An unfortunate update.

So after about a day, I ended up having some hardware issues.  I went to make an adjustment, and apparently damaged a riser.  This caused things to go out of whack a little, and currently I'm running on 3 cards (just mining as normal).

Having said that, I've got some extra risers on the way, so once things are stable again, I will start them all back up.

The only one that truly paid out was Middlecoin so far:

0.01743666 BTC

For the others, it's a little harder to tell as there's a threshold before it pays out from the pool to cryptsy, and another threshold before cryptsy trades, trades getting stuck, etc.  Here's the "Estimated" Cryptsy balances after that first day:

UltimateCoinPool - 0.00849061 BTC
SwitcherCoin - 0.00768456 BTC
MultiPool - 0.00072981 BTC

Of course I'd like to get at least a week into solid mining on all four cards before making any real judgement, as I'm sure the pools are holding some value and it takes time to get a correct read from profit pools, so please hold off on speculation until then.  Smiley

I'll post again when I'm confident that my rig is stable.
