I'm loving this pool.  Thanks for making altcoin mining fun again.

Nice work with adding the exchange rate.
It would also be nice to see a todo list of what you guys are planning to add in the future. Any news on when we can expect managed trading?

A+ keep up the great work

Thanks! If there are any exchanges that both offer APIs *and* often list new coins, feel free to post here and we'll look into adding those as well.

@Forcecast Offering managed trading is very much still a "maybe" at this point. We haven't decided to do it yet for certain, but if we do we'll still have to write code to implement it.

@saykor Prices can come from multiple exchanges, so we use a weighted average. (More reputable exchanges are given a greater weight.) In the future we are am planning on adding a separate page for prices by exchange with graphs and historical data.

We seem to have been mining BlitzCoin for ages but according to the "most profitable" table at the top right it is currently the least profitable of the top 5:

I am new to the pool.  I am wondering, what happens if you switch over to a coin that I have yet to provide a wallet address?  Do they go into a holding tank somewhere?  Trying to understand this type of pool.

Thanks in advance!

It looks as though it goes into a holding tank until you cash it out to a wallet or exchange to anyone else with the same question.

Recently, we've been linking to the bitcointalk announcement threads for coins we add in the ipoMiner.com front page News area.

@nidhogg1 @bbr We're mining BLTZ because it is the most profitable coin with enough difficulty and buy volume to soak up our collective sells, and has the potential to continue rising as it only features a total of 1 week of PoW mining. PAWN, PIG, and EFL don't have high enough difficulty or enough buy support to be worth mining currently. We could mine them for a few blocks before KGW adjusts the difficulty to the added hashrate, but then people would be ending up with dust from multiple coins on multiple exchanges, which isn't ideal. Note that our current multiport does not switch automatically based on immediate profitability, but is rather a managed switching process based on regular evaluation.

@LosMiner Yes, that's correct. Mined coins are held on the site until you cash them out.
