Zpool mining platform added Bitcoin Subsidium (XBTX) as one of the minable coins
Zpool.ca is a mining pool where you can mine over 150 different coins currently, and that is not the only catch, but they have this auto mining feature where idea is that they keep automatically on your behalf switching between these over 150 coins based upon which one is most profitable to mine at any time, which is one way to try to guarantee your mining profits are maximum.
Of course we know that is not true anymore since now they have added Bitcoin Subsidium (XBTX) to the list of minable coins and whenever they switch away from mining Bitcoin Subsidium, you lose. After all, 1 Bitcoin Subsidium today, is 10 000 Bitcoins tomorrow.
But, luckily they do have an option where you can ask your mining profits to be paid in Bitcoin Subsidium, even if you are mining some other coin, so perhaps it will yield you the max profits after all since maybe some insignificant coin like Bitcoin will temporarily gain more than Bitcoin Subsidium, but it will then be used to buy Bitcoin Subsidium with its current price, yielding you more than with mining. After all, everyone’s wanting their piece of new XBTX and hence are mining Bitcoin Subsidium, so while the price might be best, competition might however be so fierce you get only a tiny bit of XBTX, and hence mining something else to get XBTX might result in best result.
