Anyone will help me in one question?
I started to mine whatwhatever.kn.vutbr.cz/proxypool/ like over 15 hours ago...
here is my spec:
http://whatever.kn.vutbr.cz/proxypool/?vtc=Vt2XA43QYbf9HQGSmLRjAeyir9mtbKgu9H&mon=MEuH6FfqQunZ74yiZaxeAJvVVjPUDypzsWtill now I got just few in total coins paid... and see like over 20vtc and 88mon are awaiting payments... and its like this and rising from a whole (but in meantime I am getting all time coins in amount like 0.1 which I dont understand why and how :/)...
So questions are:
- am I safe in this?
- Should I wait in calm for coins to arrive?
- Is here owner of this node somwhere so I can ask when payment can expect?
Generally I was not able and wont be able even maybe for days to put own node... thats why I chosed someone (and not pool to make this decentralization...)... But now I am wondering if I wont be robbed by them ...
Please anyone advices
thanks
I've been wondering about those "shares to be paid" values myself, so I had a look at the code behind it.
The values you're seeing are the sums of the "share values" for each valid share you've found. This value is calculated as f(share difficulty, net difficulty,block value). I'm not sure this is an actual exact value, as it was my understanding that each time a block is found on a p2pool network each miner is paid relative to the number of valid shares he's submitted during the N last rounds, and proportional to the total number of valid shares submitted by all miners. If a round is long, the share value should decrease and vice versa.
Simplified, it would be something like:
VTC_reward=(personal_shares_Nrounds/total_shares_Nrounds)*block_reward
I'm not sure the actual value of a share can be known before a block is found, which would mean that those values we're seeing in the stats could be exaggerated or not depending on the pool's luck. Maybe it's an average, expected value being calculated?
I'm speculating here though as I'm only just starting to learn about these things, if someone with more detailed knowledge could chime in that'd be great!
The current Proxypool nodes are paying differently from P2pool. P2pools use PPLNS as what you described. Proxypools use CPPSRB, a method which is 'closer' to PPS.
