Come bring your mining equipment to the TreasureQuarry and help find some elephants!

TreasureQuarry's new Elephantcoin pool has just been launched.  The server is based in France in Europe.

The pool uses P2Pool which has the advantage over standard pools that you don't need to sign up to mine, and payouts are immediate once blocks are found.

To connect, just point your miner to http://elephantcoin.treasurequarry.com:14777 using your Elephantcoin address as your username, and anything as your password.

For example with pooler's cpu miner (source code available from https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer), use:

minerd -o http://elephantcoin.treasurequarry.com:14777 -u YOURELEPHANTCOINADDRESSHERE -p x


Please never  use an exchange address for your elephantcoin address. It's best to use an address from your own computer's wallet.

Pool fee is 1%, which you can check at http://elephantcoin.treasurequarry.com:14777/fee for confirmation at any time.  

Choosing your psuedo-share difficulty

To get a good representation of your hashrate on the pool's graphs, and also to possibly improve your efficiency, adding the following to the end of your Elephantcoin address (including the + sign) is likely to  help. Just find your nearest hashrate from the table below:

Hash Rate
(KHash/s)   Difficulty
5        +0.00000582   (minimum pseudo-share dificulty)
10      +0.00001164
50      +0.00005821
100     +0.00011641
250     +0.00029103
500     +0.00058207
750     +0.00087310
1000    +0.00116414

For example with a 55 KHash/s machine, use:

minerd -o http://elephantcoin.treasurequarry.com:14777 -u YOURELEPHANTCOINADDRESSHERE +0.00058207 -p x

This will make your miner report when it finds "pseudo-shares" of a certain difficulty (you'll still need to find real shares for payments to start).  Once you do find a true share, payments will start going straight to your wallet as soon as the p2pool finds blocks.   Due to the way p2pool's PPLNS (pay per last N shares) works, the payments may seem to start slow but will then build up to reach a peak and reasonably steady rate.

You can view statistics at http://elephantcoin.treasurequarry.com:14777/static/ , and graphs at http://elephantcoin.treasurequarry.com:14777/static/graphs.html . Your own graph will show on the graphs page under the heading of your Elephantcoin address.  

Happy mining. Smiley
