I agree in some way, but there is a risk the coin drops further or goes back to 0.00000000001

Also another problem here is the pool owner does not get his profits straight away then and I guess they think the price can drop further so that extra work off holding , and cashing out at a better can be for nothing especially if it drops then there some manual work needed which i think most do not want this.

 This is the problem with multipools The pool owners are in for the profit not for the coin industry they are the ones making the larger profits daily by the time the coin industry is depleted if it does become depleted that is, they have already made there 100s of thousands of profit, the question is how much have we made?

We mined the F out of it and value dropped immensly ... my vote hold coins till it recovers exchange value ...

which might be a good tactic for profitability of the pool if we hammer a coin and price starts falling badly, hold coins and exchange when coin recovers?  (as long as my shares are recorded LOL!)

I'm in this for the long haul and holding coins is not a big problem for me ... sell when advantageous ...

In the future of pool development maybe an auto-trading bot would be cool too buying/selling the more lucrative coins before cashing out to BTC for members.

out of my range but might be worth it for a pool operator to buy.

Let bot trade for 1 day before payouts ...
arbitrage? between multiple exchanges could increase profit also ..

I would devote 100% mining power to the pool if this would become a reality, there is a LOT of profit to be made in trading back and forth coin to coin ...

@poolwaffle hope you are using RAID redundency on the servers ... I keep all my important stuff (movies, wallets, music collection on RAID-5 and as I am running 24/7 I have drive fails approx every 2 months so far recoverable and RMA failed drives, always keep a spare online)

my wallets on SSD and backed-up daily to another RAID-5 and flash drives also.
