How do we request a coin be added? I'd like to request Syscoin be added please. Thank you
AFAIK CM doesn't officially disclose which coins it mines unless you can figure that out indirectly (our friends with NLG seem to think they can). Are you sure it's not already mining Syscoin?
Not really indirectly finding out when it came from Terk himself in PM before he went AWOL:
Terk has gotten back to me. He had originally limited the hashrate that was mining on NLG to a 4th of the total hashrate of the pool. He has decreased that to an 8th of the total hashrate. He asked that we monitor the chain and let him know how it looks.
While he hasn't agreed to stop mining NLG, he did agree to work with us to get things running smoothly.

Just to correct things. We put less than 8th of our pool hashrate to NLG.
CleverMining always had an algorithm to limit amount of hashrate pointed at any coin depending on coin difficulty, to don't pump the coin difficulty too much. It works great with DigiShield coins and works well with most KGW coins. I'm not sure why NLG is different here. Maybe KGW doesn't work well with longer times between blocks (most coins these days have 60-second blocks)?
What I did is limited amount of hashpower pointed to NLG to 1/8th of what we point at any other coin with the same difficulty. This isn't related to our total pool hashrate, it's related only to coin difficulty and expected time to find a block. We adjust our maximum allowed hashrate to coin difficulty to don't find blocks too fast. NLG has 8x handicap here from now on. This means we allow 8x less hashpower pointed to NLG than to other coins at the same difficulty.
NLG difficulty already dropped after this change and remains steady. Times between blocks started being more regular. I hope this will help regular pools to also find good blocks and will prevent high difficulty jumps and long times between blocks.
We don't want to withdraw away completely from NLG as we have responsibilities to our users. We promised them to maximize their profits and to mine coins which are profitable. But we also don't want to harm coins and this is why I wanted to find some middle ground between CleverMining users interests and Guldencoin community interests. I hope I found the right balance. I will keep this 8x handicap until Sep 26th when I heard you plan to launch the new difficulty readjustment algorithm.
Then he ramped up hashrate from 10-20% to now 70%(

As the only person who officially, or unofficially speaks for CM here, I'm sure you'll have something to say though, suchmoon. You know, mate... I've read back in your posts history, and in the past you fought a lot of good fights over ethics and morality in mining. I just don't get how you can stand by CM, or more specifically, Terk. The guy won't even address his own miners in his own thread. Doesn't that say something?

, have you heard something from Terk lately?, of coarse not!.
