Hello everyone,
I haven't really been active the last couple of months, but since yesterday I'm trying the external miner on the NOMP pool. Really nice work so far!
Rob, you mentioned the pool found a block somewhen today. How is the payment for the blocks working? Are they paid as soon as they have matured, or once per day, per week etc.?
Another, unrelated, question: I saw that the Sanctuary Payments are constantly dropping since last week (it's below 1k bbp, going as low as 680), although the number of Sancs has not really increased for weeks or months. How is that calculated?
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
Thanks on Nomp, Im still positive on having stratum -- but we still have some bugs to work out in the system.
As far as that block, I ended up erasing the database and the wallet this morning (I erased the wallet around 2hours ago), and decided to run bbp from QT on the server until we get all the bugs out (this lets me see any blocks that we solve).
All blocks solved up to this point were paid out of pool.biblepay.org, also (IE Nomp sent out what it knew about, but pool.biblepay also paid them).
The way the payments are *supposed* to work, Nomp writes the blockhashes down in the database, and wait for them to mature. After 120 blocks, it pays the recipients within 30 mins. We have yet to see any sanity in the process, but once I see a few come in on QT Ill start tracking these babies.
The reason sanc payments have been dropping is our diff is rising - and our DGW algo causes heat/sanc rewards to drop as diff rises.
But that is changing soon, as we are about to remove QT:
