Thanks. the 2pacs were running fine, was just that the hash wasn't being reported. it finally showed up about an hour later. After the changes they are just constantly getting work restarts. Certainly suggesting you do anything that would comprise the S9s for 2Pacs . and yes they all dropped again It also looks like the d=  is no longer being supported on S9s or anything on SHA. thats probably why 2pacs aren't behaving as. no longer on d=512. Looks like
everything is set to 100k on sha. I will keep an eye on the S9s and 2pacs.  Have about 130 thz at moment on SHA so more interested in the S9s

**** Update ***. Read it wrong. looks like all SHA is forced to 1M diff. going to fire up a couple of T9s also and see how it goes. will leave 2pacs on for weekend but at 1m they are going to be pretty ineffective. Interesting though - the pool set the 2pac rig at 125m and getting restart every min or so. The website doesn't seem to be showing hash rate for a lot of rigs. they are listed but no hash. Maybe just a lag.

**** Update ****. MRR rigs dropping like flies - they are just hanging. Not sure what happened. They are all S9 clusters. But have had 3 of them gomdark in last 15 min. They had been running fine for 3 weeks on your site. might want to look into this. Not sure if its the MRR layer or what  but rigs that had been stable now won't hash. A few would finally pickup after few minutes. Moved the others over to Slush and will try again later.

In this case, we had several days worth of changes/improvements ready to deploy, but an issue that we deemed important to upgrade as soon as possible for the benefit of miners was the reason we didn't give advanced notice. Ideally we want to ensure that normal updates have advanced notice, but for issues where we believe an immediate deployment is the best case for everyone then we'll use best judgment going forward.

As for the 14 2Pacs, there is a change to diff that we implemented which could be causing that. I'll go ahead and look into it further to see if tuning the difficulty down in the range of the 2Pacs can be accomplished without hurting S9s and capabilities of that nature. I can manually make a change now and if you wouldn't mind giving me performance feedback tomorrow after it has had some time for you to see results,  I can then tune it further to optimize things.

Update: We made another change based on your feedback, so apologies that it probably knocked your MRRentals again, but based on what I'm seeing so far, it seems to be a decent health improvement for S9s based on difficulty. That being said we are going to spend more time the next few days coming up with a plan on how best to allow the 2Pacs and devices of that nature. With the current network situation of all sha256 coins, we want to make sure that finding blocks is efficient and as profitable for miners as we can make the pool from our end. The changes we made today allow smoother operation of S9s, Nicehash rentals and further tech as network difficulty keeps rising. I'll continue monitoring and adjust as I can to benefit you and others on the pool, at the same time we won't restart unless necessary from this point forward.

I may have missed if so apologies if you did this but would be great if you post advance warning of restarts - i get that some can't be planned. MRR just goes to backup pool and doesn't revert back. My own equipment reverted back fine.

one other question. Along with my S9's have 14 2Pacs running on a big hub with d=256. Its been behaving fine with minimal work restarts. But since the reboot the hash isn't showing up. the rig is as its the only d=256. appears fine on my side just not displaying hash on the site

its 15pCpgJpRoYv6f1BY2Jsck2zBTBKvFBBRF if you get a chance. has been running fine for weeks until the restart. maybe just reporting issue

Yeah exchange support does seem to be increasing, but still not enough to make LCC that profitable. Also the hashrate and difficulty of the LCC network appear to have pretty volatile swings that just wouldn't be decent for profitability at the moment. At the time of this writing its about 3-4x more difficulty to find than DGB and its value is down a decent amount as well. With BTC up again the ratio is dwindling with people dumping LCC, not enough buy support on the exchanges to prop up value. Also some exchanges don't even allow deposits even though they have their markets for LCC open. We'll still keep watching to see if the situation changes, but for now we are doing a lot more coin evaluations to add/swap in when it makes profitability better.

Hello,

Pending balance is the amount of blocks that you are continuously finding, it seems like you had been mining steady and as a result your pending balance is growing. Also, it appears you had a period of downtime around 16-40 hrs ago at the time of this post and yesterday your balance wasn't moving because of the period of time you didn't mine on the pool. As you have returned, the balance begins to move again after the 24hr mark of your return of finding blocks with the pool. The pending "catching" the balance is all based on when blocks confirm and also how steady you stay connected to the pool to actually earn balance. Everything is working as it should and hopefully that answers your question.

Hi

How long it takes to the balance catch the pending balance?
I have been waiting now a long time and nothing happends..
wallet is LdbustKDoDTWYwbh2jxVV96MLD7Avk5d9N

Just happy a real exchange opened so I could finally dump it. I did mine it for a day out of curiosity. Given the transaction time in moving it to the exchange today, it appears not much miner activity. Well, at least the forkers made some money .

Nice to see the SHA hash picking up on the site. Good sign! Keep it up

It's the standard yiimp api - https://pool.gigarho.com/site/api

What is API for this pool, I didn't see it listed on the site page

I mentioned in my last post that we were going to be focusing on x11 and attempting to improve what we are able to improve. Since our last post, we have added a few new coins into the rotation and disabled a few that were causing "luck" to play too much of a factor. The results so far look promising as we have seen x11 go from hovering between 0.02-0.023 actual yesterday to now today it is currently sitting at 0.03393 mBTC/GH/day. We are still monitoring and helping out when and where we can.

A few notes, looking at your account that you listed previously, you have some periods of downtime (scrypt) and some on x11 as well. Not being live will of course affect daily rates. Also LTC is up in value 8-11% over the past 24hrs while Bitcoin and most x11 alts have stagnated or dropped so that exchange rate will naturally be a cause in daily difference. Another point I'd like to make is that even though you were paid 0.16156037 LTC today, you have 0.56LTC pending confirmation. In reality you have earned more than 0.16 in the past 24hrs, its just that the other x11 blocks haven't been confirmed or exchanged yet and are pending. Once they confirm and exchange it gets added to the balance.

We spent a lot of time recently researching x11 coin options that are able to be deployed. There are definitely a few more under evaluation to add if and when they become a confirmed benefit, but for now we have what we believe to be the best options that are sustainable. There aren't many things on your end that would improve the situation, its just where the x11 network is compared to months or even weeks ago. My goal is to make sure that you and the rest of our community can be mining the best options and we won't stop trying to get to that goal. The changes in the last 24 hrs will definitely help.

Last 24 hours I have earned 50% of prior day or .16 LTC with 10 x D3 19.3 GH. Any new updates? Any new coins? Will it help performance if I adjust my difficulty from 64 to 92? Any ideas for better performance would be great.

Absolutely and trust me we try to ensure that which coins we offer have the best outlook going forward. Each day becomes a different story based on not only coin difficulty, but also the profitability of those coins for that moment when it is found. On x11 specifically many coins have decreased in value relative to BTC's growth for the past few days and a couple have increased. The other factor becomes how many miners show up each day as they earn a share of what is found. The only factor that we have control over is what coins are put out there for our users to try and find. Everything else, price, difficulty, luck, etc is all external and we wish prices were where they were at in December, but with this rising difficulty prices haven't grown in parallel. We'll always be on the lookout for ways to improve things, especially what we think is the best fit for our community.

The number .27 you gave is based on how much is confirmed and paid to you in that day from your last matured balance payout. From what I can see, you still have a decent pending balance that is awaiting confirmation and also it seems you turn some machines on and off, so its hard for me to speculate what is going on without knowing your hashrate/machine average beyond the past 24hrs.

Regardless, our goal is to make sure we put good opportunities out there for everyone to find and we'll continue that.

Ok I am used to earning .45-.55 LTC per day at other pools. At your pool I am consistently at .27 daily. How much of the variance is due to your site versus the recent difficulty increase?

Thank you for your consistent and quality communication.

There is nothing wrong that I can see, SaveTheOcean (STO) reports a bit differently where it doesn't immediately notify the wallet page that is has been found like the other cryptos do. It takes roughly 15-25 minutes to mature and report as found. At the moment I'm seeing around 26 blocks (3 of those being STO), so I assume that the last hour had a few more that are in the maturation process. Some hours are slow as we try to find higher difficulty blocks, some hours produce many small ones. It all varies on hashrate and what coins the pool is trying to find based on the profitability of that moment.

In the last hour I have received about 8 coins total with 10 D3's. Is their an issue with the site or other? My earnings haven't mover during the same period.

We've been monitoring it closely as well, many aspects of LCC are very volatile right now and make it difficult to support until things become predictable. If things do change to the point where we feel comfortable knowing that it won't affect miner's earnings negatively, then it'll be considered for deployment soon after.

We've added a decent amount of cryptos in the past few days and are working through our list to see what else would be viable. Lots of options, just need them to actually benefit our community.

Not sure my question about LCC support was a good one - lol. Certainly all signs point to scam alert. One crappy Russian exchange, no real volume and no way to create a wallet on the exchange. Hmm.  At $5 - $7 the optics are very profitable to mine. But you can't get rid of them so not sure they read the full Satoshi white paper 

Not complaining and plan to stick in here (I did have to give LCC a fun try last night - total scam alert as far as I can tell). I fundamentally believe there are higher returns in alts and realize it may not be every day. You run a great pool and are clearly focused on doing the best you can for your customers. That said, the steely and unemotional math is what it is so I will occasionally point that shit out. Keep doing what you are doing - great customer response, open communication when things aren't where you want them to be, and clear communication about what you are going to change for the better. That builds loyalty. I have every rig pointed right at you and would like to keep it that way

Each day is a different story, when BTC directly is up around 31% in value over a week it affects exchange rates of alts. Depending on if those alts follow BTC in value, stagnate, or fall effects their "profitability". Luck plays a factor, time, hashrate, momentary difficulty and much else. That being said, we have quite a few sha256 coins in testing right now to add which we believe will help. They will be rolled out as they appear ready for live usage. 3-4 have already been pushed live in the last few hours. We constantly look for new options, but my past experience shows that most of the time there are sha256 alts that are more profitable to mine than direct BTC.

SHA returns appear to be slightly below straight BTC mining at the moment - I have 100Thz on Hashflare that has been paying (before fees) between .0092 and .0096 BTC per day. It's split across three pools. Interesting as Coinwartz and Cryptocompare (at 0pct pool feel) shows BTC at 0.00836 so not sure how updated their calcs are. I highly doubt difficulty on BTC has dropped so not sure why the large discrepancy but the real world returns don't lie. Hopefully can see the return here get closer to .01 or above
