Topic: [CLOSING DOWN] ScryptGuild Auto-Switching Pool - page 26. (Read 102261 times)

As far as I have understood it you just go under Convert to BTC and enter 0.00 under Coin Reserve Settings and it will Auto convert it even if you have your wallet filled in.

How do I remove an address from my wallet? I want the site to auto convert for me

can u ad LGD legendary coin ?

SMC was disabled due to a hardfork that was poorly implemented/announced.  It's not removed from the site entirely (yet), I'm looking at possible ways to revert out the huge number of orphaned blocks mined on the wrong fork.  You'll notice we haven't touched it in almost 3 days now.

As for the roadmap for the site, expect more news after April 15th.  The last week has been nothing but traveling and meeting with accountants and lawyers to make sure everything is being properly taken care of on tax & legal fronts.  ScryptGuild is something I moved forward on which was in a significantly more grey area due to the auto conversion aspects.

It has disappeared from the web site, but my SMC balance still appears in M's Pool Monitor, which suggests that it still being fed to the API.

There used to be a roadmap timetable posted in the news page and Eleuthria was pretty good on being on schedule.  The last two items I remember seeing before it was removed was adding the daily averages and possible addition of PoS coins.

These are both good points, so I have to ask - what are these two coins, and when is Scryptguild going to get these two 2 coins put into the mix?

It's a little frustrating to think that my mining rig investment could be making (10%?) more money elsewhere.

What would be really great is if the operator of SG laid out a roadmap of future enhancements so we can see what is coming down the pipeline.

About the SMC, if you check the SMC thread, you can see that there is some mess going since 3rd of April on with forks and change in developers, so there is option, that your SMC are on wrong fork and lost, that may be reason, why Eleutria removed that coin for time being, as the devs didn`t broadcast the message about this properly (I think first days not at all) and there was situation like that before, when someone took advantage of not properly broadcasted message about the fork on Klondike. So for now, don`t touch and don`t move your smartcoins from the wallets, as you may loose them. And once the situation properly settles, make sure before you start to use and send them again, that you are on proper client and correct chain.

I didn`t read it all yet, but you can check for yourself: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annsmc-smartcoin-official-thread-hard-fork-halving-successful-digishield-555426

Screenlock does nothing!

my SMC balance is also gone
and don't see it in the converted

True, I just don't understand how some pools with less hash rate occasionally end up doing better than other pools with consistently higher hash rates.  When I look at poolpicker, it just doesn't seem like any of it makes a tremendous difference.  At least from what I see there, if you stick with one pool, you have as much chance gaining or losing as you would on any pool, no matter what coin sets they seem to have.  Finding the most profitable pool at the given moment is just as dynamic as finding the most profitable coin at the given moment.  I've yet to see one pool consistently have the best earnings above any other pool out there no matter if they say they have the most profitable coin choosing algorithm.

I do agree the consistency of a pool's profitability is definitely dependent on the pool operator's active maintenance of coin choices, both the addition of good coins and removal of bad ones.  I hope ScryptGuild doesn't end up a "set it and forget it" operation.

I just noticed my SMC balance is gone, but if don't see it in the converted to BTC log.  Did it just disappeared?

Also what is screen lock?

How do you figure?  You absolutely get paid based on the pool's luck in PPLNS.  Only a PPS pool pays you based on submitted shares and removes luck from the equation.


This is true to an extent.  However, switching algorithms and coin choices to make a big difference sometimes.  ScryptGuild for example, has at least 2 coins they could add that would immediately increase profitability.  ScryptGuild also, by my understanding, did not consider variable block-rewards when choosing what coin to mine - this certainly would have hurt the profitability vs say WafflePool by a considerable margin (there was some graphing done of these stats and it accounted for about a 10% difference in doge profitability while the block were variable).

I'm wondering why the hangup or the silence over this topic as well.  As I think about it, I am wondering if the reason why a daily pool average is not entirely desirable for this particular pool is because one cannot assume that the pool auto-converts 100% of the coins to BTC (since each user has the option not to...and I'm sure there are a number that do not, including myself).  So, this pool's daily average is not an actual BTC amount, but an estimate.  Still, I would rather hear an explanation than to have the topic completely ignored altogether.

In my opinion, these daily averages give you false sense of what pool is better than the other.  I've done a few pool vs. pool comparisons and what I've concluded is that I end up averaging about the same for any pool.  You have to mine a pool for an extended period of time and you will see that it fluctuates, sometimes you do better in one pool and then it will switch.  You can even see this at poolpicker.eu/text.php.  In the end, there is always going to be one pool that will do better at any given time.  Even those that claim to have the best algorithm do poorly.  Surprisingly, hashcows, which still uses the most basic coin switching method and produces a lot of stales, is still able to beat out the other pools on occasion.

I think as long as your own hash rate is less than the overall pool hash rate, you own individual earnings in the long term will end up being about the same no matter what pool you go to because (at least in comparing PPLNS) you're getting paid for your own shares, not the pool's luck.  And, the pool is accumulating more shares than you can conceivably deplete.  I could be wrong.  So, corrections in my thinking are appreciated.

So, in the end for me, the only thing that makes me choose one pool over the other is the user interface, the overall user experience.  I  like the fairly immediate payouts here.  If I decided to cash out and leave, I'm not going to end up 0.0001 BTC sitting in the pool that I can't get out as long as I time my mining cessation and withdrawal accordingly.  Not that it matters much...I have less than $0.002 worth of BTC sitting at hashcows that I can't get out.  It's not worth anything, but it's annoying seeing a balance that you can't retrieve.

Possibly because it's more like BTC0.00068330 (at the time of writing, Cryptonator is showing a conversion rate of 0.00000375).  At that rate of exchange you would need at least SMC 267 to meet the minimum selling threshold.  Of course, other exchanges may show different rates, and the rates may vary from minute to minute.

Not sure if this was asked before, but what is Screen Lock?  It's after you click your username, right next to Log Off.

why Conversion Smartcoin not?

Hey Eleuthria.
Could you please add a new value for 'Rejected shares percentage' for every worker to 'Rejected shares' column or just a new column in 'Dashboard' section as on screenshot?
This information is helpfull to watch for workers and investigate high stales rate.
Also I would like to see 'Total Rejected Shares percentage' in the bottom of that column.
Thanks.

Just a note: the recent conversion list on the convert to btc page is getting huge... can you add a page switch or a filter to display only the last n conversions ?

Thanks.

Hey eleuthria,
How about adding Einsteinium (EMC2) & Potcoin (POT). They seem to be pretty profitable these days.

Also, how about stats like btc/mhash daily etc...
I know numerous people have asked for this in this thread, but you somehow don't want to do it.

I know it is your pool & you can do what you want, but believe we would have more new people coming in if they had the Stats to see.

I have been here since this pool started & have zero complaints, but it would be nice if we could grow more that the 3Ghash we've been stuck at foe weeks.
I believe the STATS would help attract more people as mining is all about statistical data.
Just me 2 Cents.
Bye.
