Topic: [ANN][POOL] ipoMiner - Profitable multipool targeting new coins + merged mining! - page 85. (Read 366235 times)

I will give a try.
Good luck guys!

well thanks, i see what your saying but i think i might have to just try out 32/64 for longer periods and see..
i know earnings can vary though.. and i've worked on tweaking miners lots about close to a year.
and i have had success doing it... 75% of all miners i run i did a lot tweaking and modding + long term testing.
so i am not stranger to the miners

what i don't know is if the pool is based on shares alone..
i read what it says about it but i still found it confusing which is why i asked.

bottom line is if a lower diff gets more more shares submitted then i *may be making more, regardless of what is good for networking lol
so does the pool work that way ? The web pages explanation was kind of vague on that lol

i am using a bunch of workers such as a cudaminer mod i have worked on since last year running an overclocked Geforce 550Ti
so my Radeon is the fastest worker and funny i have a stock speed Haswell 4770k cpu that is like twice as fast as my nvidia card with only 6 threads lol

anyway i think i will do some longer-term testing and see if makes little difference earnings wise and
i will of-course choose the higher difficulty for the Radeon if it makes no difference.
The other workers i have are pretty slow compared to my one 7950 so.. i'll stay on 32 for them i think.

if you only have 1 7950 pointed at this pool i suggest to use 64 difficulty.
i tried only once different worker difficulties for my rig. i have about 3.5MH/s. so my suggested difficulty is 384. i also tried it with difficulty 64. testing time was about roughly 2 days. i haven't seen any differences in payout.

the theory for worker difficulty Setting:
low difficulty: creates more Network traffic (think taht's not really a Problem for end-customers, but for the ipominer-server it's better to have not so many low-difficulty-connections). is good for fast switching (=fast blocktime) coins. can't explain exactly why, but i guess it's because of the smaller amount of work you receive with a low difficulty and that smaller amount of work is solved faster by your gpu. if you have a fast switching coin and a high difficulty Setting then it may happen that you get a big amount of work to solve but your gpu isn't fast enough and another guy out there solved the block faster and you get nothing for your work.
high difficulty: Needs less bandwith.

conclusion:
if you don't hop from pool to pool twice a day then i'm pretty sure that the worker difficulty isn't very important when it Comes to your payments.

what difficulty worker setting on the pool are you guys using with Radeon 7950's ?
the web page says it's not going to make much difference but what do you guys think ?
does it matter for example with what i said ? ..earnings wise

and pool owner you mention in your web site setup help page to put the setting as low as 16
then on your setting page it says 32 is the lowest etc.. dun wanna confuse them nubs do ya

and yeah changing the coin / port settings etc via the web site would a very good feature for sure !
i have like 3 machines doing some light mining and it can be a bitch to hop around screwing with bat files etc on them

Yes, I have just been monitoring the payout, there was nothing paid out for the last block. I have also just sent an email.

I have issues as well. Last withdrawal was Sunday night and I've been mining since then with a little over 7 MH/s and only have ~0.27 BTC worth of WC to show for it.

I've emailed the pool operator to ask about it. Something is awry.

Is everything OK on WC, I have been mining for 2 hours with 10 M/hs but only appear to have accumulated 250 Unconfirmed coins, is it calculating the shares/payout correctly?  I know you had a few issues with this a couple of days ago.

Cheers

Ilan

This was a nice touch, you guys rock.

Gotcha. Thanks

From the Dev:

Curious why you never pointed the multiport at CINNI ?

Just FYI, you don't need to be in a rush to cutover from CINNI to another port when the PoW mining period ends in a few blocks -- we'll handle rerouting the CINNI port to mine on the multiport.

I hear that. That's great! I look forward to it in the future, whenever that may be.

BTW I wasn't complaining (I did get to mine both coins after all), just explaining why someone would want the feature.

ipominer, ok, thanks for a clarification.

CINNI scoring isn't down -- the blocks for it are just so fast that you see more of them as unscored than usual The block time on it is 15 seconds. Blocks aren't scored for around 5 minutes after they are found, and the scoring can take up to another ~5 minutes to show up on the site because of the site statistics caching.

CINNI scoring is down

Switching the coin you are mining via the website is something we're interested in adding, but it isn't a drop-in, easy feature to add.. it'll take some time

Some have multiple rigs. Some host in the cloud. Some rent rigs. If we could point to a dynamic port and switch workers through an online UI, this would help those who manage multiple / rented rigs.

I've rented hash for direct ports many times. This last time I rented for WC, when in the middle of my contract AC launched and I wanted to switch because I saw AC as a stronger coin IMO. Only real answer for me at the time was to rent more hash (which I did).

I dont really know why is people complaining when you can switch the ports yourself.
 

Internally, we load balance incoming mining on each port across multiple stratum processes. There was a problem this morning with one of the CINNI stratum processes, which created a cascading failure across multiple CINNI stratum processes. As the traffic from the failed process was pushed onto the remaining ones, they began to become overloaded and slowly fail as well. The problem has now been fixed and all stratums are fully operational again -- sorry for the inconvenience!

In terms of why we haven't mined CINNI on the multiport... we've felt that CINNI is a very volatile, risky, and short term play from the time we added it on a direct port. It isn't fair to expect every miner that mines with us on the multiport to constantly monitor the markets to sell within a potentially short term window, especially on a holiday weekend in many countries.
