Does this pool mine Litecoin 50 -70% of the day?  And is this a good thing? Just Curious

Im thinking of  throwing 10-14MHs at clevermining to test it out for a few days, seems even with all the rejects the average still beats this pool. I wonder how it will go with no regects

Hey guys,

I'd like to re-enabled Auroracoin, as its decently profitable at times.  However, since it is _such_ a long maturation time (from mined block to exchanged of about 17-18 hours), we expose ourselves to a decent bit of risk when mining it.

The easy solution is to allow it to be mined, but to limit exposure by only allowing a percent of our outstanding coins to be auroracoin.  Looking for input on what that percent should be? 5%? 10%?

The way it would be handled is mining AUR would be enabled if AUR unexchanged balance was less than X% of our total unexchanged.  If we picked 10%, and had 30btc (estimated) unexchanged, we would allow mining up to 3btc of AUR before disabling it.  As those blocks matured/exchanged, it would open up mining again automatically.

Thoughts?

Yes sounds good, 10% at least maybe 15%

From home I get 70 ping to sea.wafflepool.com (Melbourne AU), but the ISP we're using where the rigs are located has bad routing it looks like (its going from Melbourne AU, to Sydney AU, to Tokyo JP, to Singapore SG). I'll use it as a backup pool for the moment until I can figure out how to fix it on my end. I'm guessing sfire's ping would be good to it which should reduce lag on the other pools anyways. Thanks!

Edit:

10% should be fine I think. It's price shouldn't fall too much too quickly right now I imagine after the bubble.

Any issues with the payouts table?
All my payouts are missing from the stats page... even the one from today... it did go through, just not on the stats page

Not that I know of.  Can you send me the address you're seeing it on? (email is best)

Just as a separate post with caps and bold (people seem drawn to these things)

The SEA server is UP in BETA!
If you think SEA (singapore) would be the best connection for you, try pinging it and see.  If you start mining on it, just make sure that you see shares coming through (shouldn't be a problem, its been tested), but its good to make sure.

People are looking into dogecoin average block rewards:

... img snipped ...

The data is a few days old. The number on the left in brackets is the amount of blocks the data was based off. Wafflepool is the third one down the list (DHL9gFwZNDQp7QeRGHKZamgGwkN5EkYkxU), and the other 300k+ averages are most of the other multipools/selective miners (not multipool.us interestingly). You can see the drop off for actual pure doge miner pools. They might look to change dogecoin rewards sometime in the future if the developers have a clue.

Any word on the SEA server yet?

Thats a really interesting graph, and batently shows we're doing it right, which I love.  It also matches up almost perfectly with my internal stats.  I see avg block value at: 355654.21902317565 Smiley

As for SEA, its up and running, I'll add to DNS right now (sorry it took so long, had to bring it down to grab a launch backup - didn't want to do with the others since they were urgently needed).  Will be available at sea.wafflepool.com, please let me know your pings to sea/eu/uswest if you start using it (and county/city of where you're coming from if possible, so I can gauge usefulness).

its normal for it to happen a little its not normal for it to happen with no accepted's in between for like 20-30 min straight....

Post your recent shifts and what you are using to mine.  Below is what a single R9 290 looks like.

is anyone else getting just stratum detected new block over and over with the occasional work restart message right now?

It's normal.  Likely mining Flappycoin (lower difficulty).

I THINK new coins with new algo will be born for gpu miners
or they will be milions of gpus for nothing? it cant be...i mean it the only way..asics cant kill gpu miners...

There are already coins like that. Vertcoin, Darkcoin, etc.
here's the thing with those though, when sha-256 became too difficult for GPU miners we had scrypt but litecoin was already established and scrypt coins had been around for a while.  Vert, darkcoin, max etc have only been around for several weeks and haven't established a foothold.

Speak for yourself, assuming that these have any impact (I would argue these ASIC's won't be the death of anything), I would just move to mining something more ASIC resistant.

That might be a flawed assumption that there will be any worth mining.

Highly unlikely. SHA ASICS were orders of magnitude better in processing power than GPUs. scrypt is memory intensive and the basic idea was for it to be ASIC resistant. Even in a few months their only advantage would be energy consumption (and in some cases noise, space and heat). In addition BTC was just one coin, you have hundreds of scrypt coins then scrypt jane, variable n etc. All the asics in the world would have to spread their hashing power among many coins. I'll keep buying video cards and if all fails i'll just turn them into a gpu farm and still make money from it. plus they are great in winter Smiley

From what I understand the creator of scrypt says Litecoin (and anything based on it) "used scrypt poorly".  So that is not a large roadblock to ASIC scrypt miners.  The current ASIC script dualminer/gridseed use chips that are made on a 55 nm process that was state of the art around 2007.  I would guess half of the silicon is used for SHA-256 and not scrypt.  So we have yet to see the true power of a ASIC scrypt miner.

There are a number of SHA-256 coins too.  Looking at coinwarz three are currently are more profitable than Bitcoin.   Strangely I don't know of any SHA-256 multi-coin pools (but I haven't looked).  Currently there are two scrypt coins listed on coinwarz that are unprofitable based on reasonable energy costs.  I expect in six months half of the script coins listed will be unprofitable.  It the past month the value of Dogecoin has fallen 50%.  This is very poor when compared to Litecoin that fell around 10%.  As the total hash rate rises the total number of coins produced does not go up very much (by design).   A similar rise in coin prices may not happen.

Also next gen 20 nm video cards will be coming out the 2nd half of this year.  The new GeForce GTX 750 Ti from Nvidia card gives some idea on these cards.  A GeForce GTX 750 Ti uses 55% of the power for the same hash rate as a comparable AMD card.  I expect R9 280X/7970 GPUs used in miners to have a value around $140 a few months after the new cards are released.

multipool itself has a sha-256 switcher. i think there are others as well

If you really want to make yourself nervous, look at this... scroll to the bottom.

50mhs for $7k, 200mhs for $21k. When/if these are ever readily available, we all have to reinvest in new hardware.

I'm not sure about them but I think Alpha Technology is real.
