The site is functioning normally now.  The coin information (blocks, difficulty, etc) was stale for 6 hours, price data was unaffected.  I will be adding some monitoring shortly to prevent this from happening again without me noticing.

I like this as I was thinking of something similar - but where do you get your pricing for the conversion?  For example, right now I notice it states that 1 TRC is worth 0.00016819 BTC.  However, that price isn't anywhere I can find.

Thanks!
The price of each coin is based on an average of the prices on Bitparking, BTC-e and vircurex, weighted by the coin's daily volume on each exchange.  However, there are currently some problems with the server configuration that could be preventing up to date prices.

EDIT: Prices were accurate, the TRC price is currently weighted towards the bid/ask average on Vircurex.

currently it shows LTC diff at 35. .while diff has actually been 38 for a couple of hours...
I changed the configuration of my local network this afternoon and broke the server sending updated information to the frontend.  I'm working on fixing this now.

what do the blue numbers say?   green is above 100%, red is below 100% and blue is... ?

It looks to me like blue numbers are for merge-mining capable coins.

  • Added power cost input and USD profit column
  • Separated SHA-256 and scrypt hashrate fields
  • Minor cosmetic improvements

I'm not sure what the best way to represent the profitability "ratio" of altcoins is.  The current Ratio column displays the relative revenue, not profit, and assuming a 1000:1 SHA-256/scrypt hashrate ratio.  However, the true % increase in profit can be much higher than the listed value, due to the fixed nature of power costs.  I want the value displayed to users glancing at the site without entering any information to be reasonable and useful.  I also want the information provided to be as accurate as possible if hashrate and power data is entered.  I will try to make this clearer in the near future.

  • Market cap in BTC is now calculated and this value is used to sort the table of coins.
  • IXC, the original scamcoin, has been added.

Maybee you could display the current network hash-rate per coin

IXCoin can also be merged-mined and also still have a public, web-based exchange, is there some reason for leaving them off the list?

Could you add Market Cap of each coin?
Just multiple # of coins (easy to get) by BTC value by BTC-USD value.

I did this once at Bitcoin Pie, but it's no longer maintained.

Good idea, I will add a column for market cap.  It is also an appropriate metric to sort the coins by.

In Cryptocoins I Trust
Interesting ALT coin factoids I gathered from Dust's website...

When you first posted this thread, NVC was ~170% more profitable to GPU mine than Bitcoins. It is now sitting at 137.29%, so it appears your website is popular. Bitcoin has gone up about $1 since then, so that affects that percentage a little, but it appears a lot of miners have switched over to NVC.

Also.. LTC difficulty down to 15.8 ... It seems like it was at 45 just two weeks ago (I know its been months).  Shocked

Another issue is ppcoin's totally wacky per block adjustment algorithm.  Ideally, you shouldn't be checking what the current difficulty and reward are when doing the calculation but rather the amortized reward and difficulty for the last 520 or so blocks, with weighting toward the last blocks.
Wouldn't it be better to estimate the future difficulty and block rewards based on the current difficulty and hashrate of recent blocks, as a miner would want to know what coin to mine now, not which one was more profitable in the past?

Okay, now that I understand PPC difficulty adjustment a little better I think it's okay as is.  I had been mistaken about the way the difficulty changed.

PPCoin, TerraCoin, AND NovaCoin all more profitable to mine than LiteCoin.

^ I never thought I'd say that.  Shocked

But only LiteCoin will still be around 1 year later.
