Nice to see that the pool is up again! Thanx for bonus balance! 

Please help me in mining on this pool. I am using Claymore's miner and connect to pools through dpools.txt. Both
POOL: smart.capacitypools.com:5555, WALLET: ..., PSW: x
and
POOL: smart.capacitypools.com:5555, USER: ..., PSW: x

give KC: Authorization failed. I have 1.3 GH/s to add to the pool, help to get connected would be appreciated.

...Edit...: solved, stupidly filled in wrong wallet address, thank you dev for helping me out!

I'm going to try and help with my miners.
cheer up

 

The first server setup got its blocks rejected because "One of the SmartHive rewards is missing" (this is the actual error given by the SmartCash (SC) Core. I did not even consider the possibility of the SC Core not paying SmartHives automatically. The reason I thought it was automatic is that a pool traditionally (and in this case as well) asks the Core application in question for block-creation parameters using a method called getblocktemplate. The SmartCash Core does not give any data about the required transactions that must be made to SmartHive addresses (these change every 8-45 blocks by the way) in response to this method call. This vital information is not available anywhere on any SC website, nor is there any information about it on any SC social media.
I had to read through the SC source code to find which addresses (and the correct amount, with an error margin of 0.00000002) must be paid in every block for them to be accepted by the network. To make matters worse, regtest (test version of SC Core that is made by the SC team) does not require these transaction which means my pool server worked without problems on the test net but not on the real one!

I have since updated my pools software to include SmartHive payments that change every 8-45 blocks and SmartNode payments that change every block according to the rules dictated in SC's main.cpp. The testblocks I've built with the software matches the ones I can see in the SmartCash explorer but since there is no way to test if it actually works, I can't say for sure that it will. All we can do is wait for a block and see which of "Rejected blocks" and "Pending blocks" increases.

In my opinion, this is terrible practice by the SmartCash team - hiding, or at least neglecting to tell the community about the details behind their application. It is sad to see with a currency I have so high hopes for.


By the way: this is also the reason they removed solo mining.

I'll give er a try and see if I can help mine that first block...
Are you confident about your server configuration (won't be another "PremierMiner" scenario I hope)?

The 1 pool was the only thing that turned me off to mining this coin.  Good job I wish this pool was around
before I started duel mining vertcoin  last month.

We have had two invalid blocks so far
There is a 50% chance though that block will be found within  24 hours.

Nice to see that another one miner has come here. Give us a block, please! 

Alright, thank you for your input. I will try to implement these features before Friday.

Ideally you would see yours and the pool total next to each other:

Joe Address Accepted: 99993 (99.8%)
Joe Address Rejected: 12345 (1.1%)

Pool Accepted / Rejected: 99.5% / 0.5%


Thanks for the other changes as well.

Well, the website has just been updated with a new design and a couple of new features. Please take a look.

You want to see your worker's rejected shares? ... or the pools total number of rejected?

I'm with you guys, since I believe too that SmartCash should get to the moon once, in all meanings. 

Is there any kind of auto-adjusting difficulty assignment on this pool? Also, I would like to see more detailed statistics for my SmartCash address, like at nlpool.nl. At least I would like to see rejected shares percentage at the pool's side.

It is pay-per-share!
These problems have now been fixed; you can now see shares found and blocks mined if you enter your address.
Thank you.

Is this a pay per share pool or solo?

If it's a share pool it needs a way to display how many shares you have mined, blocks mined, etc. Even with a basic website the address lookup should return those basics.

REDACTED.
Pool down for maintenance.
