[ANN][The Original Multipool - Scrypt/SHA256/Scrypt-N/X11] multipool.us

Here are the potential logos:

I like #3, it will look good in any size,
# 1 is not going to look good as a Browser Tab Icon
# 2 is ok but round it more common and generic.

I would also make #3 look like more like a pie chart from Multiport Section of the website

API is enabled, please let me know if you think anything should be changed.

To get pool data, use URL: http://multipool.in/api.php or http://multipool.in/api.php?curr=currency (ltc, ftc, wdc, etc.)

To get user data, use URL: http://multipool.in/api.php?api_key=...  (your API key on account details page)

Looks great, playing around with an android app to display the data. Do you have a logo?

I have three, actually.  I need to pick one soon and put it on the site.

Didn't get as much done as I wanted to this weekend.  Also another user requested some API changes which should hopefully make a little more sense..  Check out api2.php.

Awesome (I like #1), I threw together a stats pulling app for android https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42046061/Multipool.apk is the beta test link, I have a market account and can throw it in there when its done.
The user data is still json encoded, but it works! Ill tackle the json user data tomorrow.

(hopefully) Last minor change to the API structure!

#2 looks the best to me, but I don't like the irregular shape of the central white part.

I should mention that the logo artwork was donated by user esquinato.  I'm not sure if he's active on these boards or not.

out of curiosity how would being on the multipool that picks the currency help unless you're selling your coins when you mine them? This would also be difficulty with it being PPNS right? What am I missing?

You're essentially right. I'm mostly on it because it jumps around and so I'm mining many different coins over time; think of it as spreading yourself out over investments.

Coin profitability fluctuations are mostly due to difficulty changes.  Price fluctuation plays a small part.  Unless a coin crashes in value you should be able to sell it for close to what it was when we were mining it.  Most of our coins pay out after 20 confirms or less.

I'm planning to implement an "actual profitability" for last 24h but there are some challenges involved.

ooh thats nicer, are you going to move that to api.php or should i point to api3.php?

I was going to move it to api.php as long as everyone was OK with that.

I'm ok with that. There is still Pool Hashrates section, which is redundant with the same data under currencies.
Alternately it (pool hash rates and other pool related data) could be separated to an alternative API call for Pool Data only, so it could be accessed by other services without a need to create a user inside the system.

I don't think Alive is needed inside Workers table - if hash rate is 0, the worker is not alive.

[kslavik]

I noticed a small bug:

Inside Pool Stats->MNC:

Sum of "TOP 10 HASHERS" valid shares is 2x of the "Current N (Round Shares)" (on the same page) (probably due to different difficulties used)

Please increase "Current N Shares" or decrease "Valid Shares". The sum of the Current Round Valid Shares should be equal to Current N (Round Shares).

Thank you

The api returns pool data only, if there is no api key in the URL.

Specific coin data can also be returned by using https://multipool.in/api.php?curr=ltc (for example)

Go for it! Android app is alive and out there now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_david_morley.Multipool
Ill put up a new version using api.php, I pushed up using api3.php.

OK, api3 is still there.  I copied it to api.php.

tiny favor? can you put " around all zero's? You have it on everything else that is a zero value except estimated_rewards and it throws up errors since its not consistant

Would you consider implementing the BTC-E API into your site? That would allow us to directly or automatically sell our altcoins at the market value, or set our own prices and sell them at those prices as they are generated. Could be done if you implement a limit of 1 coin of whatever currency before your sell order goes live, and sell order can only be increased by 1 coin intervals.

That'd be a rather large project that I don't have time for at the moment..  If someone is willing to implement it in PHP I would consider adding it.

Ahh I supposed that makes sense in theory. I haven't done any practical testing to verify it, but thanks for your input! I'll look for the actual profit in the future. What are the challenges you're hitting?

Why does coinchoose and coinwarz disagree with your predictions of profit?

I'm about 75% done the back-end of a stand-alone auto-sell service. In Ruby. The only obstacle I'm facing is transaction fees. Transfer 1 brand-new LTC and it takes a 10% fee! I'd probably just set a 10 coin threshold, otherwise it'd take a ton of confirms to eliminate the transfer fee. I hope at the pool, the transaction fees for those taking low-threshold payouts is applied to them alone and not shared across the pool...

The fact the exchanges don't (from what I can see) offer a withdraw API (for the sold BTC) adds a bit extra risk to the equation too. I'd be giving out my local BTC, and manually refilling from the account.

Maybe the simplest would be to just let have users enter their API and private keys (of a new account only used for this), and they send their mining payouts directly to the exchange, and the service just executes the auto-sells. They can then withdraw their BTC at their leisure.
