I have had no payouts for 2 days but hashes are still being accepted for x11 minerpools and suchpool.
at suchpool i watched the round progress bar climb then past 79% then drop back to 44%.
anyone else have this problem and found a solution?
Good Morning,
The reason that happens is because the "progress" bar adjusts as the difficulty adjusts as well.
Also, keep in mind that progress is only an estimate. Remember, the time to find a block is a "memory-less" function much like a Poisson process. In other words previous work actually has no impact on the chance of finding the next block. This also implies a wide variance between blocks, or that some blocks will be found in quick succession and others with long gaps in-between.
So no fix is required, as long as the pool is connected to the network it is behaving correctly.
up to the first 3000 blocks suchpool was getting a lot of blocks now it's lucky to get 1 a day... even with a few g/h's it was still lucky to get one every few hours, so something seems unbalanced, mining this with x11 is totally useless... at least suchpool has a warning up now. I thought it was supposed to be 1 block every 5 mins for each algorithm making it 1 minute per block for the whole network
