a x11 multipool would attract a lot of miners, its getting hot outside so there is no doubt about that? cant be that hard to implement?
Yeah I really don't think it would be that hard. especially given the competence of our devs.
By my assessment, the devs did a good job putting together the profit switchers for sha and scrypt, and if they all sat down with a pot of coffee and a drawing board they could put an X11 switcher together in less than 8 hours.
If my assessment of how many miners adding X11 would bring is correct, it would be significantly worth the time of the devs to do it.
Furthermore, it would be the first X11 profit switcher ever made, and if that innovation was tied to blackcoin, It would help us a lot.
Don't even get me started on what would happen if we added an Nscrypt switcher as well...
I think it is safe to say if we add switchers for these 2 algorithms it could increase the pools volume by around 30%. I personally would point my 13 mh/s indefinitely. It is no secret that the profitability/feasibility of scrypt is dwindling and the heat of the summer will only make it worse. Miners will be left with 3 choices: Sell equipment, continue to mine scrypt at a loss, or switch to a different coin. Most will sell their equipment, but a lot of people, like myself, would rather hold onto it and look for other opportunities. X11 and Nscrypt are the opportunities, and we MUST cater to the folks who are willing to remain in the game.
Devs?
