Awesome, nice looking pool. I'll give it a try.

Btw, is it possible to use Genoil's miner? or it isn't compatible?

-- Nevermind. I've tried, it is compatible. Mining right now. Let's see how good it goes.

Thank you for your feedback!

We answered your ticket earlier today when we got it. I trust you found the answer sufficient?

For the benefit of others reading this thread:


The 0.5 ETH payment was not related to the payout system of the pool. It was a reward paid to all miners who had joined the pool.

The Alpereum pool updates the balance of miners every 30 seconds, but for any ETH to be added to miners' balances, a block/uncle must have been found.
The payout routine runs every 30 minutes, but a minimum of 0.2 ETH most be in the balance for it to be paid out (to keep our gas costs within reason).

In your case, as soon as your balance reached 0.2 (segregated pr. mining address), the payout system sent you your balance (0.20923188 ETH), and reduced the balance back to zero.

The 0.5 ETH you can keep, it was paid to all operational rigs in the pool, as part of testing our reward system / to welcome everybody. We are sorry for any confusion this caused.

Sincerely

Bit of a wierd one this. Sent support ticket regarding it. I can send funds back if needed.

I had a payment from your system as showing as 0.03ETH or so and checked my ETH wallet set for this pool and had a payment of 0.5ETH. After checking payment history their is no history of the transaction.

Only transaction history showing on account is one early this morning for 0.20923188 Ether. http://etherscan.io/tx/0xa2ff1c104ce8bbcd3037a1d26a160697bb4d6ea38f9a62e5c7bf1c14fb498060

Unknown payment 0.5ETH http://etherscan.io/tx/0xfe2bb5deeb15c588c56592be9993ee0e5e19000791ceb8872094abbd4aeb8ac6 was this one sent by mistake or some sort of bonus pay? If not I can simply send this back not a problem.

(1) block finding reward.
No, and this includes uncles as well.

(2) transaction fee (gas spent)
Not sure if you are asking if we cover transaction fees on payout or if we payout the transaction fees (gas) associated with a block. So I will answer both.

Yes, we cover all transaction fees for our miners.

Yes, we also pay out the transaction fee (gas spent) reward that is associated with a block or uncle.

(3) uncle reward (4.375 ETH, 3.75 ETH, 3.125 ETH, 2.5 ETH, 1.875 ETH, 1.25 ETH)
Yes, we payout all uncles.

(4) uncle inclusion incentive (0.3125 ETH, 0.15625 ETH)
Yes, we do payout all uncle inclusion incentives.

Thank you for the compliments!

Nice too see another pool popup and another for the testing. Will get to add to my guide and thread once done some testing and mining on.

Also does your pool pay any of the following structure?

(1) block finding reward.
(2) transaction fee (gas spent)
(3) uncle reward (4.375 ETH, 3.75 ETH, 3.125 ETH, 2.5 ETH, 1.875 ETH, 1.25 ETH)
(4) uncle inclusion incentive (0.3125 ETH, 0.15625 ETH)

Some pools do some do not so just asking to see if included etc.

Having phone support is a warm welcome that not many do or if any. And 0.2ETH payment run every 30 min also good.

PAYOUT METHOD

Alpereum uses what we consider to be the most fair and honest reward system for our pools, Proportional Payout. When a block is found, the reward is distributed between miners according the number of shares they have submitted for that specific block. Simplicity with no games, gimmicks, or tricks. Every time a block is found you are paid out for what you put in.

Experienced Miner? Different ports and difficulties are listed on the bottom of our Join Page

Global Stratum Hosts:

pool.alpereum.ch - Europe
asia.alpereum.ch - Asia
usa.alpereum.ch - North America

Use the location closest to your miner.

The port assignments are still the same on all global locations.

If you do use a global location, we suggest you always set pool.alpereum.ch as a failover. It is the main node and the most likely to be online at all times.

If you have any issues with the .ch domains, you can replace .ch with .net
