I mined xevan algo. yesterday. because, Northern(NORT) coins are now profitable. but, my all miners were mining Solaris coins. Nevertheless the pool always shows NORT coins are more profitable than Solaris coins.  Cry

I think mining coin selecting option is needed. How about make a option additionally? Some other pools already have it.
"-p c=BTC,mc=NORT"

I agree...I love the mc=XXX option at Zergpool. Some of the math gets tricky when you're dealing with auto-exchange coins vs. non-auto-exchange. If you're focusing all your power on mining a single coin, should you get shares from other coins mined via the normal auto-profit prioritization? Or vice-versa?
Hey all,

Thank you for the suggestion!  Is Zergpool the only one who offers this coin?  I will have my dev partner look into adding this as a feature!

Really if we implemented the single coin, you should only get shares and profit from the coin you are mining since you would not be contributing to the auto exchange power.  

I believe the way Zerg does it (and I'm sure others do) is by tracking hash rate per coin within the algorithm. i.e. the pool tracks a separate share % for each of the coins within the algorithm. For those that are switching around via the normal auto-exchange method, they'll have small share %'s of all the coins that make it to the top of the profitable list. For those mining a single coin via the "mc=" method, they generally have a much bigger share of that one coin (and only that coin) since they are constantly mining it.
