Yep it sure does. All coins we mine are sold then we use that btc to buy Silk. The big picture is to use the pool to put buy pressure on the price.
We are mining coins from 3 different algorithms so anyone can get in. If you have sha256 asic or scrypt asic or GPU you can mine silk. The pool creates a secure public hash you use to mine with. This hash tracks your shares on the server, so once I send the silk to the pool it self distributes the coins to the miners wallets. The pool doesn't hold coins longer than to send them to miners.
Still doing tweaks.
Here are the coins we mine, coins are exchanged at least once per day. If I am not busy I do it as often as I can, so payments come a few times per day.

Yeah, the live stats are just for piece of mind. I don't really care as long as the shares aren't being lost. For the scrypt switching, you can't try to have it keep up with profits real-time. It's way too fast. Multipool.us mines for a minimum of 15 minutes before switching.
I was going to see If we can keep the hashrate on the coin until we find a block. But then we might be mining at less profit. Either way I feel like the scrypt coins switch too often.
My next tweak is going to swap some of the scrypt coins for sha256 and x11. To try and slow the switch, without having to edit the switch aglo.
This switch algo also chases difficulty, maybe thats moving things too fast.
A friend and I have a card at our disposal. It is an MSI R4870. We aren't technical people at all with regards to mining; never dunnit before
We don't know what coin it would be best-suited to mine, and we don't know how to configure it.
Bitcoinasourus, is it possible for us to mail it somewhere, have you or someone else put it to work, and send some fair amount of the resulting SILK to our wallets? We know it won't be much, and that's okay.
How many SILK would this card produce per day, on average, if configured to mine the coin it is best suited for?
Would you be interested in something like the following arrangement?:
We send you the card
You configure it to mine whatever coin is appropriate in this pool
You keep however much of the SILK it produces that you think is fair for yourself and send the rest to us
We trust that you have reasonable/fair judgment as far as how much you keep to offset energy/time.
Thanks. We want to help support this but only have one card and no idea how to use it
Peace,
Poll
