Title: Grandcoin pools are scamming?
Post by: momchilandonov on December 15, 2013, 01:44:03 PM
I've mined on all GND (grandcoin) pools I could find...
They are
http://gdc.nordicminers.eu/index.php
http://grand.cryptcoins.net/accountdetails
https://www.miningpool.co/dashboard/

and I think 1 or 2 more which closed for some reason and I don't recall their sites.
I am 99% something is not right with either the coin or the pools themselves.
I am rewarded around 10 times lower the amount I really should.
I have a single HD5870 with 400 khash/s mining nonstop with no HW errors using cgminer and low amount of rejects.
When the difficulty was lower around 1-1.6 I had to get around 8000-10000 coins per 24 hours which equals to around 333-416 coins per hour.
YET I only get around ~30 and at best around 60 coins per hour.
I don't have ANY problems mining Worldcoin (WDC) just for comparison.

Same for me ........... something doesn't add up with either the coin or the pools.

Receiving approx. 1/10 of the estimated on a 5 Mh/s setup on all the pools listed.

Same here, P2pool is no better.

GDC.DEDICATEDPOOL.COM just opened, i'm curious if it is any better.

I started solo mining a couple of hours ago.   We'll see how that works.   Let me know if you find a good pool ...

:)

I am currently testing gdc.dedicatedpool.com and here is what they say:
UPDATE: It has been deemed that there is a serious bug with the grandcoin wallet daemon, that rejects solved blocks. This affects all pools - it is why shares to solve are much higher than estimated.

BTW the difficulty even there is varrying.
Will post results soon here.

Well for 20 minutes mining in http://gdc.dedicatedpool.com/ I received 8.66 GDC but with calculations using coinwarz calculator I am supposed to get around 56 GDC per hour at 400 khash/s so the bug is still happening and the pools won't benefit that much - otherwise nobody would use them for more than 2-3 days and will complain about it. I purchased around 1000 GDC at 0.00000500 BTC each and I hope they get back to around 0.00000900 or some per BTC price :D.
Elephant coin is also bugged or the pool http://elp.botpool.net/ is cheating because according to it I should be getting around 560 ELP per 24 hours yet for 20 minutes I only get 2 ELP which is around 24x6 = 144 ELP per 24 hours. 144/560 = 0.25 which is only 25 percents reward instead of 98% after tax for the pool. I can accept 5-10% but stealing 73% ???

Have the same problem. Check this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255629.220

There is a bug in the software. Hopefully they fix it FAST.

stay away from grandcoin for the time being, there difficulty level is off, you wont receive anywhere near what it says on the mining calculators.
