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
Oooooooh. Well that could well explains it. If my first estimate was about equal to my payout but now my estimate is about half of the payout then the payout would be closer to what I remember for this pool. My current estimate is only something like 80% of what my first round payout was. But this round is already about 20 hours longer. So if the payout was around twice the estimate then it would be higher than the first round as I would expect.
Another thing that might not encourage new people to join this pool is the 9TH in the thread title. I notice the other pools update that and bitparking hasn't in a while. It makes it look smaller than it is. I came back here with my "too little too late ASICs" because I remember liking it when I was GPU mining.
