where is virtopia based out of? US?

I'll throw my rig at it

Virtopia's main server is in Amsterdam.
But they have edge nodes in USA though (anycast).

Direct ping from Chicago (where I am) is 46. Which I'm very happy with. Enemy 1.10 shows 155 (which is still ok), but that is a weird/misleading report due to the situation with the software and the anycast server. But try directly pining the site from the command prompt.

-o stratum+tcp://rvn.virtopia.ca:3333

I really like that Charlie set up this new stratum to be optimized for finding blocks, the back end is tweaked to preform. So far, he's done a great job. And if you want other stats on the pool's website, he was just asking on Discord what people wanted as far as feed back reporting . He's a responsive guy, easy to reach and fast to respond.

Yesterday, the Raven Calculator estimated that I should earn 1510RVN. Maybe it was just a lucky day, but I actually earned 2343RVN. That's 55% above estimate. And today I'm already at the estimated amount. So... It's going really well at Virtopia.

isn't ravencalc.xyz based on the "bare" ccminer? it's no wonder vs enemy miner you're getting better payout, right?

I calculate on hash rate, so the miner isn't a factor. I have an higher average hash rate with Enemy 1.10 than CC 2.2.5. So I use 305 MH/s, on What to Mine it's 1480 on Ravencalc.xyz its 1755 - personally I find Whattomine closer than Ravencalc. But either way, I'm doing considerable better than the estimates on Virtopia.

Plus we just hit another block, that makes my payouts way over the estimates again for today. Just saying... come join the fun.

Im sending my hash over Virtopia way , sounds like like their having a BLOCK PARTY over there, hehe

There is too! Been pretty extraordinary since things picked back up after the change from the old pool to the new!
