I wish this pool will be alive again. Got a great profit when I mined in this pool.

Wonder where those lost blocks went..................

I'm not going to cry over spilled milk but profits better improve or I'm going back to another pool...

MC was one of the first big switching pools to go straight BTC so it was simple and easy. Lots of people copy concept now and have as good or better payouts. Why stay here? whats the point? The novelty of the idea is long gone.

That statement is of great concern on many many levels. This was basically what many people were suspecting and complaining about for several weeks. Was that code issue recently identified, and/or recently introduced into the system? With which layer was the issue identified? What happened to the blocks not registered against user accounts? They certainly did not disappear. These are questions we will obviously never get answers for.

There was a known issue with DOGE and Kittehcoin, bad forks basically. Everyone was told to stop mining them until the issue was sorted. h2o didnt reply for 4 days so I am guessing he was somewhere and didnt look after the pool. The pool was stuck mining shit basically, the bottom of the pit because the forks were bad. You can say those blocks never existed in the first place. I honestly doubt the guy is stealing coins, he was getting paid enough as is. It was clearly an issue with his code and the issue with coins, he just waited too long to fix it. This is what happens when you let your business slide, you lose half of it (10GH lost)

Personally, I will come back if the issues are sorted

I thought the issue was tied to the Doge fork. We may never know for sure.

As soon as I saw the fork issue, I disconnected 90% of the hash power. The other 10% went 24 hrs later. Doge was nearly always in the top 5 most profitable coins, which meant that middlecoin was sending quite a lot of hashes their way, as well as others.

Middlecoin fosters laziness on everyones part. Unless you are on holiday, better keep tabs on what's what on a daily basis.

You are a crazy man. I wonder if McDonald's stops making burgers when their managers walk away. Oh you guys weren't cooking burgers when I was gone!?

It comes down to a bottom-line type of situation. If H20 can deliver the most profits, anonymity will be afforded; However, he can not expect to deliver poor results and keep the anonymity. As of right now, anyone mining on MC this month (up to and including today) has earned significantly less than they would on a competing pool. Therefore, it makes sense to just move.

I have nothing personal against H20. This is just business. Nobody is forcing him to run the pool or forcing you to mine here. My advice to him would be: You're going to have to choose whether long-term viability of the pool is of importance or whether or not you're going to handle this as "make as much as I can while the iron is hot under."

It seems like the long-term viability and competitiveness of the pool is not really in his interest. Perhaps he is just looking to make as much as he can right now as the future is too uncertain. Nobody can answer those questions except H20 and it does not appear he wants to answer them. Unless he can quickly turn around and start outperforming all his competitors, this pool is not going to bounce back. The rate of addressing returns and issues is better at every other multipool. In order to deal with very poor customer service, MC is going to have to really start to outperform other pools but that is very unlike to happen because the arbitrage opportunities are declining everyday. Other multipools are competing vigorously for the marketshare H20 had unchallenged just a month ago.

I dont get your analogy...
The pool operator stepped away when an issue came up, that issue being bad forks in certain coins. Pool continued to mine nothing...Pool operator was not there to fix it in time. Its the same thing as a manager in McDonalds going about his business elsewhere when the place runs out of burger meat...

The analogy is the McDonalds is one of, if not the biggest fast food companies. Middlecoin is the one of, if not the biggest profit switching mining pools.

McDonalds has deliveries every morning to make sure they are stocked and don't run out of burger meat.

Is it that hard to check your computer? After all, he is making a lot of money.

I think H20 is living up the good life and burning through the $$ while it lasts

Why settle for 100 dollars when you can have 200 ?

You my friend are retarded. I am well aware what a McDonalds is. Your analogy is fucking terrible.

And the personal bashing I never missed from Middlecoin.

You have a better one?

Also, you said you didn't get my analogy. I explained. Sorry for being "retarded" chief.

You run the pool, you need to watch the pool. This is a business. da fuq?

Please allow me to quote myself from the wafflepool forum. I'm too lazy to rant differently and this might help some miners willing to change ship.

Ty PW for the updates. Coming from middlecoin (as many others) I find this thread strangely familiar:

Reason for switching: Wafflepool and others are vastly superior to middlecoin. We have better payout per MH, long live vardiff, we're not as big and we can mine smaller coins, lower rejects, coin visibility, great pool owner updates etc.

A few days mining happily and I get:

1. Lower payout for MH (getting at MC level)
2. F**k H20, he put a fixed diff, he's an idiot etc.... well OF COURSE it's a lower load on the servers so it's a good thing. Someone had to do it first and catch the bullets before it's considered norm.
3. Now that sfire has joined WP (hi btw) we're a big pool and we have to implement an algo for spreading the hash ... kind off what MC has been doing lately.
4. Lower rejects are great but ... well... payout being comparable to others with bigger rejects it's merely a visual thingy.
5. I know what coins we mine. This helps me greatly when I have to explain why we HAVE to mine LTC sometimes and why websites' profit charts sometimes don't paint the whole picture. People always get my explanations and never ask again /s. I guess MC's fog of war over mined coins helped...
6. PW is busy creating profit for us and not having to answer lots of (sometimes stupid, sometimes asked a zillion times) questions. Maybe a twitter account might help?
7 God damn unexchanged/unconfirmed piling up in MC is EVIL. H2O is stealing!. WP doesn't have high unexchanged until it has to manually trade new and exotic coins for witch no exchange can help. And the unexchanged will pile up. and PW will steal our coins. Of course he wouldn't, that's H20's thing...


The only thing missing is SimonG (who resurrected on MC thread, I think he has a SMS service tuned in with the level of FUD/despair in MC) and tealover who's retired after Angela kicked his ass. As I said, I feel like home. Maybe my old Hashcows account still works?

[Sk1llS]

Hope h2o made enough cash to retire because he's just pissed away a gold mine (excuse the pun). Down to 13 Gh/s, soon to be over taken by PoolWaffle. It was fun while it lasted MC. RIP
