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

Sounds good. I've moved mine to only those algos too. If anyone else cares to join this experiment, feel free.

Hello gents, like what are you moving to. Splendid idea to exclude the useless algos, but it should be worked out.
Curious, what inteval (in sec) would you use in your test?

Mine are all on 180-seconds.

The 13 units on m7m I have the GPUs doing ITNS (Intense Coin) & are mostly AMD cards.

But I have 36 machines on the 4 algos discussed above -- 117 GPUs.

Initial results are promising. Even with BTC going way up overnight my profit per hour (measured in BTC) is actually higher than it was before switching to 4 algos.

Of course it needs more time to really confirm =)

It is neat, though, a few times I have been ~40-50% of the total pool Xevan hash-rate, haha.

This payment block (that was 0.0015 per hour) finished up at 0.0014 per hour. I will consider the idea verified if it lasts for a few days.
