Profitability will have to kill wafflepool for that to be the case tho

So anyone ran a parallel side-by-side comparison between clevermining and middlecoin?

CleverMining had some rough days after launch. First days had technical problems which affected profitability. Then we unsuccessfully thrown ourselves at DOGE with too little hashrate. Except these 7 days, previous profitability (during closed beta) was significantly higher than Waffle. I publish daily numbers for the last 30 days so you can check profitability history. Unfortunately comparing to Waffle will be hard as they stopped publishing long-term data very recently and now show only the last 7 days.

Comparing us to Middlecoin - and I am being honest here - we were worse in the last 7 days due to both technical problems and our inability to mine DOGE which was highly profitable (but we were better earlier, during closed beta). Both of these issues are out of equation now. We no longer have any technical problems and DOGE is no longer that profitable (it still sometimes is when a high-reward block is coming, but it's not that frequent). So I guess the next couple of days should be a good base for comparison with an equal playing field (starting today, Feb 14th, as DOGE halved its reward yesterday).

Taking a quick look at today's numbers:

WafflePool: Feb 14, 2014 (partial): 0.0070 BTC/day per MH/s
Middlecoin: Feb 14, 2014 (partial): 0.0104 BTC/day per MH/s (149% of WafflePool)
CleverMining: Feb 14, 2014 (partial): 0.0130 BTC/day per MH/s (186% of WafflePool, 125% of Milddlecoin)

I know the sample is absolutely tiny (13 hours) so there might be a big luck factor here, but I will continue watching the numbers in longer term.

Where these numbers come from: I have a script running that automatically fetches Middlecoin data and compares. I don't have a script for WafflePool so I just took what they publish on the website as Feb 14, 2014 (partial). CleverMining and Middlecoin compares exactly the same period (UTC time, so 13 hours since midnight). I don't know what timezone WafflePool uses but considering their yesterday result is very close to today's, different timezone shouldn't affect the numbers much.

I know that CleverMining has yet to earn its name by showing outstanding profitability and I believe it will happen soon.

I invite everyone who hesitates to join or rejoin. We really could use some more hashpower.
