Dont know really, but im getting a better pay out per day vs. middlecoin. So i dont really care.
Its really easy to monitor what coins you have mined, and whats to be exchanged.
And a big plus is that it has vardiff, and they convert all coins before payout, so they dont hold 15% to the next day like middlecoin do.
Try mine there, just even for an hour and then go here
http://wafflepool.com/miners and type in your wallet address, and see the magic.
The magic I saw was wasted time and tiny tiny tiny payouts... you can see my posts to their threads on Reddit from weeks ago. They're hashpower is a fraction of Hashcows much less Middlecoin, and Hashcows has a hard enough time of taking on profitable coins because of their hashpower.
What many fail to realize is that going back to early 2013, Middlecoin's biggest strength has been H20's ability to do private or (hidden) selling of the altcoins while Exchanges like Cryptsy are down. That's why whenever the Unexchanged value is rising like it is now, I'm rubbing my hands together in glee rather than worrying... The other pools don't have the trading connections H20 seems to.
I've been on Middlecoin on my current account since August, and another account from earlier in the year into July. I was parallel hashing on Hashcows since they started, but jumped back full power on Middlecoin when I saw the Doge run-up during the Holidays (Middlecoin was 4 days ahead of any multipool in jumping on Dogecoin and then sold to starving buyers when Cryptsy was locked and down for Doge making everyone including Hashcows scrambling).
When Wafflepool started a few weeks ago, I put some power into them to try them out... pathetic returns and buggy coin handling. Tried them again a few days later, still crappy.
Put in a few requests and posts on their Reddit threads... saw similar experiences to mine with other users.
So what has changed in the last week with Wafflepool to make it magic? Do they have the ability to sell when everyone can't like Middlecoin can? I'll go where the profit is... and I have done full parallel hashpower testing. Middlecoin still takes the cake.
Dont know really, but im getting a steady payout at 0.013 a day with running from 700-1100kh/s when i use the computer, i disable the weak graphic card.
And the 3% middlecoin is taking + we have to pay the exchange fee of 0.4% is just pure greed, thats also a big factor i left the pool
Doubt h20 has any connections to selling altcoins while exchanges are down, and they rarely are.
You want magic... how's this for magic... I rest my case... H2O manually exchanging... let's see wafflepool do that...

@middlecoinpool
Stats will take a while to update. i'm importing some manual trades.
Like I said... everytime the Unexchanged goes up, I'm a very happy guy... you guys shouldn't worry so much and in fact should be looking forward to days like this when UE goes crazy and Exchanged Balance goes horizontal.
Evidence is in my history again and again if you want to check... Check Dec 17th (when Cryptsy was down and Hashcows and direct Doge miners couldn't exchange, but we did) and Dec 22nd for some big ones... and now today:

So rallasnackbar, how's that compare to your 0.013 BTC ...
