Topic: [ANN] The First Litecoin PPS Pool (litecoinpool.org) - page 47. (Read 227010 times)
One of my miners is relatively low powered and becomes disabled by the time the difficulty reaches an acceptable number. I've read the site about setting difficulty and using the workers password. I'm using BFGminer 4.4.0 and it doesn't display the difficulty as the standard 64, 128, 256, etc... Rather, 15m, 3m, 976u, etc... I'm guessing I'm just going to have to play with numbers, but does anyone know how these numbers correlate?
I just wanted to say I've been using this pool for a few weeks and its quite good. I had a silly problem and the mod was quick to help me out. Thats #1 in my books.

are all merged proceeds converted to LTC for payout?
No conversion is needed, because this is a purely PPS pool. The PPS ratio is is computed taking into account the expected rewards from merged mining. This is effectively the same as having a negative PPS "fee".
The profitability of Dogecoin is currently floating around 25% that of Litecoin. This is why the current PPS ratio is 125%, which means that you get 25% more than with a 0-fee PPS pool that doesn't do merged mining.

Correct me if I am wrong, But as far as I know litecoinpool.org is merged mining with Dogecoin? Dogecoin is not profitable right now anyway. You are better off mining Litecoin then exchange them for Dogecoins. You will get more Doge that way.
As I know a lot of miners want to dig dogecoin. But can't find a pool that pay with dogecoin. It is a big market.
I used to mine on this pool for a long time and never had a problem. Getting paid as you mine instead of waiting for blocks to confirm is very convenient.
Nice, 120% sweet! thanks Pooler keep tweaking that thing! 
Just bump that 115 to 125 whenever you can! 
I hope I'll be able to, but to be honest I doubt the ratio will ever reach 125% again. The difficulty of the Dogecoin network keeps rising as more and more pools jump on the merged mining train, and you can see for yourself that it touched 10,000 just a few minutes ago.
I want miners to know that I'll do my best to keep the PPS ratio as fair as possible. Since merged mining started, I've been monitoring the relative profitability of Dogecoin with a script I wrote, and I may soon implement something similar within the pool code so that the ratio is updated automatically.
EDIT (Sep 15): Looks like I didn't take into account the possibility of a jump in the price of Dogecoin. Now at 130% PPS!

I am sorry for the expresstion. I mean in one day time if a miner get 1% of the LTC that the pool mined a day, then he can get 1% of the dogecoin that the pool mined a day. Is that correct?
Ah, OK, I see what you mean now. Basically you're proposing proportional payouts for Dogecoin. That could work, I suppose, even if it would be subject to the issues of proportional systems. Another way could be to have a separate PPS reward system for Dogecoin.Either way, things would get substantially more complicated for us, because we would have to implement and maintain two separate accounting systems. Also consider that we have a number of security devices in place which would have to be carefully modified.
Not to mention that the current solution of paying everything in litecoins makes things much easier and nicer for all those miners who are note interested in Dogecoin.
All in all, I'd prefer to keep things as simple and manageable as possible, so I think we're going to stick to this system for the time being. (This may of course be reconsidered in the future.)
Can't you just pay the dogecoin with LTC? Just as same percent of LTC.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean there by "as same percent of LTC", sorry.Let me point out that Litecoin and Dogecoin still retain independent network difficulties and market prices, and therefore independent mining profitability. In particular, after the introduction of merged mining the difficulty of the Dogecoin network has started rising rapidly, and this has caused the profitability of Dogecoin to sink from about 100% of Litecoin to the ~18% where it is at the time of this writing. I expect this figure to continue to decline as more pools start doing merged mining.
Pooler, Great job things are running smooth!
So pretty much AuxPow is killing Doge faster than anticipated.
It is not killing it. On the contrary, it's bringing more security to its network. The fact that the mining profitability of Dogecoin alone is much lower compared to when Doge was not merged-mined is perfectly normal and expected, and causes no harm whatsoever.Also, there was a big change of the PPS reward from 125 down to 115 why was that? What determines the reward percentage now?
As I've said before, the difficulty of the Dogecoin network is rapidly increasing, as expected.[...] the PPS ratio will be adjusted to take into account the expected rewards coming from merged mining. [...] Of course, after merged mining starts the PPS ratio may need to be adjusted frequently based on factors such as the DOGE/LTC exchange price and the difficulty of the Dogecoin network, which is expected to increase rapidly.

Bravo! Could you give miners dogecoin directly?
Unfortunately that would complicate our accounting considerably, so for the moment we are only going to offer Litecoin payouts.Can't you just pay the dogecoin with LTC? Just as same percent of LTC.

The PPS ratio is currently 125%, meaning that miners earn 25% more than with a 0-fee PPS system. Enjoy the extra rewards!
