The pool may be working, but it is crippled. My miners are either not connecting or getting disconnected due to "job/share timeout" ..

Blackcoin wasnt instamined or as you say instamiend Smiley

It was heavily... Got 520k of them the day it launched in less than 1 minute

Congratulations... hope you kept them to the peak?

Nope sold it for 11.5 btc a few days after launch...

Still, good work! Decent size rig?

Is the pool under attack? Reject-rates are through the roof for some selected miners (one of them is mine). 10GHs rejected seems like someone is trying to DoS the pool?

For faster coins, if you cannot submit 1 (high difficulty = 512) share, you get paid nothing. So if we mine those coins for 1 hour, the slow miner will earn nothing during that period.

Is that share mined by a single GPU or is it distributed by all GPUs in one rig?

You would still have the same (proportional) reject/stale-rate as miners with more hashrate. Over time it will even out. But yes, looking at a shorter timespan it looks as if you are not earning anything. Each share is (always) mined by a single GPU. (In reality, by a single thread running on a GPU).

If you mine a fast coin for an hour and can not submit a single share (regardless of stale or not) something is wrong with your setup. If you can submit, but only stales, you have a latency-issue. A closer server or better connection can fix that, but it isn't a diff-problem. Remember, your miner will submit shares (non-solutions, as proof of work to the pool) but also REAL-solutions that are used in the blockchain. So if you find the actual block you will get paid as well, as if it was a ordinary share.

Look at it like this:
If you have 4 GPUs, and stick them all in the same box, you will earn as much as if they were 4 separate computers with a single GPU each.

Total hashrate is all that counts. My advise to all that are worried: Try it out for a few days, and look at the profits/day after a few days (when unmatured balances have been sold) and compare that to your alternatives. Do not look at single days, look at the trend and average.

Every miner has to decide for him/herself what to do and when to call it quits...

Enough about the difficulty-issue already... statistics and probability will even everything out as long as you keep on mining!

Lets say you have just one GPU 620khs, and compare solo-mining LTC (HIGH diff) and pool-mining (LOW diff).

If you look at it over the course of one day or even one week, the pool will pay you money and solo-mining will probably result in 0 LTC.

- "Aaaargh! The high diff is causing me to loose money!!! GRrrrr!!"

But in reality, and in practice, that is not the case.

Using 620khs a solo-miner would, statistically, expect to find a block in about 70 days at current diff.

So after 70 days, you would find a block of 50LTC. In the same timeperiod, you would get about 50LTC MINUS poolfees from the pool.
In the long run, the two different strategies end up with the same result despite huge differences in difficulty for the shares.
(Yes, it might take more than 70 days, but then think 700 days.. or 7000..whatever)

IMPORTANT => Unless you understand the above, do not consider reading on, read the above part again <= IMPORTANT

The exact same thing applies to mining in a pool with different difficulties. Diff 512 or 128 does not matter. On average, you will get paid the same. It does not really matter if you submit 10 x "512-shares" or 40 x "128-shares" (conceptually).

The only time it would matter, as i see it, is if a coin is mined just a few minutes, so that a small miner does not even get one share submitted. But then again, it would not be a big deal, statistics dictate that what you lose in one period is made up for in another. So all you loose is the difference between profitability between the two coins mined.

I think h2odysee is doing a great job. Look at this pool as your personal-crypto-broker, you give h2odysee a bucket of hashrate, and he uses it as he sees fit. If you do not like the results, go elsewhere, just as you would with your money and a proper stockbrokerage-firm.

The only thing i would like to see is the possibility of him automatically splitting the hashrate in the pool, say:

10MHs KrugerCoin
15MHs Spots
20MHs Fastcoin
Everything else to Litecoin
etc.

(Either automatic or by choice)

Still letting everyone share the profits during a given period for all coins. That way, we can earn more, as we can sell a smaller volume of high-profitability coins with low market-depth.

I am so tired of seeing -coin as most profitable, just to find out that the marketdepth is about what i can mine in 2 hours, then it is much less profitable than anything. If we can mine many coins at once and sell them to those (unrealisticly high) prices, the *true* value of each alt-coin would appear. That would automatically stabilize the value of all alt-coins to realistic long-term levels.


Just my 5 cents sitting at the breakfast-table!

Try to make the switching more seamless, my fans RPM and  GPU-temps are all over the place when the switches occur.

Perhaps make the switch gradual using two pools/coins, not having everyone switch at once, but rather switch when the fetch the next workitem / submit a share.
That would make the switch happen over perhaps a minute or two, where two coins are mined at once until everyone has switched.

Also, perhaps only switch coin every hour or 30min, as it still takes some time to transfer the funds to cryptsy and sell them?

During the time that I couldn't access the API, I had disabled a couple of low trade volume coins because I was concerned about having a large volume to trade.

I was worried about low trade volume thing. If someone knows the coins you have in your mining list and they mean to do your pool harm they could buy up a bunch of low volume coin so the price goes up and your pool will automatically start mining it and you wont be able to sell at the price that it was propped up to because its so low volume.

Any intelligent algorithm would only look at the buy orders, and also look far down enough to get an average price of the expected amount of coins that will be mined..
