching as expected.

I'm also going to be setting up a getwork proxy for the multiport only.

I have a sincere question, sorry if it has been asked before. But with this switching port (which I think is a great idea) it mines only what is worth the most at that point in time correct? What's the point if the coins are all up and down in value? Why not just mine what will be predicted to be worth the most over the time it would take to get a block mined so those of that are into quick sales can do that? Sorry again if this has all be covered!

I can't predict what will be worth the most over time, and people's opinions will differ as to that. The idea of the multiport is to serve the people who want to always mine the coin that's currently most profitable. It will save people time vs. starting and stopping miners with different configurations all the time.

Of course none of us have a crystal ball How does this system reward you if we keep bouncing between coins not long enough to actually solve anything? Does it pick up where we left off? I'm just trying to understand your system, not here to give you a hard time.

I'm just trying to understand your system, not here to give you a hard time. Well, typically coins become more profitable when their difficulty drops. It's usually not the result of market price fluctuation (although it can be, but the difficulty typically has a far larger effect). Don't forget, submitted shares do not 'build' toward anything. Each share is a random guess at the solution for the block. Once a new block is found on the network of a particular coin, all the work done on the previous block is null and void. So there is really no penalty for switching between coins. If the multiport goes from LTC to WDC, all it really means is instead of submitting random guesses for LTC you are now submitting them for WDC. A block should be found every X random guesses, on average. (X depends on difficulty)

DGC is now available on port 3343. I am not going to add this into the multiport config until we've done some testing and found a block so please feel free to test away!

I found a DGC block, not sure if it was a stale though.

When are you going to move it to the 7777 pool?

When it made the switch from MNC to LTC today, it threw off my miner completely. Now it's still mining (3k more shares) but is getting no credit for MNC *or* LTC, and the site claims I'm mining both with 0 shares. Restarted the miner with no luck now either. Prior to the switch from MNC -> LTC it worked flawlessly.
And I am using the port 7777.

Yeah, the DB got jammed up a bit, I had to restart everything.

So it looks like we've got another SXC fork going.. I'm seriously considering removing the coin at this point, I don't see it going anywhere and hardly anyone is mining it anymore.

I refuse to mine it so it's up to you.

can you add in logic to profitability calculation for number of stales? The faster coins like WDC and DGC have extremely high levels of stales, so the actual profitability is something like 60% of stated value.

WDC already has a handicap of 25% in the profitability calculation. I set the share difficulty at 16 for DGC so I was expecting fewer stales. I will figure out a number for DGC as well.

Starting DGC at 20% profitability handicap. I need everyone to let me know if your payouts are exceeding or coming short.
