Title: DonkeyPool ETH mining, FREE until June 15th, 2016
Post by: davembg on April 27, 2016, 05:11:33 AM
Donkeypool.com is looking for beta miners.

A new pool, donkeypool.com, needs a few miners for initial testing and we're also soliciting feedback for improvements.
Beta miners will mine for free until June 15th, 2016.
After launch, miners will pay a modest 0.5% fee (includes network fee) for pool costs, etc.
We will hopefully have the stratum protocol implemented by June 1.

So far, we've found 9 blocks and payouts are working as expected.
We'll be verifying EVERY PAYOUT to make sure it's fair and accurate.
We're not looking to get rich by hosting a pool, we just want fair trustworthy place to mine.

Genoil, you will mine for free for the life of the pool, just send me your address:)

The pool is built and managed by software engineers and network professionals with advanced firewall protection and redundancy.
Payouts run at noon everyday, with low payout (1 ETH) requirements, so there won't be a lot of ETH in the wallet to make it a target.
We will also be increasing the frequency of payouts as block-times decrease.

Here is the run-line for ethminer:

ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 500 -U -F http://donkeypool.com/coinbase_address/worker_name/hashrate_MH
AMD cards change the line to:
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 500 -G -F http://donkeypool.com/coinbase_address/worker_name/hashrate_MH

Been tried your pool for couple of days, but suddenly the figure of my hashrate drops, I compared my daily income in some pools it's too far against your pool..

I'd like to test your pool using Nicehash but it doesn't like the http:// url. Nicehash attaches stratum+tcp to the pool url automatically. Does anyone know of a way to get this to work?

NiceHash requires what I consider to be a goofy fork for stratum connectivity.
So, we never ended-up supporting it.

We still have a legacy HTTP getwork node active.

The URL is http://www.donkeypool.com/0x45B187fF84d70f0677dF2b76eeB15F6453aef6d0/amd/95

0x45B187fF84d70f0677dF2b76eeB15F6453aef6d0 is your ETH address,
and is your worker name (any short name like "larry" or "nvidia" will do, no punctuation in the name)
95 is your estimated hashrate in MH

I think NiceHash has an option for getwork and DaggerHashimoto.
