Yeah not a good day yesterday. 5.1 Mh/s and it got 0.016 BTC over 24 hrs! Switching to another pool till issues are sorted. I will keep an eye on things here to see how they develop.
what pool u will choose? MP?
just a datapoint:
i only dedicate a PORTION of a rather slow gpu (120khash scrypt) to hashcows
also a portion to multipool.us
at current exchange rates, my 14 day average for cows is $0.156/day
and my average for multipool.us is $0.13/day
my gpu portioning gets about 39 shares/hour at cows and about 28 shares/hour at multipool.
many of the really minor coins at multipool are not cashed out and probably wont be
for a very long time (until they reach a whole 1.0 coins -- but represent a small percentage.
not being able to practically use minor coins is a drawback for multipool and also the above
daily $$$ rates include hashcows autoconversion to BTC. i still have to pay exchange fees
to convert the coins i'm getting from multipool - making their return on investment even smaller.)
make of the data what you will, but, to me it seems hashcows is doing acceptably well in
the given poor exchange rate market. or at least for a multi type pool.
(middlepool is not an option for low speed gpu with their rather high fixed difficulty, and
alternatepool i gave up on after continuous stratum connectivity problems. i'll give alternate another
try if they look like things are worked out. what little connectivity i had with them seem
to generate reasonable returns.)
as others have said, multi pools and auto-converting to BTC pools are for us lazy folk.
of course you can do better picking and choosing specific currencies.
and who puts all their eggs in one basket anyway?
