the miner works with dashminer.com multipool only
Very interesting, watching.
Before anyone asks - no, that's not me Smiley

I know that - not me either. You can tell cause it's on GitHub, and looks like code from SG was used.
not me either, otherwise I would have played the sock puppet  Grin


So much negativity, but well... What can you expect from bitcointalk.

Not negativity. Curiosity. I want to see how this scheme will work or how will it fail.

I am trying out this pool just for the fun of it....
It looks like they are actually paying about .2 dash/day on a 290x.
What happened to .4 dash/day?

edit:
Hmm now my diff is set at 8 and I haven't found a share in almost 2 hours...

Thanks for trying out the pool.

0.2 DASH/day is what is shown in miner software. Current promotion is "double payout". So you will get 0.4 DASH/day.

dashminer.com sets share difficulty pretty low (around 0.1) with a target of 3 seconds for low reject ratio. There's no way to get to diff 8.

Looks on par for me.  Just received 0.00324 BTC after 24hrs on Dashminer.  That's on an 280X generating at 81%.

However, currently WITHOUT Wolf's bin, I'm generating roughly 0.0017 BTC a day at best on Westhash.  Now, after promotion and payout goes back down to 0.2 DASH/day (0.002 estimated BTC equivalent) my payout from Dashminer will be estimated at 0.00162 BTC a day.  If your miner is better than Wolf's but I'm generating the roughly the same payout elsewhere WITHOUT Wolf's bin, I guessing you are profiting the extra hash since I'm not necessarily benefiting from it.  I do find the "we have a fast mining kernel" and the claim that it is better than Wolf's (on the Dashminer thread) marketing strategy interesting because if the statement is true, it actually has no relevance to the miner because, in reality, they don't benefit from it...you do.  I'm not saying that's necessarily bad, it is capitalism after all...I just find the psychology behind it interesting.
