Re: [9 TH] Bitparking Pool, DGM 0%,vardiff,stratum,Merge Mining
This round is longer than the last but my estimated payout is quite a bit less still. Is this due to the difficulty increase or is something else going on?
Dgm is like that, it also carries over credits even if you stop mining
I mined here quite a bit with my GPU's 5 or 6 months ago or whenever that was, so I am sort of used to the DGM. But I have only been back for this round and the previous one. I did get in on the previous round from almost right at the start. But what seems off to me is that for the previous round I started at zero and still got a higher payout than I am at for this round where I did not start at zero and where I have been mining longer. This is not how I recall DGM working. A longer round always equaled a higher payout. Although back then the difficulty jumps were not so steep which is why I was wondering if that had something to do with it.
I hadn't noticed this. Maybe outages are responsible for the low DGM estimate I am seeing?
It seems like the DGM payment estimate is about half of what it ends up actually paying out. I don't understand how it works, but I'm ok with the payouts overall.
Oh geez that better not be the case for me. My estimate is already not very impressive for this round. For the first round I was in (the one prior to this one) my payout was exactly what the estimate was (or at least very, very close since I didn't actually see it end).
Payout is HIGHER
Exactly, I look at it as perhaps they are showing low estimated payouts to make sure people don't feel like they are overpromised or anything.
I'm ok with underpromise, overdeliver, but it seems like a large descrepancy, which may scare new miners away.
As for the pool outages, my monitors check every 10 minutes, and I only got one e-mail in the middle of the night, which means I believe the pool was down for less than 19 minutes over night at some point, and back up & running just fine.
