is vertcoin pool down or just unlucky with low 1 ghs pool rate?

Hi 19jgj93,

My guess is that we, miners, are trying to manage our limited computational resources into different coins in order to not put all our eggs in the same basket. And PPLNS make it hard to jump in and out without the risk that the shares we produce will be dropped ( 'for nothing' ).

I'm on XMR for now but will be back on vertcoin in a day or two to help the pool rate.

I would even implement migrating shares from one pool to another if it weren't for the difficulty differences between the chains. Have to think about this when I'm not so tired. Just brought 8 more servers online to further isolate the daemons, in an attempt to eliminate the slightest chance of performance problems.

It would allow to coordinate everyone in a pool to increase its hashrate ...

While having the option to pay in alternative coins (not from the targeted pool).
