2011-09-13  New features added.

1. New improved version of AUTO worker is available. Now you can choose what coins can be mined using this kind of worker!  For example if you want to enable automated mining only on SC and BTC :
- go to “My account” page
- set checkboxes in column “Auto” for BTC and SC
- deselect other coins
- click “Save” button

2. Realtime calculated hash speed of workers

3. Performance improvements.

OK. It should be at least 120 min, though I didn't test it. I will add this to list of issues.

I use the latest firefox. I wouldn't mind if the pool site kept me logged in for hours. Or maybe that could be a user controlled thing.

I like the idea about automatically changing from other coins to bitcoin. I have a couple questions/suggestions. I wonder if you would consider putting the same type of system in for the smaller coins. So for example if you wanted ixcoins you could mine bitcoins and have them changed over automatically. I think this would help to even out the pressures on the market. A problem with this idea is that it adds complexity and you'll have to deal with multiple exchanges to implement this idea in full. Also one faulty trading bot is all it would take to finish the snoozing pool operator.

Maybe you catch my drift and know what my second suggestion is. Its..... Form your own exchange. Its the only way to do it right. By running your own exchange you cut out the middle man and pass the savings on to me! Additionally you could do some arbitrage between exchanges when the exchange fees make sense. Barring a full multicoin exchange it should still be easy to swap coins between members of the pool who want different coins.

Let me know what you think.

edit: Ohh ya and increase the amount of time before I have to log in again. I don't want to refresh the page every minute but I will if I have to! j/k Tongue

Thanks.
I agree that having own exchange is probably the best way of realizing automated coin exchange.
Though there is second possibility. Let’s say semi-automatic exchange. Imagine that exists exchange where you would have account with function of automated exchange of given currency into another. There should be permanent address to which you would point your payouts from Coinotron also. I must ask exchange operators what they think of such functionality.

Idea of having own exchange is tempting. But to be honest at this moment and with resources I have it is not feasible.

Regarding frequent logging in. Could you specify how many minutes we are taking about? What browser do you use?

where i can find working blockexplorer for solidcoins  ?

It happened twice during last week. I've seen posts describing identical situation in another pool. I will ask Solidcoin author what can cause that.

i0c is the most profitable right now. Difficulty retargets pretty quick with that coin for some reason.

Yea its changed since I posted. I think using the AUTO feature it can take a little while to update too.

AUTO doesn't fire instantly. It is based on coins profitability table and this table is refreshed every 100 seconds.
So in the worst case, workers will switch to new currency with delay of 100 seconds.

Thanks for that

LOL Oldminer mines on coinotron?

Was that your 0.02 GH/s mining ixcoins earlier? Then when I brought it to your attention it magically disappeared?

Why stop? Mining at a loss on ixcoins is THE BEST IDEA EVER!

Thats perfect, thanks.  I had set mine to auto, but some were mining BTC even though IO and SC were better.  Looking forward to this option!

Indeed, until Wednesday workers sometimes "liked" to stay with BTC for a while Smiley
I have eliminated this error.


AUTO option still doesnt work for me. Even deleted and recreated my workers..still fails. Right now its wanting to mine i0coin which imo is the most unprofitable of the lot...

Coinotron is showing 0.01410234 as the rate for SC even though it's current at around 0.008 to 0.009 and has been for a few hours. Misleading. Tongue

EDIT: Stuck there for a few hours, but it seems fixed now.

My fault. I was trying to make some improvements to pool's performance and I've accidently kill process which calculates profitability.
