[ANN][Pool][Profit-Switch][Optional Auto-Exchange per Coin][Vardiff] ~ Hashcows

[nearmiss]

We are proud to finally announce www.hashco.ws   [BETA]

Pool features:

Auto-Switch ~ this will automatically switch to the most profitable coin from our list which has 17 coins at launch! (Always actively looking to add new coins)

Optional Auto-Trade  ~ users will have the option to automatically exchange mined coin’s into BTC.  Not happy with the auto-trade results?  No problem, you can choose to keep and trade your coins on a coin by coin basis. Perhaps try keeping certain coins to trade yourself, while auto-trading the rest, or keep them all and exchange them at your leisure.  We give you the flexibility to choose how your coins are handled!

Vardiff ~ pool adjusts your share difficulty based on your speed, we are glad to provide this to our miners!

PPLNS ~ like payouts that span however long the current round is. (ex. Round 1 you mine 20% of the shares, you will earn 20% of the payout regardless of block details.).  The round could last 5 minutes or 5 hours, its as long as the current coin remains the most profitable.  If a round doesn't result in a found block, all shares are rolled into the next round.  Work is never lost!  Every share submitted to the site results in a payout in some form.

Interface ~ Clean, Simple layout designed for ease of use. Round by round stats showing what coin was mined, how many blocks where solved, and what your estimated payout is.

Active Team ~ you can always find us on IRC: freenode.net  #hashcows or here on bitcointalk

WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT:

The combination of the following (I believe) is unique:
- vardiff
- visible round by round stats and details of what coins are being mined
- optionally auto-trade coins; keep them all, auto-trade them all, or even more intriguing, keep some but auto-trade others!


Personal note:  I currently run a number of other active pools under the scryptmining.com domain.  These pools will continue to operate as they have been.  The launch of this service has no impact on the current pools (nor does it use or share any of the same systems or hardware), and everything will continue, business as usual.   Also, I've made a post or two in my time railing against this type of service, yet am now launching one. Should you wish to discuss this contradiction, feel free to drop me a pm or stop by irc, no need to pollute this thread

aTriz and I are proud to bring this pool/service to the community and will be actively looking for ways to improve things. If anyone finds any bugs or has suggestions, please feel free to post here or contact us privately.

*** Pool Updates ***

12/8/13
- New "Est. Unexchanged BTC tab"
10/20/13
- New Daily BTC/MH Graph @ https://hashco.ws/profits.html
9/30/13
- Added LTC coins! (Will evaluate which to add/drop)
9/25/13
 - Extended default round times to ~ 20 minutes unless another coin is X more profitable during that period.  Also increased frequency we poll for profitability. This should lead to some overall longer round times, but allow us to react quicker to sudden spikes in profitability of another coin.
9/21/13
- New official BTC payout time 3:00 UTC / 11:00 EST.
9/18/13
- Hashrates per worker added!
- A few underperforming coins have been dropped, some new added, and vardiff adjustments made across the board to help address stales.
9/17/13
- Estimated Daily BTC Earned added
9/15/13
- One total BTC payment added in ledger (instead of a bunch of micro payments)
9/13/13
- Pool LAUNCHED!!!

Moooooo +1

Seriously I'm using my 7990 on it now with these settings

Code:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum01.hashco.ws:8888  -u WorkerName -p Password --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256

I'm already starting to see my earnings!

Pointing my cash out addresses to cryptsy.

Thanks for this. I used middlecoin for a while, but I can't say I was 100% satisfied. Going to try your pool for a bit.

Edit: Extra ~22MH/s now pointed at your pool.

[CoinBuzz]

What's the profit/MHash/Day in BTC?

is there any estimate or experience ?

[Oldminer]

Nice range of coins..please add RED

Not yet, we are still fairly new with a low hashrate.  I'll try and get this data later today, I hope to have something on the site going forward, but keep in mind that because auto-trading is optional at our pool, and not just a yes/no flag for a user, but at a coin level, its not easy to estimate this kind of number.  We could say we earned X BTC and our hashrate was Y, but that doesn't factor in all the non-BTC coins users were paid out in!

[sapsan]

Can you split your big hashrate to small coins ?

[12gaFacelift]

I do not know who you are or where is the pool but until now for me you have one of the best setting for multi mining.

He owns number of altcoin pools.
This is an excellent presentation of merging of all those pools.

[nearmiss]

Thanks to those who have hopped on and tried things out.  

Please note:  The currently displayed 'Est. Pending Exchange' BTC value on the coin balances page is only taking the last 30 rounds into account.  So please don't panic if it seems low (or even seems to have decreased).  I'll have a fix for it shortly, and it has no actual impact on what your BTC payout will be (ie: you'll earn the btc you've accumulated across all rounds).  At this point its a display issue only, but an important one.


Edit:  This should now be cleared up.  Please let me know if you are still noticing any issues with that value.

What happened? I had 0.039 BTC on Balance and after "F5" I have 0.011. Where they gone? My login is "tgfq"

See my post directly above this, your looking at 'Est. Unexchanged Earnings'.   Its a display only problem which I'm fixing as we speak.

Ok, read, thank you. But where can I see a real balance. It is necessary to count my ~income for 24 hours.

BTC balances get moved from 'est. unexchanged earnings' to actual BTC you can cash out,  once daily (this may change in the future).  This is when you'd know exactly what you've actually earned, and the btc is free to do with as you please.   I'll probably run today's by hand sometime in the next few hours (I'd like to see Cryptsy get back online to get a few more trades pushed through before I run it).   Once things are rolling a bit more, this payout will be at a set time each day.

It's a pity. Ideal will never be. On the one hand a super pool, you can see everything, detailed statistics, and on the other hand can not calculate everything to estimate profitability. You can make statistics displays all the coins I have? Like this:

As far as rejects go, this pool is much better than middlecoin's 512 fixed difficulty.

[cannonfodder]

I agree. As much as he didn't want to hear it about lowering the diff, it did affect profitability there. Besides my dedicated miner, I use my desktop on occasion too when I'm not doing anything else with it, but at only 310 Kh/s it was pointless to use it at middlecoin.

Glad everyone is finding their experience with Hashcows pleasant. We will be looking over some of the suggestions you guys are making and will see if it's something we can work on implementing.

We already have hit over 70 mh/s and we haven't even been live for 24 hours, we are extremely happy with the progress. We have some pretty cool stuff coming soon, keep you all updated!


Also come visit us in irc #hashcows if you wanna chat!

Moooo!

Are you talking about this page? https://hashco.ws/stats.php#t_coinbalances

It lists all your balances per coin, and lets you select ones to cash out.  Granted, it doesn't have the current BTC equivalent....I suppose that could be added as well if there is a desire for it.
