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.

I did not take any middlecoin hate from your message, but yes, lots of functions and stats is not their selling point. And multipool lacks the auto trade for sure. I set my multipool up to auto payout and auto trade against an exchange. It can be done, but it's a pain, and you get stuck with lots of small amounts of coins, you cant get exchanged.

Sure. My experience with one of the multi mining pools i used to mine on SHA256. Pool calculates current most profitable coin and switch all users to mine the coin. But at some point the most profitable coin is bitcoin, which is impossible to find a block with a current number of miners. Or PPC coin, which has quite big difficulty and very low chance finding a block. I don't see any reason to spend 30 minutes digging bitcoin or PPC with no chance to find a single block, instead of doing DEM or UNO meanwhile.

I think this is just about the auto switching doing proper maths. Obviously there is no point in switching to a pool, where there is little to no chance of getting a payout unless you mine it for a very long time. But there is where p2 pool is good. Even if we point a very little mining power on a coin like bitcoin, we will get a payout relative to the hashes we solved. But you can be sure that we will be testing this and not wasting mining power on something that gives no payout.

Pool operators that cater for newbie miners (like me still) or who loves statistics and cute websites do otherwise. Meanwhile they destroy coins, the value and the mining scene. They offer profits to someone else's trading bots, instead of to miners. The ones that are into such mining scene for more than a few weeks, get this crystal clear.

Besides what impacts profit, I don't want anything. Basically what is required for having:
- Nearby stable low latency pool
- No connection loss on coin switching
- Low rate of rejects/orphans/discarded
- Good choice of coin
- Very good trading bot/algo

Everything else is a waste of your time and effort. For me, you don't even need a website.

Edit: if you want to offer transparency, you can show on the website the coins you mined in the past, no need to show what you're mining NOW.

We are working hard on reaching all the goals you mention here.

About not letting people know what we are mining, I don't know if I fully agree, but I do think you have a valid point and we will consider it. Thank you for your feedback.
