To those mining X11 on CryptoAlts, the last 12 hours we have experienced "P2Pool ramp up". The PPLNS system is very long, so I promise you it will come back. This first day may have some lower payouts than expected from for scrypt and X11 because of this PPLNS system, but I can pretty much guarantee the next round will not experience this as we will be "ramped up" by then.To those unfamiliar with this phenomenon : uswest1 went from ~1 HIRO paid to per block found to about ~65 paid per block right now over the course of the past 12 hours. DARK on the other nodes went from ~0.002 paid to per block found to about ~0.4-0.5. And we might even still be ramping up in terms of payments.
This is actually what turns a lot of miners from P2Pool mining (because the results do not show up instantly). But they do start coming in, and myself being experienced with P2Pool mining can tell
it is worth it in the longer run. I've mined DOGE on my own P2Pool node for months before making this pool.
so it will eventually payout better then a stratum X11 mining pool?
It tends to match, and maybe even be just a tiny bit better if your nodes are dominating the P2Pool network due to the block finder bonus, if you have a low reject rate. As far as why P2Pool? Because we can mine big coins like DOGE with a small amount of hash because the P2P network itself is very large. Otherwise, 50 MH/s would take a day to find a single DOGE block.
I'm going to work on making it all much more transparent this week. You'll soon be able see how much how each coin you have mined as your share, what coins they are, and how those coins are converting into BlackCoin based off latest prices. This weekend is about testing the overhauled backend for multi-algo support, as well as allocating the BC to each miner appropriately who may be mining off more than one algo at once. Once that is confirmed working, then I can get to some more front end work.
If I didn't have a day job, this would all get done quicker, but M-F is dominated by work, and then my weekends are filled with work on pool. I'm getting close to needing a vacation soon.
