semuxpool_com and semuxpool_com2 update:
payouts for last ~24 hours went out.
Bug in validator code caused semuxpool_com2 to pay out 2 times (until it ran out of SEM). Working on fix now
There were only a few addresses that did not meet minimum payout for the day, most voters were paid out.
Thanx mate. Payout recieved.
I Would even settle for a weekly or bi weekly payout, if it’ll save up on transaction fees.
That won’t matter that much though, once main net goes live, fees get smaller.
Only got one payout from com2 btw, I would have sent it back otherwise.
Yea, it ran out of funds after the first few (rest of funds were locked thankfully). I've adjusted the payout db so anyone who got paid double will just receive less tomorrow until they 'earn it back'. I guess consider it an advance. No need to send it back those who got it.
I wanted to go aggressively paying at first, as I'm an unknown quantity. Nice for folks to see payments coming in soon after voting.
It also gives me a chance to catch bugs while the pool has a low balance. If it were once a week and paid out double, it'd be trouble.
I may play around with lengthening the payout period over the holiday weekend, so I can double check that config works for longer pay periods. Tomorrows will go out normally.
This was developed with the low mainnet fees in mind, fees are 10x lower, which is nice! I don't know that the guy who voted 1SEM will ever see a payout though.
Anyway, thanks for the support!
As a question for how pools 'should' run. I have 2 validators. Right now each pay out separately, so votes for one are 1/44k share and other is 1/40k share.
I am playing around with allow configuration to treat them just as one big pool. So everyone gets 1/84k share of 2x the reward.
At the moment, it doesn't matter, but if i were to start say 'pool3' (I'm not), I want to encourage votes for it, so it would make sense to allow those voters to still receive a share, even though its not forging yet.
Downside is, if I open up a new pool, those who already have votes on a 'full' one have no incentive to balance their votes to the lower one. And balancing votes is a good thing.
Thoughts? Pros and cons to each.. just not sure what makes most sense.
