Hello!
I'm using 17001 port with Scrypt autoswitching. I have one question: sometimes Litecoin most profitable in list of 4 cryptos, but it never mined for me, only altcoins in my case. Why?
Maybe some switching bugs?
With X11 and port 17007 all is OK. I have altcoins and DASH balances too.
Second question: do you have plans to add more cryptos @ Scrypt? Because 3-4 not enough.
For example: DGB, NOTE, LINX, PINK etc.
Because I like your pool and I don't want to use nicehash scrypt, but 3 cryptos - very poor choice..
Wbr, Alex.
Pool only switches coin when it finds block for current mining coin.
Litecoin is not included in switching coins because this coin needs very high hashrate than current pool hashrate.
It would need about weeks to find new block, and auto switching will be useless in this case.
This is why litecoin is excluded.
I'll add more Scrypt coins.
A question about confirmed/unconfirmed shares:
1) I have 3.01 unconfirmed shares, currently mining Zcoin. Does not matter how long I mine, a week or two, these 3 unconfirmed shares stays unconfirmed (actually they grew from 2.65 to 3.01 even in one week period). That means later, IF I stop mining current coin which I am mining, then these 3 unconfirmed shares will stay unconfirmed as I have to mine to get them confirmed. That means I loose money.
I find it really weird. Can anyone explain me how to make unconfirmed shares zero (all confirmed, balance zero??):
Thanks
Yea I have a similar issue! 3.01 that's what 45$, wow floating around? I have around 1 Zcoin unconfirmed floating around. you can see it in my post up above your comment, but it jumps up and down. I think it is normal, and I do "think" it will confirm later on even if you stop mining.
"XZC Account Balance
Confirmed 0.00000000
Unconfirmed 0.00000000
Confirmed for Auto Exchange 0.04018455
Unconfirmed for Auto Exchange 1.00235235 <--This Keeps going up please help
Anyone who reply/answers this post, Thank-you in advance!!!!"
Thank-you
MiningPoolHub for your service, and answering these many questions!
Unconfirmed balance will be confirmed whether you stop mining or not. Those credits just needs time.
Unconfirmed for Auto Exchange goes up and will be flushed within certain time period.
When ZEN?
EDIT: sorry, just saw few posts up your answer.
Soon. Sorry.
ADD pool DCR or LBC
need for dual mining !! Please
DCR will be added after ZEN.
The zcoin pool is not very usable at the moment. Only getting this message on certain rigs for some reason. Nothing I could do to solve it. On other rigs I am not getting this error message at all.

Zcoin had serious problem on its network.
Zcoin dev had worked on this bug and I believe it's fixed now.
As pool is using PPLNS system for payouts, the 17xxx ports will only switch to the most profitable when a block is found on the currently mined one. This is to prevent users losing their shares submitted (losing credits due to early switching) and it is considered to be a smarter and better way of mining.
Maybe MPH has a plan to add coins in the future, maybe he just doesn't want to in order to save on the storage bill or keep the server loads low, who knows? We have an almost endless list of good coins waiting to be added for months, some of them are requested over 6 months ago. You can request them here but don't expect them to be added any time soon.
The pool indeed has a very limited set of coins for each algo. I guess, we either try to manage it here or find another pool or set of pools. After many years of being a vocal and loyal user of MPH, I had to realise that this pool is stalling out and despite my kind warnings to MPH, this pool does not want to keep its relevance in the game. I, for one, am switching between a few pools and this one now depending on profitability. It is not ideal, requires extra manual work but at least the payouts are much better. Sorry MPH, I am not going to lie, you will slowly lose your users. 90% of my hashrate is already somewhere else in average.
I understand how you felt and your disappointment.
I am personally having very busy days including the pool backend works. As I already mentioned before, I'm running more than +40 servers. Has increased few more so I think it's nearly 50 now.
There's some other pools out there that only runs one or two coins.
You would think that why they don't add more coins, but it's quite difficult to maintain several coins because it needs additional maintenance and db tweak, wallet updates.
I also agree that my work progress is slow these days.
I'm actually developer and not server operator but I'm currently under heavy job monitoring several servers and repairing every day.
For example here's the list of jobs I did recently.
1. bittrex have reset pool account verification level and it stopped whole auto exchange process.
2. Zcoin wallet breaks mining due to its latest malicious transaction bug
3. Dash mandatory update.
4. Monero wallet stopped syncing time to time without reason.
5. Expanse will hardfork soon. Block reward changes.
6. Internal Aurora DB performance decreased lately from AWS update. Had to tweak some logic and test to flush old share data.
7. Bitcoin gold snapshot
8. Asia server went down few days ago resulting 3 servers offline due to datacenter issue.
9. Moving, adding monero/zcoin servers at singapore region
10. Launch new server from digitalocean with bigger space.
11. Bitcoin gold syncing
12. Answering questions and OTP reset requests. I receive nearly +30 questions daily.
Trust me, I work day and night everyday including weekends.
I hope my new hired men do their job quickly.
Sorry for inconvenience.
