Pool Closed

The pool is running properly and no longer in a beta release.   ;D

I just changed the pool to use Stratum  So, you may need to re-connect miners or restart and re-connect miners.

Pool: http://fc.mnlan.net
Port: 8181 (stratum)
Port: 8080 (old long-poll)
Fee: 1% <- Dropped from 2%.
(The 1% fee is because we pay in 10 confirms and not 120.)

Features:

• Until I run out of coins, I will be giving each user who solves a block an extra 50 FC.

(disabled for now)

• Detailed stats
• DDoS resistant
• New features and refinements added daily
• PPLNS (hop proof)
• Easy to use
• Stratum!

Also on IRC: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#ftc.mnlan.net (http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#ftc.mnlan.net)


First 4 members to solve a block for the pool will get 500FC/ea.  Only one win per member.

Winners
1st: Altammi - PAID
2nd:CNSMining - PAID
3rd: mminerr - PAID
4th: kneemoe - PAID[/list]

In with 6400kh to test for you.

THX!

I've moved about 140kh/s over to you to help you test:)

You guys are awesome.  Everything looks good so far.

I just enabled the firewall, let me know if any of your miners stopped.

Everything seems to be Ok. 15k shares-100 stales, quite good :)

I am in,my 2*7950 are at your services. :)

Glad to hear it's working.  I'll get stratum enabled asap.

100% acccepted so far :)

sending 900 kh/s your way

MnLan.net registered in St. Cloud but hosted in Ohio?  Hypocrite!  :)  

server is down?

Thanks for the feedback.  No clue where you are even going with that..

Looks ok from here.

Weird, it kicked me off the server and won't let me connect...keep getting switched to other pools...admin you ban my ip, lol?

I can look..  PM you ip to me.

I was just poking fun.. The domain name is MNLan (Minnesota) which was registered in Minnesota, but hosted in Ohio.  har har... meh...  nevermind.

Anyhow, good luck with your pool.

It's cool.  The intertubes are too expensive in MN.

Wow no block yet?

No, we have a number of sub 1Khash miners.

Congrats to Altammi!

any reward for the second block ?  ::)

I just changed it.  First 4 blocks will be rewarded.

ok I ll be sticking around anyway, lets see how unlucky I am... ;D

good rate of accepted shares, some minor problems with disconects though.

Does your miner disconnect or does the website blip?

my 7950's fall to 300mhz and remain there, is this a disconnect or sommething else?

Do you have stales or HW errors?  I have 4 connected and the hash looks correct.

some stales, no HW errors but i am undervolted.

Is the server lagging for anyone else? I am having disconects and low hashrate on server for 2* 7950

I contacted the hosting company.  It seems a little more widespread than just my server.

Router issue or something.  They say it "should" be good to go now.

Is there something up with the stats?  My miners are running fine and run perfect on Litecoin.  Yet for some reason someone on the pool with half my hash rate has 30k more submitted shares then I? lol  What gives?

EDIT:  Also - are there an issue with payouts?  Noticed the 2nd block confirmed and I still dont have a balance.

I havent changed the the conformation to 10 yet.  I changed the site back to 120 conformations for now.  After the 120, you will see the payout.


What is your username and what should your hash be?  If someone has been mining longer, they will have more shares.

CNSMining

For the current round we have been mining and equal amount of time.  Something changed and I have "passed" him, but something really does not make sense in those numbers.

Looks like you found a block.

Whoreface reporting in.

So is there just 1 block left for a reward?

2 blocks, because i found one and that does not count.   8)

Ah, I see.

Why yes sir, it looks like I sure did! :)

EDIT:  I hope the payouts are more accurate the pool data.  From the pool data a round payout for me is around 52 coins.  According to pool hash rate we should find roughly 13 blocks a day.  52 X 13 is 676 which is well short of my expected income per day at this hashrate.

Something just isnt quite right.  I hope this is straightened out by payout time. :)

You also need to factor in luck and network hashrate.  You really need to mine for days in a pool for the averages to work out.

Out of curiosity when do our 1st block bonus's come through? :)

Once the 120 confirms are done.  It's all yours!

Tossed 2200ish at it for the night.  :)

What!?  Only one night?   ;D

Rebuilding machines tomorrow... got some more video cards coming in:)

Just joined!

Looks like all the reward blocks are claimed.

And mine hit 120 confirms.  Hint hint! :)

Put my rig on earlier today(yesterday now) when I saw this posted. Have had a large amount of rejects(1423 sense I restarted the miner about 9hrs ago), but seems to be running pretty well right now.

I'll get all the winners paid out today.

Updated the first post.

Payout for winners was posted on first post.

I just modified the main IP for the server.  So, you will need to re-connect miners, or reboot and re-connect the miners.

The DNS looks to be resolving properly now.

Pool fee dropped to 1%.  Thanks!

Added the official FC logo to the site.

Bump to the top ! ;)

this block is taking so long man

That round went on for ever..

Is down or what?

No, the dns server was restarted and did not come back online right away.

Exchange is up, start mining people!

Nice pool.
I found the 24,442 block.Counting on my reward , hah hah~

the pool has crashed ?

Seems ok here.

Pool luck is much better today.     :o

I had problems with connections at start so i left, I will try again today.

I like your promosion policy.

you know even when the pool becomes really large like 100 Mh/s +, it would be fun to have for example a 2% fee, and give back a few FTC bonus to each one that wins a block. Even if it is a small number.

When it gets larger we will do fun things for the members.

Stratum is a work in progress.

Thanks everyone!!  We just passed 17Mhash.  Not huge, but a milestone for us.

I agree.. I am having the same problem here
Paid Shares
Your Valid: 73063
Invalid: 3202
 thats a lot of invalid shares.. Perhaps turn up the difficulty? or incorporate something like VARDIFF from wemineltc?? Lot of loss of shares.

Thanks to a known bug, some blocks are not paid automatically.  I will manually process those shares sometime during the day.

nick: noname

i give to you all coin in the account.

I turned up the diff on the pool.

All block shares that were not paid out are now paid!  Thanks everyone.

Thanks. When should I expect the bonus coins, if I've found a block?  ::)

Usually the day after I will pay out all the previous days block bonuses.

You don't want them?

For those asking why are daily coin estimates lower.  The diff just jumped way up.

Its a nice pool and i was in the top 3 mining.......but than the power gone down and i have connection problems.....so i had to switch
I will switch back, when this problems are gone.
Btw i found a Block and i hope i get this 50 FTC reward :-)

Regards  Sukki

The server ran out of RAM.  Should be ok now.

Curious, how can you tell if you've found a block in cgminer? I see accepted shares and all that good stuff, but nothing about blocks found (unless I'm missing it).

 In the user stats you see it.  Cgminer won't show blocks.

Ahh I see. Didn't think about that.

Throwing about 1.2Mh/s at it now. Just realized I found a block at my previous pool this morning... hopefully I'll  luck out and find a few more while there are still bonuses :)

Um, what is going on?  I'm estimated 70fc per round and I'm only getting 4fc per round......

Yeah... I'm not really liking my results so far either. I was estimated over 10FC/round. I've been mining for about 3 hours now w/1.2Mh/s, and only have 1.58FC from over 5500 paid shares so far.... yet 5 blocks have been found in that time. Something is not adding up.

I'm wondering if niteryder is having some technical difficulties if his server & miner are at the same location... he was mining and in the top 5 miners not long ago, but now he's sitting @ 7kh/s...

I'm not too worried, just thought it was odd with the 10x + difference in payment.  Maybe just some miscalculation on the coding.

Yeah, I guess I'll give it a few more hours to see if it clears up before I switch back to is-a-geek's pool.

Just talked to admin...he said the server is still having problems after the last difficulty and so he's going to be doing manual payouts.

Yeah, I got the same message. But now my miners are going crazy and showing that I'm getting an insane amount of shares (like 5,000 in the last 10 minutes or so).... obviously that doesn't seem right for the current difficulty, nor am I seeing the same results on the pool's website (actually worse than when shares were accumulating properly, and my hash rate is showing less than half of what it should be). I may switch back to is-a-geek until everything is sorted out.

sorry man, but not seeing anything good from your pool so far.  :-\

I've already switched back to is-a-geek's pool. would have made way more in the six hours I was with you than I have made so far here.

Something is wrong, for sure.

Awaiting 50 for Block #26,865?

Stopped mining here yesterday because:
~1.6kh/s
Your Valid: 136349 shares.
Found 1 block on the pool.

Total Account balance: 7.25991154 FTC

pm from nyterider: "Found your user.

What was your hash rate because it all looks ok.  Not to mention it's based off pool luck as well."



?!?!?!?!
Please make this right...

Now isn't that funny....  :-\

Anyway payouts are working ok for me and I have made 2x withdrawals.

But back to my original request:




I'm still waiting  :-\

You will have to wait. There are people, waiting for those 50 FTC before your lucky share.

Exactly my point! I have witnessed how these things can roll - BOTH ways!
Oh I don't mind waiting, it's the Pool owners ability to show up as being online and not reply to any of his pool members questions I am more concerned about! ;)

He guys, sorry for the issues.  Not to mention my email never notified me this thread was being updated.

Anyway, the payout issue is fixed.  SOOOOOO, no more strange partial payouts.  Please allow me some time to go through the blocks to hand process the crappy payments.  Also, I will get the 50 FTC bonuses paid out!!

Good to hear my man. Been with you from the start, let's keep this train rolling into the new difficulty, shall we?

Indeed.

I ran the script to re-payout 15+ blocks.  Most users will receive a little extra due to the way the script worked, so ENJOY!

Now on to paying out some 50 FTC bonuses.

50FTC bonuses paid out now as well.

Thanks for diligently making this right.  ;D

No problem.  I have no intention of screwing anyone over.  Maybe word will get around that I try to run a stand-up pool.

is it just me or the pool is offline? i am stuck at "cgminer started" line. I still can connect to other pool and ltc.  
start /realtime cgminer --scrypt -o fc.mnlan.net:8080 -u zero7090.1 -p 1

A/R is 7:1 for me.. Me no like.

Got my bonuses, thanks.

I've been also getting high number of rejects now (over 20%). First I thought it was because I was downloading with full bandwidth and it went down when I disabled the download, but now I'm getting them again without any bandwidth use. I'm mining with two computers and having the same with both.

I am really trying to stratum up and running.  With the payout issues now fixed, hopefully I can get this resolved.

Poll down for a few minutes while I install stratum.  HOPEFULLY

seems Up again

and also the only pool which runs firewall friendly at port 8080 atm?

I'm sure everyone will hate me.. But the pool now supports STRATUM!!


Please point your miner to the following for stratum:

fc.mnlan.net:8181

I didnt get my promised Bonus for my Block..........

niteryder.. you should add  your support for Port 8080 to your headline, as this is an advantage over all other FTC pools out there at the moment.

I know a lot of people for which this is essential.. maybe you can also add port 80 maybee ?

I would like to add 8080, but members are still using 8080 on longpoll.  So, when I changed stratum to use 8080 as a test, it was just getting a bunch of erroneous errors.

I'll look at adding port 80.

yeah meant that as it is, 8080 for longpoll... (just to add to the subject for advertising..)

I like LP because some restrictive firewalls seems only allow http(s), no stratum
and I don't really see an advantage for stratum with GPU, so we should at least also LP keep running..

It is back running now.

thx, already mining !

I edited this post, because niteryder hold his promise and all is fine now !

I still can't see a straight 50FTC transaction?......For Block #26,865?

Very nice.  I did post to the news section of the site that the 50FTC bonus was disabled days ago.  I will look at the block you mined to see when it was mined.

For the 10 conformations, it broke the pool payout is why it was removed.  If I can get it figured out again, I will re-enabled it.

I disabled the 50FTC before this was mined.

No u didnt!!!!  there was over 12 hours between found block and your post!
This was mined in the morning and u posted in evening!
But hey, its your choice to break promises.
I have timestamp of that and a whitness.

Um, look at that post, it wasn't even a reply for you..  What gives man?

Seriously, you are NOW credited.

Well sorry then....
Im waiting for the credits, till now there is nothing.....
If this is true and your are paying, i will delete my post.


Edit:

Ok u paid out!!!
So i will delete my post now....


done!

I'll have to take your word on that, but I'm watching closely.

Added IRC channel.

You disabled it but in a way that seems to insinuate that the rewards would still be paid out at another time, but the actual act of paying them out is suspended.. not the earning of them. Please clarify?

    Join our Freenode IRC channel (ftc.mnlan.net) here

05/1/13

    Stratum now supported! View the getting started section here.

04/30/13

    The payout issue should now be fixed and I manually paid out blocks. The 50 FTC bonuses are paid out as well.

04/29/13

    Bonus payouts are stopped until I verify that payouts are working properly.

04/28/13

    Thanks to a known bug, some blocks are not paid automatically. I will manually process those shares sometime during the day.

04/26/13

    Until further notice, users who solve a block will get a 50 FC bonus.

Bonuses of any kind were stopped.  All the bonuses leading up the the payout issue were paid out.  Perhaps at some point, I may start awarding bonuses for solved blocks.  I'll re-word the news section of the website.

I realise that but the 04/29/13 was not present at the time I joined on 04/29/13! It only showed 04/28/13 and then on the 04/30/13 I noticed the 04/29/13 - hence why I have my doubts. You probably are very honest and added very late on the 29th but it definitely was not there at the time I joined on the 29th. Maybe a time stamp next to any of your future additions might alleviate those doubts.

258.65% profitability.  Geez

25,807   Confirmed!   coolbeaver   2013-04-29 03:13:40 AM   81,649
right after the sukki's block
and no bonus
email to you 3 times already
on the next day
three hours later appears this message
04/29/13

    Bonuses are stopped due to a payout issue.

WTF is this?

I will look into it.  I have recieved 100s of emails in the last few days. 

received bonus, thanks

Pool Efficiency: 92.72%

Killing the blocks! 

Made a few tweaks to the web interface.  Runs faster and smoother now.

great pool, but my rate keeps dropping periodically.   ???

does it pay transaction fees?

it took a lot to pry me off GML, but you did it!   :D

looks like the pool has been dropping this morning. think it may be down now actually

and now the frontend is down :(

i keep dropping too. front end is okay for me though...

This will come and go for the frontend:

http://i44.tinypic.com/2zr2pfs.png

The server was running out of resources and I just doubled the resources.  Hopefully this should help.

Thanks. Stratum disconnects appear to still be happening though

I just restarted the server and changed some settings.  Lets see if that helps.

I just got a couple of stratum disconnects in a short period of time.

What is your general location?  I know some of our users from Europe are getting disconnects.

North America

5.04 AM GMT+4 stratum disconnected again. Was down for 5 minutes.

Losing shares to stratum disco; Loc. N. America.   :-\

I think I was able to resolve the disconnect issues.

Just lost connection few moments ago, on stratum, Ontario Canada..

I still see the ocasional disconnect.  It looks like it's happening way less than before.

Hello guys
I have a question from pool operator that how long it takes to be paid after reaching the payment threshold. I m using this pool for two days and have mined about 18 FTC and i want them in my wallet so kindly do this fast.

You can cash out in the user control panel.

For some reason I'm getting bursts of accepted shares. Like I'll get nothing for 30 seconds then like 4-8 will be accept at the same second.

There's something very wrong, I'm using the stratum proxy and I'm thinking because of all the disconnects it stops submitting shares for a while?   I ended up with less than five feathercoins after mining for well over 24 hours with 1.7Mhash...*sigh*
When I reboot the stratum proxy program and the server is actually up it then tries to submit all the results from the last bajillion hours, all of which are now invalid shares. 

Sadly, I really don't know how the proxy works.  Perhaps someone else knows.

Last night I had to bump up the pool difficulty because it was hammering the database way too hard.  Hence all the disconnects.  It still is under a heavy load, but it's better.  I will change the diff again to try lessen the server load some more.

Since I bumped the pool diff we are hitting the blocks @ good rate.

not pay blok 31,490

Is there soemthing wrong with the diff settings on Port 8080 ?

cgminer shows diff 8.79T  :o

no shares found so far...

edit: on port 8181 it's OK with 60

Looks like a couple blocks were not paid.  I will have the system pay it.

are none of the newer blocks being paid out?  I've noticed from block 31,741 my balance hasn't updated even after 120 confirms.

thanks for the reply

Your account looks to be paying out.

What happened, why these long ass rounds? Did everyone switch to CNC and the diff didn't correct yet? :(

Funny how most of the so called supporters have left the room, WANKERS!
Yup there is only six of us mining at present, but I'm all in for the long run - you best not let us down nite :-\

"Long run" lol - Local Pool: 0 MH/s Workers: 0

also latest news notification on the pool page:
Pool is shutting down due to lack of interest. Please withdrawal coins.

i wonder if we get the last round's payouts. I have a 4.5 payout estimate stuck. I know its not much but still.

Same, just noticed it's shutting down, says to withdraw the coins, but when I go to it tells me I have none?

This is why I don't want to start mining in 1000 pools and have scraps everywhere... sadly, I probably will lose a lot of coins in total as I've had to dick around on pools where they either are shonky sysops or problems that make the pool close, or like this where it goes down, but can't let me withdraw.

What really craps me off is checking the balances of some people I gifted coins to when it was all going well, I see they made something like 5 times what I have in total, and have cashed them all out and have 0 balance.

ffs, makes you wonder... burning my gpu for them to go buy ltc or something..

I ran a process that paid out all balances equal to or greater than .1.  Naturally, you would need a valid wallet address in the system.

Indeed you will.  Just went through and hand paid the last of the shares.  Pool is closed.
