Is there any way to know how much effort is being exerted by the pooled vanity-address-miners (in Mkey/sec) in total? For example, is there any way to know if the current target (JohnGALT) will get solved sooner or later, or if my efforts are contributing in any meaningful way compared to the whole?
I would love to see a little bit of text on the mining pool page saying "
- miners connected for [y] Mkey/s", so I could know (out of curiosity) if I'm the only one working on the pool at the moment, or if there are hundreds of folks.
Cheers
I will look into incorporating that metric in when I will switch over from simple http requests to JSON RPC. For now, I know that there are miners constantly checking for work, but I am not able to determine the speed.
Any contribution to the pool is meaningful. If you are mining at a profit to yourself and that profit is higher than mining for blocks, everyone is benefiting.
