Thanks for the update Jonny!
Perfectly clear.....since i lost on prev block....i'll await my next retal untill you figured out a bonus (i don't bulk in btc unfortunatly and lost on the last block)
Need nome luck on my way some day...i dont exect to be rich soon, but losing money is not my thing :-P

Any tips on how to use nicehash? and what are the pro's versus MiningRigRentals?


Thanks!!

That I don't know... I have 8xA6 pointed here and they reconnect and stay connected without issue.  For example, the last time they failed over to my backup pool was on Monday when I shut down the stratum servers because my datacenter had the switch issue.  When I fired them back up, all of my A6 came right back.

When was the last time your A6 showed the pool as dead and didn't fail back over properly?  Are you on the latest firmware?

You notice correctly.  I took it away because it needs to be fixed.  Until I get that done, it remains gone.  The problem was that it determined your estimated earnings by only considering shares since the previous block was found.  That works out great for a PROP pool, but not at all for PPLNS.  Too many people would PM me or email me or hit me on IRC asking why their payment was "X" when the estimated earnings said it would be "Y".  It will be fixed eventually, I just haven't had the time to dedicate to it (stupid real-world job ).

There was a bonus of 1BTC if you found the block before the diff change.  That didn't happen, unfortunately.  I would have loved to have seen it.  At any rate, there will be another bonus... I just haven't figured out what it'll be yet .  Probably going to do some iteration of the contest we ran last round.  As soon as I finalize the details, I'll post it.

There (is) was bonus for block finder but as far I can see condition for it has passed (diff change).

Hi,
I notice that the  "est. earnings" is missing from the pool.....will it come back? i like to look at it from tim to time :-)
not that i would like to sound greedy, but is there a bonus at this time?

Anyhow, love this pool, been aboard since block 2,  now ony with rented hash, since my miner broke down.
Been renting @MRR, could someone advice on renting @NH? is it better? how does it work?
Thanks for any tips or tricks!

Keep u the good work.

My A6 is here more than anywhere and it never has any connectivity issues, other than when the pool itself had some that Johnny posted about like a week ago.
Current run pointed here is 12h 19m no failovers.

The A6 that I have mining here shows the pool dead occasionally, and won't reconnect to it unless I restart cgminer. It stays on the failover pool. Anyone have any idea why?

Thanks!  Unfortunately my node crashed and the blockchain is re-syncing so my coins are unavailable until that finishes.

back on board with 100T rental   let's find nr. 9 :-)

Just sent some coins to nicehash.

I received mine at the following time stamp:

Thanks Jonny!!!

Block 409094 has matured and your balances are available for withdrawal.  If you have auto-payouts set, your payments have already been sent and confirmed.

Onto block 9!  Remember, if you find that block before the diff change, I'll send you a 1BTC bonus

did I manage to check my wallet about 30 seconds after you send from last round?

I ask cause the send does not show on the blockchain.

yep i  did   and here it is a few minutes later.

I went to my address first no deposits  I went to bravo-mining no coins.

I checked the send tx did not exist.

I checked the time stamps and I managed  to check in the 0 to 120 seconds of it waiting to hit.


Thanks for the coins.  I will be mining soon.

Sweet, those two were mine.  I had an error when I initially registered using your link so I wasn't sure you would get credit, glad you did!

Huge congrats, well timed rental and well done on the block solve.  Thanks for getting us all paid.


Love the promos!  My Avalon6 was solo a few days but she's back here now until the diff change.  Got a little coin at NH still so will get a rental going soon.  Let's get another BravoBlock!

sounds good  I am running   a 50th for now.

I haven't started the "pick the range" contest back up yet... mostly because I have neither finalized how I want to run it this time, nor on the prize for winning.  Right now, the currently running promo is that if somebody finds a block before the diff change, they get 1BTC.

When I do start the "pick the range" contest again, the chances are extremely slim the prize will be as high as it was this time.  It may get there over time if people don't win for a few rounds... but starting off it's not going to be a possible 3BTC win.

back to  the contest when do we start it back up?

 I picked 15%    we are at 10.31%

Love waking up to a block in the AM

Jonny,

I trust you to do what's right. 

As you can see from the statistics page, the math works out once the block has been found.  That's because the payout code is accurate .  Yes, I spent my time ensuring miners were paid appropriately.  Funny, that .

The problem with the estimated earnings is that the calculations and code are all completely wrong.  They completely assume a round is never more than since the previous block was found.  Works great for PROP.  Not so much for PPLNS.  I reported this on the MPOS github repo.

Anyway, since the code exists to properly calculate the payouts, it really shouldn't be too hard to port that over to the UI.  I'm currently working on it, although I don't have a whole lot of time to dedicate to it since my real job continues to interfere... lol.  In a nutshell, there are a few places I need to make changes (getting the proper number of your payable shares for the round), and ensure that's written to cache, because the live SQL queries are painfully slow to execute.  I might have to disable the live view (i.e. no more magically updating dashboard) in lieu of this change for performance reasons.
