Prohashing Mining Pool Forums

On your charts page down where it lists the different coins stats........does your profitability figure take into account the orphan rate and is this reflected in coin switching?

I realize to many that seems like a silly question, but I asked it once on a major pool and they were NOT taking it into account. Sometimes I would see them mining away at almost 100% orphan rate. I finally had to remove the high orphan rate coins from my mine-able list until he figure out how to do the proper calculations.

Yes.

This is one of the reasons why, when another customer asked about using our statistics, I said that our profitability numbers would not be applicable to what they could earn by switching coins manually.

Also, our orphan rates are slightly off right now, because a change we made last week had unintended consequences. We'll be releasing a quick fix tonight to bring them closer to reality.
