When merge mining VTC and MON you are connecting to a proxy together with every one else merge mining on that node.
The proxy keep track of your work but submit it under an address the node owns. So you should see an address with very high hash rate.
That address need 24h to get to full payouts like you did the first time you started p2p mining. So it will start slow and go up to expected payouts over 24h.
When a coin is found it's paid to a wallet on the node and need to mature (120 confirmations).
Once the coin is mature the payment script can see it and start to pay out to every one.
But there must be mature coins in both wallets so VTC is slowing every thing down right now. Most people should see the first payouts comming 5h after the first VTC block was found for the pool.
VTC block time 2.5min 120 confirm. 120 * 2.5 = 300min /60 = 5h.
Then there are the added time of 5 min that the payment script run on.
All the stats is tracked in a database and coins will be paid when they showup.
In theory we can get individual stats for merge mining I think, but I'm not that good with programing to bring them out in a easy to disply way.
My pool currently gout around 20 Mhash and 18 of those are merge mining. We only got 0.58981900 (91 confirms) + 0.69980379 (73) + 0.79761633 (44) in VTC in the wallet so far.
This is the same as 1 miner with 18 Mhash jumping on p2pool for the first time.
You are absolutely right. This new merged-mining pool takes time, a long time to materialise. Adding the downtime just now due to hiccups.. what a day!
I am seeing more MON coins coming into vtc.cubeconnex.com:9555 pool. And best of all, the payout program is accumulating coins for payout. We are going to the MOON with the MON. Yea!
