[ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com

[Fletch]

Why do some people have a lot of unexchanged coins, and why do some people have not? I did have a lot of them, but they are exchanged.

My guess is that it depends on which coin he/she has been mining. As noted by h20, the EU server is mining doge only and I'm guessing there's autotrading setup for that coin. For users on the US server though, more "exotic" coins are being mined and in those cases, the trading is done manually and less frequently.

I love this pool, and this is not a criticism, but a question...

Is it really worth bouncing around, changing which coin we're mining so regularly?  Last hour or so it seems to have changed every couple of minutes or so on average. I'm assuming everyone else's cgminer is similar to mine, in that it takes 20-30 seconds to regain its full hashrate after a stratum disconnection....   This seems like an unneccessary waste.

And yes, I know I can use the EU pool if I don't want the coin changing, and yes I know a fix is coming apparently.

Is there any "minimum time" set for mining each coin H20 ?

Thanks.

I understand!

For now i have configured 2 servers, one on eu and the other one at vs. Powered them together, so I should get a nice overview for the best choice :-).

I've got a question for H20...Do you have a preference or does it affect the pool in anyway as to what server we mine on?  Would there be any pros/cons for me to load balance my rigs across the US and EU servers?

The US pool is more profitable, but has frequent disconnects. So if you have a large ping to the US server, or cgminer is unstable because of the disconnects, use the EU server. Otherwise stick with the US server.

The EU server is constantly on DOGE for the time being.

The disconnects will be fixed within a few days. They occur on coin switches, and I'll be rolling out some new code to do it cleaner.

Would be nice if you could post the server address in either the first forum post, or on the front page of middlecoin.com

Doge? I was already mining doge. There are 18 more profitable coins in coinwarz by now!
I'm from EU, mining with US server until EU server starts switching.

Profit switching, or multipools are often wrong.

Better to just mine what YOU think will be profitable.

The human brain > multipools.

However multipools are good for people who just want to leave their miners and go out and have a life.  But for the rest of us, we are getting rich by actively researching and finding out what coin will do better in the future, something a multipool does not do.

Manual trading?
If that's the case, that's a big negative.

By the time he gets around to it, the coin might be worthless-
If he is auto-trading on the EU server, I'm not sure why the same isn't done for the US. We all have a lot of unexchanged that are just sitting.

Middlecoin is for people who want to make BTC today, and not hope to make lots of bitcoin a year from now. There are miners and then there are speculators. They are two different things.

Haha! Ok....

I guess the 1 USD you lose every day for using an automated multi-pool, which allows you to go out and have a life, is a pretty low cost of living. Enjoy you tech-cave Ryan, cya around!

Could H20 remove all the addresses without any hashing power? Or at least remove the ones that haven't mined on middlecoin for a certain amount of time... It takes forever to load the main page and that's because there are so many addresses to load. More than half of the addresses on the page do not have any hashing power.

I have been mining with just short of 1.8 MH/s for a couple of weeks now, but I haven't gotten anything since the 28th of December. Which is odd, because I have been getting 0.02-0.03 every day. On the middlecoin.com website, it says my address has 0 mh/s, but CGminer reports accepted shares every few seconds.

What is happening?

[MiMiMiner]

Bad day, today? What do you think guys??

Sure looks like it at my end at least. but yesterday was ok too..

[Kluge]

Immature & Unexchanged mountain is pushing the upper bound of my graph higher. If it goes much further, I'll barely be able to see the actual balance line.

There must be a reason why his holding on to the coins, for example would you rather dump the coins for 0.000081 or 0.000089.. offcourse the later and this may be the difference of $10-$40 when all you had to do was wait . No work from your end other than wait. Not bad I think, anyway I am just trying to see the positive side to it.

How would you feel if your first auto-switch pool to ever try was middlecoin and it was the 28th December? How would you feel if you decided to point your miner at it and since that day only left middlecoin for 1 day and guess what?? Made the best payout during the time OFF middlecoin doing it on my own ...

Guess where i am again.. Middlecoin... You probably call me crazy. Something is making me come back... I think its the ease and I just dont believe this is middlecoin otherwise why are all you people here , so I am waiting to see what you guys do here before I decide to leave I need to see atleast 1 decent return to feel satisfied actually since I have had bad payouts I would prefer atleast 3 decent returns in a row would be nice

I mean dont get me wrong even I will eventually crack but its going to take more than a few days of crap.

But yeh so you can think of me when you feel bad about your returns since the 28th

I would rather there be a cutoff. I am mining coins for $, not for investment.
That's my choice, not the pool owners.

I know what you saying, we all have our own preferences...Problem is this pool is run by the owner and we are riding it, the way he wants to do it... So if you want to do it your way you have to mine your way... Juggle the coins, Pool Hop , Exchange Etc....

You're correct. Its your choice to mine at middlecoin not the pool owners. Don't like it then leave.
