not really because it's mineable directly - anyone who wants to obtain TEK via mining, can do it directly.
multipool-ex's are only of use to coins which have ended PoW - you multi-mine other coins to trade for TEK.
Yes but it might be one of the only sha multipool setups that make sense, since tek forces itself into below bitcon mining profits nearly always
it would make more sense to setup a scrypt or X11 multipool which mines alts and trades them for TEK, why would I point my SHA rig at a multi to get TEK when I can mine it myself? remember there are fees involved right through the process when you muli-exchange-pool... mining tx fees, trading fees out, trading fees in, sending fees... et al
Multipool's purpose is to allow all Algo miners to mine different coins, sell and then buy TEK. I never meant it should be limited to TEK.
i understand what you are saying, i think that multipools are all a pretty bad idea.. i've tried them and soon realised that my getting the honour of paying fees right through is foolhardy, most multipool-exchanges don't get enough miners to actually assist with price pumps on any coin, which is what they are all billed to do.
I'm sure you would get miners to mine on it, but most people soon realise that their earnings in TEK would be more by either mining a coin and trading it themselves to buy TEK, or just mining TEK direct - unless of course the multi you are mining on is soaking up all the fees;
1. % fee to mine at the multi
2. % fee to trade mined alt at exchange
3. % fee to trade mined alt to TEK
4. % fee to send TEK to miner from exchange
whereas, If i point my scrypt rig at (examplecoin) and trade it myself for TEK, i've reduced the fees I pay in the process.
Most people won't have free time to do this, and also many algo's profitability changes because of vast number of coins. You are luck enough to have the time and info to figure out profitability of each coin and keep switching, but some people don't have the time and a multipool is a sensible idea.
i'm not so sure.. it takes not much time at all to check coinwarz as to which is the most profitable coin, but.. in saying that it is regular that the coin which a multi points at may be profitable at the point of mining, but when the coin actually gets to the exchange for trading, price can have dropped drastically. I see what you are saying and i'm sure it may be an option for some.. I wouldn't advise making any substantial investment in setting up a multipool however. If Thunder can get a multi running at no cost to himself or the community, then it may be worth something.
CoinWarz is useless in my experience, very slow to update diff of any coin, causes losses e.t.c
