In a similar vein, Waffle Pool is smaller (and thus less dangerous for network health), and is also a coin-hopping profit-focused pool. It is different (I think) in that it always mines multiple coins simultaneously, in order to prevent huge changes in the market based on what a big pool is mining. Since a big pool like Multipool can effectively move the market for smaller altcoins, it's probably useful to spread the hashing love around a little.

It does, however, pay out in Bitcoin only. So, if you're wanting to mine Doge and hold them, it's not the right choice. I have a Multipool miner running and I keep some of the proceeds in the coins that result; though I mostly sell the also-ran coins (anything that has nothing significant to differentiate it from Bitcoin) and trade them in for Bitcoin or Peercoin. I keep some Doge, however.

Highly discourage using multipool and ilk if you care at all about the coins you are mining. The hash-n-dash behavior of these pools overwhelm a chain with hash power causing difficult adjustments upwards, then disappear as quickly as the come leaving the network high and dry with hours or days between blocks. Coins have been destroyed this way.

Heck, even if you don't care about the underlying coins, it's simply not as profitable (because you decrease the value of the coins you mine before you even have a chance to sell them).

Multipool also has a huge share of the network hashing power, but is designed to hop between whatever happens to be the most profitable coin. So for someone looking to get into DOGE for fun, it's not the way to go.
