hey IPO I can't seem to connect to your X13 multiport or port 3716 however no problem to 3715. can you have a look at that please? I want to be mining AR but miner says waiting for pool to send work
It should be working for you again as of at least an hour ago. One of the stratum processes was hung and had to be reset. We got an explosion of interest in AR that overloaded it, apparently -- we've now quadrupled the number of processes just for AR, so it should be problem-free now.
Also, I'm sure there will be people asking about mining ViaCoin today. My analysis shows that it likely isn't going to be worth mining. They have a massive presale of 10M coins for a total of 600 BTC, which puts it at a base value of 0.00006. At that price, with a block reward of 10 VIA, that means profitability will be a mere 0.00024 btc/mh/day as soon as difficulty reaches 50.
Will we see prices at 30x the initial presale price (0.0018) to make it profitable to mine at 500 difficulty? How about 60x the presale price (0.0036) to make it profitable to mine at 1000 difficulty? It seems unlikely with 10M coins available..
We do our best to encourage exchanges to add coins that we mine though.
