Hey folks, there is no issue with the multipool it is operating just fine, we were simply sitting on the payouts until it would add up to a decent amount of coins to divvy up. Our hashrate is relatively low and so the number of blocks we hit has been low...to exchange this out into cloak works out to not a huge amount of coins to divide up. I can certainly do them more often, but it results in small amounts of coins to payout, in some cases less than 1 coin. We have hit a fair amount of blocks on the x11 port over the past week for instance, but only like 9 or 10 blocks on the scrypt port.
The worker stats page has a known bug that there is an open NOMP bounty on, I looked into this earlier today before heading out for father's day festivities and I can patch an update so that x11/x13 stats display shares correctly (its not the diff multiplier as was mentioned by someone earlier in the thread, its that the diff multiplier isn't used in the worker stats display - but it is used properly in the summary table page).
I will get the payouts out between tonight and tomorrow - there's always a little bit of lag as i have to exchange out the mined coins and then do the transfers and purchase of cloak for the distribution, so sometimes I have to wait for deposits etc. to go through.
So anyway, maybe its a question for you guys - would you rather more frequent but small payouts, or accumulate more blocks over the course of a few days to a week? Given the low yield, it may be worth exploring alternative options to reduce the anxiety for everyone. I'll follow up with The Dagger and see what the plan is with the multipool going forward and what they want to do, it might be worth shutting this one down permanently and getting a bigger/broader multipool to offer pay outs in cloak coins.
Thank you for the update.
I think the issue (at least for me) is not knowing what I'm getting. When I mined with Hashco.ws, I could see an estimated number of coins I would be receiving at the end of the day (they have nightly payouts). It was, of course, only an estimate, but at least it was a source of comfort in knowing that my hash power wasn't going wasted. All we can see is our address and shares. That's it. I have no clue if I'm going to get 1 coin at the end of the day, or 50.
In addition, my first (and only) payout was *really* low. As in, I'd be better off mining other coins myself and exchanging them.
So those were my issues with the pool. I'm
more than happy to throw my hash at it, but a) not blindly, and b) only if it's at least as profitable as if I were mining another coin.
I think if the pool is transparent in estimating what people are going to receive and you give nightly payouts, you'll attract more miners.
