He'll be back. He's currently raping the ghash.io 2x reward down to 1.25 single handed... pretty sweet.

Now thats the whale is gone, can you please change the diff again?

Why does your hashrate jump all over the place?
Is that because of the coin, or the coins difficulty at the time?
Eg you were mining LTC at 30GH/s
Now you are Hashrate: 11.92 GH/s for Dodge?

Because we have a single miner who contributes close to 20GHs, and he jumps on/off whenever he chooses
WoAH... 20GHs of scrypt? I doubt thats 1 person.. This whole pools hashrate is 30Ghs with around 5000 people, Is that 20ghs included or that ramps up to 50ghs when there on... I cant see that being a single miner, is it possible to aim a private pool at this multipool or possibly 300 different miners with 1 address and they are working together..
WF confirmed, its just one guy! (maybe its the representative)...
I really would like to see pictures of this imense warehouse...
think about it... 20GHash! How many GPU´s would have to be to achive this kind of power...
Even with gridseed chips (5 per usb is 330khash), how many would be needed to archive the 20000 Mhash that is now!
Its just insane...

Nice, perfectly correlates with my miner disconnecting every minute. I was like "a server can't get offline and be back available in 10 seconds, pings are okay too, something else is the reason for that..."

So a quick update about whats being worked on (today is a WP work day, woo woo!)
Our stratum endpoints (the geo located ones) are still a bit overloaded. They were never intended to get this much traffic really. One weekend I was like "middlecoin is kinda cool eh, I bet I could do that", and hacked together the initial version of WP. It was built reasonably well (no glaring performance issues, etc), but it certainly wasn't designed to eat double the traffic that MC was taking (at that point I had only dreamt of being half the hashrate of MC), so the "what if it hits 30GHs" wasn't a real question.
Essentially, I think our endpoint code is holding us back a bit (which is awesome to say, because we're staying competetive/on-top with sub-par code). So today is me furiously hacking away and testing new code. Our existing stuff is a terrible mix of Python, PHP, and bash scripts. I'd like to move it to C/C++ for the performance gain (I love me some C). I doubt I'll get it done today, and if I do, it certainly won't be in production, but just in testing with a small fraction of the pool.
The reason I think it is holding us back is a cascading effect. When a block is submitted, the current system has to do a ton of things (validate the block, submit to daemon, broadcast internally, broadcast externally, etc). During that time, that particular server locks up a bit (and this is the part thats tough to track down unfortunately), and stops processing incoming shares for a few seconds, and then processes them a bit later. During that time (and depending on the time it locks up), some clients disconnect since they think we're not responding quickly enough, and get shifted to a different server via the loadbalancer (spiking load on the other boxes, which makes them more likely to find a block and do the same thing to other servers). Also during that 5ish seconds when we're not processing data during a submit, with lower difficulty coins, thats a full time for block (one of the reasons I think we're having trouble with small coin mining).
We'll see how it goes, but thats the next major thing on my list for today.

What about mine DOGE, still will be profitable for multipool after the changes ?
No one can reliably answer this question, and if they could predict the future, then I am not sure why they would be spending any time here. (unless their future vision were limited to this realm)
If anyone can give you a definite answer on this, they are only going to be as accurate as a coin flip. So reach into your pocket or just wait and see...

Thanks for the further clarification Waffle, makes perfect sense. And thanks for all your hard work!
March 17, 2014, 06:14:09 AM
Thank you! Feeling silly for missing that bit. 
It's just that it's never happened before (and I imagine I always have some positive balance, and have been mining here nearly from the beginning), so that's why I thought it was out of the ordinary...

When am I paid?
Payouts are processed multiple times a day, and anyone with a balance over 0.01 BTC is automatically paid in order of when you reached the threshold. On Sundays we pay everyone with a balance over 0.001.

Its possible you've never seen one before just due to when payouts went out previous to the sunday payout. Perhaps on last saturday you just happened to have over 0.01, so it looked like a normal payout (maybe the payout before that was early, so it had more time to accrue, etc).

Has it happened to anyone else?
Yes.
I believe it is normal.
I think once a week they pay out under 10mBTC balances.
March 17, 2014, 05:25:48 AM
Waffle (or anyone else),
One of my recent payments (at approximately 18:00 (GMT) yesterday, 16th) was for 0.005, which is less than the usual threshold of 0.01. Not complaining or anything, just curious why this happened. Don't worry if you don't have time to explain, I don't have a problem with it at all, was just wondering.

I've also had some people email/PM me about "recent payouts" not listing properly, and it looks like some caching broke on the server in terms of mapping addresses to internal user IDs. Payouts are going out (and have been going out) 100% fine during the time, so theres nothing to worry about like "OMG YOU NO PAY ME", its just an internal issue for listing the actual payouts. Essentially we have a ton of rows in the payout_log table that have user id's of 0.
Again, payouts are working fine, and the issue has been fixed going forward, but there are a number of accounts that will not show their actual payouts between the 5th and the 10th (I think those are the dates). Depending on how big of an issue it is (it isn't a problem for me or the database), I can write something that pulls the transactions from bitcoind, parses the addresses and amounts, and re-loads them into the database.

can we finaly have a value of straight ltc mining, since we all are scrypt miners, at the stats page please? with current difficulty and 0% fees (yes, the spherical horse in space).
it would be wp style to be this open. and since we trust you, pw, we can skip on using calculators all the time. like right now it is 0.00577 with ltc/btc of 0.02707 (pretty high).
can someone ask him about this, i think i am on his ignore list, but this little number will make life even easier for us.

Not on my ignore list, just a ton of posts to sort through, and didn't have internet
I do want to get that on the site somewhere, just needs to be done well, and its not easy based on the way we handle pricing (we need to handle it two different ways). Essentially, all pricing data within WP was setup for its original purpose, which is telling "Whats the price we can sell the next block of X coin for". That includes a bunch of logic based on our depth analyzer (things like depth, how much we have unexchanged/pending exchange, how much the next block is worth, and what % of the network hashrate we have). That is currently the only price we store in the system for each coin, and I'm sure that no matter how much I make that clear when posting it, people are going to freak out at how I'm listing LTC's price at 0.xxx and they see it on [pick an exchange] for 0.yyy. We also have the problem of explaining to people what "theoretical" means in terms of the number being a number you really wont hit (orphans, exchange price, etc).
Long story short, its on the list, just a matter of being a long list

Absolutely haven't forgotten about it. Unfortunately my internet was out for most of the weekend (Friday night until Sunday night), so a lot of that time if I wanted to get anything done, it was tethered through my phone, or taking my laptop to a bar. So I've mostly been working on stuff I had locally (new stratum build, also my actual job =P).
Well at least you got to a bar for a while!
