I killed off HSR due to the massive # of orphan blocks.

LBRY due to the huge time gap between blocks -- didn't seem worth it to have my miners swap over on it.

Bitcore also seemed a bit spotty in terms of time spent vs. reward.

My daily profits increased a noticeable amount after I dropped those & Lyra2z.

Hmmm. . . .anybody interested in some focused mining?

Zpool only pays out when it finds a block. If we reduce the number of algos we mine, that should increase the percentage of blocks found by zpool, which means more return for us.

My three favourite algos (for nvidia) at the moment are Skein, X17 and Lyre2RE2. If anyone wants to join me and focus on these (or has a better option), we could try it for a couple days and see if it makes a difference. Obviously people have differing opinions, so mine what you want.

Just a thought.

I would be game... if we could get a group together to commit to it.

I have 150 total GPUs (soon to be 200)... most running on ZPOOL.

With that many GPUs we should be following your lead then. Shocked

This is just an experiment for me; for you it would probably be more.

Anyway, not sure if we should focus on three algos, or just two. I'm hesitant to do just one as the likelihood of picking the best algorithm seems near impossible. Having two or three provides a better risk/reward (at least in my head).

The algos I've chosen seem to have a decent find rate on zpool, but are still under 5%. If we can up the pool's find rate by even 1%, that would be at least a 20% increase in payout. That's the thinking anyway, I'm sure there's a lot I'm missing. Do you have a preference for algos/number of algos?

I am going to put all my NVidia machines on X17, Neoscrypt, Tribus, and Xevan only for a few days and see how it goes =)
