Hello,

i see pools that chose automatically the best coins, but only for scrypt coins. Then there is cryptoswitcher and so on. But is it worth it at all for Asics? I see zetacoin appearing in coinchoose and in 24 hours the advantage it had against bitcoins is eaten up. So are there ways to earn more with sha256 mining than bitcoins + merged mining?

It only looks like its not worth to spend time on it since all coins better than bitcoin are beaten down fast, so that bitcoin + merge mining seems the most stable now. Am i wrong?

Thanks!
Sebastian

This is a great question.

What are the best Sha256 coins to mine with our aging hardware?
I'd personally not want  to keep switching between coins but find one and stick with it. Ideas?

Thx,
IAS

You have to choose a coin still out of exchanges and use its low diff to gain big numbers of it.
Remember - every sha256 coins goes to exchange lately!
XJO is good candidat!

Cool... unfortunately too late for me but im sure you will get a lot users when this works and is known more. I see many that dont want the hassle to use cryptochanger and similar things. So your offer is ideal. You might post in such threads and ask them to test it... Smiley

Last I saw with mining profitability, BTC is still the best. So, mining BTC and then buying other CC's with BTC is the most cost effective way. Someone correct me if that has changed.
Of course, price says nothing for supporting another network and getting a CC stable and such.

Some of the alts go over BTC at times.  There is so much hashpower out there right now that coins with fast difficulty adjustments or low diff in general get quickly mined and go back to a higher diff.

Ah, thanks.

What is very interesting is that, due to "old" hardware becoming less effective for BTC, you are seeing (I think) a growing support for alt coins. (Even if as a hobby). It is sort of like a bunch of Gremlins poppin up all over. This is really nice as these Alt coins (e.g. Namecoin) might really server a valid function. Also, as ways to move in and out of BTC without going back to Fiat (there by avoiding taxes, at least currently).
I think we may be surprised what pops up regarding the alt coins. Maybe not real soon, but in the BTC future, they will be imo. And it is just a matter of time till one comes out that is really unique and does something shockingly well.

Where are these threads?

Thats the threads that come to mind for me:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=146675.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152515.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=172121.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248173.0

Its all about finding the most profitable coin or software that automatically choses the best coin. I would have taken an offer for sure that allows me to automatically mine the best coin without setting anything up except a pool login.

Well I don't really want to spam my pool in threads that are about software designed to do the same thing.  Coinchoose already links to us, maybe I should change my sig to mention the ASIC port though.

Changing sig is a good idea. In the list of coins threads it wouldnt be spam. In the software threads it is probably. Though i think 2 posts wont lead to an angry mob. You can simply offer to try your pool and test its new feature. Maybe call it betatest where you want to be informed about wrong happenings and everyone understands your correct intention... Smiley I mean in those threads are the pros that can tell you when something doesnt work right...

Plus a huge press release next week is due to make any coins mined now increase in value.
