Prohashing Mining Pool Forums

Is it possible to mine in your miningpool but exclude the sexcoin and cannabiscoin?
Any specific configuration on the miner to be able to do the above?

i know they have the "c=" command for a single coin, to mine it


allmost like the need an ex=

an exclude command

Well, it should be pretty easy to avoid at least 1 of them at a time per miner. Sexcoin is Scrypt based, while Cannabiscoin is X11.
So depending on which algo you are mining on, only 1 at a time will be a factor per working miner rig.

That being said...are you just opposed to the names of the coins? Are you a Mormon or Jehovah witness that has a moral issue with mining coins named like that? You understand the miner can be set to mine whatever the pool says to mine, but you can pick the payout in the coin you like. So your dirty little miners can still mine Buddahcoin, Allahcoins, Zencoins, aand even satancoins and you can be paid out in Litecoins and not go to hell for it.*

Why?

Do you not know how mining works?

If you do not like these coins due to their name and don't want to contribute to their creation, you realize that does nothing right?

A specific amount of coins will be mined each and every day for every kind of cryptocurrency out there, regardless of you mining it or not. For instance, lets just say 2600 coins are mined each day in sexcoin as that is the daily block reward amount, right?

If one person is mining sexcoin for the whole day: 2600 are made.

If 1 million people are mining sexcoin for the whole day: 2600 are made.

As far as i understand it, there could be a little fluctuation if a huge amount of hashrate comes online at once and the cryptocurrency does not have time to react to the difficulty change needed, but you, as one person, are not going to change it.

So if you don't want to mine those coins because, again, you feel you have no desire to contribute to the creation of those coins: Too bad, you mining them or not does diddly squat to the amount that are created, the only difference you will make is: You don't get paid as much as everyone else when those coins become profitable for the pool.

Dear All,
Thanks and welcome all opinions and comments.
Can we go back to technical discussion?

However, if anyone of you curious, at least you can just let me do my value. I understand the mining works, I just want try to avoid being part of "sexcoin" crypto economy and "cannabiscoin" crypto economy. And it is just for my moral value ...

I see prohashing as one of the richest features in multipool/autoswitch mining pool except for the 5% ha ha ha

yeah ... kindaf that :-p

If you want to avoid a coin then you will need to specify a single coin with c=coin password value that you want to mine just that 1 coin.
You can mine that single coin in either solo or PPS mode.

But your profits will likely be lower than the people who autoswitch and mine all the coins, even sex and cannibis coins.

Hi , thanks ...
maybe we need argument exclude=sexcoin or ex=cannabiscoin

Doubtful. Because then everyone will ex=litecoin because why mine that its the 10th lowest coin.

And then look...in 5 mins, all the other coins have been saturated to hell by the pool's hashing power, and now all the coins are worth .001 except the .03 litecoin profit one...which is now being excluded by 90% of the pool.

I don't see that working out so well.
