Topic: [NR 1]: Triplemining.com || 1 BTC(or more) jackpot every week - page 3. (Read 25131 times)

I'm not sure on the answer to that.  It is interesting, though.  I think this block started during the jackpot day, so GHash/s jumped up to like 133, then slowy trickled down to its 40 GHash/s.  Those still mining are increasing their portion of the total number of shares, but those who left might be getting the benefits pool hoppers get (though presumably those benefits dwindle in a case like this).  However, at the end of the day it's still only 50 BTC to go around to everyone involved in the 120+ hours so far, whereas if three blocks were solved in 24 hours, that would be 150 BTC to go around.  That said, if everyone quit mining, the block would never be solved, so the longer (more shares) you have mined, the more you would have to lose by quitting.  When they go to PPLNS, this all changes, and only those mining within 60 minutes of the solution get anything, which would be hugely beneficial to those solely mining at triple on the rare monster block like this one (unless the timing of a problem screwed them over).

Is this better or worse for people who have been mining strictly in triplemining? Will we receive bigger shares?

damn the current block is taking ages....

I guess that makes my previous post a bug report (either the JSON API is showing lifetime stales 0and wow are they low] or the worker page isn't showing the rounds shares, but instead always shows '-').

yes, same

Are invalids and stales the same thing?  The worker page always shows - for invalids for me, but the JSON API page shows stales.

Wow this block is taking an age. 100hrs now my word. I hope we have some quick ones coming up!!

I changed it

For some reason the page is showing up weird in Chrome

then in FireFox

Sounds interesting. I will join!! 

Oh, it should say under Payment Structure something like: "If a user doesn't have a parent miner, then the 1% owner fee goes into the jackpot."

Where ? 1% is for the owners , but people that register on www / with no owner give it to the jackpot.

I noticed throughout your site it states that miners get 99%, owners get 1%, and 1% gets sent to the jackpot.

I don't get it.  Do you mean to say "number 1" pool? I'm in USA, and "number" is shortened to "No" or "Nº" or "Num" or "#" but certainly not "NR."

"I am not happy about getting double fracked when my connection was dropped or something else crashed. "

Let me clarify this. If my connection gets dropped (thanks to my crappy ISP) and I end up mining in another pool for some time and if you have  PPLNS, I am starting to lose my rewards, if it happens at the bad moment. 

Our 2 server-clusters (eu1 and eu2) have nothing in common, so they can survive if the other crashes.  Put your main and backup pool to either, so you will not go down....

I am no expert on different reward types but just reading the descriptions, I prefer a SMPPS over a PPLNS.
I am not happy about getting double fracked when my connection was dropped or something else crashed.
My miner switches to another pool, when it can’t connect to my main pool (https://Krokodill.triplemining.com) and I have better thing to do with my time than inspect it all the time.

 

Personally, I would have voted for SMPPS, but PPLNS probably makes more sense given the jackpot situation.

So we've been plagued with poolhoppers, that abuse our pool.  The only correct action we can take to these abusers, is to change our payment system, in such a way that it becomes less interesting for poolhoppers (and therefore more interesting for fair miners).  We are going to change our pool to a PPLNS pool.

What does this mean:

We will payout for all last N shares submitted, where N is defined as the current difficulty divided by 2.

In other words, when a block is found, we will look at the last 845450 shares, and we will divide the 50 BTC over the people that submitted those shares.  The number 845450 is half of the current difficulty and will be automatically adjusted if the difficulty rises.

- This is more fair for cpu/low power miners: you will have profit from very fast blocks, even if you could not submit a share for that block.
- This is fair for irregular miners: if you only mine at night, you will ofcourse have less chance on finding a block, and only when your pc is actually mining during the finding of a block will you receive BTC's, but you will earn much  more from a block when it falls, so in the end, statistically, you have more profits then with no poolhopping protection.  Note that your income may fluctuate even more...
- This is fair for normal 24/7 miners, as they will get more, as the poolhoppers cannot run away with any BTC's...
- This is not pleasant for poolhoppers: they will get 0 on long blocks, and a block after a long block will not gain any decent profit anymore.


So when are we going to implement this change?

Soon

Just got my first minipool miner. Great website guys, SIGN UP ;]
