Ultrablockparty.com/ is a highly efficient pool based in Amsterdam, come check it out today!
Very short test with small <5kh/s test miner using yacminer. Overall it works but... With small miner it soon drops pool difficulty under 1 and yacminer is in troubles. Due to lack of time I did not test with more powerful yacminer rigs and cudaminer rigs.
Please add one port where is vardiff but limited so that there is minimum diff 1.
On ultrablockparty.com I just set up port 3334 with a minimum vardiff of 1. Give that a try with your yacminer. Port 5555 also has a static diff of 1.
Cudaminer works fine with fractional difficulties. I've never had any problems with it anyway.
Thank you. Exellent!
This is good:
Ultrablockparty.com/
port 3333 vardiff
port 3334 vardiff, minimum diff 1
port 5555 static diff 1
Yes, cudaminer do not have this problem.
I will make new test later after I have time for it.
I have now some small miners(workers) running in UTC European pool . (as rapture333 tell there is some frontside things under work... but this pool can use. )
UTC European pool Ultra Block Party Now I have mined some short time using
- port 3333 (cudaminer) mining works well.
- port 3334 (Yacminer small miner what many times get below 1 pool diff in full vardiff. In this port it do not get below 1 diff and it seems working well)
In Europe, ping time to this pool is much less than USA pools! In long run it may give some advantage for European users.
I think it is also good to share hashing power more spread than just one pool. In small pool where pool hashing rate is low credit have more variation but average is same as long as all other things are ok.
It is also good to have distributed geographically wider area.
