woohoo!

EDIT:i'm a little sad and really glad to be pushed off the top hashrate spot

And to celebrate.... I'm giving away another 10 BTC for block finders, extending the existing ones!

Yes, congrats. from 12gh to 100 nice.

It would be nice to find a BTC block now...

now reaching 150Gh! congrats 

Been mining PPLNS for 2 days, still not a single BTC block. Even if we found a block now that would make me earn barely 33% of what I make at deepbit (including their fee) in the same time... This pool really seems to be cursed or something, never seen it lucky :-/

Woo! Thanks!

Hey Mike! Congrats on 100Gh!

Just a heads up. A BTC block was rewarded to the Proportional Pool and found a false positive (share id was below existing winning shares).

I removed the incorrect data, but it should soon be awarded to the correct pool and share id.

UPDATE: Turns out it was still supposed to go to the Proportional Pool, just at a much later share. Another block found by me! 

Seems luck came back to SMPPS pool, at least with NMC 17 found blocks in the last 24 hours with only ~20 Ghash/s average speed, and already 3 blocks with new triple difficulty...
Hope the same comes to BTC 

+1

I have had no problems with payout! This is one of the most honest pools by a long shot! I have helped in mining every btc block this pool has had and never had a problem getting paid! so, go troll another pool, since that is what you seem to do (ive read your past posts)!

While I'm sure you've made a compelling and eloquent argument.... All I see is:


Oh, and thanks for bumping my thread

and ignored. forgot to mention that part.

....And thank you for your contributions to the community. In the mean time, do a little reading up on SMPPS payouts.

You have a whole whopping 0.2831708099999995 NMC unconfirmed remaining... out of an SMPPS pool that is under deficit.

So yes, I still think you are either trolling or just not sure how SMPPS works.

If you're quite the authority, why not make your own pool (not using my software or a fork of it like the other half the pools). Or..... you could just go to another pool and rant away there. Either way, I'm done dealing with you. Any future ranting of yours and I'll just close your account, ban your ip, and send you your coins when and if they confirm (Yes, I'd still even give YOU your rewards).

Nice and promising pool you have here 

However I would like to suggest some more monitoring stats to include:

1. Add to My Stats 24hour (from 0 UTC time to 24 UTC time) earnings indicator (for profit/loss purpose)
2. Add personal stales rate (I'm not sure about this, if needed) According to my miner, I have no single stale in the last ~100 000 shares, I thought this is because of merged mining, but I checked other merged mining pools, and they have pretty high stales rate. So perhaps I'm missing something  or it is doing just great!!!
3. Provide estimated time to find a block for BTC and NMC separately (in the future NMC difficulty should rise)

Also I am wondering few more things:

4. In the top life time share list I have 0 shares, what could be the reason?
5. How does the payment system for SMPPS work? Confirmed block reward*(miner total unpaid work/total unpaid work) or somehow else? Hence adding stats like this to My Stats would help:

Pool Unpaid:   30.39144889 BTC
Your Unpaid:   2.00000000 BTC
Your Pay Ratio:   20.0000000%
Pay Next Block:   0.40000000 BTC

also something like this:

Total pool Work     40.00000000 BTC
- Paid pool Work     10.00000000 BTC
+ Confirmed BTC     20.00000000 BTC
+ Unconfirmed BTC 50.00000000 BTC
= SMPPS Buffer      20.00000000 BTC

I know that luck (like a curse or smth  ) wasn't on this pool in recent days, and also I understand that implementing these stats for each of those 5 or at least 3 pools is quite complicated, but on the other hand it would bring much more transparency and confidence for concerned miners, also it would attract more hashing power, because of efficiency of monitoring tools and stability (very stable recent days) of this mining pool.

Thank You,

Thanks for the transaction log, I'll take a look.  To be honest I very much doubt the problem is with transactions and I'm sure there is nothing nefarious going on.  All I'm saying is that, statistically, something is broken, whether that's the stats or something more serious.  It is not just a case of experiencing incredibly bad luck, I am able to predict incredibly bad luck.

For now I've moved my miners to another pool to protect my own interests but I'll look at the transaction log to see if I can find any clues as to what is wrong here.  I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Now that's interesting to know: the pool is already small, but on top of that there are 3 sub-pools each working independently? Not too great

The BTC blocks were in PPLNS pool. If you had valid shares, they were paid. SMPPS pool hasn't found a BTC block yet, so all shares are still at an unconfirmed deficit.
