hey guys

middlecoin, hashcows, multipool.us

which one i should mine for daily profit?

I think middlecoin seems to be the best atm but I still use hashcows so I can keep the alt coins and exchange them myself.

 I like the cow best. You can see whats going on and interact with the owners.

 There WERE profit comparison charts for both cow and middle, but middle turned theirs off about a week ago. Cow was beating them probably 5 out of 6 times.

 Multipool.us I didnt like because you wind up with lots of tiny fragments of coins that often arent worth the transfer fee out or are below the minimum to send. Also it seemed less efficient at mining than places dedicated to just one coin.

Yeah, it's kinda suspicious that the profit chart stopped at Middlecoin right before they killed the cow with double to triple normal profits riding the Doge days before anyone else.

Then again it looks like those days are over and they're gonna be going back to the neck-and-neck performance of previous weeks. Recent weeks before that amazing run, the cows were mooing past Middlecoin. Wonder what the race will look like this week

The struggle is real, worst payout in a long time

Hey thanks GarbageName. I'm almost too fossilised to try xubuntu, and this is just a one-off gpu in my windoze home pc. even messing with cgminer stretches my tiny mind, but I'll give 3.3.4 a try first...

You might like to try BAMT too: 

https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=2924.0

It's basically Linux, AMD drivers, and cgminer all pre-built for you.   Just write the image to a USB drive using the directions above and set your PC to boot off of USB (if it's not already).  Plug the USB flash drive into your PC and reboot when you want to mine, reboot with the flash drive removed when you want to run Windows. 

I'm not familiar with mining on Windows, so I can't say if you will have better luck/performance, but it shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes to try BAMT and see how it works out for you.

Another brilliant suggestion mattopia. This might be just what I need. Thanks so much. Will report back. Go cows thread readers - supportive and knowledgeable

diff of wdc is not right

Having some issues with cgminer and this pool.
When it swaps coin my hashrate drops on my 7950's from 620 to 580.
Its the same every time and in order to get back the hashrate I have to restart cgminer manually.
I'm also losing connection to stratum allot. Every time this happens my hashrate falls again, usually from 580 down to around 540(instantly back up to 620 when I restart cgminer).

I have no idea about a fix but I'm having issues too.  If we mine one coin for a long time like the 8+ hour's of WDC we just did I never reconnect after stratum disconnect to switch coins, doesn't even switch to failover.  I have to manually restart as well.

Does the pool hold any profit for themselves when exchanging coins? Asking because based on my average hash, the rate for coins I am making maybe 25%+ less in BTC given where the market sits. It's understandable that it will be lower given the amount of coins they need to move from time to time but 25% implies the pool might be skimming as a way to make a profit.

I'm not accusing, just asking since there may be a very straightforward answer..

1/2 a percent fee for auto trade.  One thing you have to realize is that even though we are mining a profitable coin by the time it actually makes it into the market the value my have dropped a fair amount.  To get the best results you will have to keep the coins yourself and trade when they are up.

 That was my point about middle. We CANT see the race any more since middle took away their profit charts to compare with. If you pull it from cached google and compare with the Cow over the same period of time, Cow almost always beat middle back then.

 Hey Rail. Keep in mind that if you do switch to bamt you'll be losing a CHUNK of your profits due to not being able to set control over your graphic cards the way you can now. linux for some reason has problems trying to overclock and volt mod and the lower coin values go the more important that becomes to whether you make a profit or not.

[matsonj]

Has anyone been experiencing some hash rate discrepancies? I have three miners running; The first has three cards, the second has two cards and the third has one card. I'm adding up the separate worker hash rates and they don't add up with my total on the main page.

Just wanted to see if anyone else also had these troubles...

Oh thanks MacT. Yeah looks like I can stay with windoze, I got cgminer working again. Yes every penny counts now more than ever my goodness. Now to reflash the bios on my dreadful xfx card, see if I can't squeeze 'er some more. Really grateful for advice

[draceus]

Its sad but I cant use this pool.
constant disconnects, hashrate magically going lower sometimes and Im getting like 7% stale shares with same settings i run on other pool with < 2%

Why the fuck are we still mining wdc.....

One of my VGA drops to 10% of hashrate occasionaly (mostly after restarting cgminer). You don´t have to reboot computer, but restart vga driver (or device itself) instead by using devcon command. VGA back in few secs, fresh as after reboot. For more info about it go here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff544807(v=vs.85).aspx

Good Question !

WDC is still not bad to mine atm.
Reasonable diff, good price.

What else should we be mining ?
Perhaps EAC. Earthcoin could be our next hypecoin.

Moooooooooo.

Is sumthink up? 26 hours of WDC
