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

[hodger]

The EU server isn't very profitable at the moment. It's constantly mining DOGE.

If you have less than 250 ms ping to the US server, I suggest mining there, even though you get disconnects on coin switches.

I'll be upgrading the EU server to switch coins just like the US server within the next couple of days.

I was wondering what sort of ping response cutover figure to aim at.  I'm getting sub-200 on US, so over I go (for now at least).

Keep up the good work guys.

Woo Hoo!

The unexchanged is exchanging. The question is, will it hit the MOON for the first time?

haha yeah I just saw my red line shoot upwards

A tip that might be of interest to some others:  Using load-balancing in cgminer seems to be smoothing out the frequent coin-switch disconnects on the US server:

Config example:

"pools" : [
        {
                "quota" : "8;stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "",
                "pass" : "x"
        },
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "",
                "pass" : "x"
        }
],
"load-balance" : true

This will get the majority of work (8/9) from the US server, and the other 1/9th from the EU server.  When a disconnect happens on pool 0, you will usually have some work from pool 1 to switch to right away, so you lose a lot less hashing time vs sitting idle.  It isn't perfect - still losing a bit of hash rate on switches, but it doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as without.

i tested that out thru out the day and still get some getwork failures on us but not as bad with the recompiled cgminer and load balance im gettng 1 getwork failure every 3 mins right now so far better then it used to do.

Not complaining just saying.

Today was a lower payout than expected. I guess those who stayed on the US server will be getting better payouts if the chart is to be believed. I attempted to switch to the US server yesterday (I am based in the US) but even with the recompiled miner the connection interrupts and constant switching made my hashrate plummet so I thought it would be best to stick with the EU server.

i bouced between us and eu server last 2 days yesterday i made 31usd today i made 25usd with 2.3mhash.

Doge is plummeting relative to BTC, so since that's what the EU server is mining, it won't earn you as much. The EU server is much is more stable though.

Fair enough. I'll take the good with the bad. Payout was better than if I mined LTC so it's all good.

A question for H2o....

From the looks of it you are using Amazon EC2 to host the frontend, does that extend to the backend as well?

If so, are you looking to launch any server instances in the Sydney region as well as there are a number of Australian miners who would appreciate a regional hub to use.

Finally - many thanks for the amazing work and returns you have managed to date, keep it up!

[h2odysee]

First I'm going to fix up the EU server, then I'm setting up either Toyko, Singapore, or Hong Kong. Then I'll look at other places like Australia.

[Gamer67]

Eu server ? I thought it was the US server that was fubar ?

The only problem with the US server is the disconnects on coin switches, which I'm fixing.

The EU server is just on DOGE with no switching, which was fine until recently.

[Gamer67]

Oh, OK. Thanks for all that you do it is much appreciated.

[gtraah]

Ok, sorry, but yesterday night i got paid about 2.40 BTC. Last night I got paid 2.70 BTC. This night I was hoping to get at least 2.5 BTC, but right now I don't have more then 1.4 btc.

That's insane man. How many rigs are you running? Give us some details about your setup. How much money have you invest so far?

Stop bitching about only getting 2.4 BTC per day. Its about 2000$ per day. Im only getting 20$.

You cant say that, his power pill is going to be VERY high so you neeed to take into the account that he invested quite alot so he NEEEDs this profit back untill he pays what all the miners cost and then pays for the power costs and possible Rent if he has rented out the space as the room that all these servers are in is basically taken over by rigs.

Using both the US and EU servers is working well for me. I have them set using load balancing in cgminer which seems to submit more shares to the US server, but my miners never run out of work even during coin switches (less than 30 sec downtime in the last hour and a half).

Also, I am running cgminer 3.1.1 (on windows 7), which doesn't seem to have the disconnect, crash, and non-restart issues people are reporting with newer versions of cgminer. It's stable for at least a week on either server with all my rigs.

Thanks for the quick reply H2o - it makes sense you want to cover the bigger zones first to improve the overall load balance and stability before moving onto the smaller regions. With lessons learned from the EU rollout that would be your priority right now but it's good to hear you have a plan of action moving forward.

Pick Singapore!

i will say using load balance now i dont see my gpus goin idle even tho im still getting getwork failures i did complile a few differt versions of cgminer with the changes h20 gave us.

               "quota" : "8;stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333",

I had a problem with the "quota" line. I changed it to "url" and it is working. What is the purpose of the "quota" parameter?
