Yep. Middle now so so. Use https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514242.0 to see profits

They don't list middlecoin on that comparison page. It is a good chart but the pools it tracks change often and rarely include the ones I have used.

FWIW, I started with middlecoin 8 months ago. I ran my own charts comparing them with hash cows. There were daily differences but on average they were similar. That is until middlecon jumped on doge before anyone else and hash cows ran off with my coins Wink

I don't have any side by side comparison of middlecoin vs other pools any more, but to the people who claim middlecoin is dead I can certify that they are not. They may or may not be competitive in their coin selection. That I do not know.

I can also certify that they DO pay once you get to 0.01 coins and they always have. I have 8 months of history that confirms it. Whether they pay out dust after a week is a completely different story.

If the worst people can say about a pool is it doesn't automatically pay out balances so low that it won't even buy a cup of coffee .. Well, that's pretty high praise.

I probably defended h2odysee more than most in the last year and cheerleaded his efforts for the Doge run and the big manual trades.

But after the tealover Blackmail fiasco, h2o dropped out of site and hasn't even updated his twitter feed or IRC channel since March.

I can assure you... The pool is in full auto mode and H2odysee has abandoned it. No more big coin runs and no more big manual trades or coin choices. That all takes H20 to do these things. He left. No one has the reigns. If the pool isn't dead, it's in zombie mode. There are no more new coin picks. All the good things that it had over every other pool (and the fact that it was the first Multipool that paid BTC) we're due to the guy who left. I still blame it all on Tealover and his sycophants. I haven't mined on this pool since he dropped out of IRC and Twitter and neither should anyone else unless you like beating a long dead horse. It's time to pull the plug.

You give much credit where it isn't due. I spoke (via e-mail) to h20 a couple months ago, he told me what happened and it has nothing do with forum trolls. It's probably the reason he stopped showing up here, but not the reason for what's happened with the pool.

You didn't say why so maybe it's a personal reason and you don't want to say. Or maybe you're just waiting to be asked...
