I mean seriously I used to make 0.0025 a week.
Am I'm just having the worst luck ever or is there something up.
THERE MAY BE SOMETHING UP--
Recently, there was a network problem of some sort. I think it affected some of the profitablity calculations for the worse. The miner population shifted in response, and some of the top mining algos were actually providing little profit even if the coins at the market had a steady value. The number of miners and hash rate had dropped.
Your continual reports of solo-mining problems may have their own merit as well. Personally, I'd like to know when any coins within an algorithm are being merge-mined versus individually mined with only portions of the total hash rate. There are low value coins that I would not like to waste hash power on unless they are being merge-mined. I use the "mc=COIN" flag in my password string to focus my hash, but would like to know if that focus is actually necessary. If coins are being merge-mined, the "mc" flag is not necessary, as the low value coins are mined with no separate effort. On the other hand, if the pool software is portioning out the mining hash, I want my hash focused on the valuable coins.
And, as for solo-mining, there are some good algos where my hash is enough for mining blocks solo. I just keep reading your reports and have not experimented, as I can't afford to waste hash.
