Hi Before I start I'd like to say that aTriz & nearmiss deserve a lot of credit for the work they have put in. I am also impressed with their responsiveness to questions and suggestions. As a lazy miner I am really pleased with both the automatic selection of coins to mine and the automatic conversion to BTC. With that in mind I hope you take this posting in the spirit it is meant ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I carried out a very unscientific review of the performance yesterday by saving and analysing the Past Round stats from the website. I recorded rounds 4758 - 4803. In 18 hours the total recorded mining time was 12h 30m 50s which, if the stats are accurate, equates to only 69.5% productive mining time. If this is the case then I would suggest that concentrating on improving the transition between coins should be high on the development list. I have also noticed a massive change in the performance of my miners when working with the different coins, up to 40% difference in hashrates on a stable rig. When setting the weighting for each coin is this taken into account? As you can tell I do like to research and crunch the numbers. With that in mind my own personal wish list has better stats at the top. I would love to be able to look at more detailed historic data, beyond the Last 30 Rounds currently visible on the website. I would like to see the actual BTC paid out as well as keep My Estimated Earnings, for comparison. I would also love to see the profitability as calculated at coin selection time and the actual profitability once paid out.

Complete newbie questions alert
So I just switched my Juniper (yes) from mining btc to Hashcows, and I'm delighted to be collecting a few more very expensive satoshis than I used to.
Guiminer worked, but made my pc run impossibly slowly. Then it failed on me, but left me with this .bat: ...guiminer-scrypt_win32_binaries_v0.04\cgminer\cgminer.exe" --scrypt -u railzand.1 -p 123 -o stratum+tcp://stratum01.hashco.ws:8888 --gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 18 -g 1 -l 1 --thread-concurrency 3200
The .bat mines great for me, but it has taken me 30 mins just to type thus far, the pc is so slow.
Please would some kindly soul help me tweak my bat?

You'll need to dial back your intensity -I 15 or lower will make it more usable but will reduce your overall hashrate what card are you running - you might also need to tweak your thread-concurrency

Hey 007 thanks for that. It's a 5770!
edit: yay just restarted with intensity at 15 and got my pc back> certainly enough to use for researching recommended thread-concurrency.
edit: hashing at 184k down from 200+ seems a good compromise
many thanks again

regarding TAG balances, coins mined during the forking period were rolled back, which is why you may now be showing a balance of 0 (if you only mined/kept it during that time).

I would like to see the actual BTC paid out as well as keep My Estimated Earnings, for comparison. I would also love to see the profitability as calculated at coin selection time and the actual profitability once paid out. We always appreciate the feedback! Regarding the switching of coins, making this transition smoother is already in the works and we are hoping to start some tests on it sometime in the next few days. We are holding off on a second stratum server until we get this one sorted out. Though to the point of time lost....I'm not entirely convinced its as bad as the client reports at times. This is just my own opinion based on my own superficial evidence, but while testing things awhile ago, I'd notice during switches the client would be lagging in response, still showing disconnected, despite the servers stratum logs logging shares being submitted. I'm not sure if that lag is also reflected in mining time stats when you close the client or not. Either way, we recognize its an area to address, and its in the works. Regarding the stale/reject rates of certain coins (especially FST as of late, which we've been hitting a fair bit), each coin has a penalty applied to it based on average stale/reject/orphan rates encountered while mining. FST specifically, for example, is hit with a 35% penalty. This means it has to be 35% (plus a bit more for standard difference thresholds to trigger a switch) more profitable than the current coin before we'll hit it. Each coin has its own penalty. We review the actual btc results of these coins to ensure our numbers are still accurate from time to time. So far, FST has done ok for us. Other coins have been removed from the rotation, as we found the rejects/stales could not be properly counter-balanced by penalties, and btc profits suffered. As for stats, more stats are always ideal, and we've got a few ideas on the backburner. As you can imagine, the TODO list is ever growing. With the holiday season approaching this is probably not realistically something we'll be able to tackle in the short term,but we recognize the desire for it, and hope to be able to deliver more stats at some point.

Looking like a good day today.
Adding up "My Est. Earnings" column for today is looking very healthy - these long runs on worldcoin look to be very profitable.
Not counting anything until tonight's payout as we all remember tagcoins.

yes very good! I know I shouldn't complain about daily estimates, but currently just by summing the first ten rounds I already get a higher number than that (and it's going down).

yes very good! I know I shouldn't complain about daily estimates, but currently just by summing the first ten rounds I already get a higher number than that (and it's going down). I think it's safe to say that the Daily Estimate is well and truly broken, but I am happy for it to stay like this whilst the devs concentrate on other profit enhancing areas. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) EDIT: Something really weird is going on with Worldcoins - I think the exchange rate has gone wonky because reported profitability is up to 2262.2349 and MY Est. Earnings per round on Worldcoin are all greater then my usual daily total.EDIT2: OK - Looks much better now.

aTriz and nearmiss, are you using Cryptsy for WDC valuation? There's a small buy order stuck at 0.1 BTC, which may be causing profitability to be too high.

Should be evaluated on how much money can be exchanged for a large number of altcoins. Should not be taken for calculating the best bid on the exchange, as it may be just the bait.
