thank you
... and the code to allow me to add web pages to show that on the web site is very close to completion (it's in testing)
Although the information has always been there, I'm completing adding in the summarisation of that information into the appropriate tables so that web requests will be quick and thus possible.
Once testing is completed and I put it live, I'll then work on adding more web pages to show payout/payment/performance details.
As a new miner I would appreciate some better stats for payout/payment/performance. I have tried to figure out the payment system and I am totally lost. The guy I bought my miner from said to use this pool, so I am sticking with it. Right now I have been mining for 2 days @1.5Th and have recieved $1.16. I am hoping this keeps going up otherwise the math ain't working. Trying to hang in there.
I am a fairly new miner myself and at first the payment methods used by pools sounded like a convenient way to use a ton of math to intentionally make things complicated.
After moving a significant portion of my hash to this pool I have not looked back except to say Wow, what a difference. The last pool I was at has an experienced, respected pool owner who does a good job. The payouts for my small amount of hash were never anything compared to what I have made here.
Also the level of support here is immense. You have the two guys who make the most widely used mining software - CGminer here for the pool side support as they wrote that software as well.
At the moment, I do not see any pool being as transparent, they are here everyday answering many of the same questions, and you can track every payment.
The PPLNS payment method provides you with less variance than others.
You could also try solo mining, but it is a gamble, and you may not ever find a block. That is CK's pool and his thread is right here in the pool subforum.
Otherwise, as Phil told me when I started asking all sorts of the same questions, set it up and forget about it.
It is certainly not good to move around "chasing" luck, as another valuable lesson to learn is luck is in the past and no amount of luck will affect the future.
GL!
