Let's break it down a bit, for those of you wondering why we're mining ECC:

The best current bid for ECC on CryptoRush is 2 satoshis, but there has been a lot of it being bought at 3 satoshis -- tens of millions in the past 24 hours. Look at the current buys vs sells at 3 and 2 satoshis to get an idea.. lots of demand to buy at 2, very little selling at 3 in comparison. That usually indicates the price will rise. At 3 satoshis, returns jump to 0.0087 btc/mh/day -- 33% higher than the ~0.0065 average returned by other multipools in the past 24 hours.

ECC is now at 6 satoshis and my returns are still closer to half this estimate, although my hashrate looks good on the site.
Has the difficulty shot up, or is there some mistake?
(Sorry if I accidentally posted this twice)

Yes, we're working on adding exchange/price data to the site -- that is one of our top priorities currently.

We had a problem with a stratum server process becoming unstable at higher hashrates today, and have since moved it to a load balanced setup. Tomorrow we will be performing some maintenance to upgrade server hardware and begin to prepare to add an EU stratum endpoint. There may be a short period of downtime lasting for 30-45 minutes around approximately 3-4pm EST (7-8pm GMT).

There is some lively trading action going on with ECC on Cryptorush right now. Tens of millions bought and sold between 7-8 satoshis in the last 20 minutes. You might want to take a look if you're holding ECC you mined this week!

Thank you for the heads up. I'd already noticed this and decided to sell off approx 50% of what I was holding and wait and see on the rest for a while. Good call on ECC.

Even like notification area, with a list of coins, and like a certain color would be sell now! This would be nice xD

Perhaps even simpler, to list the various exchange rates next to the per coin info. Would add a few columns, but they would be invaluable. Currently I pop open 3-5 exchanges and search for each of the coins we have...would be nice to have it in one spot (assuming the exchanges have APIs of course).

No long term rush...I'm in business...I know the easier things are to do, the less profitable they typically are...so, not a biggie here if this doesnt get implemented Wink

Newer coins are generally on newer exchanges. Be smart, transfer small amounts first whenever possible to test sells and withdrawing to BTC, don't leave a lot of funds on them, etc. Aside from that, our miners have regularly used MintPal, Cryptorush, SwissCex, CryptoAltex, and a half dozen others.. the exchange you want to be on is the best one that carries the coin you're holding at the time

This looks interesting, but timing when to sell would be difficult. I would be willing to pay another 2% in fees if there was a feature that sold at the "peak" of surges in prices if you will. But yes, will try this out, looks interesting! What coins are being mined right now?

We contacted the Bittrex staff and they have resolved their issue with deposits for EFL.

We are now mining Electronic Gulden (EFL). Here's the ANN thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annefl-electronic-gulden-news-android-wallet-available-522661, and it is currently being traded on Bittrex. Deposits to Bittrex currently seem to be far slower than expected at the moment, so be aware they may be experiencing an issue there and don't rush to send all your EFL at once.

not sure I understand the question but if your difficulty is set right (if u manually set it or pool sets it) you can mine on 2 pools and get rewards for whatever coins you are mining. Like if you like to get coin a and coin b at same time. I am fixing to set up miner to mine 2 coins on same gpu after I set difficulty. I am not sure how it will turn out and yes its better to just mine on one pool but Ima try it out to see if I can balance hashrate.

Is this a statement or a question? If I am not wrongly recalling my experience by mistake, this should work. But it will certainly not be a good idea, I'm sure the hash rates will not sum up to what you would expect to get from teh GPU when using it with one miner instance. But for my suggestion, it only matters if the miner program will crash/complain or not, as I am thinking on one of the two instances being on a port where no work is pushed.

I don't get what you are saying about the difficulty, though. If the pool has vardiff, this will adjust automatically to your hashrate..

for some reason it doesn't work. I in the past wind up having 2 cgminer windows open accidentally for some hours and one was mining, the other wasnt. Some pools for some reason have you set your own difficulty and most pools seem to auto adjust. I was mining on some pools and after a while I quit because for some reason for just one card after mining long time, difficulty goes to 512 for miner when i only have one card 642 khash. If difficulty goes above mostly 256 it often goes back down to 128 on most good pools but some pools keep it increasing where payout seems to be nothing(difficulty auto adjusted to 512. I just assumed the difficulty for my miner keeps rising past 256 its just the pool owner trying to scam me as that is insane.

We will definitely add other algorithms in the future as we grow. Currently mining software like cgminer, bfgminer, and cudaminer do not work that way, so they would need to support multiple algorithms and switching between them in order for a pool to be able to function that way. In the near term, the more likely thing is that we will have separate multiports for each algorithm type.

Yeah I know, mining software cannot switch algos when running, but nothing stops a worker from having like 2 instances of cgminer running, one on algo A and port x and one on algo B and port y. A suitable multipool can mine a coin with algo A by putting port y on idle and switch to a coin with algo B by putting port x on idle and pushing work via port y now.

The problem with fixed-algo is that I have to manually switch between multipools if I think that there is something better my GPU can do. Ideally, for each hardware (like SHA-Asic, Scrypt-Asic, GPU, CPU) - and not for each algo - there should be one multipool doing the best what can be done with that hardware, right?

By mistake once I had two instances of cgminer running on a rig, both on different pools but
using the same GPU. I believe I recall that it worked in the sense that cgminer wasn't complaining, but the hash-rate
was of course down a lot (for both instances). But, sure, it was the same algo (both scrypt). So maybe that makes a
difference, I'll try to run a small test later on..

Can you actually have multiple instances of miners (each with a different algorithm) running at the same time on the same GPUs? I didn't think that was possible.
