Topic: FeatherCoin Pool - Stratum - page 7. (Read 18608 times)

I ran 2.2 Mh for about 3 hours. After that, I switched to 550kh while also mining ltc elsewhere. The 550kh ran for several hours, to be honest not quite sure how long. I have not done the math 100% since I do not know the exact time ran or work accepted during that time, but just winging it really. I would say the 550k/h ran for about 7 hours if I had to guess. Anyways, as I said I received 50 after around 14-15 hours since the initial 2.2 Mh 3 hour mining session. Then  about an hour after that 19 more coins, then every 30 min or so I keep getting coins in 2-3 coin increments. As of this very moment, I have received 97 total coins.

Sorry I cannot be more precise, but I can confirm the site is paying out coins.

imma find you and make you regret it.

non-stratum pool sucks.

HOw many MH/s did you run and what was your final payout.  I was running about 3.8MH/s for about 12 hours straight and it looks like I've fallen a bit short of the expected payout.  I"m going to hold off from reporting this as anything but a lag because of the 120 confirmations.  I hope there are more than 40FC generated for that time.

I started mining this forum around 24 hours ago. It took around 14 hours or so until I received my first coins in a lump sum of 50. About an hour after that, I received 19 more. From that point, I got about 2 or 3 coins every 30 minutes until I was fully paid for my work. The timing of the payouts is odd (well in excess of 120 confirms for a block participated in) but there is no scamming involved as far as I can tell.

I just chalk it up to the quirks that come with mining on a brand new pool. Viper is often available in the chat on his pool site, and he responds to PM here on this forum. Seems legit to me, and very promising once the bugs are ironed out. Anyways, if you want to mine FC right now, what are your alternatives? On the official Feathercoin topic on this forum, I see links to one site that inst allowing new registration, one that gave me 9200 accepted shares and 1150 stales, one that doesn't allow you to keep track of your rewards by not even having registration, and a couple of brand new pools that have single digit M/h rates right now. Not trying to shit on other pools (that's why I didn't mention them by name) but Viper's pool is the best IMO right now, warts and all. Give it a chance.

Viper also PMed me to say that he is going to fix the auto payout problem, and he's already mentioned in this thread and on his site about migrating servers to speed up the frontend of the site.

I know I am brand new (this is my first post outside of the newbie section) so I know I have zero clout, but for whatever it's worth I recommend Viper's pool.

I understand your concern and wont blame you if you decide to move to another pool. As I have stated before, this was just supposed to be a test of the back end (stratum); I had no idea how bad some of the code was on the front end side and I agree, I should not have gone public with it until it was all confirmed as working correctly. But how do I do this without testing? So I needed some miners to get the blocks ticking over. Now as it has grown so quickly, I am unable to keep on top of everything and currently I am considering taking down the entire pool as it is becoming more of a nightmare everyday. I am spending more and more time each day answering PM's then actually fixing the issues.

I have not disabled the balance update code, only the auto payout code. This will be re-enabled today.


Ive just checked the database this was my findings;

The scripts are taking forever to run still - as I have said before; and this is still something I am trying to work through.

I do not appreciate the accusation of 'scammer' when I am doing as much as I can do, whilst trying to keep everyone as informed as I can as to what is going on. Maybe if I wasnt responding, different story. I would appreciate it if you made a retraction (and an appolgy wouldnt go astray either)


The other site is also experiencing issues - as altpool has a greater number of users/block finds, I feel it is more important to fix this site first and then move all the updates across to mineltc. I will then have to go through any payouts that have been made there already and make sure that everything is up to scratch.


Your right, I'm normally working late into the night and dont normally get to start working on altpool till 1130-1200ish


Looking at the database, it appears all the blocks you mined in have been rewarded.


Thanks for pointing that out - i will re-enable the auto payout code today.

Ahh well that explains it.  He doesn't have the script built for automatic payout then.  No worries then.  I'm confident that he'll work through the rough start.

The payout is manual.

I pulled my miners from altpool yesterday. Gave 1Mh/s of hashing power for 12+ hours and nothing to show for it but a ton of useless shares. Went solo and scored 2 blocks...not a bunch, but better than the goose egg I earned for my time and energy at altpool.

I'll be back when (if) you get it running smoothly.

looks like stats has started updating.  it looks like its just under serious lag.  I'm anticipating a payout soon.

Its 9am in Australia, I think - he may not have woken up by now.

viperaus, check your msgs 

I'd say everyone switch to another pool or go solo for as long as this guy doesn't have his shit handled properly.

viperaus were you able to fully fund your miners in your ltc coin pool or did they loose the coins they were supposed to get?

Maybe we can hunt down some of the ltc pool members at the time and see what their experience was.  I"m sure we could search the forum and see how it was handled.

Nonetheless these delays are unacceptable too. Feathercoin is practically identical to litecoin, there should be no problems in his 'scripts' that he fixed in the LTC pool.

The mere fact that he pulled a similar stunt on his other pool leads me to believe that something fishy is going on.

I don't think it is a scam just yet. They seem to have had a similar problem on their ltc coin pool.

Fucking. Bullshit.

Gave the guy 9 horus of 3MH/s hashing power, and got 0.00000 to show for it (expected was supposed to be >300FC)

So yes, I've pulled out and if I don't get paid for my work in the next days i'm throwing a scammer tag out there.

I'm contributing  3,550 kH/s to the pool.  Estimates should be 1000/FC per day.  My balance is only growing 1FC every 30 minutes. 

I'll have to wait and see what happens in the next 8 hours then.

My balance is still increasing. I am confident you guys will get your payouts. Day before yesterday when the site was down we kept the faith and was rewarded with a lump sum in the end.

been throwing 1.5m+ for 4 hours, nothing except shares on each block seems to get counted, too bad since you got extremely low stalerate

I've been mining for ~7 hours now, and seeing the blockrate the 120 confirms take no more than 4. Yet my balance is still 0.000000

Would be a shame if you actually also disabled the payout code.

It is a bit worrysome to read that the pool is actually really bugged and I'm not as confident that my earnings will be or are being calculated properly. I'm going to suspend mining at your pool if I don't see any balance popping up soon, and probably look for another pool.

I advise to not start one if you don't have its vital functions up and running yet.
