Sorry. I was busy this week. And didnt check infomation and mail often.
I didnt check message here, please mail directly to me info@digital-coin-farm.com

And about p2pool, I dont think it soooo bad. After some test, I'm getting 5% profit more than cex.io. ( 105% ). but you have to wait longer ( p2pool current have about 241T hash power, it require 36 hours to slove a block, not 2 or 3 weeks ).

But payment is good. And you might think, it's not big deal about 3-5%. We will have 20t hashrate, and we might get over 40t later.
for 20t, it's about 2 btc daily. 3% means, you can gain 2.06 btc daily. I will test longer and compare with other site.

And if you want daily dividend, we can do a easy math. We can avg last 2 or 3 days's profit ..and pay daily. So we can get higher return and daily dividend.

And some people ask me...Isnt this a scrypt project? Well, It was. But ltc diffculty rising crazy ( ...last week was 1.7% ..but if you do some math..avg is high ).

scrypt-n's profit is a bit higher than scrypt..but no too much for now ( I believe it will grown up, but not now ).

And it's just time for asic sha256 miner, it's hard to get in usa market. but it's easy to get in china market. So our project can get miner before others.

Time is money!

And it's hard question... Should we get more gpu miner now? dailly profit are lower than before, and scrypt miner is going to release. It's hard to decide.

Sorry for delay to respond.

Ok thanks for explaining how things on p2pools works. So all p2pools works together then, people mining on p2p pool A will get payed when someone on p2pool B finds a block and so on then ?
If that is the case and there return matches there Hashrate they might be a viable option to then.

from digitalcoinfarms message 25/3 on CS
"Currently, we are getting 93-95% profit rate, because pool lag, doa, time expire.....internet laggy"
If it's that bad return mining on cex.io at the moment it might be a good ide trying Eligus or Btc guild out with a few miners already at this stage.

Is it possible to set backup pools in the mining software on the BTC mining hardware you got, a second/third mining pool as fallback options if there is problems on the main pool your mining at ?

Anyway it might be a good ide to spread the miners out on the different big pools when you get 14/20TH, based on last weeks hashrates and the fact that cex.io was working bad for you, maby something like this:
16-22 mars
   %of found             number miners
      blocks      info       14TH 20TH 40TH
Eligus    14.01% (4962 TH pay txfee, 0% fee) 4-6 5-7 10-14 merged mining supported http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Eligius_mining_pool
cex.io    27.58% (9773 TH ? if the pay txfee, 0% fee) 3-5 4-6    8-12 merged mining supported http://ghash.io/
discusfish 12.38% (5129 TH ?%fee)    2-3    2-4    4-8 ? if merged mining supported http://www.f2pool.com/
Btcguild 14.86% (5264 TH pay txfee,3% fee) 1    2-3    4-6 merged mining supported https://www.btcguild.com/
p2p pool 0.51% (181.5TH. pay txfee,0-0,5%? fee)    1       1-2    2-4 merged mining supported http://p2pool.in/
ozpool 0.60% (211.8TH pay txfee 1% fee) 0 1    1-2 no merged mining https://ozcoin.net/

And see how things works out after 2-4 weeks of mining.
Merged mining adds about 1.5003% for namecoins, 0,0481% ixcoin, 0,01781% devcoins, so it's around 1.5% extra if a pool has merged mining.

Expected income on avg for miners when the pool finds a block.
Eligus 25.475 ((25.1+0,375)*1)
Cex.io 25.375 ((25+0,375)*1)
discusfish ?
Btcguild 24.711 ((25.1+0,375)*0,97)
p2ppool 25.348 BTC ((25.1+0,375)*0,995)
ozpool 24.849 BTC (25.1*0,99)

and avg time to find a block for the different pools (based on 144 blocks per day, in reallity it's slightly more as long as the network difficulty keeps increasing) and blocks per day would look something like this
avg time to
find blocks Blocks per day
Eligus 1h 11m 23s 20.17
cex.io 0h 36m 15s 39.72
discusfish 1h 20m 47s 17.83
Btcguild 1h 07m 18s 21.40
p2p pool 32h 40m 47s 0.73
ozpool 27h 46m 40s 0.86

If you spread out the miners over several pools the variance on BTC generated per day/week/month will be reduced and problems at a single pool will effect you less.
