I was halfway into my 24 hour test... lol
when the delay in payout started.
Simply put I was going to take the 24 hour period and divide my total to get the hourly average. No worries about the pool the biggest worry would be the website. I trust it will get sorted out. I just wanted to put it out there that to be taken seriously an ALT coin needs to be on their A game all the time.
Hi Mushin. I think you have important points here. My comment here isn't about your points - it's about your strategy to get an average. I know that mining (and approaches and strategies to mining) is a bit different for everybody (i.e. I only mine scrypt). I really like mining DGB - it's all I mine now. When I first started mining DGB I attempted to do the hourly/daily/average thing. It works - obviously. Or, better stated, if the server payouts hadn't been delayed it would have worked. However, as I continued to mine, I noticed that the daily averages were super different. Clearly, mining rewards vary slightly at any given time ... there is an element of chance involved ... but, still, I noticed that my averages were spreading out too dramatically for the reason to be just statistical variation in daily rewards. Just by way of example, there will be days where I mine 30,000 to 40,000 DGB ... and then days where I mine 12,000-16,000 ... In all fairness, I don't run my equipment 24-hour-a-day. So, I have to account for hours that I mine per day. But, even taking that into account, I noticed huger divergence in averages. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to the difficulty adjustments.
Most coins I've mined have difficulty adjustments that happen much slower, and tend to mostly move in small difficulty adjustments (maybe down a bit - but mostly just incrementally higher). DGB is different. As a result of DigiShield - and the effects of multipools that autoswitch users for profitability - the speed of DGB - the difficulty can change (like huge changes) throughout a day. It's not uncommon for the difficulty to change 60%- 80% within a short period of time. So ... all this is to say ... if you're like me, you'll have to spread the averages out over a bit longer times (like weekly averages) ... otherwise you get unclear comparisons.
