Easier said than done unfortunately - especially with my Mrs and a newborn

Yeah, I would definitely run wired networking if at all possible for mining if you're serious enough about mining to be in the multi-MH range

You shouldn't be getting any disconnections from our end except when we switch coins, which is typically fairly rare right now.. only 1-2 times a day on average.
Yeah like i said it seems to be my wifi - i keep checking the pool my hash is going from 3000 upto 8500 depending on my wifi disconnects!!
I was having issues like this and switched back to wired, even running ethernet over the powerlines was much more reliable.

like the pool so far, i seem to be getting a lot of disconnections - good job im at home - seems to be my wifi playing up....

Yea everyone seems to be on the spain train right now, last night was some good returns.

We're mining SpainCoin right now, which is immensely profitable -- 0.0295 btc/mh/day right now at 337 difficulty and a price of 0.005. Blocks mature at 120 confirmations and the block time is 2 minutes, so unfortunately it takes 4 hours to confirm mined coins because that's what the coin specifies. Difficulty is also high on this coin at the moment, so it can take a while to find blocks at our current hashrate, but many people are renting rigs to take advantage of the terrific profit margin right now so the pool hashrate should go up
We try to be as flexible and fast as possible with payouts. Coins are available to withdraw as soon as they have reached the block maturity time for that coin. We offer payouts on demand, at a user-specified threshold, or on a daily basis... whatever works best for you.

how long does it take for coins to confirm.... nothing confirmed since i started at the pool? been a good 2 or 3 hours so far 
March 16, 2014, 06:24:45 AM
Wow 400% increase in hashrate since I started yesterday
March 16, 2014, 05:32:12 AM
miners now on your pool - i look forward to the results over the next few days
March 16, 2014, 01:53:38 AM
nice,i will be watching this

Thanks for your vote of confidence junkozane - we're glad to have you joining us!

Yep, I'll be updating the FAQ page soon. They've been edited slightly so far, but they're mostly from Multipool.us, where our code comes from
We're definitely considering adding a voting mechanism - maybe when our hashrate grows we'll offer two multiports, a community-voted one and the standard one. We can also easily add direct ports for coins in the future.
We may mine coins that look promising at launch if the difficulty is reasonable for the likely potential profits. Most recent launches of promising coins have seen huge multi-GH/s hashrates making the difficulty spike to unreasonable levels for the likely price (which can often be estimated for new coins by the total number of coins and block rewards).
We don't typically mine coins for extended periods (read: more than a few hours) if they aren't on /any/ exchanges, except potentially at launch. Our goal is to provide reasonable daily profits while offering the huge potential upside that newer coins can provide.
Basically we will adapt and do whatever seems reasonable to generate better than average profits. We're experienced and have made significant profits with mining in the past, but we are always open to new ideas and are happy to discuss things.

Perfect answer.
I also assume that a scrypt-n pool would be considered when the interest/hashrate and amount of coins are at feasible levels?
Honestly, I've got just two small rigs and I'm currently mining specific coins so I won't be using ipoMiner just yet, but I will definitely be keeping my eye on it and look forward to using it in the future.
yes, because of this answer too i begin to point my machine there. these op know well about their business

Terrific tradeacoin, we'll be glad to have you!
prometheianz - We've seriously considered offering that as an option, and most likely will do so in the future. The main difficulty I see is that optimal exchange times can vary significantly (sometimes up to 1-2 weeks from the time a coin is mined), so it takes a lot of trust in your pool operators and patience for that to work. Starting with our current strategy will hopefully help build the necessary trust and confidence.

I would be interested if you offered an "auto" exchange service, even if it costs a few % more in fees. Obviously you can't auto exchange like most multipools as there wouldn't be any exchanges available initially, however perhaps you could hold the coins on behalf of miners who have opted in for this feature and when an exchange is available, then make the exchange and payout in BTC, minus the extra fee for exchanging it of course.

Looks interesting. I've never used a multipool before but Ill give you guys a try for a few days. I'll be directing 15mh's or so towards you guys when I get back in town tomorrow.
March 15, 2014, 07:02:54 PM
Yeah, we'll definitely add sha256/scrypt-n/etc. pools in the future as appropriate. Thanks for the questions and suggestions! Look forward to having you join us. If you want to hop on IRC and chat with us about new coins you like, maybe we can consider adding some of the ones you're interested in.
