Hi !

I'm glad to announce a new BBQ Pool with PPLNS payout.

Its currently under heavy work, it's based on tailfeather.cc 's codebase so it should be rock solid and produce very les stales.

There is currently no fee.

I'm working on the texts of the site, don't worry if there is Litecoin mentioned instead of BBQCoin somewhere, you're fine.

Use cgminer/reaper/yourclient at de1.bigbbq.cc:8446 with LP

http://bigbbq.cc

Have fun !

Great work mate! :)

logging in simply refreshes the login page for me. no error message, no login taking place. :(

try https://bigbbq.cc or https://www.bigbbq.cc had that with cookies also one time.. it helps when you delete them.

Anyone else got the same prob ?


Oh.. We just found our first block :))

thanks, working now! best stale rate so far, due to location... jetzt geht's um die wurst!

Lets mine now while is in low diff!

only works with 1 miner.. the rest don't get any shares it's weird.

?? never heard of that.. Did you create a new worker for every machine ?

whats the error you get ? 403 unauthorized ?

it didn't give an error just shows Shares 0:0 for a good 5 minutes.

Seems to be working now :) Too bad my wallet won't sync for some reason.

OK .. Strange..

Hmm.. My wallet also shows 0 connections at the moment.. wtf ? Worked before...

Nice, thanks.

mining here, all ok!
by the way where i can see what next BQC difficulty will be ?

Why not, I'll throw some hashes towards you, thanks!

I'm also looking for a source for the next difficulty to include it into the pool...

Anyone else having trouble mining on this pool currently?

I can't connect :\

Confirmed, I also can't connect to this pool currently.

Can't connect.

lets have some bbq, cant connect also, other pools r down too i think

There's working p2pools up (including mine). 

Should be fine again, sorry guys !

got my first 5 bbq payment overnight (i set my minimum for 5 bbq), up at 2.5 bbq again, so it's going great!

Seems to be down again, anyone else having problems?

nope, still mining.. :)

Mining again, tons of stales though.

Edit: stales have settled down.

Currently got a botnet in the pool..

Banning the user and trying to get the ip's banned too ...

Very nice!  I think you're the only pool operator I've come across that will actually do something about botnets.  I wish more pool operators would take a stand against them.

Well, most pool ops "earn money" with botnets, so they probably also support them..

Should be better now, most IP's are blocked at the core router already.

My provider is getting less and less amused though...  :(

Something is definitely off with this pool.  I'm not earning anywhere near what I should be.  I'm not talking about actual payouts either.  I know you have to wait for however many confirmations it is to get paid.  It's the earnings per round and the total earnings that is far below what it should be.  I just left my miners running for the past 8 hours and didn't earn hardly anything.

You probably did not understand the payout scheme, its PPLNS..
I've explained it a thousand times, but here again:
http://pool-x.eu/aboutpplns
There is no other way to stop pool hopping reliably.

You'll get paid even if you stop mining... You should probably have noticed that already.

You can also view your estimated, already paid out and unconfirmed payouts so everything is fully transparent.

What the hell is happening? more them half day mining and i have only 0.034922ish BBQ with almost 1.2MH/s ? WTF?  diff is max 5-6Ish t1.0.3ops, WTF? cgminer 3.1.0 win 7 X64 with 2 HD7950 XFX with almost 1.2Mh/s
Something is wrong? what is?
EDIT -> Also, what is Botnets? didn't find anywhere that explains. Also would like to know, how much BBQs can i get  a day with 1.2Mh/s to 1.2MH/s between this value...
cause when diff whas .50 i got about 800 in 10 hours, now almost nothing.

I understand PPLNS very well, PPLNS pools are all I use for LTC, FTC, and CNC mining.

1. When I login to my account, it shows I have 0 unpaid shares, therefore I have been paid for all my shares.
2. So I'm not going to receive anything more than what I've already been paid, or what shows in my account balance.  
3. I have a little over 7.09 BQC in my balance, and have received one payout of about 10.05 BQC for a total of a little over 17 BQC.
4. I mined at about 1.85Mh/s for 7 hours.

Now, explain to me how I only earned 17 BQC for mining @ 1.85Mh/s for 7 hours.  Given the low network difficulty, it should have been many times this amount.  You can't blame it on bad pool luck either because we've had plenty of shares per block over this time period.  What am I missing?

Edit: Even at the current difficulty (4.71), which is higher now than it was when I was mining, I would earn about 96 coins at that hash rate.

Exacly what just happened to mee too, see msg above!

good pool. i take my mining bbq .

Sorry for reviving this topic, but as I don't have a choice (only pool that I found that was alive) and I have been running at 100 khash consistently according to cgminer + 24 khash CPU. And yet here is what it comes for the summary

What's wrong with this? Anyone recommend another pool?

Here is a pool that appears to be up. http://bbq.ltcoin.net/

-.- the pool doesn't payout that's why I switched to this pool :(

I'm sorry guys I had a misconfiguration in the lastNshares of the pool since it was abandoned for long time without any users/miners.

This means you would reach full payout after aproximately 25 days which is far too long, I've reset lastNshares to about 1,5 - 2 days after which you should reach full payout.

Payout always worked but was delayed because of the lastNshares.

Post here if you still have any trouble.

Pool was restarted, I'm a bit overwhelmed with the current increase of users, hash rate went from roughly 1 kH/s to about 35 kH/s in a matter of 12 hours or so, the current server was/is on its limit.

I've switched some services so its getting much better, everything should be fine in a few hours when things have finished catching up.

Sure, you can send me some tips at:

But simply bump up BQC donations a bit, and everything will be fine.

Its nice to see that BQC is finally gaining some interested, been in it since the early days :))

Please note that signups for the pool are now closed, the pool can be used as usual if you are already a member.

The new codebase is now at www.bbqpool.net , you should register there and start mining there as the new codebase has Stratum and Vardiff support, is much faster and more transparent than the old one.
