Any chance you can turn on EAC (earthcoin)?  Looks like Crypsy has added it now to the exchange.
Thanks!

Hi, why diff is low and don't changing now? I set it to 256 (scrypt) in the web and saved this option, but in the cgminer is 32 only

Can you disable mining certain coins? Like if I just wanted to mine Doge and LOT?

I know, but still there are very few coins to mine (only 1 gdc per block)...and each one is just 87 satoshis. It doesent seems profitable to me unless the value became 100x higher or something like that...

Can anyone explain why multipool keep switching to GDC ? How they can be the most profitable coin in this moment ? I don't get it...

there is a thing that im always wondering about.

how come multipool always show about 10% less Hashrate than my miner, i know that it is calculated from the valid shares, but i dont really have that much invalid shares. only about 1%

will do! thanks for the info! I'll switch my asic to d7 for ppc and keep my scrypt running with you. I appreciate your time sir!

We're on the P2Pool.

Welcome to reality folks.
...some of us said ASIC would destroy BTC mining, and you all laughed. Said it would prevent that dreaded "51% Attack"

I looked at p2pool stats earlier today.  Share difficulty is about 800k or so.  That means to get a piece of the next p2pool block, you need to submit a share > 800k within the time period p2pool keeps for pplns (I think is 3 days, but not sure).

Small (< 100gh/s?) miners beware.

It's madness to mine on your own p2pool node with a small amount of hashrate.  Not only will you not find a sharechain block very often, but your payments will be basically dust.

The dev was supposed to be addressing these types of issues with the large donation of LTC he got, but his last commit to the git repository was over a month ago.  We have really been waiting for some features and now we are basically between a rock and a hard place WRT the BTC pool because we don't have enough hashrate to go it alone on our own stratum instances (even though the lower stale rates of stratum vs. p2pool would help retain new miners) and yet the dev has not made any progress that I am aware  of on the features that were requested.  He hasn't even merged the patch I sent him to log shares to a DB which would help smaller pools get started with p2pool.

I agree with you ... however I would add there isn't much difference between using p2pool anywhere vs your own node with a small amount of hashrate.  And the definition of small continues to increase as time goes by.  I'd say if you have less than 100gh/s, your variance on p2pool (regardless of node) is going to be huge.

I tried the pool for 48 hours on scrypt mutliport and have to say I'm very disappointed with the performance.  The pool website is great except the worker notification is kind of lacking.  The problem seems to be stales/rejects.  I was averaging 8-12% stales depending on the rig (irrespective of Linux/Windows and geographic location since I'm mining in 3 US states) whereas I was always getting less than 1% stales at most other major pools.  My DOGE coin earnings (pretty much the only coin mined) were less in BTC value than what I would have earned at other LTC pools sadly.

I wish you luck on the pool but the stale rate needs some work before I would consider throwing my farm back at it.

YMMV apparently.  I'm on the east coast and have 3 rigs pointing to the east server.  All 3 are telling me a reject rate of about 2.2%.  I'm definitely doing better with coins than I would on LTC.

Hi,

The "per-block estimate" for BTC on the website is always showing 0 - is this normal or is something wrong ?

Regards

Should be fixed now.

A few questions for the admin of Multipool.  Does it normally take 79+ hours to find a block of LTC and did you realise the majority of DMD blocks(18/30) are orphan?  I see no sign on any news to correct these issues in the news feed.

That's not the norm for DMD, but some coins are better maintained and have better networks than others.  It's possible the DMD issue was an attack of some sort.  It's not the norm for Multipool, however; our overall orphan rate on DMD is about 5%.

I tried the pool for 48 hours on scrypt mutliport and have to say I'm very disappointed with the performance.  The pool website is great except the worker notification is kind of lacking.  The problem seems to be stales/rejects.  I was averaging 8-12% stales depending on the rig (irrespective of Linux/Windows and geographic location since I'm mining in 3 US states) whereas I was always getting less than 1% stales at most other major pools.  My DOGE coin earnings (pretty much the only coin mined) were less in BTC value than what I would have earned at other LTC pools sadly.

I wish you luck on the pool but the stale rate needs some work before I would consider throwing my farm back at it.

Your DOGE earnings lookd lower because the price was dropping all day the other day.  The 24 hour snapshot shows what you would earn if you sold all your coins right now, not if you sold them as you were mining.  If you mine coins and don't sell them, and then the price drops, it's not the pool's fault.

As far as your 8-12% stales, that is far higher than the pool average which is around 2-5%, at least on doge.  On the other, faster, low diff coins, of course you have a higher stale rate if a block is being found every few seconds and probably both us and Middlecoin are on the same coin.  Almost ALL of the coins we mine have faster block times than LTC, you are normally not going to get sub 1% stale rates on any coin due to the faster block times unless you're like me and <20 ms from the server.

Anyway, if you email me I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot your stale issue.

I was really rooting for flound. He seems really into the community usually. 227 hours now. This research you speak of? Got a better recommendation? d7 seems to do about a half ppc a day per 10ghs. I have gotten lucky before using multipool and pulled quite a bit of ppc. It just seems like something is going wrong with no blocks found for 227 hours. Flound, could you look into this please?

We only have about 0.5 TH on PPC, I really don't see why anyone would mine PPC on multipool directly.  We have plenty of hash for when it's the most profitable and the multiport switches to it.  If you want to mine PPC directly on Multipool be prepared for high payout variance.

As far as my participation in this thread, practically all my free time for the past 3 weeks has been spent working on the pool and I haven't had time to check it as often as usual, and when I do come here it's mostly trolls and bashers.  So much for the 'community'.

If you want a quick response try email or the IRC channel.

Can the removal of BTC from multipool.us be considered?

The switching speed of the pool doesn't coalesce well with the overall concept because of the overall low hashrate (compared to other pools), and the overall low amount of time that hashrate contributes to directly mining BTC.

The outcome of this is invariably 48h+ mining that achieves no return whatsoever, and a switch is made to an altcoin.

The only way a small(er) pool will be successful in mining BTC is with a dedicated and ongoing hashrate. This quite simply is not a realistic expectation from a profit-switching mining pool.

Rather than removal...is there "another way"...^^^ see above.
Is there anyway we can re-direct our hashing power to another pool for a "guaranteed" return...I am not technical, however, I would imagine there must be an option of some sort??

Hopefully Flound has that "other way"??

We're already doing this.  We're mining with p2pool. as you can see there are often multiple BTC blocks found per day.  Today there were 2, yesterday there were 3.  The day before that there were 0.  P2pool has about 200 TH on its network.

P2pool has critical mass to mine BTC.  If you stay with Multipool, your rewards will have higher variance on BTC than if you were on another pool.  However over the long term they should be similar.

I know the voices in my head aren't real.
my DOGE balance hasnt updated in a few hours. is this an east pool issue? it seems that i have been having quite a few issues on this server. earlier i swapped over to west and it failed over back to east.
