Since nobody has done it yet, I'm launching a pure pay-per-share Litecoin pool. As you probably know, this system has several advantages:
- No penalty for orphaned blocks.
- Predictable income: you are no more subject to bad luck.
- Rewards are instantly credited to your account (you don't have to wait for a block to be solved or confirmed).
- You can be sure that the pool operator is not cheating (because you know how many shares you submit).
- Immunity to pool hopping.
This method results in the least possible variance for miners.
Other features include:
(updated)- Exclusive ultra-low-latency Stratum implementation, written in C for maximum performance
- Support for Stratum over SSL/TLS, to prevent MITM attacks
- Support for extensions to the Stratum protocol, including resume, suggest_difficulty and suggest_target
- Adaptive share difficulty (“vardiff”)
- Geographically-distributed, redundant servers
- Detailed stats updated every minute
- Detailed history of earnings and payouts
- Per-worker performance graphs
- Automatic and manual payouts
- Email notification of idle miners
- Two-factor authentication support
- Extensive JSON API and mobile interfaces
- Website and mining interface also accessible as Tor hidden services
- Lightweight interface
Since September 11, 2014, the pool supports merged mining of Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies, resulting in higher payouts than with a regular Litecoin pool.
As of January 2018 we are merged-mining Argentum, Canada eCoin, Dogecoin, Huntercoin, Myriad, Pesetacoin, Viacoin.
