Could come try out http://lky.scryptmining.com perhaps.  Same front-end, but we do PPS payouts.  As soon as the block is confirmed, all shares you had for that block are paid out.
I don't understand how that pool claims to do PPS payout. Doesn't PPS mean a set amount of LKY per share? I can't see the LKY/share rate anywhere on the pool site.

That being said, I didn't check if the function gets really called successfully when checking a block, so it might have botched badly. But I strongly doubt that.
I think this coin is slightly above "crap", mind, only it's not the utter and total crap it would have been if this function didn't work as expected.
But looking at how the GetBlockValue function has been written, apparently the author isn't a great developer.
It contains two noob mistakes: (1) duplicated code, and (2) mixes tab and space indentation.
This fact alone is enough to be VERY wary of any code he has written. As if the fact of him being anonymous wasn't enough.


Ah... thought it was the forum messing up the pasted formatting lol. Looks like he just lazily hacked together something that seemed to work. As long as the "random" function is deterministic so that every other client can verify the result/reward, it should be unexploitable.

In the case of the p2pool:

cgminer --scrypt -o next.afraid.org:8116 -u yourLKYaddress -p . --queue 0 -s 1

statistics available here: http://next.afraid.org:8116. This pool use a PPLNS payout scheme, and is stratum enabled.


The PPLNS windows is set to 1 hour, so you will get the expected payout after only a few blocks found. Anyway, the default configuration is around 24H. You have to mine days and night to reach the expected value, not fair at all...


This server is always as effective, no orphan, and the payout is there. If you are looking for a reliable pool, it is there.



Great - this server is flawless, it works fine, and the block coins higher than 88 are well distributed. Perfection.

Where do you edit that code? I'll compile it on linux and test it right away, have 10Mh to throw at it so should be tested within an hour.
file main.cpp, change "int rand = generateMTRandom(seed, 100000);" to "int rand = 50001;".
It will quite obviously not work, for the reasons I explained, but you're welcome to try Wink

ps: BTC tips appreciated, see signature, thanks.

As I said before I did this at launch.  It did not work.  I found two blocks and they were both rejected by the network.

LOL at the newbie coder who thinks he can reward himself more coins by just changing his one client.  Glad they are teaching coding in preschool

IT IS PEER TO PEER YOU MORON.  Unless he successfully distributes that change to > 51% of the clients, the network will just reject your coins

3Mhs coming your way!

I'm gonna give lky.allpoolz.com the benefit of the doubt and assume they will fix any problems with payouts (if there is one), but may as well give you a shot til I know for sure.

FYI, you can check the block reward (lucky or not) here:

http://lky.p2pool.nl/chain/Luckycoin?hi=1966&count=100

You can cross-check with your own payout from each block from the transaction list at the pool. See if it doubles up or triples up or not.



It seems this pool is eating the extra reward of the lucky block (block with reward > 88)
 Sad

http://lky.allpoolz.com/

I checked my payout from each block (including those lucky block), the amount of payout for me is more or less the same, no matter the block reward is 88 or much larger. Where did the extra reward go?

Did anyone from here aware of this?


I noticed this as well.  Payout seems kinda low, calculator telling me i'll earn at least 1000 coins a day, yet I'm only at just under 300 after nearly 12 hours.

They did say something about a bug causing some of the blocks to not be paid out automatically, so maybe that hasn't been fixed yet?

Thanks for your suggestion. Right now I am pulling away my rig from the lky.allpoolz.com to somewhere else (will try p2pool if I can resolve the technical issue)) until they can return us the extra reward.  Wink

P2pool doesn't have this issue, the block value is checked block by block against the daemon state, you can try this one:



In the case of the p2pool:

cgminer --scrypt -o next.afraid.org:8116 -u yourLKYaddress -p . --queue 0 -s 1

statistics available here: http://next.afraid.org:8116. This pool use a PPLNS payout scheme, and is stratum enabled.


The PPLNS windows is set to 1 hour, so you will get the expected payout after only a few blocks found. Anyway, the default configuration is around 24H. You have to mine days and night to reach the expected value, not fair at all...


This server is always as effective, no orphan, and the payout is there. If you are looking for a reliable pool, it is there.

Well, you could look ahead if the next block will get a big reward and skip mining all the others.
Yes you can do that.

Why wouldn't this work? I'd try it but don't want to screw around trying to compile this on Windows.

Code:
int static generateMTRandom(unsigned int s, int range)
{
    return 50001;
}

(you don't need the first 3 lines, and you could have simply did what I quoted here)

It shouldn't work because that function should get called not only by the miner, but also by every host once they receive the block: if the reward doesn't match, the block should be discarded as invalid.

Otherwise you could do this very same trick with Bitcoin itself.
