Hi, i have been mining Dark coin and have noticed the rounds go by fast, but i dont get any credits on 80% of them. when i start mineing i see unconfirmed transactions every few min. this last time i seen 3 credits, all just after the end of a round, then nothing for an hour. then i get another one. something dont seem right with that. almost like the pool is keeping some rounds worth of coins then paying for a few later. i mine at a few pplns pools, and none of them do this except this one. i mine around 5+Mh\s. user name is same hear and on server.
Hi, payout needs some server loads, so the calculation job is done with batch style on every 23 minutes.
So you would get coins credited quite later for maximum 23 minutes.
I think it's acceptable delay. If you want more frequent update, then I will decrease the time interval.
But I think what you noticed is not related to payout update interval.
Darkcoin generates blocks at every 2.5 minutes, which means all pools will find 24 blocks for an hour. Our pool hash is about 7.24 GH/s currently, about 8.5% of total net hash.
So, our pool may find 0~3 blocks in a hour. It may happen that no blocks are found for an hour!
You can see detailed block finding stats at
http://darkcoin.miningpoolhub.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocksBlock finding probability may vary very much time to time.
Current block finding stat for last 24 hours is 88.03%, which means it has found blocks rather luckily for 24 hours. (100% is ideal percentage. The smaller the better)
So, you have to wait for some minutes or hour to get credits. This is normal case.
Tell me if you have any questions.
