well from your pool altcoinspool.com

6.3.2014 23:27   0.02191966 (running on BAMT)

If the last amount is all the coins left that are confirmed than your stats are lower on that day compared to wafflepool.com

I calculated on the 5.3.2014 - your pool had 1% more BTC/MH that day compared to wafflepool.com   

Could you do me a huge favour and check your wallet for your actual payout and let me know exactly how you feel that compares to the other pools ? I'm curious

Thanks again.

Alt.

Well tommorow I will have 3 working miners:
1st - 5x290 ~ 4100 MH
2nd -5x280x ~ 3500 MH
3rd -5x280x ~3500MH (with one free slot for 6th card)
So if you bring back the pool and you can be as competive as you were last few days (you were 1% lower on payouts compared to wafflepool BTC/MH stats) I will put for sure the 3 machines there. I am now returning to middlecoin.com (testing to see if its fixed) and waiting for your return.

Thanks Kokal. Thanks for everything! Especially the support.

I didn't want to mention this earlier but now that we've stopped the mining, I'm actually going to pay out every single user in our DB (there's only 25 anyway).

The point is, we are personally going to pay the 0.0001 BTC transaction fee and provide everyone who ever mined with us, their profits. No matter how small.

We're already writing the code for the new system so we hope to help out the new coins ASAP and you'll see me back here then

Alt.

Well sorry to hear that you are stopping. Pool wasnt big but your system was working fine. I already stopped my miner when I read this. Hope the other project turns out better.

Hello All,

Due to the lack of interest in our pool and the lack thereof in demand for a highly available pool with the world's most advanced DDoS protection, we have been forced to shut down the service as we are unable to continue to fund the server costs.
 
There is already a large number of well established autoswitching, auto-exchanging pools available online so we're going to step aside and let them do what they do.
 
Our plans are to instead, return in a few weeks (if not sooner) with a new product that will more greatly assist the community. We plan on building a new pool that will no longer autoswitch but will instead, provide a range of ports to mine newly developed coins that are not yet available on other pools.
 
We feel that this will better serve the community and will assist the developers of these new coins build their user base.
 
As it has always been, our goals will be:
- High availability
- highly scalable (starting small and growing as the userbase requires it with little to no downtime)
- HONEST AND FAIR! (as we have been and as the stats clearly demonstrate!)
 
We are still going to be here, answering questions via all existing methods. I will still be answering emails and would love to hear your thoughts on our decision, be they good, bad or otherwise
 
For now, We will stop the pool tonight to allow user's cgminers to fail over to your backup pool.
 
We will not perform a final payout until ALL coins have been exchanged. We don't want to keep ANYTHING and will be sending EVERYTHING on to our users.
 
Once all coins have been exchanged, a payout will occur and the website will be put into maintenance mode.
 
Once our new site is launched, we will be back here looking for coin devs we can assist
 
With warmest regard for each and every one of you,
 
Alt (shiny bits)

Hey mate,

The stats page won't update until there are confirmed BTC at any of the exchanges. I'm actually going in there now to find out what's going on. You'll notice on the homepage that the graph will show you unexchanged BTC balance.

Since we do a payout around midnight each day (Sydney time), the stats are delayed during that first hour after midnight (now).

Sorry about that and thanks.

Alt.

Hi altcoinspool, I just started mining on your pool and i realise the Miner Stats page isn't updating anymore. I just want to compare the rate that I am mining at and see whether it is worth to mine here.

PS, this should help you with your RAM issues:

-I 20 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-engine 1005 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 50

If you still have trouble, drop -I to 19.

Right now, I'm just laughing at your estimated payout...

0.02812493 and 0.01964586 respectively.. That's more than double your previous payout so I believe Congratulations are in order for us both.

I'm still working on the profitability calculations because when those high Mhash users hit the pool, we need to only select coins with a higher difficulty.

Please let me know what you think of your performance on the pool today and thanks again for your support (tell your friends!)

Thanks Kokal,

Yeah I'm not sure what happened but there were two users with 50+Mhash between them.. I think they jumped in to test it out but didn't stay long enough to get the most benefits

As I've said in the past, Our pool is great for pool hoppers since they leave the blocks they've found behind for others to share. Since we use PPLNS to calculate profits, those blocks left behind are equally devided based on shares submitted so as long as others keep mining, their share in the profit goes up and the pool hopper's profit goes down

We've enabled a few extra coins and the profitability calculations seem to be working great. Today especially is looking good.

I myself just purchased 2 R9 290s and have them on our pool.

Look forward to seeing the results of your efforts tonight.

Alt

Well it seems people have abbandoned your pool. I am still here along with my friend *****Wy and ****MG . I had issues with running 5 x 290 - not enough memory under windows (8GB) so I am running agian BAMT 1.3 (low rejects) and I will add more memory tommorow morning. For now your pools seems worth the time. I wil stay for a while more to see how it goes

Due to the massive spike in hashrate (10x increase), I've added a new bar to the BTC Balance graph on our homepage to show users what the current immature BTC estimate is accross all wallets on the server!

We are performing a payout now to users who have been mining up until this point so stats should reset.

I hope we manage to bring in some good profits to all the new users who just joined in the next 24 hours!

Alt

This is truly nerve racking!

Last night, we completely rewrote our profitability algorithm so we no longer rely on ANY external site. Everything now revolves around the coins we have enabled .

It's been good today but we've spent the past 8 hours working on making it better and still have a few hours to go! I hope we can get you some decent results for both your sake and our own.

Alt

Ok lets see what you got m8 - I just put my 4x290 (today or tommorow 5x290) machine in your pool. If your results are nice - expect more MHs

I would love to except all our code relies on the exchanges having an API that we can communicate with. This communication is how we add the total of all BTC produced, how we prepare our payouts daily, how we confirm that the alt coins have been received etc.

The API also allows us to take full control of our coin trading, allowing us to execute trades autonomously.

Unfortunately, none of the exchanges that PRC are available on, offer an API so it's not at all integratable.

If you have any other suggestions for coins though, I would love to hear them. Today, the team has come up with a plan and our own algorithm for calculating profitability WITHOUT having to rely on the multiple third parties we currently use. This will mean that we can simply add ANY coin we feel is profitable and as long as it is supported by one of our exchanges, it will be mined .


We really appreciate it and hope that it is as rewarding for you as it is for us !

Dear Alt,
I would like to advice you to add PRC (Prosper Coin, good trading at poloniex.com) to your coins list.

It's a good idea to check poloniex.com from time to time to watch new popular coins.
The owner of this exchange has a good sense of profit )))
You can also slightly spam ads in chat there.

(I will be back soon, after I set up my 2nd rig)

Please join the pool so all the miner have some more profit, at least send some mhs
Pool owner is very quick with making changes miners suggest, i also suggest some things which were implemented within 24/48 hours

Thnx

Minor modifications have been performed to our profitability calculator, based on the low hashrate of the pool. Once more users are onboard, the algorithm will now adapt!

I'm now announcing that the BETA is off! All user suggestions have been completed thus far, so we are now LIVE!

BRING ON THE HASH!! (and show us your bits).

Please help us grow by dedicating some of your hash (if not all) to our great new pool!
