Sorry I posted the last question as you posted this response... So 20,000 DGB is all I'm going see huh.... Yeah, not happy mate....
Feel free to PM us your address and we can check the database logs, some blocks will be pending as well.
If there are blocks pending I'll leave overnight and check balance in the morning, cheers.
Everyone can see the stats, I'll have a look at what happened too and see how I think you did. Remember there are other factors that will affect your mining revenues which are all estimated until achieved.
We really need to build up slow and steady continuous mining but you are helping to demonstrate some of the protective features of DigiByte digitaldoxy.
Less for longer is better for mining, give things a chance to even out.
We also want a distributed network that the community is able willing to maintain.
Hi digitaldoxy. I've noticed the spikes in hash rates in the scrypt pool on digihash, last night and the night before (at least it's at night for me). I've assumed it's your contribution. It was about 4 hours last night - from midnight to 4 a.m..
The overall hash rate during that time, however, is uneven ... It peaked last night at around 800 MH - at around 3 a.m., but that was the peak, the hash rate averaged around 600MH for the 3 hours just before. If I'm right to assume that the additional hash rate is yours - then you're about accurate with the 400MH figure, the typical average for the pool is around 250 MH (it's sitting around 350 right now).
20,000 DGB return for about 4 hours in the pool at an average of 400MH seems normal. That means you would be generating around 120,000 DGB per day if you just let it run. All these numbers seem to make sense to me.
In a previous post, you mentioned that you have mining contracts. I don't know what that means, but I assume it means you either have hosted equipment that you own or you have purchased hash power from somewhere. I'm not really sure what sort of advice to give you because there are too many unknown variables. For instance, if you purchased 800 MH of hash power - but you're only getting 400 MH in the pool ... then that seems like a problem. But, it might not be a problem with the pool. I don't have hosted equipment. My experience is that my equipment runs stable in the pool runs at about 99% efficiency. I see some slight variation in my hash rate, that's typical because it has to do with the difficulty and the number of shares being accepted by the pool at any given point in time. But, you shouldn't be seeing a 100% variation in hash rate. That's too high. And, I don't think my first guess would be that it's a problem with the pool. That sounds like there is something going on with the hosting provider - or, at minimum, some combined issue with the way the hosting provider is connecting to the pool.
I will say that mining DGB is different from any previous mining experience I've had ... I think it's because of digishield. Jumbley referenced it above. I really like mining DGB. I like the coin and the technology they have developed with the multialgo mining. But, the difficulty jumps around during any given point in time. The difficulty changes much more quickly than my previous experience mining scrypt. So, during a single day the difficulty might go from 150 to 250 and then back down to 150. All this is to say that you can't look at 3 or 4 hours of mining and figure out precise returns. You'd have to average it out over longer periods of time.
It seems like you're still unsure about if you want to mine in the official pool. I think it's good if miners support DGB by mining in the official pool. But, I guess I would suggest that you contact the place that you bought the mining contracts from ... and see what's going on ... and go from there.
