Title: Pool Variance - Fast-Pool.com Dogecoin - Getting ripped off?
Post by: mrkubanftw on March 18, 2014, 10:08:54 PM
What type of Pool Variance does anyone see with this pool? At this point i'm pretty sure i'm being ripped off. This pool has around 15% of the network hash rate. It should have relatively consistent pay outs no? Well it doesn't. FAR from it.

I average around 1,100 Khs with my miner, on occasion a third party joins my workers and we score around 1,700 Khs combined.

If you use the basic calculator ------>   http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/dogecoin-mining-calculator/?h=1100&p=500.00&pc=0.14&pf=0.00&d=1025.04600521&r=250000.00000000&er=0.00000125&btcer=620.00000000&hc=0.00

My lowest constant hash rate should get me around 5,400 at a diff of 1,025. I watch the Diff very closely and it usually tops out around 1,300 and drops as low as 900 in the past two weeks.

The most i have received in one day is around 2,000. MAYBE 2,000. I understand pools have a variance of payouts based on network hash and total chance... but i mined Litecoin for sometime and my payouts with wemineltc.com were very consistent. VERY consistent.

In essence, is this normal? I would say no.

Also one thing of note, ill watch the round shares climb all the way up to 650% at times. More often than not, it climbs to 250% consistently... This cant be normal. I would be fine with this is my round payout were the same.. but its not. I can't reasonably wait 6X (around 6 hours of dead mining).

I considered joining the largest pool. Doghouse i believe. But i registered with the pool and never got an email to verify registration. So i'm stuck getting robbed.


So is this just a shitty pool? OR are they robbing people? All of the dogecoin pools seem so shady as they all use the same layout. Anyone have a recommendation?
