However, I do have a problem with reported work rates.
My client (cgminer) reports 1.1MH and 1,000WU but your stats page only shows me at 0.7MH. Every other pool I've mined in (dogecoin, catcoin, ltc, tagcoin) has reported a work rate that matches cgminer.
Is this a quirk of reporting, or will I actually only be paid out on the basis of 0.7MH rather than my actual 1.1MH?
As a pool, we are not able to accurately know the exact work rate of each individual miner. The method we use, is based on the number of shares and difficulty your miner is mining at, and then guess-estimate your hashrate based on the amount of shares you have submitted. We have a slight bug with our Rejected Hashrate which we are looking into, but our payouts only take into consideration the amount of accepted shares, and their difficulty, you have submitted. I hope this clarifies your query!
PS are you planning on adding any other alt-coins into the basket?
Definately! We're constantly on the lookout for more profitable alt-coins to add to our basket. Our main criteria is that they must be available on the various exchanges.
Thanks for mining with us!
