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

[ckoeber]

So many people hawking wafflepool.com and http://www.clevermining.com/ is so much better.

If you WERE going to leave middlecoin I'd go there.

Or both, for failover and redundancy.  I have my cgminer.conf set to send 30% each to Middlecoin East and West, 20% to Wafflepool, and 20% to Clevermining.

Which should ensure that no miner ever sits around waiting for work, two pools can simultaneously drop off the net without affecting more than a day's profits, etc.

Hardware stable and auto-healing: check.  Redundant pools: check.  Ongoing work: verifying deposits every couple days.  *feet up* *beer in hand*.

Interesting; I didn't know you could set percentages. I'll check that out.

OK clever clogs.  Before you get drunk, what's the average payout vs. just straight middlecoin?

No, I want the pool to be 100% stable. It's plenty big enough to work now, adding tons of little miners who don't have 50MH each just causes a lot of server traffic.

As the owner of a brick-and-mortar company that does work for businesses, as opposed to individuals, and mostly decent-sized corporations, there is something to this big miner vs small miner thing.

If I were to start a pool, honestly, I'd probably design it to attract larger miners (10MH+) and discourage smaller ones.  Providing support to a small number of large customers is SO much easier and more lucrative than a ton of small ones.

ALL coins are going to be down considerably today.

Doge is up actually.

Isn't that what Middlecoin has been mining the most anyway?

Dog is down. Cat is up (quite a lot at the moment).

Waiting for mouse, gold fish, chickens and other pet coins to join the party.

I haven't done the math it'd take to really say "I made $x more or less load-balancing."  Just eyeballing it, they're all in the same ballpark, all have fairly frequent technical problems, are all unpredictable over short periods of time.  And, oddly, do NOT necessarily move in lockstep... presumably because of the highly variable lag between receiving a cgminer share and converting it to confirmed Bitcoins.

I just got tired of trying to figure out who was best and figured "Together they'll all average X BTC/Mh/day, keep all my miners busy all the time, and besides I have other shit to do."

I feel the same way. Maybe I am the odd one out here but middlecoin for me has overall been pretty stable.

3/4 of normal speed. I'm loosing 10 MH/s. Shit. All Rigs are ok.
Pointed to middlecoin.com for best server choose. I think it's EU.

Ps>I think h2o soon will lost all miners with this kind of beta testing on is. -(

i have the same problem, should be on ~11mh/s, on about 8mh/s, all rigs ok, and on the eu server. where's tealover?

if you are not being sarcastic then
hashrate on site is a estimate based on how many shares you submit per min or hour. Submitted shares vary. I mine at 290khash/s but it shows anything between 180-390 khash/s.

Could do it with fees that vary based on average MH/s... Problem is people who have the MH/s, however, are also renting it out, thus they may have 25MH/s for a few hours, only to drop to 4 when most of their stuff is rented. Keeping things stable for 100-200 "big" users is a lot easier than designing a DB that doesn't bog down when there are thousands of simultaneous requests.

I think H20 took the system down for maintenance; part of making the pool more stable.

That makes sense. You actually are a clever clogs.
