Cute!

If only you could make the default size of address input field smaller- it takes up about a dozen lines now. My guesstimate it most people here don't need more than three

Yep, didn't change a thing in the config which used to work until recently.

Didn't see any announcements here or on the main page at middlecoin.com either, did I miss something?

somehow of the three servers (eu., useast. and middlecoin.com) my miner is connecting only straight to middlecoin.com. In other cases it just reports that "No servers were found that could be used to get work from" after several minutes of inactivity. Al three are pingable just fine.
Is it just me or...?

well, dunno about that: I mined doge at dogehouse/suchcoins for almost two last days with about 1.2 mh/s when doge was hovering at the top of the profitability chart, and exchanged equivalent is around 0.03btc, which is around 0.013 btc/mh/day

Well, 1024 diff seems like a dealbreaker for weaker miners. After seeing one of the miner with 460 kh/s making 3 resets in a row via cgwatcher (set to restart miner if no shares were accepted within 5 minutes), I have the urge to switch it to mining doge straight. Any recommendations on the reliable pool for that?

Yeah, that would be true for a pool mining a single coin for many hours straight.

I don't think that middlecoin really switches 1500 times a day as someone guesstimated a few pages back. But with frequent coin switching and below average performance rig (sub 500 kh/s) your chances of getting a share accepted before the pool moves on to the next block or switch to another coin occurs are lower with 1024 diff.

This Scottish farmer walks into the neighborhood pub, and orders a whiskey.

"Ye see that fence over there?" he says to the bartender. "Ah built it with me own two hands! Dug up the holes with me shovel, chopped doon the trees for the posts by me ownself, laid every last rail! But do they call me 'McGregor the Fence-Builder?' No..."

He gulps down the whiskey and orders another. "Ye see that pier on the loch?" He continues, "Ah built it me ownself, too. Swam oot into the loch to lay the foondations, laid doon every single board! But do they call me 'McGregor the Pier-Builder?' No."

"But ye fuck ONE sheep ..."

Those of you who use CGwatcher to monitor your performance, which values do you typically have in "Efficiency" field?
As I understand, it shows Getworks to Accepted shares ratio. I noticed that it used to hover between 90% and 100% on this miner (7970 at 760kh/s) before the boom of middlecoin, but nowadays it never goes above 40%. I also use "restart miner if # of accepted shares doesn't change for 3 minutes", but I guess with the latest upping to 1024 diff I have to be more conservative and set it to like 5 or 6 minutes.
What do you guys think?

Happy New Year everybody!

How good is middlecoin pool for weaker miners?

I've got two miners at different locations pointed to eu server.
Miner #1 is about 760 kh/s (7970), miner #2 is about 460 kh/s (6950).

According to cgwatcher, "efficiency" for #1 is around 95%, while for #2 it's 53%.
Is there any way to improve the efficiency of mining on a pool with a fixed difficulty using miner like #2?
Or am I missing some other factors maybe?

I also have a feeling that earnings do not have the same ratio as hashrates/WUs (both around 1.7) of the miners, but I need more time of uninterrupted simultaneous mining to be sure...

Does anybody have any experience with multiple miners arrangement under the same worker name?

Say for example you have several miners available, some of them are slower (about 40 kh/s), some are faster (400-700 kh/s), and they are geographically in different locations.

Is it better to use the same worker in configs for those miners, or should I assign different worker names to every miner?

I have a feeling it used to be more responsive before redesign about a month ago.
