yes it is exactly taking a long time, but look on in from this side, when some currency get a bigger ratio than ltc, it automaticaly switch to another currency, then block is not founded on ltc, that means, you'll not get paid for anything, that's main thing.



you're right, i've already switched to WMLTC.
and about that luck, with small hashrate, there will be bad luck more often, than good luck,
people know about thi, because of that have a multipool so small hashrate,
if this will be sorted, then will be a bigger hashrate and a bigger luck, my brain explains it to me like this

Isn't this just because LTC rounds tend to take a long time? I've seen this kind of thing but I always get paid out eventually when the pool finds a block.

One of the solutions is to direct Multipool LTC hash power to some other pool like (http://www.wemineltc.com/) or let users opt out of LTC mining once they are on multiport.

Guys, please understand that it is just bad luck: sometimes you get more, sometimes you get less for you submitted shares.

Problem is the switching. If another coin becomes more profitable while mining LTC the multipool switches and as far I understand at that moment you lose alle your LTC shares if the block hasn't finished yet.

Thats why i dont switch my farms to this pool, it has outstanding potential, but still requires some technical updates

currently mining 4h and something, more than 900000 shares, 0 unconfirmed,
when it switch to another currency, you' ve mined absolutely zero, nothing, none 
so till this will not going to be sorted out, multiport cant expect growth of hashrate

I would consider CPPRSB, but it'd take time and a major recode to implement.

Pool hoppers at multiport pool he he   Looks like PPS would be better, i think, but any other reward system with payout for almost all shares considered to be good.

And how is that any different with PPLNS, if you don't submit any shares, then you don't get any reward.

I've been mining here for more or less a week now and I'd like to give a little feedback.

First of all, the minor issues due to the DB upgrade aside, the pool works great! I was switching pools with a Perl script before mining here. While that works as well, keeping track of several pools and there respective fees is quite a hassle. So thank you for saving me that daily headache.

Regarding the possible changes that have been discussed in the last pages:

Auto-conversion

If you're going to implement some auto-conversion to another currency, consider BTC instead of LTC. Unless you can exchange the altcoins directly for LTC, I'd pay exchange fees thrice where I only should pay them once (altcoin -> BTC -> LTC -> BTC).

Users that prefer LTC over BTC would just have to convert the BTC to LTC. Whether that's done by the pool or not, they'll pay exchange fees exactly twice.

Reward system

Personally, I'm not a big fan of PPS. PPS comes in two flavors: high fees (lower rewards in the long run) or low fees (big risk for the pool).

Rather than PPS or the current PPLNS + expiring shares, I think the nature of the pool (constant miners + multiport users) would benefit most from CPPSRB.

Since CPPSRB always pays the most recent shares first, that would eliminate the problem of constant miners' shares having to split their rewards with aged shares from multiport users. It might also mitigate the whining every time the pool switches to a high-difficulty coin and then back without finding a block. If the funds become available, those shares will get paid.

The issue with porportional is that it would give the people with higher hashrate an advantage on the faster coins, since sometimes blocks are found within 15 seconds or less.  When we're on MNC, for example, my 7970 is normally only able to submit 2-3 shares between blocks.

If someone was mining at 200KH, they might not even be able to get a share in between some blocks, resulting in no proportional payout at all for that block.

I am considering MEC and FRK as the next two coins I add.

Proportional is a deeply flawed reward method, since it's vulnerable to pool hopping.

Agreed, why not Proportional, you get paid for the shares you submit proportional to the total submitted by the pool once a block is found. Basically, once a block is found, the coins are split-up amongst all the miners based on how much work (how many shares) they submitted. Even if you switch to another coin, the shares you submitted will get paid once a block is found. Low risk for the pool operator, simpler payout calculations and no risk of miner's work not getting compensated.

I vote for PROPORTIONAL
