The full set of coins that were previously in the header tables are now viewable at https://www.multipool.us/stats.php.

I will be making improvements to this page but I wanted to get it published so people can see that information again.

You can get to the individual coin stats pages by clicking on the coins in the selector at the top of the page.

Wonder since this has happened before, if multipool should have a check if the coin being mined is showing more than twice as profitable as the next most profitable coin don't mine it.

Why would we do that?

To stop people from wasting their time and electricity mining nothing. A lot of the time if some coin is showing a large profitability like now, over any other coin, something bad is going on.

That's not true at all.  A high profitability does not indicate that something is wrong.  Several of our coins routinely go over 1200-1500% profitability for short periods.

Ah, I see what happened. I had compiled the new version on the hot wallet server but I had not actually brought it up yet.  Blocks from last night are coming in now and should be paid out soon.  We were on DGC for quite a while but coinchoose is still showing it at around 600% profitability so profits should not be too badly impacted.

Thank you

The multipool multi-wallet architecture pays off for the first time! Smiley

DGC mining is working on a new auto-switching pool Switchercoin.com. Welcome!

Please don't spam your pool in my thread.  Thanks.

Multipool has been mining an invalid DGC chain for 8hrs+ Get your miners off there... you are currently mining nothing!

They have had 1 month to update their client and they haven't done it yet.

This isn't true actually.  The mining wallets are on the right chain and our hot wallet is up to date.  I'm not sure why the hot wallet is stuck but I'm currently investigating.

I switched all my miners to directly mine the WDC port. Pain in the arse. 6 miners and all remote.

Of course on that note, cryptsy has been stuck with my WDC since 11 pm yesterday so can't do much right now with those either. Wish there was another broker that carried the breath of coins that multipool mines.

Sup with DGC? Multiport is on it and we are reaching 4hrs since last block.

Yeah and a profitability of 18.19 for that coin is obviously showing something is up.

JR

Definitely a problem with the profitability calculations, Coinchoose shows it at about 5.

4. I am considering adding a "conservative" multiport that will only switch between NVC, LTC, FTC, MNC and possibly CGB.  Would like to hear opinions on this.
This sounds interesting, but what might be interesting is to see some of the other riskier, but more profitable altcoins get added to a superset pool (like NRB, DMD, BTB, STR, ANC, etc). That way you have 3 varieties to choose from.

Most of the 'more profitable' coins are only more profitable because their difficulty is below 0.5, making them undesirable targets for mining by Multipool.  They'd be like LKY or ARG, only profitable for a couple minutes and then we'd switch to something else.

ANC I think will be a good add.  CAP, CGB and MEC all have single-block difficulty adjustments and the pool spends quite a bit of time on those.

While CAP, CGB and MEC have single block difficulty adjustment, the adjustment itself is limited to only couple of % based on the time it took the network to find a block. ANC on the other hand has wild swings where every adjusment is 29% of the previous difficulty and those adjustments have nothing to do with network speed like they are for CAP, CGB and MEC

Apparently ANC is about to adopt the MEC algorithm, which should improve things.

Hmm ok, thanks for the info.  If the adjustments don't have anything to do with the network speed what are they based on?
