Maybe you could add a floating reference mark to the shift graph that indicates where the pool's 5N is and auto updates at each new 6hour shift interval key.
there already is a red line.. all the shifts above that are in the 5N range.
Yup, that is mostly correct from the way I view it. (See Kano's post for the actual way it works
)
Go to the shifts page and it states to click here to jump to the start of the last payout.
I enjoy scrolling down that page and seeing how bad this pool crushes PPS pools. It is one of the best things that has been added to the front end. I don't think I have seen higher than a 9 for the number of times a share was paid.
That is 168.34 % of a PPS pool.
This number has been 6,7, or 8 consistently for a good while now. Those numbers mean that share has been paid that many times for a block find.
I know some people are simply worried about when they are fully ramped up, I've been there.
Some people are trying to figure out the best time to leave and come back, I have been there too.
Some people are really trying hard to figure out the best way to game the pool. Do I leave right after the block is found for a few hours and come back, or leave 3 hours here, 4 hours there, and come back to maintain my highest payout, etc
The best way, is not to leave. Unless there are some GAW like payouts for rentals this is the place to be. Set it, and forget it.
I remember CK telling me that one day and I thought come on man, there must be a way, but he was / is right.
Why is he right, in simple terms?
In my opinion because of past luck and the pool and db code.
The only pools who can compete on a technical level are pools running the same code. It is that simple. Other pools have unfair ramp downs. Other pools run other software which cannot compete. When you are on this pool if all things are equal there is no contest even when the hashrate was 1.2 PH versus what we have today. Sure the payouts took longer, but they were much larger. The variance was higher. However the luck maintains. Just look at the current luck for all blocks, we are still maintaining 102%.
No one touches it.
Set your backup or throw a couple of lotto miners over to ck solo pool and take a chance. You still have the fantastic software base of ckpool, the same lack of orphans, but it is more of a gamble because you are solo mining.
The code is faster, cleaner, and not weighed down. There are amazingly fast servers located in convenient geographical spots.
These guys made the code which runs on the miner, and the code which runs on their pools. Again, simply, these are facts no one can deny with anything but noise, because the proof is right there in the numbers for anyone to verify.
As we move closer to the halving we will see more miners and pools struggling to maintain any resemblance to what we have here.
When someone asks me about the ramp up now, or wants to play with their local difficulty setting I tell them the same thing CK told me. Don't touch anything, use the defaults, and leave it alone.
It is truly, the only way to fly.
