Congrats, everybody! That one was almost right on schedule.

Good morning,

It's almost a month I am hashing on this pool. Have mixed feelings and uncertain if it was the right decision. With a new block , hope in week or so, I would reach a payment 4-5 times less than i.e. I would be mining on nicehash...

Are these derp numbers are correct and shows the exact payout?  I would be having 4 times more than current

Thanks you / regards

Great! So, does HERP reset after getting a payout so others can make their way to the top, or is that a stupid question?

Being in the top 100 share contributors guarantees a payout.

1) So, I noticed the Active Miner page isn't always sorted by descending hashrate. Does it sometimes seem out of order due to those with less hashpower just having mined long enough to earn a spot that high or what?

2) Does being in the top 100 on the Active Miner page denote who will get a payout during the creation of the next block?

All the restarts are complete. There are now a number of changes to both appearance and behaviour.

The pool work now shows which users have their reward postponed and how much herp they've accumulated. This means it lists the users who will not receive a payout in the next block solved, but shows how much herp will be accumulated to contribute to one where they meet the threshold requirement to receive a payout. This also means that miners below the dust threshold will eventually get a payout once their cumulative rewards make them meet the dust threshold over enough block solves.

Additionally as large coinbase transactions contribute negatively to miners latency, are incompatible with AVA2->7 devices, and contribute to many small miner rewards that end up costing a lot in fees to redeem, I have placed a limit on the number of transactions that will ever be included of 150. The top 100 miners will always receive a coinbase generation transaction with every block solved. The other 50 payouts will be interleaved amongst those who have reached payment threshold and are ordered by who has waited the longest for a payout. Miners will be able to monitor their accumulated herp if they've been postponed in the new user statistic "accumulated" and see how many times they've been postponed by the "postponed" variable.

Realistically these limits won't come into effect any time soon as there are currently only ~50 users that have reached payment threshold. Once we get above 150 active users it will start coming into effect - which would also correspond with a larger hashrate so more frequent blocks, however the dust threshold miners will already be counted towards future solves.

This concludes all my planned changes required to enable the pool to cope with as many miners of wildly varying sizes as could possibly be aimed at it, including what I think is a very fair offering for very small miners.

And now for some blocks...

Depends on your mining hardware and what diff it's currently mining at.

Where can you see the work_diff data mentioned during the following section of the website:


I see DERP, HERP, shares, etc.; however, I don't see work_diff so I can run through few mathematical scenarios.

sqrt (MIN (share diff, network_diff) / work_diff) * work_diff / 2

Thinking of pointing my new miners over here. They aren't very big, though. I am trying to see if it is worth my effort. What is the current dust limit to get on the payout list?

And just to confirm my understanding after reading through these last few pages : if I contribute shares and earn above the payout threshold, as a little guy I go on the list to eventually get paid, even if I stop mining here in the interim?

Correct me if I'm wrong but at the current hashrate plus difficulty you should be hitting around one block per month.

The current dust limit is the smallest amount you can spend on the bitcoin network. However even if you get above the dust limit it means you will then get into the queue for a payout in one of the subsequent blocks, but you will eventually be paid provided you keep mining. The only caveat is that blocks are so infrequent at our current hashrate it could be a year or more before that happens unless through some miracle our hashrate gets much larger.
