Topic: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com - page 82. (Read 829908 times)

I can understand this; but what really is there to communicate beyond what has been communicated already via the Twitter posts and IRC?

It's obvious that all of the "lost shares" and percentages of those lost shares don't have a significant impact and the other pools aren't better where it counts.

On top of that you get higher than average payouts on Middlecoin than you get on these other pools.

So long story short; with all of the hoopla and hype people have been talking about these other pools they boil down to no big reason to switch.

If you're getting high rejects, just set a fixed server that works well for you. I use US East and I'm at 99.4% accepted atm.

This thread just gets more entertaining every day.   I'm about to run out of popcorn.



There's more melodrama than a cheap matinee B-movie.

Funny thing, regardless of all the hysteria, I have more bitcoin today than I did yesterday and all I had to do is keep my computers running and connected . . . something I've been doing for a long, long time . . . for nothing.

Y'all just continue to run about, screaming, whining, complaining, threatening, accusing . . . and "just generally carrying on cranky.^*"  It's a lot more entertaining than a soap opera.

The automatic selection of nearest server does not seem to be 100% optimal. I live 10 KM from Amsterdam, bit still the miner seems to point to Ireland.

Does anyone know how the server is chosen? I get only the Ireland and Amsterdam server when I query middlecoin.com for DNS records.

 

middlecoin.com will point you to the closest server to you, but it's not always perfect. If you want to connect to a specific server or set backup pools, here is a list of the servers:

uswest.middlecoin.com (Oregon)
useast.middlecoin.com (N. Virginia)
eu.middlecoin.com (Ireland)
amsterdam.middlecoin.com
asia.middlecoin.com (Singapore)

Well now we are just thread-jacking and getting way off-topic,  but that guys post is validation enough as why not to run CGWatcher. CGWatcher is a piece of shit. I'm no Einstein, but I'm not fucking stupid either. I agree that cutting the balls off by selecting a lower intensity is fucking stupid.  It's also fucking stupid to wring the shit out of your cards until they end up "sick" and "dead",  and to rely on a re-start to straighten everything out until it happens again. Throwing shares away to re-boot because I overheated my cards or constantly running at a sub-par speed are not my ideas of a stable and optimized system.  All but one of my single-core 7950s are set to I-19 and average ~630 kh/s each,  and throttle back and forth between ~620 and ~640. I have one set to I-18 so I can periodically use my monitor while mining without locking up the rig. That one throttles between ~600 and 620 Khs.  Temps almost never go above 74 degrees and fan speeds almost never go above 3400 rpm on any of my cards. Most of the time they run lower in terms of temp and fan speed. I could squeeze a liiiiittle more hash out of them if I wanted periodic lock-ups,  but what's the point since I stopped having sick/dead cards (your temps are too high,  you are killing your fans/cards) or hard locks (indicates gpu engine and/or mem clocks and/or T.C. settings are too high),  once I tuned my config.  Why do I need CGWatcher again?  Why do I need a program that would consistently NOT work properly and consistently NOT activate CGMiner if I decided to reboot or the power went out? A simple BIOS setting and a cgminer batch file in the start-up menu addresses those conditions.  And forget about setting CGWatcher up for quota work across multiple pools,  those settings were good for what,  one go-around, iirc. It didn't take me too long to figure out that CGWatcher was basically an all-around pain-in-the-ass,  barely-serviceable band-aid for a poorly tuned config file. CGMiner gives you all of the tools that you need to maximize your hash rate as well as to avoid sick/dead cards/hard locks at the same time. It took me a little longer to figure out which version of CGMiner has a dead-balls accurate quota function,  but yeah,  it does that too.

Any chances that the pool will include a way to check each individual miners? I don't want to separate all my payout address.. Thanks

Since there's the twitter feed on the Middlecoin.com homepage (no need for twitter at all) AND a whole forum dedicated to Middlecoin that's sorta blessed by H2O (he linked to it from a twitter post) http://middlecoinforum.com/ , and available pretty much all the time via IRC ...

... Plus the fact that h2o was basically harassed by verified scammers here on BitcoinTalk who outed his name and posted photos of him and were going to post his home address... I don't blame him for avoiding this forum.

Lack of communication my ass.

It's like someone putting out an always updated billboard on a busy freeway and being accused of lack of communication because he won't talk to you at 3am in the neighborhood where he was mugged. Jeez.

If you don't like it in Middlecoin, there are other options. If you do stay.  Either way, have some perspective and relax.

Quick question, should Im from EU - should i mine at middlecoin.com or should i choose amsterdam/eu server to get better profits?

+1, just as clevermining by the way. I've switched from middlecoin to wafflepool a week ago and payouts are merely the same. You don't need to switch if you want to get payed better, the only reason could be better support (wafflepool), better website (clevermining) or don't switch at all. I was just tired of no communication and all the issues.
