2011-09-28 New enhanced version of to auto-worker. We've added possibility to set handicap for each coin. It affects algorithm of selection of most profitable coin. It can be used together with auto-worker. It works just like handicap in soccer betting. If you prefer some coin over others you can se...

OK. Thanks

Hi We are using old version of namecoind in our pool atm. I understand that I must update it to the newest one before block 19200. My question is will new version work without any additional setup or changes to the pool? i.e Is it possible to run it without merged mining enabled/supported for the ti...

2011-09-13 New features added. 1. New improved version of AUTO worker is available. Now you can choose what coins can be mined using this kind of worker! For example if you want to enable automated mining only on SC and BTC : - go to “My account” page - set checkboxes in column “Auto” for BTC and SC...

That would be true
Believe me I'm not so lazy. Just overwhelmed by work

Mining with Diablo, through Flexible Mining Proxy. So, when profitability ratio for solid is 0.99, you would expect all Auto workers to switch to bit? Didn't observe this. Did you observe your own workers? If yes, you can (by refreshing "My account" page) instantly see what shares delivers given wo...

It is very simple algorithm.

Of course I'm planning to introduce more advanced methods but now I want to listen what methods users would like to have.

PS
What miner do you use?

Back with you. Overnight I was mining with doublec's pool - 2% reject rate. Currently seeing 0% at coinotron - we'll see how that holds up! I'm curious too. Server is brand new, more RAM and cores. Previously at 70GH/s I observed serious slowdowns, CPU usage 50-80%. Currently at 30 GH/s CPU usage u...

Died for 1.5 day. Disk failure :( Yes there was a lot of rejects but they were caused by ultra fast solving of new blocks. It takes som time to send work for all waiting in LP queque. If during that tim new block is solved ... you understand. For comparison: after server's crash I pointed my workers...

I will support merged mining if it has similar to original bitcoin client JSON api. ATM I'm rather skeptic regarding its real life performance. But I didn't read how it is realized nor browsed through client source code nor tested client.
I must once a week introduce brand new coin to the pool
