One of the comments about the multipool's profitability (although presented by a notable troll in this thread apparently) I felt should be addressed specifically.
Note that I have nothing against many of the multipools on PoolPicker - but I find it humorous that after such a tiny amount of actual data (all of which is positive) a single day of not being the #1 pool in the list is considered proof of 'failure'.
Without exception, none of the pools represented have avoided being less profitable than simply mining LTC - on
numerous occasions over the past 30 days. The profitability algorithms of some of these older pools is obviously top notch - with the exception of Middlecoin which obviously needs work as it's all over the place from day to day.
Although 4 days is definitely not enough data to mark any kind of trend - so far, our pool has
never been less profitable than mining LTC. Considering how young in the development cycle the profitability algorithms are, I really don't expect it to fall below LTC - outside of a bug (which happens, no matter how careful you are as a dev) or a completely unexpected breakaway coin release.
The other pools introduced on PoolPicker around the same time - multipool.us, coinfu.io, and wemineall.com - have
all had
several days below LTC profitability already... and a few of the older pools have spent nearly 40% of their time under that level as well.
The dev team is to be commended for this achievement. It would be adequate (especially to people like myself) for mining the pool to just not cost me too much money... since it's paying in something I believe will be worth 10X more in a reasonably short period of time. For that mining to be profitable
instantly (even to those immediately dumping for BTC) is really incredible! Great job LDG - especially St. GNU for all the code-crafting behind the scenes - you guys are absolutely
killing it!
