Tried out your pool for a little bit.

Trying to cash out 0.01 btc, no reaction, page simply refreshes. It's been 8 hours since my try, I think.

We are at Hashcow thread and you give him a profitgraph of middlecoin?

Their website says that the coins are traded for bitcoins throughout the day. So when they get sold they should be able to give us an exact number for how much we are receiving. So they could add a counter for the ones that have already been traded.

Also, on the stats page, can you make it so that it shows all the rounds since the last time we cashed out? Rather than just one page of the most recent rounds?

Hi all,

just decided to switch to this auto switching pool considering I'll have 900kh/s for a couple of weeks and I want to maximise this in BTC but I have no time to manually switch every time to the best coin.

One small suggestion: ajax update (every 30 seconds so it's not too heavy on system) on the stats page? Looking forward to have some stats in the next hours...or days?  

just let it run a few days

That's what I was saying. I'd love to see a counter to see that my rigs are actually doing work rather than just an estimate that I can't confirm myself until it's cashed out.

Earlier I had an estimate after a round of .3BTC 2 hours later it says .01... pretty confusing

Okay so I did some calculations based on just the past 30 rounds for today. We all know the estimations are hosed but I wasn't aware how much they were hosed. My estimated BTC earnings for today is currently sitting at 0.01455106. I have mined 0.144726 in the past 30 rounds which includes the past 14:35:31. I'm estimating a payout around 0.23803709 BTC. Now this is of course taking into the fact that we have been having some VERY good rounds but, my calculations have averaged what I make per second and then I just extrapolate. This estimation will get more accurate when we get closer to the 24 hr mark but for now, is still wildly inaccurate (as is to be expected, statistically speaking).

To help everyone understand what kind of payout we can expect, I'm currently running 5 cards for a total of 3.1 MH/s which means I expect 0.076786158 BTC per MH/s. Very good day indeed! I hope this helps everyone with estimated payout questions for today.

Hash cows to the moon!

EDIT: Since doing the calculations and rechecking my estimated earnings on the statistics page, my payout has been reduced dramatically even though the round was paid in full before and after my calculations. Is there something amiss in the table as well?

That's quite worrying (in particular because I just started on this pool!)...any explanation from dev?

Exactly, pretty much what happened.

We check all coins profitability every few minutes, we have a base minimum time per round that we hit no matter what (because there is a small cost of lost mining time every switch), after that minimum time there are various rules to determine whether we should switch. Generally speaking, one coin has to be a decent amount more profitable than the current, to switch within X amount of time.

From time to time, we get unlucky and get no blocks but that's just the card we were dealt, so to speak

We can always increase the "base minimum time per round" so if that's something that will increase payouts we can do it.
