Hello Zimstake community!
I'm the Director of Operations for Chunkypools, and I just wanted to add a bit to what Srscrypto has said here.
Chunkypools offers a service called "linked coin communities" multipools, where the coin communities of many coins mine together but are each paid out in their respective coin according to what port of chunky they mine on. Each coin community is given its own unique web address to ensure you maintain your own identity.
We currently operate multipools for WhiteCoin, HYPER, UniveristyCoin, and NAV (previously Summercoin2.0).
A healthy multipool can be a strong indicator to potential investors as they provide a regular form of buy support on markets. Each day, chunky converts what its community pools mine on exchanges (according to our best to mine profitability/daily return metrics) into a community's coin, which provides both volume and price support.
We have a team of dedicated traders who help oversee these buys, and we pride ourselves on giving consistently above average turns to our users.
We currently offer mining across scrypt, x-11, and SHA-256 algos.
We're also constantly improving our platform, with numerous updates planned, including:
- Community specific hash reporting
- A new layout
- Added coin exchange rate figures
- New coin algos (X-13, X-15 planned soon)
We also pride ourselves on forming personal relationships with our miners, we're a community. We respond to support requests and take hash recording very, very seriously.
We ask for a .5 BTC fee for the creation of these pools because they do take considerable man hours to build and maintain, but it's a one time fee and after that we will maintain the multipool for so long as miners are using it and the coin is active on exchanges.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
Chris
PS: I'll be out doing a bit of yardwork in the sun this afternoon, but I'll be checking btc and IRC regularly.
