And why do the "unexchanged estimates" keep reverting to zero and then back again? Since I added my +2THs of SHA to my little bit of Scrypt (4MHs) I have on the pool, my "unexchanged estimates" don't seem to be growing any faster. The unexchanged estimates items recalculate for everyone every ~10 minutes right now. They take about 30 seconds to recalculate, so if you refresh while that is happening they may show up as 0 temporarily. They are also seperate for Scrypt and for SHA (ie, your SHA and Scrypt miners will show different 'estimated NXT' amounts as they are algo specific. I was thinking of pushing out the 'estimated NXT' calculations to once every 20 or 30 minutes to try and reduce this, but obviously that makes the numbers increment less often. The estimated numbers were also out significantly yesterday, but I think that I have that resolved now.
Would you also please clarify the bolded questions in my previous post...You're going back to mining alt SHA coins and we are to mine only at sha.hashrate.org:5008? Yes, we are going back to mining SHA altcoins. It's the simplest way to be able to unify the reporting and keep everything in a single site.
What alt Sha coins will you be mining? You're currently only showing Unobtainium and Bytecoin.
Terracoin and Zetacoin will be re-added to the pool tonight, and Mazacoin will be turned on again.
If I add some THs to the pool, aren't we in danger of destroying a weak coin like Bytecoin, lol? I would suggest adding some stronger coins with a higher network hashrate.
Good point - I was concerned that we nearly forked bytecoin last night, but it's just taking quite a while for the 34 pending rounds to confirm for them. This will be a lot less of a concern once we have Terracoin and Zetacoin in the picture.
Currently I have just over 1THs pointed at hashrate.org:5008. If I add "sha.", will I be mining on BTC p2pool or the alt pool? I'd rather not waste the hash on p2pool. [/quote]
Nope, there is no DNS name whatsoever pointing at a BTC P2Pool any longer. You won't hit that no matter what DNS name you try and use. Sha.hashrate.org and hashrate.org are essentially the same servers (it's just that cloudflare uses the 'hashrate.org' DNS name to do it's cloudflare magic on. I currently have cloudflare in bypass mode though, because I was worried lots of miners were still trying to hit the site without using the proper subdomains).
I understand that you're disabling the p2pool tonight but what is being mined on sha.hashrate.org at this very moment? And when should I switch over from hashrate.org to sha.hashrate.org?Right now they are one and the same. Ping the two hostnames, they resolve out to the same IP addresses. When I turn on cloudflare optimization again, hashrate.org will resolve out to the IP of the cloudflare servers (which obviously isn't a stratum router) so that would stop any miner who is using just stratum+tcp://hashrate.org:
from being able to connect. In hindsight, I should have been using the subdomains all along.
