Ty PW for the updates. Coming from middlecoin (as many others) I find this thread strangely familiar:

Reason for switching: Wafflepool and others are vastly superior to middlecoin. We have better payout per MH, long live vardiff, we're not as big and we can mine smaller coins, lower rejects, coin visibility, great pool owner updates etc.

A few days mining happily and I get:

1. Lower payout for MH (getting at MC level)
2. F**k H20, he put a fixed diff, he's an idiot etc.... well OF COURSE it's a lower load on the servers so it's a good thing. Someone had to do it first and catch the bullets before it's considered norm.
3. Now that sfire has joined WP (hi btw) we're a big pool and we have to implement an algo for spreading the hash ... kind off what MC has been doing lately.
4. Lower rejects are great but ... well... payout being comparable to others with bigger rejects it's merely a visual thingy.
5. I know what coins we mine. This helps me greatly when I have to explain why we HAVE to mine LTC sometimes and why websites' profit charts sometimes don't paint the whole picture. People always get my explanations and never ask again /s. I guess MC's fog of war over mined coins helped...
6. PW is busy creating profit for us and not having to answer lots of (sometimes stupid, sometimes asked a zillion times) questions. Maybe a twitter account might help?
7 God damn unexchanged/unconfirmed piling up in MC is EVIL. H2O is stealing!. WP doesn't have high unexchanged until it has to manually trade new and exotic coins for which no exchange can help. And the unexchanged will pile up. and PW will steal our coins. Of course he wouldn't, that's H20's thing...


The only thing missing is SimonG (who resurrected on MC thread, I think he has a SMS service tuned in with the level of FUD/despair in MC) and tealover who's retired after Angela kicked his ass. As I said, I feel like home. Maybe my old Hashcows account still works?
