Payments seem to be not working for some reason.


I see the pool sent a payment to my wallet address at 6:17am (transaction id 1117887), but it never arrived in my wallet. It's also not present in the block chain. Any chance of getting an admin to look at it?

I will close my TD account this week citing their unwarranted hostility towards Bitcoin as the reason.

Damnit TD, you've been so good to me until now. I may have to end up doing the same.

Cool, subscribed. Can't wait to see where this goes. I'm definitely in for a few of these units.

Its simple. Because on those short blocks, the block was solved before you submit even one share. Check the amount of shares they were submitted, its less than 300 shares.  1641  people were mining at that time, the block was solved before everyone submitted their shares!
ok, this may be the reason
however this pool should be PPLNS and I understand PPLNS means that when block is found you will look at last N (don't know the exact number) shares and distribute payouts among miners contributed to them proportionally to their contribution.
So also during short round like 10000 shares if N is e.g. 500000 you should recieve your payout even if you didn't have shares in this last 10000
(http://ltc.kattare.com/about.php)
Therefore this means that this pool is rather RBPPS based???

I heard the pool has been RBPPS for the last couple weeks or so.

From https://www.wemineltc.com/gettingstarted , down bottom :

Our Pool uses RBPPS or Round Based Pay Per Share. What this means is simple, you get paid for the amount of work you did to find the block!


EDIT i just noticed it wasnt changed on forum topic, i changed it just now Smiley


I guess this explains a lot. It still says PPLNS in your signature as well the litecoin pools comparison wiki page.


Doesn't this effectively penalize people who are mining with shares at high difficulties because of vardiff? For example, my rigs of 3x 7950s get shares of 512 difficulty that take slightly less than a minute to finish. If the round ends before that minute is up, it effectively means I submitted no shares. On the other hand, if I could manually select a share difficulty of 128 or less, it means that I would have shares submitted every few seconds and get credit for that block.

I'm just wondering how this works because after mining for close to 24 hours, I ended up with 2/3 of what I normally get on other pools.

Yeah, something seems off with the payout. I moved my miners here for 24 hours, and I ended up with about 2/3 of what I would have on other pools.

Is there a possibility of adding a graph showing LTC earned over time? And maybe hashrate over time?

Looks like a nice pool, and luck has picked up quite a bit. I'm considering pointing my 10 mh/s here.

Been mining 50Kh/s on wemineltc all day
Only about .016 rewards so far...

Not sure if this is normal or not?

I think we'll see after the first block is solved. Seems like the pool has been a bit unlucky so far.

I found running the diablo kernel increased my output by about 10%.
Interesting I just tried Diablo kernel earlier tonight and didn't notice anything. What settings are you using?

I've been using wemineltc.com as of today. It's pretty new but seems to be growing pretty quick.

I'd love to preorder one, but it seems unlikely that they will get shipped out any time soon. If I order now, by the time I get it, an ASIC probably won't increase my income by as much as I would like. Sad
