Topic: [1423GH] ABCPool PPS - Proxy Pool For High & Steady Mining Rewards - page 23. (Read 151871 times)

How they proxy isn't related - it's simply that since it is a proxy (as the thread title tells you) that information is - well - somewhat difficult to show when the shares are proxied to different places (including their own bitcoind as far as I understand)

Being a form of PPS means that counting your shares that they determine to be valid and keeping track of difficulty changes is all they need to do accurately to pay you correctly.

If you need that extra information ... then switch to ... almost any non-proxy bitcoin pool around

Could you have found a more convoluted way of saying "we hop a whole lot of other pools, so don't really generate blocks identifiable as our own"? 

By the by, there's something up with abcpool, I had an x6500 mining fpga, a 5970 and a 4670 (only about 35Mh/s) pointed at abcpool.

The 4670 is showing 0 Mh/s on the site, and the 5970 and the x6500 between them are only showing 280Mh/s...
Very low stales on my end but the shares just don't seem to be getting counted, so I've diverted my mining power over to p2pool until this gets sorted out.

Hi Greatwolf, thanks for asking. I'm assuming that with 'current block' you mean 'current round'. Just in case you're not: Information on the current block and loads of other Bitcoin network info can always be found at http://www.blockexplorer.com.

As for ABC-specific stats, everything we publish is available in the Stats section of ABCPool.co. A subset of the sitewide stats is available through our API, and personal stats are available after logging in and again through our API.

However, you won't find the stats you're asking for on our site!

ABCPool is all about predictably high mining rewards. The stats are focussed on helping (potential) miners manage their rigs and optimize their rewards. ABCPool is a PPS pool, meaning our miners always get the same high amount for every share submitted, no matter when (or even if) any blocks are found. Current or historical round information, while interesting, has no impact on earnings. There are also some practical barriers to providing round info, because we offload part of pool risk to third parties to be able to offer you such a competitive rate.

Besides generating steady rewards, the PPS mechanism also makes these rewards completely independent of (the hash rate of) other users. The sitewide hashrate we publish is mostly useful so miners can easily verify whether the pool is running smoothly. I don't know if anyone is graphing it; we'd be happy to reference such a graph.

If you are missing any info/stats that would help you achieve better performance at ABCPool, we are always open to suggestions! Just recently we've added a page continuously reporting the performance of the various mining clients people are using. Use it to your advantage

Happy Hashing,
MC

where can I find stats for this mining pool? Like for example, current block, history of solved blocks, total shares for solved block, graph of pools total hash rate etc.?

Thanks

I am using Ufasoft miner. There is no problem on my side as its working fine with other pools.

We are investigating this issue. At this moment it seems besides your miners everything works normal.

All my CPU miners are not working 
0 khash/s

Hey MintCondition! I have a suggestion to the website.
You should put an calculator so people can input their Hashes and it would give the probable outcome in BTC.
Its probably a small thing to do but it would be so handy man
Take care 

Sorry guys, turns out there's an unfortunate interplay: When a backend hickup occurs it can mess with the efficiency monitoring. We'll be adjusting the algo's soon so they won't penalize users under such circumstances. For now, accounts with an excellent track have been whitelisted until this is resolved.

I think their getwork dynamic adjust crap isnt working right, its blocking everyone killing the pool heh.

Server down again !!!

Example only !

Blocked
176.129.113.111   Temporary block. You are requesting too much getworks per submitted share. This can happen if you run a CPU miner or a botnet. The ratio is dynamic to keep average pool effiency at a certain level, so you may try mining again later.

the server hash rate become 0ghz

ISSUE RESOLVED: A server crash caused the pool to be offline for several hours earlier today. The stats section was the last to be brought back to life, and service has now been fully restored. No data was lost, and all submitted shares have been accounted for.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

MC

the website is back online but the something with the website ! the stats are not updating !

ABCPool is having connection problems at the moment. We are investigating the problems. Thank you for your patience.

I've met with intermittent disconnections since yesterday. Maybe the server is having difficulties?

Confirmed.  All of my miners are down....unable to connect.   

Seems abcpool is down now  - thank goodness I've a backup pool in place.

I  am pretty sure that Diablo miner running in an OS other than windows would show as Java. I ran Diablo under ubuntu a long time ago, and that is what I would be seen as.

now all is ok
