4 blocks in two days, not bad Smiley

Anyway, fireduck, do you think you can increase block size? To increase the "lottery" reward for those that find a block.

Thanks Fireduck!

Come on miners, this is a great pool.  If you have any questions on how to get setup let us know and we will do our best to help.

I've written up some sample cgminer configs and make some new dns round-robin pools for faster failover:

http://hhtt.1209k.com/config.php

This way cgminer can fail away from a failed node much faster than my health checks will pull it.

FireDuck,
I have many many more pools setup to ensure I am always mining so I do not think the load balance is an option for me.  To ensure the best fail over should I set these two as my first two pools?

stratum+tcp://set0.hhtt.1209k.com:3333
stratum+tcp://set1.hhtt.1209k.com:3333

Or should I set all of these?  If so, in which order is preferred?

us-central-1a.hhtt.1209k.com - A single node
us-central-1b.hhtt.1209k.com - A single node
us-central-2a.hhtt.1209k.com - A single node
eu-west-1a.hhtt.1209k.com - A single node

Or all 6?  Again which order?

stratum+tcp://set0.hhtt.1209k.com:3333
stratum+tcp://set1.hhtt.1209k.com:3333
us-central-1a.hhtt.1209k.com - A single node
us-central-1b.hhtt.1209k.com - A single node
us-central-2a.hhtt.1209k.com - A single node
eu-west-1a.hhtt.1209k.com - A single node

Thanks!

I recommend using just set0 and set1.  The four nodes are in those sets and any new nodes I create will be as well.

You don't want to use individual nodes, I might change them at any time.

I'd suggest putting "0.25% Fees!!!!!!1!one" in the title.

I'd like to show an example, mostly to our new fellows, of how block's fees reduce pool's fee that each miner pays to the pool.

This is latest found block: https://blockchain.info/block-index/429263/00000000000000072089a0adae2b921c93f3d707c1180b7dae1b63ef03e0dd78

It paid a good 0.15 BTC to the miner who found it.

BTW, what are you waiting for KnC or BFSB/Megabigpower or?

spiccioli

I have one KNC jupiter for physical delivery and five more which will be datacenter hosted.

I am also waiting on a BFL Monarch because I am very very stupid and like to punish myself.

Nahh - I like the colors.  It's part of the fun of being a sucker....

That said, there are color combos I like more than others, and I wouldn't mind freezing my page at a color I particularly like for at least a couple of days....


I've been thinking about that.  My plan is to include in the page somewhere what the value of the base color is and then allow a url parameter to always use that base color but as it is part of the CSS style sheet loaded by the browser it isn't entirely trivial.

Nice luck last night, 2 blocks  Smiley

Apparently probability is for quitters and we should just continue finding all the zeros.


Yeah,

but we should really ask ourselves why are they leaving?

What is making them swith pool? Pool's variance only?

If half of those that mined here for one day were still here, pool would be at 100 TH at least.

I'm starting to think that, apart from variance, the current coloring scheme of pool's home page could be annoying for someone and, worst, everybody has some coloring combination that annoys him and which gets selected randomly during the day.

For example, this one is unbearable for me... http://imgur.com/VW3qlvJ

Now, I don't know if coloring is the real issue, but such violent colors can make your co-workers wonder what you're staring at, for example, which could be annoying in itself Smiley

So my question is: fireduck do you think that it would be possible to have some way for users to choose a color combination they like and "freeze" it for the future?

What do others here think about this issue?

I'm not sure that colour is the reason.  For me, some of the stumbling block is fees.  I'm more than happy to pay them, but of course they decrease with difficulty increase.  I feel this is innappropriate unless Variable Diff is included in the pool.

 To lower my fees, I put my diff as 130 (ish) but because I have only 25gh/s to my name, it take ages to find even one share, but I pay less fees.  I recently had a go at comparing emc with hhtt, and I'm trying to decide which pool to settle on. (which considering Josh is an A hole should be an easy decision)

If fees were based on the same priciple, but used varidiff instead of 'pick a number and use it' it would be a little fairer in my opinion.

Thanks

In any case, adding a fees paid field to user data could be usefull to see how much one is paying in fees at any given time, which does not solve your issue, but at least shows you how much your spending...

Agreed spiciolli, THanks Smiley

Hhtt is and will be my 1st choice for pools for the future.

Well, with vardiff and a 25GH/s you'd end up with a low difficulty value to keep a certain share-per-minute rate, but a "high" fee.


Well, pool could set a maximum share per minute and force miners to use the resulting diff. value if the one set by the miner is too low.

This would make fireduck expenses more predictable, btw.

I think that pool fees are high when difficulty is low mostly because the high availability solution fireduck is using is costing him monies and the more shares a miner sends the more it costs him (amazon message services have a fixed, even if low, cost per message sent).

By the way, you don't have to put your difficulty at 130 given that minimum difficulty used by pool (if not explicitly set by miner) is 128 now.

In any case, adding a fees paid field to user data could be usefull to see how much one is paying in fees at any given time, which does not solve your issue, but at least shows you how much your spending...
