If you join a PPLNS pool, wait a few hours before posting it's not working. Thank you.
I waited overnight, thank you.
Would it be a better option to use these p2pools instead of the PPLNS pools? I'm barely getting payouts and i'm hashing on a PPLNS pool at 155 kh/s.
It could be (I run one of the PPLNS pools btw). Keep in mind though pplns takes a bit of time to ramp up payouts. The whole point of it is to prevent hopping in and out of the pool by rewarding over a longer period.
The main benefit as I see it though, is stratum support. But if thats not of much concern to you, at the very least a p2pool will give you more immediate feedback on your coin generation. Good luck either way.
If I understand correctly, my share price slowly increases as I mine on the pool? So basically we get cheated out in the beginning, but the longer we mine, the higher reward we get? I'm not a fan of that.
Here is my understanding of p2pool.
Proportional payout, and payout only when a block is found. Correct? Also isn't the payout instant?
One thing I have noticed on p2pool is that I barely get any shares on it when compared to PPLNS pools. Is this normal? Also, is it normal for the pool to request work restarts VERY often? Please correct my understanding of p2pool if it is incorrect.
