... and another thing completely missing for their bitch slap argument
It is only crap drivers/hardware that matter what diff they use.

There is of course a lower limit that could overload the network, or the CPU if the miner hardware was slow, but no pool should even allow anyone to mine at low diff any more anyway.

Normal diff only matters if the driver or hardware is crap or badly designed.
If the miner is OK, diff ONLY affects your variance, which for the number ranges being discussed, the variance would be next to unnoticeable.

Diff is set by the pool. It's not the responsibility of the mining software. Good pools with good pool software should find the best diff for you automatically.

My concern is that in the long run the pool is operating at a loss by paying out the extra 1% on 2.7 PH/s right now (about BTC0.32 per day). It seems like the pool is just one part of their business, so maybe they intend to run it at a loss to promote the other ends of their business. If so that's great for the pools miners, so long as the pool has enough to consistently payout even if it hits a string of bad luck. Otherwise there could be a vicious cycle where payouts are delayed, hashrate drops, and the pool can never catch up.

That said, I've been paid out everything, even if it was delayed a couple times by one or two days. But I'd like to see whether the pool is able to handle a bad string of luck, say 4-5 days without a block while the hashrate stays roughly the same. It's easy enough to do the calculations to see what they have to payout everyday. If miners are confident the pool can payout despite bad luck, it might increase the hashrate and lower variance as well.

Perhaps you would like varidiff then on port 3333

you would have to change the value everyday or every hour to get a good value. like I said, its impossible to get a good value. They should make a sub-routine "Command" in CGMINER that adjust the DIFF value automatically depending on conditions. That would be great.

The block takes a few hours to clear.

only has 9 confirms. 

  this is not complex if the  pool runner has had 100 coins stolen we are going to be paid late time and time again. In order to have this not happen the pool runner needs funding or the pool needs a monster hot streak.  By that 5 blocks under 70%  and then 5 more under 90%.  This would put the pool ahead in the payment game.

I am going to give him more time as he has been around a while and does make the payments in full.

If he sees his shadow we all get 100 BTC in our wallets if not oh well better luck next year lol lol lol lol!!

Groundhog Day!

when there suppose to have there so called new security data base built. I don't see how when they cant even pay on time !   

Another block found and no payout again I think this guy IS A BIG TIME SCAMMER!!!!!

What is the significance of Feb 2nd?

I am hanging until feb 2 but I am not sure how to do any more to support them.

You will get a more accurate reading on the payout history page, as the averages move to fast on the main page, the main page is always off,, kinda sucks but if you look at your payout history you'll see your averages are correct.


Also they just made it to where you can manually set your worker difficulty,, which helps,, or at least helps with my OCD.

                username.workername##512 for s3
                                               ##1024 for S5
                                               ##1792 for SP20
                                               ##2048 for S4
                                               ##4608 for SP30
                                               ##4864 for SP31
                                               ##5376 for Sp35

By doing this I can see that my worker difficulty is locked in on the minerside,,, when I look at the dashboard however it still shows the diff as being off, however that doesnt really matter as You can see whats
really going on in your miners dashboard.

I would like the BAN Dashboard to be more accurate,, but It not a dealbreaker,, I hope they work on accuracy in the future,, I will continue to support them.
Its nice being able to chat with the staff on the pools IRC,, s0br seems like a good dude. ICYPPS,, they have been helpful and have always addressed my concerns.
