Nlpool blocks seemingly scarce today. Even with hashrate doubling in last 24 hours...
I agree that a pool % should be charged as nothing is free.
I can’t find the global hashrate of verge anywhere, does someone have a link as I would like to see the suggested impact of claymore on the mining of the currency.
Agree! nothing is free and here is the difference
http://mine.nlpool.nl/site/mining - 1544.509 XVG
http://antminepool.com/site/mining - 1562.01 XVG
so yeah I think in each block around 15 XVG are going towards nlpool owner. I could be wrong as well cause I don't know how this amount is decided.
Seems to be going to DBY4e5T7UW7o6akHcDoY2MjoFnjQ11yKkm.
I have no problem with a 1% fee but would like to know about it!
There are no transaction fees for the XVG coin in the pool on the mining part, but because of that a negative balance will be created, since XVG coin itself has transaction fees for every payment made towards every miner, so the pool needs something to cover for that. I guess that is what you see since a lot of miners are connected and a lot of payments are going out.
Let me emphasize that we try to be 100% transparent here. I read some of this thread back this morning about balance going in and out of wallets of miners. This is because we have no delays, minimum payouts, and i don't prefer to have to put them in. When a block is immature you see it in your wallet. When the block goes orphan after a few minutes then the amount is erased. True, we can manually put a higher XVG amount there where you are reading on the dashboard just like others do, and yes we can make a delay for the balance so it's a bit less wobbly, but i rather not do that. Also, there is something about hot and cold wallets. I prefer to keep the wallet balance on the pool as low as possible for security reasons.
In the next few weeks we will sort things out... like a decent website, a faq, transparant transaction fees and their explanation to cover for the hardware and colocation costs and other things, so please wait for that and give us some time.
As for the profitability of the pool, i am not going into pool-name comparing etc. but the very reason this baby was born is that things did not add up on other pools while we were mining ourselves. So yes, i know why you guys are skeptical because you have experienced probably the same.......... But please, just hit the whattomine website, put in your hashpower and look what you should be getting and compare it to our pool and others. I am sure you'll be more then satisfied.
Have a nice weekend!
