Topic: [ANNOUNCE] ! First Live, working, wonderful LiteCoin Pool! LTC! >1 Mhash - page 5. (Read 11769 times)

Hi everyone,

Complete noob to pool mining. Can someone help?

Which program do I use for pool mining? Windows client binary, daemon, litecoin-windows-miner-10-10-2011.zip (crashes on me) or something else?

Which file do I have to configure? Where do I put my information? I have already registered.

Thanks everyone.

I'm tweaking it right now. I need to sit down and figure out the math. It's a rolling 5 minute period for estimation of stats based on how many shares are submitted. A good 5 minute period will make you look like you are stronger than you are. Bad period, will be weak. Overall, should average out.

FAQ update with this and some other questions I've been getting.

Works, but I think you're overestimating my khash/sec by more than a factor of 2.

Thanks mining started . Now total active workers 45 and 666 kH/s (half evil  ) !!

IP: 184.107.145.244   Port: 8332   connect your miners there.

Isn't it strange how people will solomine bitcoins for a week and not be frustrated, but solomine LTC's for 10 minutes and you think something is wrong when they haven't found anything.

what is the port to be used for mining ?

4 more blocks found since my last post.

I update the stats page a little. I removed the Mhash references. Sorry. I fixed the Khash calculation. It was about 4 times too high before.

Changed stats update to every 5 minutes instead of every 15 for now.

And round shares, from the block stats... well, each block was overwriting all the previous info. I'll try and update all of that and get the original numbers on there. The data is still in the db, just will take a minute.

PM me with any issues, ideas, comments, etc.

Is this good enough support for litecoin that I can get the japanese scammer tag added to that kids signature?

This is artforz's pushpool fork. Same as simplecoin as far as I'm aware.

Update real quick, I restarted pushpoold a couple of times to take off the higher level of logging and reboot the machine real quick. Should be set now.

Take your -s setting away from 2-6 or whatever and change it to at least 30 seconds or more. Pushpool is enabled. So if you are constantly requesting work, the botnet protection I have, you'll probably get banned automatically. Push your request work rate back a bit and we'll all have fun.

I mentioned we found a block while I was typing the announcement, hoping for more soon.

The hash rate displayed on the website, isn't right. I'm checking my formulas and fixing that. The pretty stuff will get fixed as we go. The core stuff is running fancy.

Remember * I've had this asked several times in PM and in the threads. "FOUND" on the pool doesn't mean you found a 50 LTC block. It means you found a lower difficulty share. Your shares / pool shares is your percentage of the block once it is found. I'll toss this in the FAQ's and some other things in a bit.

Just curious, is this built off of the tenebrix mod of pushpoold?

Sheesh... took long enough to figure out wtf I was doing wrong on the easy_target. Sorry about that.

Okay, We've got Longpolling enabled, stats are delayed 5 minutes.

Registration is simple. Submit a litecoin address. That is your LOGIN name. No password required. Password is required for changing your minimum payouts and making an instant payout. Passwords are double sha'd salt and peppered. I would still not recommend using a password you use on other sites.

The address you sign up with is where payments will go. You CANNOT change this later.

Your worker names are your LTCADDRESS_1:1 through 9 (LTCADDRESS_9:9) No worker registration required. If you need more workers, please register another account.

I do have some built in precautions against botnets. If you have a high number of IP's going at one account, please contact me first.


and FYI! While typing this, we just found our first block after I made the easy_target changes!!! We've found about 10 blocks now.

Payouts are made after your payment threshold that you set is met and after the block has matured 120 confirmations. You can request an instant payment any time.

The pool currently charges a 5% fee. I was worried about orphans, but so far, none. Difficulty looks like it is strong enough now.

If BTC-E doesn't implement quickly, my next project is a quick BTC TBX LTC exchange.
