Hi all,
am I the only one who has the impression that all known pools are currently "out of luck"?
Could it be that some pretty big player has started to hash with his own pool without anybody knowing it? Or why else seem most pools currently not finding any block?
Miningpoolhub is doing well, there is a block every several minutes. Currently round estimate 3,5 min with around 40% of whole FTC network. But this is not very good for FTC. Hashrate should be more distributed to other pools.
others:
Theblocksfactory has only about 40MH/s with rounds in several hours. You can see that they reduced fee to 0% from the moment when miners gone. They had 2% fee before.
Give-Me-Coins has longer constant rate in the range 100-200MH/s with estimated rounds about 1-2 hour. They apply 1% fee but only 30 confirmations to payout (the best value among other FTC pools). Their luck is weak last days.
And in general, yes there is "somebody" with stronger hashrate who sometimes run in the FTC network. It was visible last days, when network diff was higher than ussual. Maybe it is the load from a multipool or a private bigger pool, who knows...
the official pool that I run pool.feathercoin.com mined a block around an hour ago....i've had no reported errors. We find blocks fine we just have a low hash rate because we only brought the pool up a few weeks ago.
could you tell me why do you apply 125 confirmations for payout? Official pool should have better conditions. Why do we have 6 confirmations for the blocks to be accepted and irreversible and some pools still work with 100+ confirmations?
