The fact that smarterhash was the only pool for the first few thousand blocks of this coin is kind of ruinous for proper distribution of a coin in its crucial early stages. Especially one like Polybit which has a very broad, generic use case and is thus almost impossible to pull off successfully. Though a poorly distributed ICO is almost as bad.
Buying into its small ICO was in retrospect the best play here. I still mined a small stack solo. At least the paywall pool made the mining dynamic into something I haven't yet seen and thus was mildly interesting, if probably poisonous for the coin's long-term prospects.
I don't like how the smarterhash discussion threadjacked the OP but hey I guess that's crypto for you.
I'm pretty sure I do better on my mining than any profit-switching multipool, paywall or otherwise, but I would point rigs to ipominer before paying to play at smarterhash.
Best of luck to Polybit dev team.
SmarterHash is NOT a profit switching multi-pool. Smarterhash is a scrypt coin mining recommendation engine that also offers mining pools to our users. We have pools for 51 scrypt coins but YOU make the decisions of which coin to mine based on data from SmarterHash and SmarterHash can assist your decision making process by allowing you to create 'alerts' that measure over 10 different coin metrics, then allowing you to link an "alert' to a 'mining strategy' (that you create which allows you do assign specific or all workers to certain coin), then through Smarterhash you can link Alerts to Mining Strategies that basically act as triggers to 'trigger' a mining strategy (switching all or selected workers to a selected coin) when a certain coin meet certain criteria established by you.
I am sure you cannot do better on your own than SmarterHash, simply because you do not have the time to perform all the calculations that SmarterHash does on nearly 60 scrypt coins every minutes including most recent price, block chain data, difficulty data, network hash rates, etc - plus we generate charts to help put the data into a visual graphical representation.
Simply trying to keep up to date on which coins pays the best "based on your hashing power" is more than a full time job and it's why I created SmarterHash - I got so frustrated with bad recommendations and all the time it took to gather good information then massage it down to something usable.
