Bitcoin Forum

I figured I would make a topic to discuss this pool, voice concerns, problems, etc.

http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/

It should be simple enough to use.

Fee: 0% - This pool is donation driven.


I have received alot on questions about how to mine on the pool using cgminer. See miner code below for one of my workers.


Now with 100% More stratum!!

Official Forum Page: http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=99.0

wrong link

I swear I can spell and code and stuff. (It is fixed)

Server has been rebooted. It should have even less rejects than before now.

i get a lot of server connection problems in between shares.
and a ton of stales!

What errors are you getting? Were they all within the last 15 mins of your post?

How many rejects/stales/valid are you getting?

Pool is working flawless for me, love it!

cgminer.exe -o http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:8341 -u ccplz.ccplz -p <your Password> --scrypt

Obviously you should throw additional commands to optimize your mining, but that should get you going. If you have problems still, send me a pm with he exact command you are using.

Thanks buddy it's fixed now,good luck with the pool!

Hi,

I think potentially I need some understanding help here. I set my rig to mining for 8-10 hours today at around 330kh/s, I've come back to around 20 FC.

Based on the pool stats I should earn 90 in 24 hours. And as an estimate 35-40 in 8-10 hours, I am confused to of come home to around 20.

My stats board reads:
Paid Shares
Your Valid: 17251
Invalid: 2802

At the time of posting the estimate per payout is:
Estimated Per Payout
0.058793 FC


How can I equivocate the 17251 valid shares to the coins I should be earning as the earnings atm are not making sense to me and if there is something I am missing or doing wrong I need to understand this.

Kind regards,

Lewis

I imagine what you are seeing is a result of the PPLNS system. Is your amount based on a single day, or multiple days? Because the difficulty did just go up.

It is based on today from 8am ish UK time to 6pm ish UK/GMT time.

Edit:

OK I've read a bit about PPLNS and I get a bit more of the long haul piece now, basically I need to keep up the mining for a longer period to see better pay outs and the more rounds then the better the pay outs.

So based on the 12 diff if I left things mining for 24 hours would I actually see the 98 (or approx and allowing for diff increases) that I'd get soloing...or I think it'd be 2 days to find a block on Solo on my current set up.

Average time to find a block @330kh/s: 2 day(s), 3 hour(s), 35 min, 50 sec

Mining in a pool allows for you to spread that payment out over many, smaller transactions to 'more guarentee' a steady payment. If you mine for a few minutes at a tiem, a PPLNS pool is not good for you. If you mine 12 on/12 off, you should be good. 24/7 would be best

i've been getting bad connection ever since i started mining here. I moved everything back to LTC for time being.
I get good streaks and it'll mine awesome then it'll go non stop stales and then i'll get weird response from server, etc. When i posted this is when i just couldn't connect at all and when it did for a second or 2 it would be stales.

I'm running reaper and my configs are good as i use them for LTC.

now i'm getting a few shares but still getting "weird response" or "server down" in between.


EDIT: Now i'm back to stales too

Mind sending your specs, mining program, and command you are mining with? you are at 4.5% stales. That seems rather high.

I have to many stales shares.

http://www.dodaj.rs/f/39/H9/4uoSoR52/stales.jpg


 >:( >:( ???

i get loads of prevhash-stale and prevhash-wrong, then it works perfectly for a while, then those again for a long time

Currently im standing at over 2000 stales and 108 shares.

 Running a 6950 with reaper. Using exact same config as I do with ltc. All I do is change host and port in conf file. I only have 1 card pointing at ftc I have my other 6 on ltc. When I switch that card back to ltc it runs with less than 1% stales

EDit: restarted reaper got about a solid 150 shares and then all the rest turned to stales.

I am going to end up increasing the difficulty of the pool. mysql/pushpool are being hammered at this rate. I will need to think for a little bit on how to alter the previous shares in order to keep the system working.

Later tonight I will reset the pool difficulty to either 15 or higher. All that means is less shares per round will be found, but payouts, etc will stay the same. We should see much less rejects and stales with this.

(also, try --queue 0 for those with cgminer, it helps some atm)

Your pool is showing 1Mh/s slower then what I'm sending after a few hours.. reaper is showing 35% stale.

Hope you can fix it as too much power is being wasted on basically nothing.

let me know how it is doing now. I just increased filehandles, and increased difficulty. I haven't got a single reject in the past 5 mins.

It should increase in performance as well as the unconfined blocks confirms as well. That outta remove a half million SQL entries or so.

I have 87% stale on reaper.. going to restart and let you know the result.

Edit: Seems to be about 3+ and rising.. Was hoping to keep it below 2% like give-me-ltc

does lowering aggression level help that at all? Or is it still stale?

Are the stales next to each other or spread out?

Can you log your reaper output and post the log?

*edit* upped the diff to 31. see if that helps.

Greatly reduced stalerates! Good work :) 1000/40

I guess 0.5% will have to do for now. I am really trying to wrap my head around stratum, which should reduce it even further. Just little motivation for it now that it is working well again.

working correctly on my side are earning estimate correct ?

I believe they are correct as they can be.

thanks alot added 1650 kh/s your way

I think i'm getting only half the coins on this pool... :(

Can you guys check if i calculate it correctly?

Pool sais i have 53.333 valid paid shares.
I have received about 215.5 feathercoin for these shares.
If i then look at the difficulty graph in block stats i see that the mean shares per block is about 25.000.
So according to this info i should have received more than 400 feathercoin on current difficulty. So it should have been more since most of these shares were mined a few days ago. It is as if the blocks are only counted for 100FC instead of 200FC.

So, whats going on?

Last confirm got me 0.37412694
i had 429 shares in that round

round total share was 37,920

0.000872091 per share x 37,920 = 33.069 FC

are my calculations wrong ?

Stales are 7-10% now with my miners... It's not an issue on my end as I get 1-2% stales with give-me-ltc

A few recent blocks over the night didnt payout. I am looking into it. So many transactions happening that I needed to look further than 500 every 2 minutes to catch everything.

*edit*
and you cannot calculate the amount you will get from a block directly from shares/total shares*200. PPLNS comes into play to adjust that number.

As for stales: Seems we have doubled in size in the past 12 hours. Time to up the pool difficulty again I see.

seems like the hashrate of everyone has doubled

edit : back to normal :)

That was the new difficulty kicking back in with new hash algorithms.

Pool is now up to 63 difficulty.

Will process payments on unpaid shares within a few hours.

All unpaid blocks have been paid. Check transaction log to see.

BlockStats graph is now working with correct difficulty, shares, etc.

few questions

1. why is it that my displayed hash rate is about 1/3 of what is displayed by my miner, i know that the site is an estimate but normally on other sites it is within about 20kh/s.  but i'm displaying 42kh/s yet my miner is showing 140-160kh/s

2. what is a normal invalid share % i'm sitting at about 15% of all shares are invalid

thanks

You might need to give it a few minutes to get the hash rate up.

As far as invalids go, I am seeing very low to none.

been running straight for 2 days... no real change in hash rate

Paid Shares
Your Valid: 2447
Invalid: 165

are those invalids recent, or older?

only been part of the pool for 2 days so none older than that =)

Yesterday some changes were made to help reduce rejects and stales. If most of your invalids are from before that time, it shouldn't be a problem anymore, if they are steadily growing, there is something going on.

As far as individual hashrates, they might not be 100% accurate, but they are close enough for the amount of CPU I am saving on the calculations. The pools hashrate is much more correct.

k sounds good i'm just making sure that my hash is getting to you correctly... i don't really care it it shows ocorrect lol... i'll moniter the invalids for 24h and report back

Hash is just a feel good statistic. What really matters are the shares.

dono after an hour here are my stats

Your Valid: 2479
Invalid: 176

so that is 25% lost this hour

what would be causing this?

what miner are you using? Lower expiration time and queue length.

using CGminer,  i'll give that a shot and report back... BTW

Your Valid: 2573
Invalid: 188

If it wasn't already ixed, it should be now.

payouts doesnt seem to work, getting this error

Fatal error: Uncaught BitcoinClientException:

• : Didn't receive 200 OK from remote server. (HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error) thrown in on line 0

Double check your FC address ;O

Hi, I'm mining in your pool and I have noticed pair of things that could be eventually improved (however, only my suggestions)
- in "Getting started" page correct the point 3.URL, there is ".com" omitted at the end, could confuse someone with guiminer for example
- in "News" tab there are three strange submenus that are not working
- is it possible to add somewhere the hashrate of whole FC network?
- hashrate graph in user stats says update every 60s, but does not look like this is working, for me more like every 1h, the same for pool graph
- yesterday I saw in dashboard panel in "current round shares" a negative value, maybe some problem with integer interpretation

1. Fixed
2. News, what News ;o  (removed)
3. I might look at adding it in again, having a hardtime getting it to be correct though.
4. Userstats is not top priority at the moment, it gets the jist across.
5. When my update script is running, it throws weird numbers out for a minute. No real fix short of more money or a complete rewrite.

haha well thats embarrassing, I typed in my LTC address >.<

ya it's looking good now thanks =)

Can u give me some of your config? I use a same config with LTC/NVC but with this pool i got so much rejected prevhash-stale  ( about 35 - 50%). I sure about with my connection cuz with the same config it's still good about LTC and NVC ( 2 - 3 % ) . Don't know why .....

I don't get why these standard PPLNS pools always consistently pay out less than what's supposed to be payed out. It takes ages to get to a proper payout (lots of <0.2 FC payouts), and then when you stop, the payout stops in about 5 blocks lol.

It said 470 coins a day, but I have so far only got just about 400 when I stopped after 26+ hours of mining.

P2pool seems to pay out more properly.

it's a pool problem from what i can tell cause i also use the same settings when i'm on litecoin every 3rd day i point my cards at feather and i get a high reject, on litecoin i've never had even 1 

i' ve given up trying to figure it out as i'm still getting a lot of coins =)

only thing I can tell you to check is that queue and expiry are set correctly. On top of that, wait until I find time to debug my stratum install and find what is wrong with it :)

Hey :)

First of all, thanks for your pool, it's the best!

Secondly, some suggestions:
- in "Getting Started", the URL is missing the .com (URL: http://feathercoin.is-a-geek/)
- update your favicon to the new one

edit: yeah, and btw the frontend is down right now...
edit2: mining also :(

Talking with my hosting provider. Something went wrong over there. Hopefully just an IP routing problem.

Yep, nothing works anymore.

like i said i'm not to worried about it now if FTC was worth $2-$10 i may be a little po'd but i think it is 10 cents right now so no biggie

Any updates?

still, I am pissed I cannot get stratum working properly with this pool, or a few other test pools I have thrown together. It has to be the simplest of things I am messing up as well.

Back up

W00t! Ty :)

so long as you don't think i'm complaining about it.  I am actually quite happy with this pool

Hello,
 
  Just wanted to say thank you for keeping this pool going. I have been enjoying it for the last few days, BUT I would like to ask, is it possible to get the diff dropped down some. ATM it is at like 255 and it is killing any chance of any of my slower miners getting any work turned in ( I have had to point them back to a LTC stat/vardiff pool just to have them doing something).


 Thanks again

I am still trying to get stratum mining working. Once that is up, I should be able to lower difficulty or even offer vardiff.

You technically should receive the same amount whatever the diff, it will just be a little less even on your payouts.

Now with 100% More stratum!!


VARDIFF isn't implemented yet, but stratum is.

stratum+tcp://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:3333

stratum+tcp://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:3333 ;)

Thanks. I am operating on about 3 hours of sleep over the past 2 days.

Thanks for everything you're doing for us!!!

Btw the stratum is working good for now ;)

YAY i'll be pointing my rig at it tonight at midnight =)

Is the autopay not working?

I'm having the same problem...

With Stratum, i'm getting 0.2% of rejected!!! :D its was 5-10% using LP...

I don't know if it's just an issue for me, but I'm mining and haven't been paid in about 6 hours now. Not only that, but on the block stats page, there hasn't been a new block in hours, and they're all stuck at the same number of confirmations they were at hours ago. The pool is however still reporting and updating my khash. I've never seen a pool do this before, I also hope it's superficial. My miners are chugging along like everything is perfect though, so i don't really know what to think..

everything looks fine on the pool stats pace to me.  i think your system is just showing you an old page.  you should do a restart

 I would agree, anything looks OK here.



  Thank you so much for getting stratum up and running, like everyone would say rejects are way down... I think I have had one..
 
 on a side note I have found my first block..28,851 :)

6sbzxQfPeJJjzpDi56bD6tcUvZTEUaprjp

where do you see if you've found a block?

As has been said - thank you so much for adding Stratum.  My rejected count is down a huge amount.  Great pool!

YAY BTC-E = FTC FRIENDLY.  FTC you've gained a powerful ally today

Hello,
   Menu->stats->block stats

from the top of the site menu

Is anyone else not able to get autopay to work? I am unable to reproduce that on my end.?

sry i ment a running total or something i only check the site like once a day so easy to miss as there is normally only 8hours of blocks there

working for me

Are the rewards ok on this pool? Just moved from one that payed like 1/4 of what it should?

Thanks for setting up stratum!! That made my khash rate go up by like 800kh/s. I'm assuming it's because of FTC getting on btc-e and everybody switching over to mine it from LTC, so before I was getting a lot of stales.

Btw, autopayouts work great for me.

My auto payout doesn't seem to be working, but I just started on the pool, so maybe my account balance hasn't been above the threshold long enough?

How frequently do the auto payouts happen?

Autopay was working fine for me up till a couple hours ago.  Since then it hasn't processed anything, I even modified my threshold a few times to see if that would trigger it (both above and below the account balance).  I did however test the manual payout and that went through fine.

Gonna throw my hat in there and say that Im having auto pay issues atm aswell.

So far so good, infact over all this pool has been working better than expected

I would agree, it's been great so far.  I just double checked my 24 hour payout totals and its spot on for what I'd expect based on my average hash rates.  The auto-pay issue is only an annoyance and being that the manual payout still functions I'm not bothered.  The pool in all other respects has been stable and top notch.

Thumbs up to thep33t for his work.

looks like the latest version of feathercoin broke a RPC call. time to find out what :)

been looking great to me, bout 2 hours b4 you start receiving but fantastic payout once it does


Auto pay working here

Just pointed my 6MH here at 2.5 hours ago and my account balance is only 0.37 FTC?!  Whats the deal?

Wait a little longer and you will see payouts. 120 Confirms takes a few hours. And since I am charging a whopping 0%, I will not take the risk of paying out less than 120 confirms.

You should have ~1FC+/block once you have been mining enough for PPLNS to work in your benefit, which should be around 2 hours.

This pool is the only pool I've mined on since I started mining FTC last week or so ago. However, I am starting to see a rediculous amount of Rejected shares. Anyone else?

are you using stratum?

Doesn CG Miner auto switch to stratum?

cgminer port 8341. It seems to be using Longpolling

switch to stratum.

-o stratum+tcp://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:3333


see if that helps resolve all but ~0.2% of your rejects and stales

Odd, I just restarted mine to check and it auto switched to stratum.

this is giving me HW errors and no shares rejected or accepted. cgminer 3.1.0


A:1 R:0 HW:23 U:0.1/m WU: 467.3/m ST:2 SS:0 NB:9 LW:61 GF:0 RF:0

Connected to feathercoin.is-a-geek.com diff 255 with sratum as user...


What gives?

 Are you running scrypt?

lol, yes. I am fairly new to mining (6 months) but I'm not that new. I switched back to long-polling on all my rigs cause the stratum wasn't working but I would like to resolve that here if possible.

Stratum working fine for me and rejects are noticeably lower than on getwork.

However, autopayout doesn't seem to be working. How often does it check if it's above threshold?

Cheers.

all my miners are getting more HW errors than accepted shares. this wasn't happening yesterday and these are not rigs located in the same locations so its highly improbably that its on my end.

Yep, Im experiencing weird things now even on stratum.  Its showing prevhash stale rejects.  Although when i switch back to LTC, it mines with no errors or rejected.

OMG  hashrate just doubled!! ???

WTF? going on?

increased difficulty :)

give me ltc went down + btc-e launch.

What i would like to know is why auto payouts stopped working :(

they are working, just only 1-2 a minute, i am still looking into it, manual works out

What's better? Stratum or not?

Webpage is down and pool is also unresponsive. Luckily, my miners switched over to a LTC based pool until this one comes back up. Help!

for me too pool is down

yep pool down.

me 2

website back up, pool still down.

both back

At 511 DIF some of my cards don't have time to complete a share in between blocks. :) VARDIFF ftw.

working on that...

luckily, with PPLNS, if you miss a block, it doesnt hurt you, because it takes previous shares into account.

Getting almost double rejects in the last couple of hours, and diff is too high, what is the need to do that? the pool was running great

Forgive my newbness in that regard, then. Thanks.


Hmm I'm getting zero.

the need was the server was not designed to get 100+ shares/minute from most miners, with hundreds of miners. Increasng diff reduces number of shares, and therefore reduces stress on the server. and with PPLNS in place, it doesnt really impact the overall functionality of the pool

i'm behind you man i'd rather the diff go up cause it's better than the server going down.  That's the kind of thing that happens when the pool triples in hash within the last 12 hours

exactly. I think ~.2% stales/rejects and less 'feel good' shares is better than 10% stales/rejects, IMHO.

testing....


¤¿¤

i'll take 10% over a down server to =)

What's the timing on the auto-payout? I had it set to auto-payout after it reaches 25FTC but it sat for a good couple of hours not ever paying out to my address. Finally paid out 47FTC manually to myself. Most pools do auto-payments hourly. Is your pool set to a longer time frame than this??

i've been noticing payout problems with the entire FC network but that's lack of confirmations.  as for this pool it's normally every hour

Manual payout was a bit slow but it finally came through and got confirmed quickly. The auto-payout isn't working on an hourly basis for me for sure. That's why I inquired. (:

ya i've been noticing a few ppl mentioning that, this pool is a great pool but from what i can tell it is a 1 man operation and he is working on var diff right now.  i think the big problem is for every one person that its not working for there is 2 that it is so it makes the problem hard to track... he is very good so rest assured it will get sorted

Let me know if it is better now. I tweaked a few things.

I had the auto payout set to 25 as well and just made myself a 65 FTC manual payout a few minutes ago. :O

Great pool! Thanks for all your work!

I too am having the no auto payout issue - had to manually cash out 250 coins but that worked fine.

Fwiw, I tried to set the auto payout threshold again but it seems to populate the the amount box with my username.  :-\

I ran this for 2 hours and got ~ 15 shares at 390MH/s. That's cant be right?

seriously, if your going to set this up on your server in the corner of your bedroom on a dailup connection, then please dont bother wasting our time

This pool has some serious issues.

Looks like we are struggling. Confirms are not coming in properly so payouts are being missed and we seem to be slowing down on the blocks finds.

Dont wanna move all my miners but loosing confirms at ~16MH/s is costly!

Any solution on the horizon? Up the Diff?

Is there still an issue with auto payout?
It's still not working for me.
Thanks

I doubt you have 390MH/s on scrypt, make sure you are mining with correct hash algorithm.



go elsewhere than, please. I do not need idiots like you around. My pool has doubled, twice in a day, it therefore, needs a few tweaks.

NutNut: It will/is being fixed :)

I have it only check previous 750 transactions for confirms. But 120 blocks back is more like 2k transactions with a pool this size.

yes, still an issue. Trying to track it down. I think it is due to garbage in the payout addresses of a few people. It pays out, some people, just not others.


If you are having payout problems, please post or PM me your usename, I want to try and get to the bottom of that today

Auto pay out has not been working for me either.

I've been doing immediate payouts (with no issues).

Edit: THat's funny :)  5 mins after posting this the first auto-payout worked. Did you fix it then?

Thank you for looking after it. Username is brdon.
I kept changing the threshold to see if it would reset on the server but I guess that didn't.

Autopayment working. As I suspected, people entered all sorts of weird things into the payout field. It might break again temporarily in a bit until I get around to clear it out completely, but It ran through great 3 times in a row now.

It started working for me a couple of hours ago.

troll else ware this pool is getting slapped around with all the bandwagon jumpers and yet it is still online.  just a testament of the power of this pool and it's owner GFYS

Yes, this pool is still new so faults are still acceptable.  I think that the pool once stable will end up being one of the larger pools.

Any new pool/site will experience the occasional hiccup. I joined this pool at 500Khs yesterday and its now 4x that. Trying to sort teething issues with a bunch of megahashers is like firefighting with a hose full of petrol! Give the guy a break and STFU.

Donation of 2.5% enabled from me.

I noted that on your pool even if auto-payouts enabled (not manual) still 0.1 TRC transaction fee is applied. Is it normal?

I have a request, can you please add a 24 hour earnings onto the side bar?

ATTENTION

Is the pool hashrate 2000??

If yes you must reduce it Total is app. 5000?

Is there a danger for a 51% Attack?


If thi is the case I advise people to remove some of their machines.

I will!

Please excuse my ignorance but isn't the 51% worry only if there is malicious intent? I'm a little unclear on this.

Said another way, don't you have to actually want to cause an attack if you have over 51% to cause problems? And if you aren't trying to cause damage, than it isn't a problem?

i have ~4% tale


i read and still unclear what is 51% attack

Is there any index to see how many ftc I got per round? The summary on the left is a liltle bit to less for me ....

look at the transactions tab.


Total network hashrate at the moment is over 5.5GH/s. Not close to 50% if it creeps up more, i will turn off signups.

it does require malicious intent, and it would tank FTC. That being said, I have none, but it is in the coins best interest to keep any 1 player, or pool, under 51% for safety.

oh, thank you very much. Sorry for not looking more closly, I thought this would be the payments to my wallet. My mistake :D

it is both

Happy 2 G/HASH everyone

I'm a little bit confused:

It seems to me I get waayyy too less FTC for my mining rate. I have around 1100 kh/s with quite low slate rate and only got ~ 0.2 FTC for 1 hour mining (of course those blocks in this measured hour are all confirmed) .... ?

Did I miss something?

give it a few hours to see if you get what you think you should.

give it a few hours payouts are 2-3 hours behind work from what i've seen

Auto payout is all working fine. Thanks :)

Liking the idea of a 24hour earnings stat.  :)

And a "donator" logo on the users.

Oooo.. looks like we had a performance boost too? :D

thep33t
You didn't answered my question or didn't mentioned, that you're stealing money from users?
I'll repeat "I noted that on your pool even if auto-payouts enabled (not manual) still 0.1 FTC transaction fee is applied. Is it normal?"
So I consider that it's kind of pool fee or what??
0.1 FTC form every auto-payment is deleted form user accounts! Not for manual or "on-demand", where it is noted on user's account page, FORM EVERY AUTO TRANSACTION
Explaint it pls, pool's administrator

unless your point is to ban from your pool single GPU users (even 7950 ones) or rape them, diff 511 is beyond absurd...

TRC???? Wrong pool mate. This is an FTC pool.

Also, where are you seeing this transaction fee on an auto payout? I see no fee at all.

 

Yes FTC, it was misspelling, I calculated this transaction fee from my payouts, and yes, it is nowhere mentioned about this (hided?) fee for auto payouts, just for manual payouts.

Can you show evidence? If so, simply reduce your donation by 0.1% and you'll be quids in.

Edit: Looks like your right. Had 13.04 in my account balance and only got 12.94 in my wallet. Simple solution, i'll drop my donation down and up my auto payout threshhold. Sorted.

thep33t - perhaps you should let users know about the charges?

same for me .1 FTC charge but i've never really cared as that is how my LTC pool and my BTC pool are to well .001 for my BTC but still

Ack that sucks to hear.  Had a low auto threshold payment of 2.5 so that's a lot of transaction frees :(

Not that I'm bitter. I realize setting up a pool isn't the simplest thing to do in the world.. .

And thanks thep33t for your response on my 51% post.

Evidance is simply math, ok here it is, data from my transaction history page:

As you can see, total amount between transactions equals 5.00047498 and payout is 4.90047498

chain re target in about 20 min guys..... this is gonna suck

I don't mind it, everybody needs to eat and pay for server etc, but it's unfare to hide this information from users, you could just set a transparent fee...

You mean difficulty change? Where one can find this information?

I believe that 0.1 FTC fee is the transaction fee of the network itself, but I do agree, it should be noted somewhere, so people don't set low auto payouts, not knowing they are going to be losing some coins that way.

i think it may have just been forgotten new pool and all

as for retarget info

http://benhohner.com/feathercoin/statistics.php

est 1 min

Whew just about doubling. Rough ! 

This is not true. FeatherPool doesn't deduct this 0.1 FTC fee, regardless of how small or large the payout is.

So... Whilst we all agree that we should have been notified about it, what are we gonna do about it? The way i see it, we have 2 options regarding the transaction fees...

1. Stomp off and find another pool

or

2. reduce your donation (you are donating aren't you?)

set your payouts to 25FTC and your pool fees wouldwork out to less than half a percent.

I did not know it did not mention that, I will add It.

I am not making money on that, btw. It is a fee passed on to the send.

 ie:

    {
        "account" : "",
        "address" : "6h1PRR6VvgiJ5w182dzhpEoCs3cwQxch67",
        "category" : "send",
        "amount" : -0.95966599,
        "fee" : -0.10000000,
        "confirmations" : 1,
        "blockhash" : "8ca38198fa07d77001bd3a51f447fe80349644de0d5a514c1c6499c284de7010",
        "blockindex" : 63,
        "txid" : "69192eeb3f20471561a0446f0d9ad16effa6a95681210916ffdd74f9131067d4",
        "time" : 1367608574
    },

So I am not stealing, lying, etc. but thanks for the accusations.

I should charge more, because some are .2 fee, like the following.

    {
        "account" : "",
        "address" : "6fao2Jnok28YfBZo5kWwdMC2qEtBMQhAXq",
        "category" : "send",
        "amount" : -0.00648339,
        "fee" : -0.20000000,
        "confirmations" : 1,
        "blockhash" : "8ca38198fa07d77001bd3a51f447fe80349644de0d5a514c1c6499c284de7010",
        "blockindex" : 54,
        "txid" : "9becfb9b01b6e9fa33150f076b125a4a003382071133636e4ab9b2f23e9fa916",
        "time" : 1367608573
    },


I lose money on that, and since you, z0rr0, are donating 0%, you are making money off of me. So I would shutup before I ban you for wasting my time.

Yeah, maybe you should try doing more than copying the existing pool base without looking at basic functionality. Are you paying out block fee rewards?  ::) The website is barely functional, let alone the pool.  Of course, that's status quo with every FC pool...

Thank you for your input. Please explain how the website is barely functional?

And remember, cookie-cutter design is still functional. Is there an aspect that is not working for you? If so, let me know.

Named and shamed Z0rr0.

Is it possible to add an idle worker email alert?

what would you guys consider a fair amount of donation?

I put in 2%, which I think is the minimum acceptable, but I will consider upping it soon.

OP, do you collect transaction fees from the blocks or distribute them?

Currently, Block reward is 200, so TX fees are not distributed.

Are we struggling again? My miners have failed over a couple of times and we seem to have lost a few hundred MH/s from the pool rate?

thep33t you should consider setting the donation % to a 2% default at registration .... the user can change it anyway after

We having some problems again? Pool going of and on

stratum or regular?

Stratum

I'm getting no response from the stratum pool intermitantly, cgminer is then set to use http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:8341 for which after a few minutes stratum starts responding again.

Also I think I'm not getting enough work as my fan speeds go from high to low a lot, typically this occurs when it loses connection to the pool.

This accorded with fc.dontmine.me as well but doesn't happenw hen i mine ltc with givemeltc.

Is there an issuse with ftc pools or something? I switched to this pool as I had the same issue with fc.dontmine.me.

1-3%   safe bet is 2%

Stratum is going slow for me as well. Share submissions are slow if at all.

the diff is set to 511 so that's likely why.  he is working on var diff so give it time

I'm getting both servers not responding as my hashrate drops and this would explain why my fans drop from high to low intermitantly (but somewhat frequent).

I think both servers are lagging? Also its not just feathercoin is a geek, fc.dontmine.me is doing it as well..

Share submissions are not a problem, but a pool that goes on and off is

I've tried Stratum via the mining proxy and cudaminer, but it seems whenever I do that, I never get any shares accepted, and the site says my hashrate is 0 and my worker is not active. So I'm still on getwork.

+1

i am having this too (a report if it helps others):

Pool stats - at 1:21:49

Guiminer(cgminer+console)

380,000 kh/s , Botnet?  ???

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/805/pic1lw.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/805/pic1lw.jpg)

yup its a botnet...

I hope it gets banned, because otherwise it will ruin the fun

 Scratch that, its gone :). And I hope stratum gets fixed, because this way efficiency is like 75%

@ 90% now

i thought getwork was only for btc and it's off shoots?

Pool still keeps going up and down on the stratum side. Idling workers every few moments. Luckily it switches to a LTC pool backup for me, but it still unnecessary downtime.

how do you code the .bat file to switch to a backup?

I use GUIMiner Scrpt and just add the flags to the "extra flags" box to add a second pool. (: Check the GUIMiner Scrypt thread around page 13 or 14 I think to see how. (:

If you're using cgminer, I use config file to add multiple pool and add the command lines "failover-only" : true, "no-pool-disable" : true.

Over the past 3 hours I've been mining here and I'm getting 24.142% efficiency.

I'm outta here.  Back to LTC.

How do you calculate your efficiency?

Yeah, I've been getting like 25 - 50% stales..

is every feathercoin pool failing simultaneously?

That's how it seems.

FTC has been pumped, now it's being dumped on exchanges.

the config files never load for me and i can't figure out why

can anyone tell me why when i click "start mine" after i typed in everyrthing i get error (make sure you have minered and librarys in same directory as feathercoin-ct)?

what system are you on (mac/pc/linux)

Going to end up upgrading the server. Might take a day or so to migrate, but it should be done by the end of the weekend, barring real life getting in the way.

im running windows 7 64 bit

when's it going down?

First you need to save a config file from cgminer. While you are running the program press S then W. It will prompt ya.
Once the config file is saved, modify that.

Not sure, but it shouldn't be for long. I will have the server up at the new location before I migrate the DB/domain. Will know more once I find a better host.

Can anyone help me. I am not using Stratum/Proxy cause I don't know how to set it up with CUDAMiner....

I've tried so many settings, but for the past day/2 days I been getting all these fails + my acceptance rate is like every 2-3 minutes, takes a good while, now I don't know if this is because of a difficulty increase or what, I'll admit, I am nooby.

http://gyazo.com/112d32b381e2146428edf6135addc3bf

Anyway just want to know is it me, or the pools.

I am building an AMD 7950 rig this weekend so hope these problems get solved otherwise I have to go to LTC :\ but I want to stick with FTC

Whilst your searching for a new server, can you disable new registrations?

Loosing shares left right and center due to stratum disconnects. Miners all failing over.... Nooooooo

I saw some other FTC pools had to upgrade their servers as well, is something going on? Cause I tried another pool an hour ago. Ftc.mine.me or whatever, and I got maybe 5 accepted confirmed shares or whatever, and then nothing when I rebooted my miner. What is going on with FTC servers? Im on LTC till this is fixed, fix it quicker.

Lol man, I dont even know what to say)
You're harassing and threatening your user for what? for pointing you at a mistake you didnt even know? You're pathetic.

it's not the pools or FTC it's ppl like you.... infact it thousands of ppl like you jumping from LTC to FTC.  there's so many of you that nothing was prepaired.  give it a few days and you'll be fine

Pool not working and site not opening... DDoS ?

being moved

So....it is the servers, lol I didn't jump from LTC to FTC, FTC is the first coin I invested in and started mining for the past three weeks. But appreciate the gross generalization.

4 out of 5 ppl on the server now are bandwagon jumpers if was a fair guess... getting off cuda would be a start then check your work load i played with mine a bit when i first got here and everything is golden now

yes it's the servers kinda...   here's an example the land mass that is china is to small for the ppl now is that the land masses fault or the people?  Both! =)

also i have a favor to ask can you stop copy/pasting your post here and featherpool i'm sick of reading it twice =)

That's on you lol stop reading it if you've already read it once before ;)

When you say adjust your workload and it fixed your miners, are u using cgminer and what switch did you use if exectuing it via command line or what line in the config file?

Here is what I'm using and workers go idle due to disconnects from the pool or the pool lagging:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:3333 -u blah -p x -o http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:8341 -u blah -p x -o stratum+tcp://fc.dontmine.me:23334 -u blah -p x -o http://fc.dontmine.me:28339 -u blah -p x --intensity 20,18 --thread-concurrency 8192,3200 --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --vectors 1 --temp-target 75 --auto-fan -s 3 --gpu-powertune 20

I'm using a 6950 and 5770.

i've tried loadbalance and failoveronly with it not helping.

it worked when my card was accepting like 2 shares then nothing i had my --worksize at 512 and when i got it down to 128 it started working properly

but this does not fix disconnects. just failed to connects

avoid this pool. 2.7 mhash pointed for 2 days  = 40 coins , instead of around 200

scammers

go away he's not a scammer if you have a problem tell him but i'm paying out correct.

threw about 1mh at this pool, seems to be something wrong.
my mh according to the pool is jumping up and down and ive gotten 4 coins in about 24 hours  ???

your paid for shares not hash rate... how many shared/invailid do you have

824/124 13% stale according to reaper,

says 607/99 on the site

and ive restarted reaper a few times

what's your unpaied?

Paid Shares
Your Valid: 694
Invalid: 107

Unpaid Shares
Your Valid: 154
Pool Valid: 372848

Current Round Shares
Pool Valid: 6397

Estimated Per Payout
0.08136809 FTC

Account Balance
6.8940028799999995 FTC

been at about 24 hours give or take. (700ish kh)

well it is a little low (about the same as mine) keeping in mind that the estimate of 23FTC a day at your hasrate is an estimate, pool luck and shares submitted in between blocks also play a factor

so my best estimate is that you should have about 9-10 coins based on what your stats are saying.  now taking into account that the server was down for a few hours last night (no idea for how long) but it was long enough for me to get 5FTC so prolly about 6 coins for you that would put you at about 15 - 16 coins so your fairly close.... now if your shares arn't making it to the server i dono my miner agrees with the site so it may (or may not) be on your end


here's how i get 15-16 coins:

Your Valid: 694 - 6.8940028799999995
Invalid: 107  - about 1.05 FTC

Unpaid Shares
Your Valid: 154 - about 1.5 FTC

downtime last night - about 6 FTC

total 15.44400288

Short about 7.5 but that is on the estimate of 23FTC per 24h

are you using the old server or the stratum server?

i'm still getting disconnects from stratum, just one a few minutes ago. I've setup my miner to alt between stratum and the non stratum server as well as another pool. As both pools seem to disconnect for us :(

Is it the load on the server causing the disconnects?

Don't worry, I think the load will drop soon. FTC difficulty is scheduled to almost double tomorrow. I see many people evacuating FTC for another alt coin until the difficulty corrects. (: Maybe this will buy thep33t some time to work out issues

this plus a incoming server migration (date TBD-having a hard time getting a new one provisioned atm).

As it goes, I am going to do daily reboots, as rejects/stales go down considerably for the next few hours, which is worth 5 mins downtime IMHO.

Too much idling for me right now of the pool. Switched back to LTC mining due to the soon-to-be new difficulty and the fact that I won't be around to make that change as it happens tomorrow (Black Keys concert!).

Hopefully when the difficulty readjusts downward then the pool will have all its bugs worked out and be ready for another onslaught.

yes

Any idea why the auto payout is not working? It did let me do it manually but just curious as I had it set to auto payout at over 5 FTC and when I got over 10 it still had not payed out so I did it manually.

i've moved to hynodeva pool no issues and payment is quick.

goobye and thanks for all the fish.

Tons of shares being rejected because of too many connections?!

same here...

DDOS maybe? the site is saying that to

I'm getting the same error but cgminer won't automatically switch to my backup pool.  I assume that's a cgminer issue, not a pool issue, right?

It's not a cgminer issue; not really. The pool isn't "down." Down means you can't connect to it. The pool is up. It is rejecting all proofs of work, but it is "up."

Cgminer has a setting you can enable to automatically disable any pool that rejects too many shares (check the README for details). Note that it won't automatically re-enable the pool after it does this. You'll have to do that manually to test to see if it's working again.

It seems that all feathercoin pools are down... at least all that I tried.
I moved back to litecoin. This is just annoying.

Does anyone know what is going on with this pools web site, I cant seem to get on?

Think it all gone to brown stuff. I moved to hynodeva.com for now. It's based on PPS so despite a higher fee you have no ramp up to wait for like on PPLNS.

DDOS?  seems like it?  probably the government lol

If it was DDoS then a simple post here would keep us informed - looks abandoned unfortunately. Over the last few days I've been mining here I've received about 75% (if that) of what i should have. I've moved on...  :'(

Thanks for the link, looks a good site. Im going to go mine there for a while :D

I'm mining here now: fc.dontmine.me

Much better, no lost connections, less than 0.5% rejected shares.

hmmm it's down :( saying too many connections :( DDOS ?

My miners are not mining there as well as no access to site.

Guys move over to www.WeMineFTC.com  super stable and WORKS. And its form the guys who made WeMineLTC as well, so they know what they are doing (and awesome support also)

 wemine is very good... i like no fees though

no fees only for ltc, feathercoin has 2% fees

Thanks... just moved, they are stable for the moment. 

looks like were back up

We are back up, manually have to process payments for the last 15 or so blocks. That is underway. done.

Thanks for having no fee there. I'm mining and donating to ya

Mine works too :)

Just not so much when you double in size about 6 times in the course of 24 hours :)

Hi,

I'm mining with mac CPU at about 6 Kh/s.

Does anyone know why is it that my Unpaid Shares are growing much faster than the Paid Shares? I never seem to catch up.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Because it takes 120 confirmations to get a payout so your unpaid shares will build up until some of the blocks you helped contribute to reach 120 confirmations.

And with the current network hashrate, 120 confirms takes a day or two. See Account Transactions for unpaid blocks, and Block Stats to see how many confirms the recent Blocks have.

Don't forget to update the pool and your clients to 0.6.4 before block 33,000 or things will break.

'
It is up to date :)
All users should def. update their clients too.

So, looks like the pool and site are all down. Any word on that?

should be back.

Server lost its bootloader, among other things. Site temporarily moved and running.

just joined. *fingers crossed*

Please note: server has been relocated to a better host. Old one kept rebooting the whole machine multiple times, without notice. Should be much more stable and scaleable.

IP has changed, so if you are getting connection failed, flush your DNS.

just joined and chucked my 750Khash LTC rig on to FTC - not showing a Khash in the options but showing accepted shares? is there a time delay before telling me how fast i'm mining?

Give it 30 mins to an hour and see if it shows anything.

it never shows a hashrate for me

i have 423 valid unpaid shares so i assume it's working  ???

Hashrates are averaged over 25 minutes. So if you have no shares (or only a few) It will show 0 kb/s. If you see unpaid shares, that means your shares are being accepted by the server.


See above. If it still shows 0, let me know.

left it running over night - generated a whole load of shares but no hashrate shown

It should be fixed now. I threw a few Kh/s to your account for a bit, and your hashrate is now showing up.

Cheers, i've dropped my miner back on - btw is there a way to CPU mine for FTC?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62414.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62414.0) seems to work well enough for scrypt-based coins.

If you do not want a gui, try: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.0)

It looks like the drop in difficulty gave all the miners a boost in est. daily. My respect to all the hard core miners that continued to support Feathercoin.

i try to use CL as much as possible :) .bat files FTW :D

Hey really newbie question what does estimated per payout mean exactly? how often are the payouts? Also theoretically how much should around 1000 kilo hashes be paid per day?


Thanks guys :)

shares havent changed all day but Khash changes - any ideas whats going on? 

Of course it happened over memorial day...

I am running a few scripts to catch everything up. Give it a few hours at minimum. There are a lot of shares to be categorized.

glad you've sorted it out :) woke up to find a lovely amount of FTC had paid out :)

Guy's I'm confused...  ???

I'm currently hashing away and have been doing so for around 3 days now but I haven't gotten any Feathercoins into my account balance. Also my unpaid shares and paid shares are both at zero...

my username is Lachy.


Can anyone help? Thank you.

Sorry for the delay in response.

Problem is fixed. Your shares sent were counted and paid.

I'm experiencing the same problem as lachy... after mining all day, I see no FTC in my acct bal.

Username = cliveatfive

That is due to the network hashrate.

It takes about 24 hours at current rate to get 120 confirms on a block.

48 hrs later, still no change.

Did the rewards system change and my puny brain just doesn't understand it? Or did the difficulty peak or something?

you did not start mining until block 33,419. Look at the BlocksAuth page. That block does not yet have 120 confirms (It has 88 at this time). Once that gets 120, you will start to receive payment, when the block after that gets 120 confirms, you will be paid out for that.

I do not see where the confusion lies.

Are you saying you were mining before that point in time?

According to my Transactions Log, I started mining at block #33398, though it does look, now that those shares have been credited. The earned shares were far less than expected, though. (400+Mhash for 18 hours...) I don't pretend to fully understand the reward system and all the changes that've been going on in FTC...

I'll trust ya, for now at least. ;)

me and a buddy mined for about 2 hours. 0 payment. And now I look at my account and it seems like i still havnt gotten anything. so estimated coins per day was about 150 but mined for 2 hours and made 0. I know its pplns but damn.

120 confirms.

What is your account name?

My account: bitporium
Buddy: aperson123

according to statistics, the pool has not yet found any block?

I've been mining on this pool for about 30 hours and have 19,000 valid, unpaid shares with 0 account balance. Is that normal for FTC? Does it just take that much longer for the blocks to be approved? Account name is the same as my forum name.

I'm also showing only 2 blocks in the statistics.

FTC pools were under attack all day. I don't expect to recover my coins.

I am looking into it, but it appears dozens of blocks were orphaned well into the blockchain. Will report back once I have a better idea of what exactly it is that happened (as it appears like a 51% attack was carried out)

I've had this problem aswell. Moving on.

I have the problem as well. Been mining since last 24 hours but my payout was just poor 2 FTC which just showed up 30 mins ago. I wonder if OP can take a look at my account as well

Sorry, I was totally new to FTC, and I saw OP is very helpful with questions and issues for each member. I apologize if I am asking stupid questions   :'(

Had to bring the pool offline for ~20 minutes. The newest Feathercoin client caused a few odd issues, which have been resolved. Up and running again with the latest FTC client.

Since I have been receiving a bunch of PM's about lack of payment in the past day, please see http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?board=55.0 (http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?board=55.0) to read up on the attack of FTC. There was this same problem for everyone mining the coin, not just this pool. If you are still having issues with payouts not happening today, let me know.

I mined on this pool yesterday for over 12 hours at 535khs and got a total of 0.3796 ftc

was something up?
i switched pools after the difficulty change as the blocks were not returning.

Look at link in post above yours.

OP, what time did you bring down the pool? I was at home about 3 hours ago and saw my miner is dead with invalid user and prehash-stale errors. I restarted it and confirmed it has 28 kh/s then I left ... Didnt double check if it went back to full speed....  now I am at my office and saw its dead again with 0 kh/s.

Ok, i just restarted my two machines now they seem to work fine. Hopefully they will be stable for the next 7 hours before i go to bed

Current Round Shares [Total shares since last found block]
Pool Valid: -4262

Is this normal?

Can't login

Stratum crashed, hard.

The server lost everything. Rebuilding a new stratum machine from scratch. Longpoll is still working, and has plenty of overhead. ETA 1 day for a working stratum connection again.


This is carryover from the orphaned blocks during attack. After those shares clear themselves in ~48 hours, it will correct itself. Payout is not affected by this display bug.


Can I get maybe a little more information? PM me your username, email you used, and issue and I will help you out.

 ??? I don't think so... The account balance still says zero - and I hadn't until 5 minutes ago had a wallet attached to my account. Can you please look into this further? I'd really like me some feathercoins.

I just looked up your account.

You mined for a little bit on Block 33191 (this block took about 2 hours to find.)

This pool found a block about 14 hours later. In that time, your shares rolled off the backend of the PPLNS payout system.
Please see: http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/about (http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/about) for information about how this payout system works.

is the site down?

back up

"You can DDOS me down, but my Cisco will prevail"

The webpage was down, but mining was actually working for about 75% of the people. Weaksauce DDOS.

Although someone did find a vulnerability in the manual payout, and took over 442.817438 FTC from the pool. There goes my profits for the past few months :|

For the moment, manual payouts are disabled. Automatic payouts are working fine. If you have any issues getting your FTC out, let me know.

yeah i noticed that i was still submitting shares... is it worth posting the address(es) of who stole it?

I edited my post above with what I know.

He has done it a few times in the past looking at my logs. Took another 35.35 and 1.06.

Fun people we live with.

Still under DDos?? couse it still loads slow. the site.

also mining seems to be affected . ( So now and then http errors in mining )

seems that way. Mining seems to be up, but as you said, rather slow. Website is not loading at all for me. Getting in touch with hosts right now.

moved my miners to LTC pool as i have to go now.

Will move them back later :P

Pesky russian hackers... (IP address is from a russion telecomms company)

Pool & website should be back up now.

Manual payments offline until I get around to fixing it, use automatic payouts instead.

site and pool is down atm - will it be back soon? all my miners are on LTC until its come back

China was at it again. It is back up now. Also FW is now much stricter about SYN flooding.

I'm back in the pool.
Hope they stop this bullshit.

it's just so perfetic

It came from mostly the same place each time, those places are no longer an issue for this pool. Hopefully they A) Give up, or B) move somewhere else.

Stratum protocol dont work for me At this moment. so i'm on the normal one.

What is up with the website?? I can't log in?

all down now the site and the pools. :()

so if we have funds on the site theyre stuck there for now or gone for good?

Site is back but still no auto payout.

So still wait to turn miners back on till it did payout.

@ PoolOwner.

When you gonna enable the auto payout again??

And do we also get some update on whats going on..

Sorry, I was away for the weekend. Auto payouts have been fixed.

Site is still going down a bit, changing hosting providers in a few days max to hopefully alleviate any further issues. Until then I am monitoring site and will try and get it up if it goes down ASAP.

New host online. Let me know if any issues arise, still working on a fix for manual payments, for now, continue to use automatic payout.

Manual Payouts fixed. You now must fill out a captcha to withdraw. You can thank scammers for that extra step.

What an unlucky round...

yea, luckily it was preceded by like 2 days of rounds where over double the number of blocks expected were found.

Yeah too bad I was still trying to mine BTC during that time period :P

Oh well, I am here for the long haul.  FTC seems like the best place for a GPU n00b miner like myself.

Besides, I like seeing my name in the top 10 list of the pool haha

i see a challenge - when im not mining LTC im usually 5th ;)

haha!  Well I won't be able to crack the top 5 until I can convince my wife to let me get another card.  I keep telling her I have this empty PCI-E slot that is just begging to pick up an axe and mine.

My other issue is that I doubt that my 850W PSU can run 3 cards... :-\

I guess it depends on what cards you're running - i have a 5870, 5850 and their running happily on a 850 pulling around 430w with some other stuff running ;) (i have 2 ASIC USB miners plugged in)

Well I have a 5850 and a 6950 running right now... but there is an empty PCI-E slot that I want to get put another 5850 into, but I might shell out some cash and get a 7950 just becase I want one.  

I think I will need to get a 1000W supply to run all three though... actually, I have a 630W laying around, so I could just run two PSUs.

well the 7950 would definately increase your hash rate ;)

if yiou have some spare BTC there are occasionally ones in the forum for sale - so far none in teh UK for me though :(

Yeah, my wife told me I could get 3 new cards if I want.  I just have to sell my shares of Fannie Mae... :-\

Oh well this is just a hobby for me, so I will probably wait to get the 7950, but if I can find another $60 5850 on Craigslist then I will snag that up.

Round complete!  Woot woot!

nice - i'm going to be installign my 6850 into my rig this week... am just hoping it doesnt increase the heat output too much :P

Is it normal to take over 30 hours to confirm a block?  Just curious, never mined FTC before.

Also, just wanted to say that I happened to be monitoring my rig when I got a message on the screen saying I discovered a block!

I was hoping my computer would light up and start ringing like a slot machine.  8)

little slow on the confirms. Difficulty just retargeted, so it should pick up a good amount.

Im actually running "EasyMiner" app on the iphone which worked fine with Litecoin.

However I have three workers who are showing as "Active? - N" and showing 0 kh/s rate as well, even though they are chugging away.

The typical hash rate on the iPhone is about 0.4 KH ... is that too small to register on your pool?  Worked fine with the Litecoin pool I was using.

I have 5 users:

laptop 1 - 36 KH
laptop 2 - 14 KH
iPod - 0.30 kH
iPhone - 0.40 kH
iPad - 0.40 kH

The last three are showing as Not active and 0 khash ...

Issue 2:  One of my laptop Hash rates popped into my Ipod user slot incorrectly at one point.
Issue 3:  One of the laptops went from "Y" to "N" on active even though it was still chugging away.

Duplicate

hashrates on the pool are calculated as average over 15 minutes base on number of shares submitted. at under 1 kh/s, you will not submit many shares at all, so if in the past 15 minutes you submitted 0-1 shares, it might show up as 0kh/s. Payout is based on number of shares submitted.

Manual Payouts have been reenabled.

Anyone having issues with payouts and this site? Automatic payout hasn't gone through still and I'm way over the set threshold.  ???

Issue resolved. Both manual and automatic payouts have been fixed and processed.

Just thought i would say hi as i can post now.

plodding away at 400khps till new gear comes

but i did find a block in my first 3 hours mining with you guys

i cant cash out its disabled and auto isnt working either

It is working. Occasionally someone enters some gibberish that gets past my auto-detection. This is generally cleared out 2 times a day.

i am currently unable to log in - any ideas whats going on? ive tried resetting my password and from a couple of different browsers and machines.

I'm getting multiple rejections for all blocks -- (Ntime out of range) error.  This started about 10:00pm central standard time.

seems like there are multiple issues - i was able to create a new account and log in but my account remains unable to login - after restting the password and following all instructions given by admin i still cannot login - i suspect somethign is corrupted somewhere. waiting for the admin to reply back.

Fixed a small issue that caused a few auto-payouts to be delayed by several hours.

All issues mentioned above have been fixed for a while via pm, I just neglected to post the resolution.

So cgminer shows

But even after more than 15 minutes, the website shows that worker is only doing 9KH/s. Is there a problem on my end?

Also, I've noticed after leaving it on for several hours it almost always shows feathercoin.is-a-geek.com is unreachable. When I've noticed this, I usually quit and restart cgminer. Is that necessary, or will it resume automatically?

I havent noticed any issues with connectivity on my miners... first thing i would check is the HW errors, 167 seems very high.

What card are you using? try dialing back the intensity?

What about my transaction № 978514, I didn't receive anything!

Few days, no cash out not work

I see that 3 time and nothing happen late, fix pool, it's not work around few days. Thx.

Just a question but when do the mined coins go into account balance from "estimated per payout"?

i had X amount of estimated and i did not mine for one day and now both are standing at 0.0 FTC

however it says Paid Shares
Your Valid: 1588
Invalid: 7

how is the paying to account balance working out?

Still unable to withdraw coins from this site.

I would advise that you avoid this site until thep33t fix's the pool  :'(

Withdraw not work, from 2013-11-25, is that so very hard to fix? And more than week can't be fix it? What a problems with that?

Where all income from 2013-11-25 until 2013-12-02? Mysql not work only 1 day.

2all: You can see for no income on http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/accounttransactions

It's a scam

No I don't think so.
Joined this pool last night and just did a manual payout earlier today and it does work. Took it about 10min for payment to arive and get confirmed.
Please give this guy (?) a break since it's a nice little pool he's running and I don't think he's a scammer.
Happy mining and happy holidays everyone.
Bear

The withdraw function for this pool "appears" to be working again. But the host of the site went missing for quite some time. It took almost a month to withdraw my coins. I would exercise caution when using this pool

Having an issue here with unpaid shares!!!!!!
 Your Valid: 25841
Pool Valid: 425144  i mined over nite to try it out and it has not yet sent to my account balance

I stopped hashing for now and went back to lite coin ............. please help thanks!

My account for over a two or three weeks now:

Paid Shares [All submitted shares from previous rounds which are already accounted and paid for.]

I did the work and expect to be paid. The pool owner has not even replied to my personal message from the last issue, which I fixed myself.

I have stopped mining and give the advice to never mine feathercoin.is-a-geek.com. You might not get paid.
