Heya Kesley..

Just saw your hashpower come online...

I'm watching .. sorry for the disruption, but it had to be done.. we need pools that work good, not just pools that look good.. thanks for joining in.. again.. LOL

Your a legend, Mate  Wink

not sure "power" is a good discription of my hash lol



Guys again thanks for all the hardwork, and especially atleast trying to give small miners a chance (many pools just want bighash as possible joining which kinda defeats the original purpose of pooling).
 
I know mostly you can't do much with the software used to prevent this, but in all pools no matter what coin, (and even making your own conf ot optimise the situation), if big miner step in its very hard for small miners shares to even get accepted.

Good with sexcoin at this point small miners still get returns Smiley so we best make the most while we can.

You are preaching to the choir, Kesley..

Difficulty has gone up and we are sitting on 10.8 M/H.. just because of a pool.. I'm hopeing it will go back down to two, but if it goes back down I think it will bottom out at six... I'm just really happy the guy with 1/kh is getting his cut, but we can't say the server is stable until we actually run it for a few days.. Lava would be really happy, if he wasn't finally getting some sleep...

And We're getting to know our miners by the SXC addresses, and that ain't a bad thing either..

Okay.. Just pulled hashpower off of the pool to see how the payouts react... and we jumped another 1MH on the network while I was doing it.. I'll let you know in three hours how it goes... BTW that extra hashpower looks like bigger solo miners.. must be a few getting in while the going is good...

She's reached full payout in 2h 52 min.. I'll wait the full three hours before calling it though, and retest again.. maybe I should be PM ing this, but I'm excited that it's going so perfectly... If the server stays up and stable over the next few days, we have a winner...

The hashrate has also jumped again.. I think the days of "easy" coins might be fading fast...

Oh and BTW, the P2pool repo is empty but we have considered putting together a "Windows SXC P2pool Pack" with all the software and a step by step newbie guide to setting up a pool, but it's not the highest priority at the moment..

Up on https://github.com/sexcoin-project/

The compiled clients are for unbuntu 13.0.4, 32 and 64 bit..  (edit : and windows of course)
There are dependencies as well, in the clients repo..
check the first post of this thread for help, and the location of openSUSE rpm's if you are are old school, and using feadora..

Although this isn't my department, Max and Lava are the client experts so I gotta say...

If you are compiling in Windows, I can't help you...

Still have 1 hour and 17 minutes until payouts are verified as accurate...
Then we'll pull hashpower off and see how the payouts react... But so, far, everything is doing what it should.. Cheesy

SA6tXuqqirJQuuQYdKSCxHPrzXvzzY8fxm only has 1K/h on the network, but he's getting payouts...

Lava, I think we cracked it.. Finally..

Increasing hashpower to test PPLNS window.

Payout response :Immediate.
Expected time for full payout as hashpower percentage : 3 hours..

Running like a hairy goat  Grin   let you know how it's doing as we go along..

Yes the pool went down ..

Ironically the test pool was on a windows box, on a VPN and working like a charm.. right down to it's PPLNS window..

The "pool" open to the public (though not really) on a linux box was giving us concerns with payouts .. especially to small miners...

Our solution was to set up a copy of the "test" server on a dedicated windows box... And props to lavajumper for going beyond the call of duty and enduring another night with little sleep to get it done..

We are only a few minutes in, and we can't emphatically say that the server is up to scratch, but already it is mimicking the test server.. although it's not using the "fancy" frontend, the stats are showing the same behaviour as the "test" server.. the next three hours will be crucial and by then we we will know that miners are being paid right..

Don't forget this is a new pool, and there could be issues.. At the moment things are looking very good..

If possible make changes so the home doesn't read Payout if a block were found NOW 0 SXC.

The share difficulty needs to be lower, see http://p2pool.org:8245/static/ WDC is much lower.  Hopefully attract some more miners.

The more I'm looking through this the more I see that there is a lot of things wrong. The fact that the stats aren't showing up, and that it won't pay out low-hash miners tells me I've missed something big. I'm hunting it down right now.

UPDATE: I'm pulling it down for the next few hours. I'll post when its back up. (2:25:48 GMT)

UPDATE: sexcoin p2pool beta......3 is up for any adventurous folk.

Yeap thought about that but miners can change their own difficulty to suit their hash power.. by adding "username+0.########" instead of just "username".. change the pool difficulty and the smaller miners get more shares, but then so do the big ones..

Recommend Share difficulty:
Hash Rate (KHash/s)         Difficulty
                 1                  +0.00000116
                 5                  +0.00000582
                10                 +0.00001164
                50                 +0.00005821
                100               +0.00011641
                250               +0.00029103
                500               +0.00058207
                750               +0.00087310
                1000              +0.00116414

How does this work? lol

When mining sexcoin, the usual reward for solving a block is 100sxc. But there is a random chance of a 5x block, 500sxc and there is a quite small chance of getting 50x block, 5000sxc. The pool popped a 5k block yesterday.

And I have to say, I'm feeling terrible about the misconfiguration on the pool. I was mining NoTroll when the shit hit the fan. This pool is STILL beta, and we need miners to test it out. Watch you wallets and please keep the feedback coming.

When I am confident the pool is stable I'll post it in big letters.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone that's contributing!

Something was definitely wrong.

I made a couple of changes to the code and restarted the pool.
Hopefully, that will fix it. Please keep the feedback coming.

Thanks Digger.

The pool is in beta.. It was put up to see if it works and we do have a few miners.. As was mentioned before we want to change the the size of the "N" in PPLNS... It's way too big..

Right now it takes forever to get your percentage of hashpower into SXC. I've been testing on my own "private pool" and have managed to get that down to three hours. It does require the pool be restarted but the cgminer will automatically reconnect when it's back up again, and miners should not lose any submitted shares.

That might have been done today, but Lava had an emergency to attend to. I'm hoping everything will be well, and the pool will be adjusted, but i don't know what his situation is at the moment...

Thanks for trying the pool, Loucy and there will be a few coins headed your way..
