Hi

Can anyone confirm that this pool is using the updated DGC daemon with the new difficulty adjustment?

It is, yes.

Also, website down for a few minutes. No effect on mining.

if my calcs are right, a block every 30min @ 500Mh/s would be ~.000332 BTC /Mh/s I believe that is a decent round, in comparison to our current crop of coins. Of course, it wouldn't take much bad luck to swing that quite a bit the wrong way.

When you can find a block in < 10 minutes, give it a go. Not sure I want to waste hash in this current low-profit environment.

NVC and FTC is something we want to add, just don't want to try it if it's too early? What is you're guys opinions on these? Think we have enough hash to give it another go?

At the current difficulty, it would take an average of 30 minutes to mine a FTC block with 500Mhash.
So if you would be on FTC for 10 minutes, you are not guaranteed to find a block (but you might, 33% chance).
When FTC is profitable, you will be much longer on FTC than 10 minutes a day so I do think it's worth adding.
The only thing that will happen is people crying when you switch off FTC after 10 minutes without finding a block, but these people have to realize that you might just as well find a FTC block the next time you are on it for 10 minutes which evens out over the day.

Since 500Mhash will take 1 hour for NVC and 2 hours for LTC to find a block, you should test with FTC first to see how that works out.

we added ADT as a test but seems rounds are too short with not that good of a payout, will nuke it soon.

Looks like you replaced ADT with SXC now, results for SXC look pretty crappy too.
But you never know until you try, right Wink

Time to ditch SXC I guess.

With the pool at 500Mhash, isn't it time to add FTC and NVC ?

Yep, were looking to add another coin or two just trying to test the waters. SXC is nuked, shouldn't see it anymore.

where do you get difficulty stats ? coinchoose ?

No, directly from the coin daemons.

ya there was a major problem with the coin to many blocks required before it would re target.... they did a hard fork about a month back correcting the problem it now only allows a 25% increase in diff per 12 blocks so it can't spike again... it also is almost always in the top 10 on coinchoose. if you do decide to re-enable it make sure you grab the newest git for it as the fork is newer than your last mine on it

what are the chances of getting CRC added to the list?

We had CRC at launch (could re-enable it). It was...OK, but took days to confirm the blocks and get them sent in for trade.

Recent cgminer allows a quota per pool, so you can set that quota high for hashco.ws

Cool

Thanks for the tip.
But I thought all recent versions of CGminer were crap for scrypt coins so I never updated again after 3.3.1
Can I assume from your post that this has been fixed? What version are you using?

If I use the "quota" command with the pools, do I still have to set the strategy to load-balance?

I'm using 3.4.3, and hashrate is fine. You need to use load-balance, yes.

No issues for me hashing away on CGMiner 3.5.0. Full speed ahead Wink

I recently went to 3.4.3 and have not seen any problems with scrypt mining - my hashrate is unchanged if that is your concern. I, too, was having the issue where cgminer would declare a card sick if a coin switch took too long. Since I went to 3.4.3 I have not encountered this problem - I would recommend updating.

At the beginning of cgminer.conf, I have:

{
"pools" :
[
   {
      "quota" : "99;stratum+tcp://stratum01.hashco.ws:8888",
      "user" : "Wipeout2097.1",
      "pass" : "x"
   },
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://pool1.us.multipool.us:3342",
      "user" : "Wipeout2097.1",
      "pass" : "x"
   }
]
,
"intensity" : "20,20",
...

That allocates 99% to hashcows and 1% elsewhere. When hashcows.ws is down, either for a while or switching coins, cgminer picks work from the other pool.

Whenever the stratum server goes down or sometimes on coin switches cgminer hangs and does not continue, it doesn't even respond to key presses. I tried using cgwatcher but that reduces the hash rate by 10-15%. Is there anyway of making cgminer more robust?

Sometimes I use load-balance between this pool and other. It's the only way I know to avoid that problem.
