imagine all the babies crying right now because of this
Because some immature little whiny people decide to destroy a free service? Look, all I present is data. People who fear data are losers, for lack of a better term. I am never going to charge anyone and all data is verifiable.
I will look at sweeping the data to Google Docs so it is free
dude with your stupid service people pump and dump.. what good is that! I am so glad this site is down!
pump and dump is market manipulation on exchanges, it has almost nothing to do with switching from coin to coin based on profitability.
Miners by definition
sell coins, they don't pump (buy) then dump (sell).
If you believe people waited for coinchoose to switch from coin to coin based on profitability you are sorely mistaken.
To give you an example, I only have one command to launch and 3 config files to edit for adding a new coin to my setup.
This includes automatically compiling the coin daemon from the git repository, adding an init script for it and launching it. My setup then distributes the configuration to the rigs needed to solo-mine and adapts to the new coin. It parses the exchanges rates, uses the local daemon to find out the actual mean reward including fees, computes an estimation of the orphan rate and fine-tune it from the rate of orphan my rigs mine. When the data is in it starts to switch rigs to the coin if it is the most profitable for a rig (it uses the sha256d and scrypt efficiency of each rig to make this decision).
I'm even warned when:
- the coin becomes popular enough that solo-mining becomes gambling so that I configure P2Pool for this coin or create a pool account,
- the original git repo is updated
- the coin is dying and may be removed from my configuration
I don't use coinchoose anymore (I did briefly as a source for exchange rates but I prefer to develop more elaborate decision algorithms) so if you think DoSing coinchoose will prevent people from switching from coin to coin, it's only true for the less serious miners that don't/can't code a dynamic setup like mine. Linking coinchoose to pump and dump is simply ridiculous.
