It is on Cryptsy but it's only worth 0.00002, not 0.03. Flound needs to fix this ASAP.

Correction, it's only worth 0.00000125. 

For those who aren't aware, Cryptsy had a problem with their LKY wallet starting late November 20th. They only got around to fixing it on the 1st of December. Once their wallet was fixed, it had to catch up to 10 days worth of transactions. Since I believe many people who mine LKY quickly sell them using Cryptsy's handy auto-sell feature, all of a sudden they had 10 days worth of sell orders being put in rapid succession. I personally had 16 deposits all of about 100 LKY which were sitting in limbo. A few were sold at a reasonable price but with so many sell orders being put in and not enough buys, the price quickly tanked. Lucky for me, I caught and cancelled most of my orders which were at a ridiculously low price then disabled the auto-sell. Today I just sold 748 LKY coins at a price of 0.00003803 BTC. Back on the 20th of November (the last time I sold LKY coins before the Cryptsy wallet went down) I got 0.00000164 BTC. So as of today. LKY coins are worth 23 times more than they did before the whole Crypty debacle.

From what I can see, Cryptsy is all caught up and LKY coins can now be re-enabled on the multipool. It will probably be a while before it will be sufficiently profitable to mine anyways.

I had a LKY deposit go through on December 1st however I'm still missing 16 deposits.

Same here, I see 9 payments on Multipool, only 4 have appeared on Cryptsy. All the missing payments are LKY. There is only one LKY deposit which is pending since 1 AM, all the other 5 deposits aren't even pending on Cryptsy. The oldest missing deposit is from 5 AM.

I've been having connection problems too. At one point all my workers saw the multipool as begin dead, at this time most of my workers can connect, only one still can't.

Custom diff was working for me on SHA-256 but it's no longer working. I get anywhere from 32 to 50 on a 660 Mh/s worker.

Edit: Weird, a few minutes later and custom diff is working again...

Edit2: Diff is acting up again...

Autosell wasn't working for all coins but they seem to have fixed it now. Why would you dump PXC? It's more often profitable than LKY.

That's because the pool has not found a block yet. At the current pool hash rate it could take as much as two weeks to find a block. But not to worry, all your shares are counted and when the pool finds a block you will get your portion of coins. We need more hash power onto sha-256.

Definitely a problem with the profitability calculations, Coinchoose shows it at about 5.

I agree, LKY doesn't become profitable to mine because its value has gone up, it's because its difficulty has dropped precipitously. It doesn't happen very often but when it does, it only makes sense to mine it. I wouldn't mind if more coins which are some times highly profitable were added to the pool.

Good to know, however I was watching the multipool one evening and saw it switch to WDC and soon after LKY jumped up to 10.8. It took about 10 minutes before the switch over to LKY. LKY is only profitable to mine every three-four days and only for about 20 minutes. If we don't jump onto it as soon as it becomes profitable then there isn't much point in having it on the multipool.

This is no-longer an issue since flound has switched the pool to a proportional system. You get paid for the amount of shares you submit.

Actually the profitability peak lasts about 20 minutes, the problem is it only happens every three days or so.

Something weird just happened, all the coins profitability dropped to zero except for WDC therefore the multiport switched to WDC. Now WDC is also at zero...

Update; profitability calculations seem to have returned to normal, but to re-enforce my point above, LKY is now at a profitability of 10.8 yet the multiport is staying on WDC which is at 3. Looks like we might miss it completely...

Update; ok so we didn't miss it completely but we only got the tail end of it...

Ok, but wouldn't be better to have a minimum difference instead of a minimum mining time. Let's say we start mining a coin that has a minimum mining time of 10 minutes but soon thereafter an other coin's profitability jumps up to triple the current coin's profitability. Wouldn't it be best to switch to that coin immediately instead of "wasting" 10 minutes on the lower profitability coin? A good example is MNC which sees significant peaks in profitability that last less than 10 minutes. Because of the minimum mining time, I think we might sometimes completely miss some of these peaks. Maybe you could combine a minimum mining time with a minimum difference. For example, stay on current coin a minimum 10 minutes unless another coin is more than 50% more profitable. After 10 minutes switch to the next most profitable coin only if 1-2% more profitable. This may actually reduce the amount of coin switching and increase total profitability.

-Just a suggestion-


By the way, your pool keeps getting more and more awesome!

Yes, but didn't you increase the handicap on LTC to prevent the multipool from switching to it unless it was significantly more profitable?

You misunderstand what flound is saying. The Mulipool can switch coins just as often as before, the round time has nothing to do with switching.

Besides, he has since switched to a proportional system which I believe doesn't even use round times.

from DeepBit: "You get a portion of every solved block proportional to your part in pool's hashing power."

Flound can correct me if I'm wrong but this is the way I understand it; Let's say it took 10000 shares before a block was found and you submitted 200. You would get 200/10000 (2%) of the value of the solved block.

To me this is the best and most fair payment method. You get paid exactly the amount you should for the portion of work you put in.

That was fast, thanks Flound. Did you remove all the handicaps and the minimum time to mine certain coins coins since this isn't necessary anymore using a proportional system. You should simply have a minimum difference before the multipool switches from one coin to another to prevent it rapidly switching, say 1%.

Wow, that's a significant change... increasing the round times should help quit a bit. But it also means your database will grow by a huge margin as you now have to keep track of a lot more shares. I hope this won't cause any issues...

But this part is what surprised me the most: "I'm going to be moving to a proportional-like payment system soon". That's what I've been asking for all along. THANK YOU!!!
