Yep. Mine thrown off the pool and can't re-connect.

that's correct. Uncle block payments is a plus. that's the profit in other pools. An uncle is a late confirmation, but it's still a confirmation so you get residual credit..

And it was an uncle of a block. Talk about pulling teeth. 
Yeah, was a rough week for noobpool. Things should be better now. Uncles are such a low % chance to get, and we get one on our 3rd block, and at 175% variance.
Guys, can you explain me what an uncle block is and why it payd us only 3.75 eth?
(I am happy
I just managed to overclock the nvidia 1070s: under linux isn't a simple task...)An uncle block is kinda like a stale or orphaned block that you would see in some other currencies like bitcoin except with Ethereum you still get paid some. The normal rate for uncle bocks is about 3%, so the fact that we found one on our 3rd block is just really bad luck. I'm sure someone could explain it better. Some pools don't pay for uncle blocks, but that seems really unfair and would cause a lot of people to stop mining if it were on a small pool. On big pools you might not notice it.

noobpool, just want to ask, for example, for a new block, if I started mining for a day, then I temporary quit the mining session, and I played PC games for a couple of hours, while I played PC games noobpool hit a jackpot solving a block, will I also get paid for the previous 1 day mining work that I contributed?

Yep, you still get paid for the work you did, you don't have to be mining when we hit a block to get your payout as long as the amount you mined is enough for you to reach the payout threshold.
And on a positive note, I almost have the email notifications working. I'm so close I can taste it, just something isn't exactly right. I know it's gonna be something simple, like a port number in a config file..

looks like 174% was the magic number, we finally found a block!
I don't have to cut off my face and eat it afterall. On the downside, it was an uncle. But at least we are passed that block and looking for better luck on the next.

167% of unluck
Yep, maybe the next one we'll find at like 5% to make up for it.
If we don't hit it by 200% I'll eat my own face. I'll cut it off and eat it. I'll upload the video to youtube.
167% of unluck
Nope. Theoretically you could be unlucky for some time. the pendulum swings in both directions We hit the first two blocks relatively quickly so now we get to experience the other side of the curve. It's like watching the average hash power go up and down. I'm mining on one card at 19MH but it swings from 11MH unlucky mining to 28MH lucky mining. It's still mining at the same hash power it just depends on what the random number generator discovers.
This is a marathon and not a sprint. We have good hashpower now and should be finding them much sooner than this. Just give it time. The pendulum will swing back to the lucky side.
Watching your GPU find a share is an amplified version of finding the block. You'll see minutes go by sometime on one GPU and nothing found, then a "nonce" appears out of nowhere. Then you see it find two in a row. Same thing with us finding a block.

Is there an upper cap to the round variance???
148% and still no block. Okay, if we don't hit it by 151% I'm going to binge watch all the twilight movies in order and keep watching them until we hit the block. Please god let us mine that block soon.
Current round variance is 152% so looks like it's time for: 
Please make it stop. It's killing me, and not in a turn me into a vampire kinda way...
Another update, watching New Moon now. Oh god it's boring.. I want to stab myself in the eyes. But this bottle of wine helps a little.

Hey, just joined the pool from New Zealand and pointed a few rigs at this pool, if it works out I might bring all of my rigs over, should be another 900mhs on top of the 330 I have in the noobpool already. Love the idea of a small pool. Now lets find that next block
Welcome, our first couple blocks were at a low variance, but this one is being stubborn, up to 140% so far. Maybe the next will be at like 5-10%.

Are you willing to support nicehash for your pool?
Nicehash is supported, just use Daggerhashmoto as the algorithm.
yeah i use it on ethermine, but i need some setting from the pool to set up nicehash. Have you tried to set it up? i can't!
I haven't used nicehash before, but the settings for the pool should be the same as the claymore settings I would think.
Hi, i'm still trying to set up nicehash on your pool, but it doesn't work, it seems to be incompatible:
Can you do something about this?
The password has to be #, and the port I believe needs to be 8008.
nope, with 8008 port it says:
