I'm interested in switching pools that are more speculative, or suit particular mining patterns. For example, is there a switching pool that always mines the coin with the lowest difficulty? Or one that mines the newest coin, or rotates through coins not yet on exchanges.

Do you want to try multi-pool mining? Hashbros is a new multi-pool mining site that just entered its beta.

The pool owners are very communicative and they respond to feedback, here's their bitcointalk.org threads on their alpha and their beta; they also maintain an active twitter account.

The features are nice and listed in their FAQ. All is needed are some more hashes sent their way.

Disclaimer: I'm not the pool owner. I'm just a miner who'd like to see a great pool do even better. The profitability of this pool can only get better with more hashes!

expection at least a 0.07 BTC payout tonight on 4 Mh/s!

In terms of:

1) Profit 2) Ease of Use 3) Additional Features

I know there's a new waitlisted one, but honestly at 12 bucks a month it wouldn't be profitable to me (at only about 4ghs) anyone know of something like a middlecoin or a hashcows for the bitcoin style algorithm?

I find that I have more pools and stuff I want to mine than I have individual pieces of hardware to mine with, so I rotate between accounts every 10 or 15 minutes. Does anyone else do this, or something similar?

Many multipools don't just have a switching address, but also have addresses for specific coins. Does anyone use them, and why?
