The general conciseness seems to be that Middlecoin is just running all by itself with no one in charge or maintaining it. So, miners should beware.
This raises all sorts of questions for me. Like, why? And, how can it keep running at all?
Not only that, but according to poolpicker.eu it's average return is in line with other script pools for the last few weeks. Of course, all script pools are doing crap now... But my point is that middlecoin is supposedly doing it with both hands tied behind it's back.
How can it do that?
Simple - mine the site is mining the same old coins it has always had, like litecoin and dogecoin... The difference in profitiability between scrypt coins is so small now because of predominant multi-pool mining, that even if Middlecoin was only mining litecoin, it would be somewhat close to other pools.
However, you're absolutely nuts if you're still pointing hash at this pool.
Try:
WafflePool.com
or
CleverMining.com
or
heck, just mine some Litecoins.
