I've been on Middlepool since it first started, but since I couldn't get a stable connection the last few days, I thought I'd give Wafflepool a try, to see if I could use it as failover at least. I'm mining with 330 kh/s and 95 kh/s, but where on Middlecoin I'd expect 0.005-0.0075 BTC/day, it seems on Wafflepool I'm only getting 0.003-0.004 BTC/day so far. Any smalltime miners that have compared the two pools and can say whether they are comparable?
Its been a low-luck day. Adding luck stats is definitely on the list, just a bit behind some other stuff we're working on. As we grow, we're definitely going to have some slow days unfortunately. Today (so far) seems to be one of them...
The luck statistic I've been asking for is not just display fluff. It let's people judge whether the observed earnings they are seeing are higher or lower than normal due to luck. That is important, especially for a small pool.
Yep, just a matter of tracking coin switches and times across them (mining time per coin since last block). Not hard, just a bit of time to do right (and tons of stuff to do).
I really like the transparency of wafflepool, vardiff should have a minimum of 64 tho.
waffle is just missing the hashpower to be more profitable, if it goes up to middlecoin levels the profits will also increase.
The plan is to allow for a minimum vardiff set via password (d=64 or some such). But need to get the new endpoints up before we add it in.
Hashpower shouldn't make us more profitable, only reduce variance (luck smoothing)
is there eu server for this pool?
Literally working on it as we speak. Spooling up stratum endpoints in US East (NY), US West (California), and Europe (Netherlands). Hopefully up within a few days (maybe late tonight?)
