[ANN][POOL] ipoMiner - Profitable multipool targeting new coins + merged mining!

[ipominer]

We just added pricing data for the following exchanges: Poloniex, Bittrex, and Mintpal. You should now be able to see pricing on ipoMiner for the following coins: BLTZ, BTCS, ECC, EFL, GER, MYR, PIG, and SPA.

Excellent!  Thanks.

I'm loving this pool.  Thanks for making altcoin mining fun again.

@lajz99 Do you mean when we switch the coin that is being mined, or when we add a new coin to the site?

When the coin being mined is switched.

Nice work with adding the exchange rate.
It would also be nice to see a todo list of what you guys are planning to add in the future. Any news on when we can expect managed trading?

[schoschi12]

Do you allready know what launching coin you are going to mine next?

BTW, great pool which makes mining interesting again!

Great pool,the only multi pool i will use,this guy save me a lot of time looking at forums, for the up and coming coins, save me a lot of hassle. Well done for not jumping on to Blitz to soon as we could have ended up on wrong fork.Great pool,lets keep on Blitz for the next 5 days,i know i will be big,got 56k in total at the min.   

[ipominer]

Thanks! If there are any exchanges that both offer APIs *and* often list new coins, feel free to post here and we'll look into adding those as well.

@Forcecast Offering managed trading is very much still a "maybe" at this point. We haven't decided to do it yet for certain, but if we do we'll still have to write code to implement it.

Yep I see the price but not see in from exchange it coming.

[ipominer]

@saykor Prices can come from multiple exchanges, so we use a weighted average. (More reputable exchanges are given a greater weight.) In the future we are am planning on adding a separate page for prices by exchange with graphs and historical data.

Are you going to mine clean water coin?
I think it is a serious project with much time invested in.

We seem to have been mining BlitzCoin for ages but according to the "most profitable" table at the top right it is currently the least profitable of the top 5:

[nidhogg1]

why are we still mining blitz?? wtf??

[LosMiner]

I am new to the pool.  I am wondering, what happens if you switch over to a coin that I have yet to provide a wallet address?  Do they go into a holding tank somewhere?  Trying to understand this type of pool.

Thanks in advance!

It looks as though it goes into a holding tank until you cash it out to a wallet or exchange to anyone else with the same question.

[SeekEvo]

Would it be possible to list a link to the announcement thread on bitcointalk (or other useful info you have found) for each coin on the "Pool Statistics" page? Will make it easier for us to use the research you've used so we can make our best determination on hold/sell.

Thanks for the great pool

[ipominer]

Recently, we've been linking to the bitcointalk announcement threads for coins we add in the ipoMiner.com front page News area.

@nidhogg1 @bbr We're mining BLTZ because it is the most profitable coin with enough difficulty and buy volume to soak up our collective sells, and has the potential to continue rising as it only features a total of 1 week of PoW mining. PAWN, PIG, and EFL don't have high enough difficulty or enough buy support to be worth mining currently. We could mine them for a few blocks before KGW adjusts the difficulty to the added hashrate, but then people would be ending up with dust from multiple coins on multiple exchanges, which isn't ideal. Note that our current multiport does not switch automatically based on immediate profitability, but is rather a managed switching process based on regular evaluation.

@LosMiner Yes, that's correct. Mined coins are held on the site until you cash them out.

[Monkey1]

If there is an issue with our hash rate significantly impacting difficulty of some coins, could you not split the pool and allocate some hashrate to more profitable coins with very low difficulty and the rest to other coins?

+1

[drmavis]

I agree - that is a feature not often seen in pools - splitting the hash rate intelligently and mining several coins at the same time and splitting them proportionally.
