[ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com

Is there any reason why no 'unexchanged' coins have been exchanged in the past 5-6 hours?

H2O, please respond. Unchanged coins are piling up and balance has been flat-lining today.

There is an issue with cryptsy deposits. I'm looking into it.

True. I am waiting for my LTC deposit for over 12 hours now!!!

I started using middlecoin few days ago and so far I am pretty much satisfied.

The cryptsy admin is in vegas for the bitcoin conference. So I'm sure it will be sorted out soon. I made sure it wasn't a fork or anything.

Hehe, once it gets fixed i expect a couple of altcoins to take a plummet in value

at least the graph shows whats happening, thanks Coingeek.  My balance was a vertical line almost before that, jet engine ascent

[youngmathimus]

numbers aren't updating, i wonder if they will catch up or simply resume. a lot of coin unaccounted for

[chadtn]

I got a strange random payment that I can't account for.  Something might be screwy.

hey, just started out mining and switched to your pool 7 hours ago, so far so good, just one thing. Currently I get about 5-8% rejection rate of my shares, wanted to ask if that is normal or I should look into my machine configuration?

5-8% rejection rate is par for the course here at middlecoin; in fact, some people have higher rate than that, so count yourself lucky.

thanks, I was panicking that maybe my card cant overclock and run stable, I was getting 15-20% at hasco which is pretty stupid. I am currectly sitting ant 2-3% reject rate at middlecoin which is great

Hi,
I just started mining with middlecoin a couple of days ago. But I feel like I am getting very low returns. I have an R9 x280 averaging at 720kH/s running 24/7. But my payouts so far have been only 0.0064, 0.0074, 0.0108, 0.00297 BTC. Doesnt that seem a tad too low? I have less than 5% rejects. When I look at the average profit graph of middlecoin, I think I should get more, don't I?
This way I think I can actually earn more just mining LTC.

Thanks

Do you have DGC in the mix of currencies?

[jedimstr]

Yes, much thanks for the cool graphs. Does it tend to lag a few minutes/hours? or is it fairly real-time?

I collect a snapshot of the data every 10 minutes. The graphs should normally be about that up to date. The last few days there have been issues and the graphs may be lagging more than that, but hopefully they will be back to normal soon.

Individual user charts seem stuck again. No update in hours. 

Main site chart seems ok though (ok in terms of updates, Cryptsy induced unexchanged rates notwithstanding).

When I look into the payment, I laugh a lot. This pool uses a grade-7 algorithm to switch pools. That's why the payout is so low

What sort of algorithm would you suggest? If you have ideas, why not contact H2odyssee and work together on further improving this (imo already really nice) pool?

The difficulty is the same as as litecoin right now.. is that a coincidence? i have about 1.4mhash I can throw here. But from the looks of some of the people, I would have better luck on hypernova for LTC. can anyone confirm/deny?

LTC is in the mix, so it could be that we're now mining LTC if it's currently the most profitable alt coin. It might be that right now that means that a pure LTC mining pool gives a slightly higher profit, but this pool is mostly for people that want to set-it and forget-it, while getting a decent amount of BTC for the amount of kh/s or mh/s sent.

The graph code may still have some problems this morning but I think I discovered the underlining problem. The server that the virtual machine was running on at Rackspace had problems. I had them migrate me to a different server and my performance issues went away.

What was happening was that the CPU would go to 100% while running the graph code and eventually things would bog down to the point that I would have to reboot the server. I did a bunch of work to improve performance but in the end the problem wasn't my fault. (things are running faster now though .

Reboots always hung and I'd have to get a tech to help. On about the fifth reboot late last night, the guy noticed there were a bunch of other instances on the same server having problems and recommended migration. They did that some time in the night.

So, any remaining problems are probably due to changes I made trying to fix things. I should have things back later today.

The payout was less than optimal. In the last 19 hours, we're at 40% LTC luck (4 blocks).

Since we've been mainly on LTC for most last night and this morning, I hope we are having better luck than the day above.  Any way of telling us what the luck has been on LTC?

53.6%

We were on LTC because of cryptsy deposit issues and I didn't want to stockpile too much of some currencies.

This pool takes a solid 3 or 4 days of mining before you really get an idea what the payout is going to be. This is because some of the coins mined take up to 3 days or so to mature. That said, yesterday, due to an exchange problem, the payout was very very low, with most of our "work" going into the unexchanged balance. This should (hopefully) mean that once the issue is fixed payouts will be higher than normal for a day or two.

From what I've experienced, payout per 1000kh/s has been around 0.016BTC/day or so, thus I would expect one R9 280x to make 0.011-0.012BTC/day

You might make more on another pool, however, the convenience of Middlecoin is really sweet, especially if you have 10,000 KH/s or more mining power...
