Alright, I am setting up LKY, ARG and PXC on a set of 2 new, load balanced pool servers. After testing, these three coins will be *multiport only*. I.E. you won't be able to mine them directly.

ETA for testing is tonight. Tomorrow I hope to add PPC and FRC.

Awesome. All three coins have really good highs almost everyday. Possibly think about adding mec as well? It has some very good runs in the high profitability almost everyday too.

Sweet!

I'm definitely looking forward to a SHA-based multiport to point my FPGAs at. TRC will be a good one to have automated switching for, as it stands now I just ignore it because by the time I've noticed difficulty is down and get switched over, everyone else has seen the same, difficulty spikes, and I miss the boat.

You will have BTC running as well, for when it is more profitable than the others? Or do you not think we'll have enough SHA hashrate for it to be feasible with the difficulty level of BTC?

I agree that the main reason why people use multipool is the profitability. I don't think the miners that are on the multiport care what coin they're mining, they just want to maximize potential profit.

You are absolutely right. I just keep my LTC and FTC and the rest is exchanged the same day, so just add all coins that have high profitability.

If you're going to complain about how big of a scam a particular scamcoin is, NVC arguably shouldn't have been added. Wink

Personally I don't care about the origins of the coin, most of them are pretty similar in that regard. What I'm interested in is anything that will help boost our effective profitability.

Well, yeah, but NVC only had a 110,000 coin premine which was (supposedly) destroyed, many of the newer coins have much much more than that.

The PXC premine was supposedly for bounties, but how much of that has actually been given out?

Do you guys still want NVC in the pool? It takes several days to confirm blocks but the price is very stable so it shouldn't be a concern.. Let me know what you htink.

NVC can stay as far as I'm concerned. As you mentioned yourself, the price is very stable so you should get about the same rate by the time your coins are transfered for trading.
How is your work coming along for adding PXC and other coins?

You guys really want PXC? You know about the million coin premine right?

Similar problem to what happened the other night but not exactly the same.. Things are fixed now and again no shares were lost.

LTC balance from round shares has just started to work again.

Thanks.

But now the problem where the LTC pool hash rate says zero all the time, has returned.

I see it, working on it now..

Alright, I see what happened.

Last night when I switched over to the new tables I've started using for share summaries, I took a look at the average difficulty and noticed that it was quite a bit higher than what I had projected (I was still using 32, however the average on the vardiff pools is closer to 64-80).

Due to this, the round shares being used for the payout calculations was much higher than it should have been. (more than double in some cases).

I changed the payout calculation to use 64 instead of 32 for the vardiff pools, but I never updated the estimates calculation (which is where the round shares displayed in the page header comes from).

So, it is possible that since yesterday you could have had round shares showing up in your stats in the header, that weren't going to be used for a payout.

This situation is now fixed, the estimates code matches the payment code. Sorry for the trouble.

Nope that wasn't it, there is still a serious fault, an LTC block was just found 4min ago and I received no credit for it either in the confirmed or unconfirmed balance columns, but my round shares went down substantially when it was found. I was mining LTC at the time, on port 3334 instead of 7777 as I would normally do. So that at least 4 blocks I haven't been paid for, maybe more, as I only noticed the problem 4 blocks ago. Not impressed.

If you are not mining LTC at the time a block has been found on multipool.in, but you still have hundreds of thousands of LTC round shares when an LTC block is found, I would have thought you would receive a payout for some of those round shares. These seems not to be the case. I watched the last two LTC block be found according to the Last 30 Blocks Found - LTC table but received nothing for my round shares which are of course going down all the time. This doesn't seem fair as the pool switching is not up to me.

This problem is not occurring with my accumulated FTC round credits which are turning into unconfined balance quite happily each time an FTC block is being found.

This shouldn't be the case, I will look at this as soon as I'm near a computer.

It's PPLNS. Pay Per Last Number of Shares. This means that, say it is based on 10k shares, 10,001 will remove share 1, 10,002 removes share 2, etc.

It evens out to be the same reward over time. You could have hopped on near the end, gotten 50 shares at the last minute, now you only mined for a minute and got a big reward.

That's not the issue, the issue is the LTC round shares are not being turned into unconfirmed balance each time an LTC block is found. So my LTC balance is not rising unless the auto pool is actually mining LTC at the time a block is found.

Hm? I've had 0 issues with mine being credited so can't help there...

I have only noticed this with LTC the past day or so, previously it seemed to work fine.
