Maximum profit switch % #268

Open Steality opened 6 years ago

Steality commented 6 years ago

Since some altcoin price sometimes are too good to be true to mine then leave the block orphaned, I think it will be good if maximum switching percentage added.

There is @@PERCENTTOSWITCH option in config file

True, but it only check for which is more profitable by means of minimum checking. Ahashpool, hashrefinery recently known to be mining a wrong chain and ended up profitability above 600%~1000%, then leave the block orphaned, which waste of time and power. Setting maximum percenttoswitch is necessary for this pool. Lets say profit x17 suddenly is above 600%, MM will detect the profit is "too good to be true" by select the preset range 10%<x<500%, hence ignore x17 and mine profitable algo within range.

Agree... and hopefully that prevents scenarios like this one: image

Although I wish it was true! :-)

I have seen this as well with zerg having crazy profitability on a coin but on other pools same coin is not even the most profitable.

IMHO ZPool and ZergPool are the ones that seem to pull additional traffic in with crazy rates.
