hello all, just picked up an elphapex dg1 ltc/doge miner about a  month ago. do you support this machine? i cannot get it to hook up to the network, im not a total noob and have been in a few other pools with it without too much issue. when i was signing up i had selected antminer as the type of machine as it seemed the closest, the software on it is almost identical to an antminer. any help?

Does the following help?

Just wanted to point something out - my new Elphapex DG1's - for whatever reason..... will NOT connect to the pool on port 3333. After updating the FW and finding the same results - i figured I'd try other ports and on port 8080, it connects with no issue.

SO! For anyone else who has a DG1, if you're having issues connecting it to this pool - give this a shot!

If not, please send an email to support (see link in the website's footer), providing a screenshot of your miner's configuration page.

Thanks for this, it worked for mine as well.  Grin Getting a decent hashrate at the moment too , better than my previous pool! we'll see what my 24hr avg hashrate is after a day or 2.

Wanted to reach out and thank you for running this pool for so long.
Currently reading through this historical thread and seeing the amounts of LTC paid out daily back in 2011 with only CPU mining is astonishing.

In our current year of 2024, I am currently with 3 L7s, the average price of an L7 is roughly 6k-7k USD (Retail/Market price, you can find cheaper deals privately)

Each L7 produces 9300 mh/s resulting in 0.0322 LTC/day and 115 Doge coin.

Can't wait to see what the future tech holds and how much LTC/Doge will be mined per day with new ASICS.

Hello to All,

I want to say hello to everyone, I think it's appropriate. here is my little story. I haven't used my hardware for a very, very long time. The electricity costs were too much. But now after many years and after building my solar system a few years ago, I found the hardware again this weekend, it was hidden in the far corner. I never sold my miner. After a short thought, I thought, well, I now have a solar system. Why don't let the device running? said and done. I created a small container on my proxmox server, bfgminer through the compiler, and connected the hardware. After a few tests, yes the hardware is still running and nothing has broken over the years. then this morning I found this pool and created a worker. The Hardware now runs completely cost-neutrally via my solar system. The solar system now generates the 12 volts that the miner needs.

And here I am, back after many, many years. and I'm happy to be here. Today I am 59 years old.

I wave to everyone and wish you a really good day.

Mario, aka xhabit.

Thanks for this info, I can confirm that I have been using this pool for 10+ years now and it has always been solid!

hey there!

Long time fan of your pool! Always used it for literally all of my scrypt miners lol. Just wanted to point something out - my new Elphapex DG1's - for whatever reason..... will NOT connect to the pool on port 3333. After updating the FW and finding the same results - i figured I'd try other ports and on port 8080, it connects with no issue.

There was one time when I didn't put any failover pools in, the miner DID send shares to the pool which reflected on my account dashboard  -  but after about a minute it dropped the stratum connection stating:

This is a pretty solid miner compared to the rest of what is currently available (latest and greatest atm!) and I'm sure I'm not the only person who has encountered this (same thing happened to a buddy of mine down in Florida). And just to clarify - other scrypt miners at my farm all connect via 3333 without any issues at all, and this miner connects to other scrypt pools on port 3333. I gave it a shot on my home network with the same findings. Pretty bizarre.


SO! For anyone else who has a DG1, if you're having issues connecting it to this pool - give this a shot!



Cheers!

Add full support TLS and other i gain error connection timed out in port 3333

Not sure I understand what you're trying to say, but 3333 is the port for regular Stratum. Stratum over TLS is available on on port 3443, if your setup supports it.

Hi Pooler ,

Request to please add dingocoin to merged mining pool. Pretty sure it deserves attention.

Just wanted to give your site a compliment.

Just started Litecoin mining recently. I've been testing on a variety litecoin/merged site, but I really like your layout. It's simple, but it's artfully beautiful. Everything on the page is relevant, no flashy bs. I really love it.

Thanks for your service!

Where may We find the Coins being Merged at any time? ...

More out of curiosity than necessity Wink

Right now we are mining Canada eCoin, Dogecoin, Earthcoin, Myriad, Pesetacoin, Viacoin.

Thanks pooler ...

I remember You from a LONG Time ago (Yes - Old is My new Name Wink hehehe).

Lots has changed from the early days, and so has the Pool (I used to Mine in the early stages with GPU's at the time). So glad to see that it HAS changed and improved by volumes.

Thanks for the Reply and info - I hope to join up again one day Wink

Hi Team.

With Dogecoin being bias to PoS, is there any alternative to increase profitability, once LTC becomes a lone reward?

LTC+DGB for example?

Prior to netting that out, isn't network difficulty a part of that equation? How do I take that into account?

Network difficulty is part of the formula to compute the PPS rate, which you can find in the FAQ on the website.

I've been merge mining with litecoinpool for a year now and have quite a bit of data that I pull together in a Grafana dashboard. Recently, I've been trying to estimate my bottom line based on historical payouts, difficulty, market price, etc. I've been searching for the algorithm behind the litecoinpool calculator in an attempt to measure potential outputs over time. The values fluctuate fairly dramatically and thought it would be helpful for me to estimate payouts so that I can adapt to market changes. It'll help me manage the bottom line better.

My questions are:
- is that dumb (because of how drastic the values fluctuate)?
- if not, can anyone help me learn the backend math to calculate the profitability analysis?

I'd like to smooth that over time in Grafana. The API returns all the information (minus the input variables like estimated hash, power utilization, and power cost).

Any help with the algorithm?

It's pretty simple. The expected number of hashes over a period of time is average hashrate multiplied by time. You divide that by 65536 and you have the expected number of baseline shares. You then multiply by the price of a share (i.e., the PPS rate) and you get expected rewards in LTC. The formula for the PPS rate is in the FAQ on the website.

As for energy costs, it's even simpler, as energy is power (in kW) multiplied by time (in hours).

Thank you, pooler. One clarification..

The straight line estimate for expected rewards is: ("avg hashrate" * "time interval (in seconds)" / 65536) * "PPS rate"
The straight line estimate for power is: "kW used" * "time (in hours)" * "cost of power (in seconds)"
