Middlecoin is obviously your main target here.
So if i was you, i'd read their forum and glean as much information from all the complains and praise on there aswell.
That is excellent advice. I have been mining on middlecoin myself for some time now, and I have been following that forum closely.
Middlecoin is where I mine most of the time (my rigs are pointed there right now). I like almost everything about it. If it seemed like I was targeting anything or attempting to put down a service that was unintentional. I was only pointing out that I would like to have the option of having all the benefits of middlecoin but be able to choose which coins I want not autotraded. I realize that this can be done on Multipool, however doing this on multipool still requires me to do all the trading of the coins I want exchanged, and the auto-sell feature on cryptsy is never as profitable as middlecoin.
