Title: [POOL] GigaRho Profit-Switching Multipool (Scrypt,x11,sha256,neoscrypt,blake2s)
Post by: GigaRho on January 05, 2018, 03:44:30 AM

Update 3/26: We are pleased to announce that we have reduced the BTC minimum payout to 0.005 BTC at all scheduled payout times. The Sunday reduced 0.001 minimum still applies each week.


GigaRho.com Crypto Mining Profit-Switching Multipool

After being a privately used pool for a while, we want to bring our services live to other miners. The experience behind personally mining for many years has lead to a strong desire to create something with the miner at its core. Our goal will always be to improve and maximize earnings for time spent.

GigaRho offers multiple algorithms that each contain some of the highest profitability coins. More algos and coins are under constant evaluation and will be added at benefit for profitability. The pool's collective hashrate is taken into account for difficulty calculation on the coin switch.

https://gigarho.com (https://gigarho.com)

Our system is built to enable a proportional share earning based on the blocks which the pool finds. Your connection details (payout coin preference) enable the system's autoconversion option where any coin that is found will be exchanged into Bitcoin, Litecoin or others that have available supplies. We have a decent amount of documentation on our site to detail connection examples. The pool supports ASIC equipment (such as  Antminer L3+ or D3) and GPU/CPU mining on their respective algorithms. As more hardware and coins become available we will attempt to support as much as possible to benefit our community. Beyond what is on our pool, we offer a few other services such as support ticketing system and forums. Our main focus is on the pool, but in downtime the main site will be expanded to offer more services when appropriate.

Connection examples are provided at https://pool.gigarho.com (https://pool.gigarho.com). Every different algorithm connects to our pool on a specific port number. Each port number can be found on the site.

We try to stay connected as best we can with our community, please post on our forums (https://gigarho.com/forum) or follow twitter (https://twitter.com/gigarho) for updates.

Thank you everyone for your support so far! We have received several requests and as such our auto-conversion feature now supports payout into Litecoin!

If you wish to use our multipool system to now receive Litecoin as a payout currency, just use your Litecoin wallet address as the username and c=LTC in the password field. If you already have a different address listed on our pool (such as a BTC payout address) you will have to separately make a new address for LTC which will disassociate your previous earnings. If your old address meets the minimum payout threshold per day or our low Sunday rate it will still payout once matured otherwise please try to meet that threshold if you still want access to those earnings.

The site currently still shows daily/live statistics in BTC payout figures, but the backend supports the payouts into LTC already. Once we can work on the site display to support that information change we will try. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. We want to bring requested features to our community when we can and this is just the first step.

Throughout our public launch we have received several requests and suggestions to add new algorithm offerings on our multipool. Since we already have plans for expansion we would like to offer the ability for everyone to vote through our forum poll located here (https://gigarho.com/index.php/forum/site-discussion/4-next-algorithm-suggestion-poll). Based on coin offerings, anticipated beginning pool hashrate and profitability for miners we will begin rolling out new options as soon as we can. Feel free to leave a message here or one of our other social channels as well if you have a suggestion or request.

Aside from that all payouts/systems have been completely functional. We have added quite a few more coins and optimized a few of the ones already in place. Thanks again for stopping by...now back to work!

31mWa6f71bmTKJU58YHu28noVsvoWC1zGq

Hello,

Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. After investigating your claim and what the cause could be, we believe to have nailed down the reason. There was a safeguard in place that all reduced payouts would need to be greater than the actual transaction fee placed on the payout, which in your case did not exceed that value. Our system uses a dynamic calculation to ensure people receive their Bitcoin or altcoin as fast as their appropriate networks allow so this fee is usually high due to Bitcoin's mempool popularity.

That being said, I have temporarily set today as a reduced payout day and have changed that requirement to more accurately reflect our pool's community. This should allow you to receive the payout at our next payout time. We apologize for not noticing this sooner as a large percentage of our community chooses altcoin payouts such as LTC or usually meets the minimum BTC balance during the other 6 days of the week.

If you have any additional concerns feel free to message me directly and we will do our best to resolve them.

I was going for minimum payout to compare how different pools performed and how long it takes to run a payment on each :)

Hello,

I hope I correctly understand what you are saying, but after reviewing your account it seems like at the time of this writing you have only been mining for several hours on the pool. Since you have chosen Bitcoin as the payout method, it goes through the exchange process which all pending balances take 24hrs to confirm on the pool. Every found coin is quoted at a momentary price when found but confirmed once exchanged at that price, which works to the miners benefit in times of rising prices on certain coins. It does appear that your pending balance is rising as you continue to stay connected and finding blocks with us.

Just to reiterate, the pending balance will always be fluctuating based on live exchange prices from the exchanges we use to get you the desired BTC payout. The number you really should pay attention to is the confirmed balance ready for payout which begins about 24hrs after that particular block has been found. More in depth descriptions of our system/services can be found on our pool's website.

Also, I should add that I believe you are referring to the yellow "pending balance" line on the graph. That decreases when certain coins have confirmed exchange. In the wallet page you can see, Immature, Confirmed, Total detailed sections for each found coin. Once a coin moves from Immature to Confirmed the pending balance drops. Confirmed balances are not reflected in the ready for payout section of the balance sheet until about 24hrs later.

We truly hope that we addressed your concern and if not feel free to message me directly or however is convenient for you.

Update 1/27 #1:  sha256 has been added as an available algo option on our multipool. At the time of this post, there are 22+ sha256 coins available with more coming as they are ready. Some will be enabled as the sha256 pool grows to sustain high difficulty blocks. Also the main sha256 port is configured with standard difficulty meant for physical miners. If you are planning to use Nicehash or other services which require a higher minimum difficulty, we would like you to know that a separate port is in the works to handle that load.


Update #2: GigaRho's payout system has undergone improvement to handle the developing network transaction fees and broad amount of currencies available. Our minimum payout system triggered today (Saturday 1/27) instead of the normal Sunday timeslot. More optimizations are coming to improve the structure based on recommendations from our community. The normal Sunday payout should be resumed next week.


Update #3: A decent amount of available coins have been added to all of our existing algos to benefit profitability and shall be adjusted as necessary based on our size.


Note: We have had a decent amount of new users try to choose altcoins other than the standard payout coins listed on the pool. If the coin you want is not in stock, the pool shall attempt to restock those enough to cover payouts required. All requests for additional payout options can be made on our forums.


Thank you all for joining us as we work to expand our offerings and improve everything. There is much happening behind the scenes and we will try to communicate whenever appropriate.

Hello,

You are correct that the current minimum BTC payout is 0.01, and it is the same figure 0.01 for every other available payout coin such as LTC. There is one small caveat that if you were to choose an obscure coin that is not guaranteed payout because of supply then we would need to refill appropriately to maintain a balance sufficient for payout.

The payout system is something that we constantly evaluate due to each coin's mempool and popularity causing abnormally high transaction fees. As a result, the numbers that I quoted are subject to improvement when it benefits our community and the system.

As to when you will be paid, all "mature/confirmed" balances that exceed the 0.01 balance minimum daily or the weekly 0.001 minimum threshold that is applied on Sunday. This week was an exception as it paid mature balances on Saturday instead for testing purposes. The Bold number on the "Balance" line of the wallet page is the confirmed pending balance ready for payout. the Total Unpaid is an approximate amount preparing for exchange into payout coin choice and is subject to fluctuation based on current prices and possible block orphaning/confirmation issues. Many of our payout methodologies and policies can be viewed on the main pool homepage (https://pool.gigarho.com/) and other parts of the site as we may improve certain functions.

well, thank you for comprehensive answer, I really appreciate that,

one more things, just to be sure:
- if I choose the LTC payment, will I receive payment when I reach balance 0.01 LTC or 0.62 LTC (equivalent to 0.01 BTC) ?

If you were to choose LTC it will be 0.01 LTC, not the equivalent conversion. Each coin is considered a separate entity in terms of payout and is treated as such when confirmed at moment of exchange.

For clarification I should also point out that your current earnings that are connected to your BTC address will remain for that account. If you did switch and create a new account for LTC then the past earnings will not be associated in any way. Although as long as your BTC balance meets the Sunday minimum 0.001 it will payout and you can start on LTC completely separate if you wish.

Hello again,

As I stated on the website there was a late payment due to the Bitcoin mempool being heavily congested. Today’s payout is now confirmed and sent in the correct amount. Also, we even advanced you and the others affected their premature balance before it was due to be paid out. We kept in constant communication on the site through our regular status updates and have even lowered our pool fee for the next few days as a way of showing how we wanted to make things right for having delayed payout for four hours later due to extended confirmation times.

Please double check your actual Bitcoin wallet and you should see everything properly there. I’m not sure what else we can do as we worked very hard to make things right.

If you feel like you would like more assistance feel free to message me directly. If you would like I could even post logs here proving you have been paid the correct amounts and in a timely manner.

https://pool.gigarho.com/?address=14ksWvXuYFjCvvGxePAbqPKsNtn8K4SiQU

Look at the website's earnings chart and after the last gain the balance fell twice.

And...if you would look at your BTC address:

You can see that the graph fell because you were paid out confirmed balances at those times. At this point I'm not sure what you are implying. You were paid out correctly.

Hello again,

Thank you for confirming that everything went appropriately as far as payments actually received to you. As far as your question about the website showing the payout, we addressed this on the site status page concerning the situation. The earlier payout had to be manually adjusted after it was sent to bump it up in BTC's mempool so it would confirm during yesterday's massive surge in backlogging blocks around the time we do our daily payouts. As a result of this adjustment it had to be assigned a new info and the text was altered to reflect the change. It should now show up on the site properly even though the transaction was physically sent yesterday and confirmed already. Apologies for not updating the text sooner, but we wanted to make sure physical BTC was sent appropriately as our main concern.

Also, in the future if there should be some concern or issue you have, feel free to either message me directly, open a support ticket on the site or however is convenient for you. We are here to help and address these issues if you have any misunderstandings instead of bringing up charges accusing our integrity when the situation was not what it was. Everything is functioning properly and we will deal with any issues as best we can. Cheers!

Hello,

I looked into your situation and it has to do with what happened during our payout system changes yesterday. When the system initiated payouts late last night for BTC payout users it subtlety affected the graphs/earnings reporting for other cryptos as well. As you can see from the wallet page, the Balance line is "catching up" to the pending amount. When our system initiates our daily payment today (1/31) your pending balance should be paid accurately and the graph should begin moving as intended from that point on.

There are plans to improve the graphs/reporting so it accurately reflects events such as yesterdays niche occurrence. This tends to take a backseat in terms of priority with regard to other systems such as payments and profitability for each algorithm. Rest assured everything is logged and action will be taken if necessary.

If you would like to post your wallet address for LTC, I would be happy to look into your situation. I do remember you asked a few days ago about transitioning to LTC. When creating a new address (such as your LTC address) all initial blocks found take around 24 hrs to confirm from pending. Without actually looking at your account I would assume that is the case here as you probably haven't had much in earnings since you asked me about it a day and a half ago. If you meet the 0.01 LTC "Balance" amount by tonight it should pay out today.

Would definitely be eager to look into this more for you if you would like. If there is anything more I can do to clarify, please do not hesitate to ask.

When creating a new address (such as your LTC address) all initial blocks found take around 24 hrs to confirm from pending. Without actually looking at your account I would assume that is the case here as you probably haven't had much in earnings since you asked me about it a day and a half ago. If you meet the 0.01 LTC "Balance" amount by tonight it should pay out today.

Would definitely be eager to look into this more for you if you would like. If there is anything more I can do to clarify, please do not hesitate to ask.

Ok, I see your address and that you switched over to the Neoscrypt algo when you originally were on x11 when using the BTC address I believe, that is why I didn't see you before. When we made payouts yesterday at 8pm EST your confirmed balance was below 0.01 LTC, but it is now ready to payout roughly 0.02887 LTC (or more if more confirms by 6PM EST). Everything appears ready for that address, but we will monitor it and if anything goes awry we will take care of it for you.

yes, I mined on x11 with two btc addresses, I've received funds in both wallets, than tried with LTC wallet for GTX 1070 which also I can confirm receiving funds
so, I guess all is working as it should

just hope for another occassion like bnrtxcoin (x11) was   ;)

Absolutely, we are constantly evaluating other cryptos that are available to add to the pool that have results like BNX. There are lots of options to review, but we need to ensure it boosts profitability and logically makes sense. Also the drop in crypto market capitalization that has been happening this month has been affecting which currencies remain profitable to mine. Especially the last few days have been volatile investing opportunities, but once things pick back up the community will improve overall.

Post by: GigaRho on February 03, 2018, 06:49:02 AM

Update 2/3:

Several coins have been added across multiple algos which should help improve profitability on each. More are currently in progress and will be enabled when available. Some will benefit profitability when each algo's hashrate is higher than what is currently present and as such will be switched on at that moment to maintain consistent earnings.

We are looking not only to improve each algo present, but perhaps expand to other algos. We have received several requests, but if anyone has suggestions for coins/algos let us know and we will put them through our review process.

With many cryptos, a thorough review is performed to make sure profitability and stability are maintained or benefit from addition. Likewise we review existing coins on the pool for changes/drop in stability and may need to make changes if the situation calls for it.

More improvements inc...

Hello,

I looked at the LTC address you linked earlier in the post, so I hope that is the same address you are using. The pending balance seems to be still unconfirmed amounts that haven't exchanged yet. As LTC is currently up ~26% of its daily 24hr value it appears pending balance graph representation is adjusting to that value for each found block percentage that you were a part of as your earnings are confirmed for exchange into LTC.

Once each share reward is actually exchanged into LTC it will appropriately be added to your total balance. Another factor is that when pending balances are confirmed, the line for that pending graph stagnates and the actual blue balance line rises as is shown on your wallet page because those balances are no longer pending but now are confirmed and ready for payout. Also it appears as though you stopped mining using the sha256 device as that hashrate abruptly dropped, so naturally there are less earnings in a graph representation because you are using less devices.

Hopefully that answers your question, but if you would like to know more please let me know.

Thank you for that, and I agree that the graphs that we have now are not at all clear enough to show what is going on. I have plans to make them much better soon, but we spend a great majority of the time making sure the cryptos and profits are as high as possible for the community. There is a lot in the works and there is a lot that needs to be added and clarified further. Basically we made this pool because we were unsatisfied with any other pool out there. That ambition to be more miner friendly is what drives us to deliver a better experience in stability, profit and exploration.

Cheers  :)

I've tried setting a static diff for the S9 as suggested (password: c=BTC,d=262000) but the pool doesn't use the diff setting, and the diff changes dynamically.

Recently we altered the sha256 stratum difficulty to allow some people who don't necessarily own Antminer S9's the opportunity to mine using their equipment as well. Essentially anything over 250k static diff would trigger the variable difficulty as a result of this. We just haven't edited the text yet on the main page. sha256 has one of the widest range of possible connection details and we have been tuning it to match who shows up to use that algo. Nicehash currently requires 1,000,000 difficulty with their plan, some miners who own S9 prefer 262k on strictly Bitcoin mining pools, but here var diff works well because a lot of the options presently available are not that difficult to find and process yet. As the number of miners expand we have at least 10 more coins ready to enable which we'll tune the difficulty even more for better pool results.

We are still working on enabling a higher difficulty port for this situation as well, but we want to make sure everything is recorded properly between the two different ports before we enable it globally. We'll post here and on the site when we have more to announce concerning that.

Our profitability calculations of the 24hr actual that you see for each algo are (total mined blocks in a 24hr period equivalent to their BTC exchange rate)/(Average total hashrate of that algorithm over 24hrs). Since the denominator of the expression is not Petahashes large, it doesn't diminish the earned results that our pool collectively finds. That being said we also optimize what offerings are available based on what hashrate the pool has online. We care about how our pool is doing and how we can bring each miner a higher result at the end of the day.

Also I should mention, the entire crypto exchange rate conversion number is extremely volatile right now because of the bear market that BTC and other cryptos are experiencing. Some of the altcoins are becoming more resilient and earning more BTC per day because BTC has shrunk >35% in a week.

Finally to your point about only one coin being mined, there are dozens available on the algo but the stratum ensures it finds the most profitable and sends most of the hashrate to the highest if it exceeds a certain percentage above other options. Each day is a different story, different coins have good days and the pool adjusts to meet that.

Ok, I see where you are coming from, but you are looking at a period of 11 mins on a Tues, Feb.6th. That is a very small and specific window to base results on. We also know there are other coins out there, but we choose what is best for this pool, not what other pools do. Also the "profitability" figure is not strictly a mBTC conversion number, its a "profitability" number as the word implies. The profitability is based on what other pools are looking for that coin at that particular second and how easy it is for us to find it vs them taking global network hashrate into consideration.

As we said on the pool site, a particular exchange is having deposit issues and some coins are affected until they can resolve them. As a precaution we needed to take measures to ensure everything is stable for the pool. We will be monitoring and have already cycled in UNIT and MAY to help sha256.

The balance will be honored. Most of it should have matured into balance ready for payout since it has approximately been disabled for 24hrs. We need to ensure the entire process is stable for that particular coin before it can be re-enabled.

Hi,

have two L3's pointed at the pool. Showing a confirmed balance of .08 LTC but no payout - been a few days. LTC -  LYaqF8K9yKMddccdaDbjqi7i5Lp7Tfw9P5

I would love to send my other 4 over your way but need to make sure the payout thing gets resolved.

I would also like to put some of my S9's and T9's on your pool. Not sure why, but your pool seems to be really hard on the S9's. Tons of HW errors and they run about 10c hotter than on Slush. That's a problem. I am using Vardiff (didn't send a d=) and extranonce so that might be it. Would love suggestions as have quite a bit of HW and the initial results look very promising, but not at the expense of frying my SHA equipment :). I have one still running on 15pCpgJpRoYv6f1BY2Jsck2zBTBKvFBBRF so maybe you can see something on your end?

Also - last thing. I noticed that if I change my L3's to my BTC address and c=btc they begin to behave badly as well - lots of errors and hot. I obviously left them pointed at the Scrypt port. Any reason this would be happening? I have moved the two back to LTC and they have settled down nicely.

Thanks

Hi,

have two L3's pointed at the pool. Showing a confirmed balance of .08 LTC but no payout - been a few days. LTC -  LYaqF8K9yKMddccdaDbjqi7i5Lp7Tfw9P5

I would love to send my other 4 over your way but need to make sure the payout thing gets resolved.

I would also like to put some of my S9's and T9's on your pool. Not sure why, but your pool seems to be really hard on the S9's. Tons of HW errors and they run about 10c hotter than on Slush. That's a problem. I am using Vardiff (didn't send a d=) and extranonce so that might be it.

quick update - since pointing my S9 back at the SHA pool an hour ago it appears to be much more stable. i will keep an eye on it over next few days. may be some of the changes referred to earlier in the thread

Hello,

After looking at your account, it appears that you have been mining like you said, and around 10pm EST yesterday your balance started to mature into balance ready for payout. There haven't been any scheduled payouts since the time your balance began to mature and now. Today's payout should be in a couple of hours and include all of your balance (0.097 LTC right now). Due to the nature of the conversion process from found blocks into LTC, it takes a bit of time to confirm pending balances (usually around 24 hrs from each found block). We'll monitor the payout more closely today to ensure everything went properly and resolve anything if need be.

Next to your point about the S9s...currently the sha256 algo is sending a bunch of very small jobs to your machines instead of larger shares due to you using var diff. Originally we had several people using machines on sha256 that were still 50GH/s or so and the lower difficulty was helpful to them. We will be raising the min difficulty soon to help accommodate the S9 and hopefully that should ease some of pressure on the machine. I appreciate your feedback on that, honestly am surprised to hear about 10C hotter. Definitely want to help you fix that if we can.

At the moment I am not aware of anything on our end that would cause the L3 to behave that way when changing LTC address to BTC and password simultaneously. I personally have several L3+s pointed at the pool and have done exactly as you have tried, switching from a LTC address to BTC and back on occasion. If you are using the standard antminer firmware to handle the switch maybe something specific might happen through that? I'd recommend Awesome Miner software to manage and monitor the devices with API access enabled on each device. Keep us posted and we'll look into this further as well.

Thanks for the quick response - I really appreciate it. I assumed the payout might be timing related. Will have the other L3's up tomorrow.

I am using the native Antminer firmware so perhaps that's part of the issue. I will Look into Awesome miner - been meaning to given the number of rigs I have now (thank you solar power). The S9 is now running in the mid to high 70's which is ok. Do you suggest leaving it on Vardiff and not setting the diff manually? Still throwing quite a few errors on each board (a few hundred a day if I extrapolate). I realize HW errors are normal but the first tray a few days ago was well above that. Good thing is that it appears stable and overall error rate is 0.0006% so probably not something to worry about. Let me look into Awesome miner - have no idea how to enable API access but suspect their documentation will walk me through that.

Thanks for the updates.

I've set diff 15000 for the S9's now, this gives about 10 shares per minute - not sure if you had a target share rate you want to hit.

We just did an update that applies a more proper standard difficulty to sha256. We are going to monitor this value, see what miners/equipment are connected and fine tune the value to accommodate as many devices as possible. As far as a number for the S9, I've seen many different theories on the matter personally and it has changed a bit depending on tech and year we are in. Long ago it used to be for every Terahash the device uses to multiply that number by 1024. Nicehash recommends d=1,000,000 for 100TH/s (so the scaling is a bit different) and I've seen people suggest d=262,000 for the S9 as also acceptable. There are several different S9 models as far as how much the chips were OC'd by Bitmain which leads to a more personal difficulty recommendation based on how your machine is performing in the state its in.

As far as hardware errors, I've had certain machines whose sisters produce 10x the amount of HW errors as the same model they were shipped with. A lot of it is strictly the machine and usually doesn't affect performance (MH/TH, etc) unless there is more wrong.

Awesome miner is decent for monitoring and applying changes to a vast amount of available miners. They do have online documentation that walks through API access for Antminers, I'll link it here (https://www.awesomeminer.com/help/antminerapi.aspx).

Also it does appear your LTC payout went through normally.

Cheers  :)

Thanks for the updates.

I've set diff 15000 for the S9's now, this gives about 10 shares per minute - not sure if you had a target share rate you want to hit.
Mainly just want them to be stable with temp, and not kicking off a ton of errors - the vardiff has me at 262K on the S9 and it seems to be running fairly smoothly, I assume you manually set yours to 150000. I can try that - I didn't really have a target share rate in mind. Essentially assume that if I am hashing well (solid there), efficiently (also looks ok), and not throwing a bunch of HW errors then I am fine. It's creeping back up into the low 80c on the boards and prefer to keep them in the 70's if possible. As mentioned - on Slush it hashes at 14.5 but temps in mid to low 70c.

I'll try putting a couple of the S9's to vardiff and see

Hello,

After looking at the address you provided, it seems that you just restarted mining on that account around 11 hrs ago. Your pending balance is rising, but confirmed balances take around 24hrs to confirm and be eligible for the payout ready balance. The balance should begin confirming around 10am EST tomorrow or about 24 hrs after the time you started mining.

I am trying to get my 2PACs USB sticks running on CGMiner. Clearly need to set the diff low - have it at 512 but am getting constant restarts. Hashrate is about 75ghz on one machine and 45 on the other. They run, but get a pool restart at least once a minute. Any ideas?

Thanks

also moved my S9 to d=133K to see if it reduces the errors. Will let you know how that goes. Will add 2 T9's tonight and see how they behave.

I'd say that it has to do with change in job size/difficulty that we switched sha256 over to yesterday. In order to be more friendly to the S9s and other machines around that caliber, the job size needs to be bigger so it isn't flooding them as much. Originally we had planned to do two separate ports, one for low-diff machines, one for high-diff. What we will try to do now is tune the value for the live algo after we have enough data from what is currently hashing on the algo and see about adding a lower-difficulty port for machines such as your 2PACs usb that would benefit. Our main concern with that was to ensure it records everything properly, in terms of earnings, before we try to push that live. It is on our list of things to add, hopefully shouldn't be too far out.

Also do you notice a difference in the S9 currently? Temps decent, etc?

I had a typo above - I set my S9 to 13.3K (not 133K). WU up significantly , HW errors down and temps ok so looks like it's a better setting so far.

agree that the 2PACs are of secondary concern - they stop after an hour. Will wait for new low diff port when available. Happy to test it out as not much risk with those ;). For now will just point them to Mulipool as he has a low diff port.

S9 at 32K has really lowered HW errors to be almost irrelevant - running nice and cool. - The T9 is an inefficient hi voltage beast that wouldn't go below 80c if you ran it on the North Pole so not too worried about that but need more time to play with it. With vardiff it was rolling over to backup pool a lot and acceptance rate was really low. Haven't had time to play with optimizing my WU or shares/minute on T9 (busy at day job that pays for all this crap). I am just OCD so like the lower HW errors and have WU at 190K on S9 and . Low rejects, good acceptance rate, etc so all around much better. Will play with dropping the T9 down to about 16K tonight. Neither rig really liked 256K - both are new running Nov firmware. Will spin up the other S9's and T9's tomorrow - not sure how much of your pool you want me consuming so I will certainly back off if needed. Currently just over 20pct on pool on SHA (a few MRR on there as tests also), but I would pretty quickly go above 50 if I light everything up.

The L3's run like butter on the pool - way better an any other pool I have had them pointed to (every other multipool out there). So you have nailed it there. Nice job. Have 6 more of those I will spin up soon your way. I am only 2pct of pool with two L3's so you clearly have a lot more Scrypt running than SHA.

Agreeing with GEBucky here - I've set my S9's to 32k diff for the past day or so. Share rate is 1 every 10 seconds, which seems to be optimal for a lot of coins on the pool.

The coins with faster TTF or block times may not be optimal as I believe those would lead to sub-optimal work restarts; I believe this is accounted for by the pool management software already though.

Throughput is averaging above 13 TH/sec for the 13.5TH S9, so all good there. Last couple of days getting better returns than Slushpool with same number of miners.

agree that the 2PACs are of secondary concern - they stop after an hour. Will wait for new low diff port when available. Happy to test it out as not much risk with those ;). For now will just point them to Mulipool as he has a low diff port.

S9 at 32K has really lowered HW errors to be almost irrelevant - running nice and cool. - The T9 is an inefficient hi voltage beast that wouldn't go below 80c if you ran it on the North Pole so not too worried about that but need more time to play with it. With vardiff it was rolling over to backup pool a lot and acceptance rate was really low. Haven't had time to play with optimizing my WU or shares/minute on T9 (busy at day job that pays for all this crap). I am just OCD so like the lower HW errors and have WU at 190K on S9 and . Low rejects, good acceptance rate, etc so all around much better. Will play with dropping the T9 down to about 16K tonight. Neither rig really liked 256K - both are new running Nov firmware. Will spin up the other S9's and T9's tomorrow - not sure how much of your pool you want me consuming so I will certainly back off if needed. Currently just over 20pct on pool on SHA (a few MRR on there as tests also), but I would pretty quickly go above 50 if I light everything up.

The L3's run like butter on the pool - way better an any other pool I have had them pointed to (every other multipool out there). So you have nailed it there. Nice job. Have 6 more of those I will spin up soon your way. I am only 2pct of pool with two L3's so you clearly have a lot more Scrypt running than SHA.

Agreeing with GEBucky here - I've set my S9's to 32k diff for the past day or so. Share rate is 1 every 10 seconds, which seems to be optimal for a lot of coins on the pool.

The coins with faster TTF or block times may not be optimal as I believe those would lead to sub-optimal work restarts; I believe this is accounted for by the pool management software already though.

Throughput is averaging above 13 TH/sec for the 13.5TH S9, so all good there. Last couple of days getting better returns than Slushpool with same number of miners.


good to see you are getting similar results. I am getting at least a share every 10 seconds at 32K on S9. Double that on T9 at 13K but that's to be expected and T9 can handle lower diffs given it's higher voltage (and power consumption). Also did some math and seems that returns  are better than straight BTC mining (perhaps quite a bit but will give it a few days), and also better than other Scrypt options for L3's. Not a big fan of being left with a ton of coins I can't use (Mulitpool). A little off topic (more to thread above), but man did Awesome Miner behave anything but awesome. I let it have privileged access to all 6 running rigs and my S9's kept shutting down completely. It also seemed to do weird things to my L3's. I removed everything from AM and shut down my Windows VM, then hard rebooted all rigs. So far so good but that was a bit scary. Don't see much advantage to privilege mode with Antminers anyway - I will stick with jumping into my local running mac and managing the machines that way. I am pretty good at following instructions but that was just weird - haven't ever had a shutdown on the S9's until tonight.

I'm glad to hear the results have been better, but also a bit surprised to hear that about Awesome miner. It has worked decent for everyone I know who uses it, maybe the paid version is a bit more stable when handling API access? If it does personally give you results like you mentioned, its probably not worth the risk.

On that point, thank you for the feedback on how your machines are reacting to our changes/systems. We'll continue monitoring to ensure the numbers are as decent as they can be and that the people who connect have a smooth experience.

Now that we have a larger number of miners directed at each algo, we are working through a list of other cryptos that can be added to each algo. Over the next few days especially we are performing an upgrade to each option that should help profitability. Hopefully BTC prices and altcoins also stabilize in terms of their values so we have a better outlook going forward.

Ya - I was surprised also. I did get the pro paid version. I may give it another shot - was getting a little late so just hit reboot for now. It doesn't seem super easy to manage the Antimer's configuration with the app other than switching pools (i.e. changing existing pool parameters). I think I would need to import my pools to Awesome Miner and then tell the Ants to use those. The fact I didn't do that may have been part of the problem. I was also using the native Antminer console while Awesome Miner was running (didn't change anything) so that may have created the problem. If I can indeed really manage them remotely will be nice - I also have a couple of large GPU Eths on the way so using some of the features for those rigs could be very handy. Seems like the product is really centered on GPU, coin and also switching and Antiminer support was sort of bolted on. I will keep you in the loop as things progress. 32K seems like a sweet spot. Lowered the T9 to 16K overnight but it clearly runs better at 32K also.
One thing I have noticed - is that since I used Awesome Miner, then disconnected it, it appears my L3's are running at a way higher diff. My "Found Blocks" has come down an order of magnitude since last night. Everything else seems fine - may be a change on your end but just seems odd. Hoping it didn't' leave any residual effects on the machines. I did a full unplug reboot so think that shuts the Privileged API off, and Awesome Miner isn't running. I was getting 40 - 50 found blocks/day per L3 (no d= setting) previously and since last night I have 11 between the two. Diff is set by you at 199K for both currently - one is overclocked to 550 Mhs and it occasionally jumps up to >200K. Not sure if that's a problem or not. Otherwise things look fine. Around 6K shares accepted across both L3's in 12 hours, but only 18 blocks found. Previously would have been more like 80 in that timeframe.

Hello,

After looking at your BTC wallet that you listed, you are currently at 0.00805947 BTC Balance, which is below the payout balance of 0.01, however tomorrow is Sunday and we do our minimum weekly payout threshold of 0.001. The next payout cycle should be when your payment is triggered in the system. We'll monitor tomorrow to ensure it happens as it should.

At the moment we do not support Dash for payouts. We have a list that we want to eventually enable as we expand our infrastructure. Dash is definitely up at the top of the list and we'll have more information as we get closer to that point. Thanks for the input :)

Low value coins, fast block times, orphans ... or just plain bad luck?

Hello,

After checking that wallet's related balance, it appears that it didn't hit the 0.01 BTC threshold at payout time today. It seems to have only been eligible around an hour ago. We announced on the website earlier that our Sunday minimum threshold was pushed back to Monday, but regardless that balance is now over our normal 0.01 BTC amount and should payout at the next scheduled time.

We have already noticed this. Around 30 hours ago we enabled DigiByte (DGB) (was a user requested coin) on sha256 due to an increase in miners/hardware and with the difficulty of finding DGB on the weekend being decent enough for our users. It has since been disabled temporarily (as of noon EST on Feb 11th) as the number of machines and the difficulty don't make the wait in-between finding blocks worthwhile as luck is not enough. That being said the profitability "figures" should definitely normalize once DGB earnings are no longer reflected in the last 24 hr actual calculations (around noon EST on Feb 12). Presently the pool is not trying to find DGB and is earning around what it did before DGB was implemented. We try to adjust to what miners show up in an attempt to keep profitability decent, and when machines actually stay mining for longer periods of time we can make those adjustments knowing what hashrate is expected to be there. The price changes in BTC and sha256 alts also adds a bit to that number difference. We are still looking at quite a list of other coins to add that are going through our review process currently and will be added when ready.

If it helps in your planning I will be dropping my SHA down by about 50% in 2 days. Currently I'm about 32% of the pool - will drop it to about 35Thz and plan to keep it there as long as results are good :). The Neoscrypt will go away soon (I am all of that pool). Scrypt will stay at 2Ghz and also be steady state. Not healthy to be more than 15% of any pool so will dial it down a bit.

Would also be interested in what you are seeing on your end. I have left the 4 L3's without a diff setting. Seem to be running fine but your vardiff has them set at 120k and above. Moved the s9/t9s to 20K and seems like it might be a sweeter spot. It's all a math game with WU, etc but if you see anything on your end that would help me optimize I am all ears :)

I would also be very interested also. I have had no luck on NH with either SHA or Scrypt - have tried every conceivable diff setting and with and without #xsnub. For some reason the workers won't pick it up - I have even tried setting a very high price and no luck. Mining Rig Rentals works great. You do have to watch as will drop the pool occasionally and doesn't revert back from backup pool so have to manually switch it every so often.

Rental prices are dead cheap right now. I am having my solar re-done so I can get more capacity and it's actually significantly cheaper right now to rent S9s or L9s for a month on MRR than the cost of the power to run mine in Northern Ca. So shut the S9 and T9s off and got monthly leases on 3 machines. 3 S9s for a month was a little less than $1K. Power alone would have been $1300. Hate having machines just sitting there but ...

We actually have a couple users live on Scrypt right now using Nicehash and have had dozens use it over the last several weeks. I actually wrote a quick article on the main site to explain it, located here (https://gigarho.com/index.php/how-to/3-renting-hashpower-from-nicehash). There is even a picture of the connection details in the article which should be helpful.

As far as Nicehash for sha256, I have not seen a live user try it out yet, but the pool seems to pass the verification when I try it out using the same details except the sha256 port number and the recommended difficulty of d=1000000. Originally the sha256 difficulty of our pool was too low to play nicely with Nicehash, but it has since been adjusted and their pool verification passes our trial attempts. We'll probably give it a spin ourselves soon to ensure everything is also fine.

Going back to your other post, we don't necessarily see as much info about your devices as you do in the Antminer control panel. That being said I've seen many people on forums throughout the past year say that a set difficulty of 128,000 seems to be the sweet spot for the standard L3+ (assuming no Overclock of the chips). Personally I've tried a set difficulty of 128k and var diff and both seem to be decent when the pool sets a close value to that. Essentially the coin offerings, job size and other variables play a bit into what diff number is "perfect". If we get better info than what we have now, we'll be sure to update appropriately.

Here is the question :) When I set up either scrypt or x11 nicehash order, using BTC auto conversion, the pool always determines a conversion coin as Syscoin instead the BTC. I always use c=BTC notation and try 4 BTC addresses. Still no luck - syscoin. So what do you recommend to try?

UPD, Well I've got some luck with my NH address :) will stick with it for now.

Hello,

I looked into the system to see and I did in fact find an address that is currently mining using Syscoin as the payout. Your connection details look fine, the interesting thing is that when I perform a validateaddress on your BTC address its valid, and apparently Syscoin also thinks that is a valid address for it as well. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I have manually changed the system into now thinking you are a BTC address. We'll monitor your account as the balance begins to mature to ensure everything is smooth.

This is something we'll look into further, but I assume some SYS and BTC segwit addresses have similar formats, thus confusing the system. For the time being, we'll also disable SYS until we can confirm it isn't misunderstanding user's choice.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that since we made the change to BTC, your graph on the wallet page will appear a bit odd for the next 24 hrs while the system realizes the change in expected confirmations.

thanks for the quick response - not too worried about the L3s - they all seem to be doing fine on the site. On MRR you do get kicked to the backup pool on  almost every rental at least once a day. Easy to go in to set you back to main pool but it's a little annoying  Not sure why you are dropping and MRR isn't great with reverting back to the high priority pool (I don't think they even attempt it). The native Antiimers go right back to you but MRR stays with the backup pool and has to be manually reset.
I will try again later with NH - last week I couldn't get either algo to work as I said. I tried SHA at 1M and still wouldn't pick it up.

Sure thing, we also will try sha256 on Nicehash soon to see how it goes, been stable with Scrypt so far. As far as the drop, we occasionally do a few updates/improvements that leads to a quick restart. We try to keep it to a extreme minimum, but sometimes its necessary to improve. If its anything major we try to give advanced notice and set a time if we expect it to be anything longer than a few seconds.

Also do you have any feedback on the Neoscrypt algo while you were on it? I'm curious what you think could use improvement.

As far as the drop, we occasionally do a few updates/improvements that leads to a quick restart. We try to keep it to a extreme minimum, but sometimes its necessary to improve. If its anything major we try to give advanced notice and set a time if we expect it to be anything longer than a few seconds.

Also do you have any feedback on the Neoscrypt algo while you were on it? I'm curious what you think could use improvement.
thanks  - the Neoscrypt was a MRR rental - the pool performed flawlessly so all good. And returned really well based on the rental price at the time. Didn't have a single drop or issue. Math on that algo isn't as good at the moment - not from your side but from the rental side. X11 is much better right now.

Just looked at my 4 L3's - they are very happy campers on your pool. The two that are overclocked (only at 550Mhz) have minimal HW errors - guess I should overclock all of them! Having dealt with Bitmain I am not sure that warranty is going to be that useful anyway after I get the machines back after 12 months ;)

Hi there!

PLS HELP!

I've rented a rig giving it a LTC address to convert to. Unfortunately pool decided that it is LeaCoin :( Can you pls do something with that as I can't cancel the rent in MRR, can only give them other pool

the address LZgTamjbXWxVDvCHaZyAZY3fP3rrxzBxKj
thanx

thanks for the quick response - not too worried about the L3s - they all seem to be doing fine on the site. On MRR you do get kicked to the backup pool on  almost every rental at least once a day. Easy to go in to set you back to main pool but it's a little annoying  Not sure why you are dropping and MRR isn't great with reverting back to the high priority pool (I don't think they even attempt it). The native Antiimers go right back to you but MRR stays with the backup pool and has to be manually reset.
I will try again later with NH - last week I couldn't get either algo to work as I said. I tried SHA at 1M and still wouldn't pick it up.

Not sure if it's just an artifact of blocks getting confirmed taking longer but have been fairly steady state on SHA hash, and the payout numbers have been very consistent, but this is the first day in quite a few where my balance is short of the threshold. Kind of surprised just given that it's a relatively high volume of coins being mined so not clear on why it would take so much longer for things to get confirmed on a given day so randomly. Insight would be appreciated. Just we strange deviation from what's been a predicable trend.

Hello,

I looked at the address you linked, it seems that you put the password field as c=BTC, instead of c=LTC, so the system tried to find a valid coin that uses that address format LZgTamj.... and decided on LEA. That being said I have gone and changed it into LTC and it should convert over fine.

Just a note that the graph will appear awkward as the system originally thought LEA and is now using the Y-axis as LTC for the next 24 hrs beyond that point of switch.

There are a few things that I think could contribute to this, namely yesterday was a bit odd as C-bit had a very reduced difficulty compared to normal and as such our pool found a decent percentage yielding different proportions from other days previously. It has since stabilized so from this point onward we can try to assess the situation and see if it is more than just C-bit.

Pending balances take roughly 24 hrs to confirm from maturation of the found block, so today's numbers you see in your balance would be found blocks roughly 24-48 hrs ago or longer depending on confirmation time, this may be a bit of the residual "digibyte" effect when it caused a decrease in profitability while having bad luck finding that high difficulty coin. The 24 hr actual you see now should be a separate case compared to what has already matured.

We'll also look into this further to see if anything is off, but my best guess right now would be digibyte and missed opportunities as a result.

Thanks. Double word score for a very thoughtful and thorough answer. Certainly exceeded my expectations there - I didn't think anything questionable was happening, but it just seemed odd. The pending balance fine so I think you essentially nailed it.

I tried to ask a different question earlier and had it booted back by the"lords of the board" so going to word it differently and see how that goes. On MRR I have a choice of US, Europe, and typically Singapore for rigs. Do you have any suggestions about whether it matters or if one would be more optimal than the others on your site? My naive understanding is that with higher diffs the latency matters less, but would like to make sure I am as optimized as possible.

thanks again. I didn't back off the SHA as expected - assume you don't mind :). Still bizarre it's cheaper to rent the entire rig for a month than run my own but so be it until solar gets fixed for the S9s and particularly the T9s

Absolutely, and no problem, there are many things going on so even with what I listed there are other factors like BTC exchange rate as its risen quite a bit in the past few days. Some alts follow while others are stagnant at the moment.

As far as MRR locations, I'd say USA is probably a best bet for multiple reasons besides just latency such as stability. Latency plays a bit of a factor when the pool is sending job shares to each miner and needs to speak back and forth to the equipment especially when being relayed through MRR in a "hands-off" sort of approach. The cost effectiveness of a plan then also needs to be taken into account, if Singapore for example were to be a much cheaper option to rent over a period of 24hrs, then you would need to decide if that latency is going to reduce the hashrate earnings beyond what other locations would.

appreciate the feedback (once again) - as I said i pulled my SHA equipment waiting for solar to get to 30,000 kWh/month. Not easy in parts of california so in the middle of what I would describe as a creative process. Was really bizarre as I worded the original question (naively) differently regarding best location for rentals and I got "bitch slapped" big time by moderator. Lesson learned is don't ask where you are, ask where i need to be ;). lol. I really don't care about the former. Seems like rigs from europe work just fine. My L3S are home and US based so all good. SHA all rented, mostly US and some europe. Like I said very cheap right now. Haven't tried the Singapore rigs much. Am kinda locked for a month then can fire mine back up so all good. Great pool - really have been impressed with the results, and the open and responsive feedback. Pretty good aquantance of one of the other SHA Multipool operators (do your own math on that easily solved riddle). But just can't be bothered to deal with 20 crappy coins I have to go convert.
What do you think about adding Litecoin Cash (if it happens) to the pool (I do NOT want to start a debate on whether it is legitimate, good, bad, whatever). I am a miner and indifferent to politics but it's an interesting addition to the SHA ecosystem from a strictly mining perspective. #Moderater - please don't yell at me again :)

all good on the BTC balance thing - it just got backed up from a confirmation perspective. Looks like tomorrow will be close to .04 so that certainly makes 1 day insignificant. I assume your cool with me being in the 35% range with SHA. I don't want to hammer the pool and am not hopping. Plan to stay steady in the 75-100Thz range if all good. A slight change in earlier strategy.

Good afternoon pool team,

I've been running a little scrypt stick for a few weeks now and getting my little 80 cents a week (which is all fine and well for a single MoonLander 2!).

Last night, I felt froggy and snagged an X11 rental off MRR because the math for a few days appeared to come out in my favor. So far, that's proving true on my pending balance. However, my actual balance seems to have flatlined for far more hours than it normally does (I expect it from time to time because of the nature of the beast). Is this just a lengthy exchange delay? Mining on LTC address LcAHuVs5SuUgwQZCsMDd8hSr4m5KyGXWQW. Thanks!!!

We do have an API, more info is located here (https://pool.gigarho.com/site/api).

As far as Litecoin Cash, we already have it on our list for review. It needs to pass a certain number of checks to be added, such as is it stable, what exchanges support it, how difficult will it be on sha256, is the profitability worth it, etc. If it passes our verification and seems like a decent fit, then we will support it and add it as soon as we can. I'll announce more here and on the site if/when we have an update on it.

After looking at the wallet you provided, the y-axis balance figures are still immature for your x11 earnings. It takes roughly 24 hrs after you first turn on the machine for immature earnings to confirm. Since your scrypt rig is not nearly as powerful as the x11, it isn't pushing the balance line up as much as it used to since turning on x11. Based on what I see, the balance should start confirming around 10pm EST tonight and the combined balance graph should grow more parallel.

rigs on MRR have been super stable running on every algo I have tried (SHA, Scrypt, Neo). I am using d=30K for the S9's and they are hashing great. I wished MRR had a better mechanism then just rolling to the next pool if it has a problem, and not ever trying to revert back to the higher priority pool. Especially on SHA you do need to check periodically - I had 5 machines all roll over to Slushpool a few nights ago and had to go set them all back. Only 1 held on Giga for some reason. I mine enough BTC directly so don't like that happening. Otherwise pool running great. Depending on the day the payout is about 10pct higher that straight BTC mining. BTC diff probably going up next week so that number may grow depending on what they do - they have really jacked up over the last 3-4 weeks. Only getting about .093 BTC per 100Thz at the moment on Slush, and last 24hours on Gigarho is closer to .01. Keep it up!!

I would also be very interested also. I have had no luck on NH with either SHA or Scrypt - have tried every conceivable diff setting and with and without #xsnub. For some reason the workers won't pick it up - I have even tried setting a very high price and no luck. Mining Rig Rentals works great. You do have to watch as will drop the pool occasionally and doesn't revert back from backup pool so have to manually switch it every so often.

Rental prices are dead cheap right now. I am having my solar re-done so I can get more capacity and it's actually significantly cheaper right now to rent S9s or L9s for a month on MRR than the cost of the power to run mine in Northern Ca. So shut the S9 and T9s off and got monthly leases on 3 machines. 3 S9s for a month was a little less than $1K. Power alone would have been $1300. Hate having machines just sitting there but ...

We actually have a couple users live on Scrypt right now using Nicehash and have had dozens use it over the last several weeks. I actually wrote a quick article on the main site to explain it, located here (https://gigarho.com/index.php/how-to/3-renting-hashpower-from-nicehash). There is even a picture of the connection details in the article which should be helpful.

As far as Nicehash for sha256, I have not seen a live user try it out yet, but the pool seems to pass the verification when I try it out using the same details except the sha256 port number and the recommended difficulty of d=1000000. Originally the sha256 difficulty of our pool was too low to play nicely with Nicehash, but it has since been adjusted and their pool verification passes our trial attempts. We'll probably give it a spin ourselves soon to ensure everything is also fine.

Going back to your other post, we don't necessarily see as much info about your devices as you do in the Antminer control panel. That being said I've seen many people on forums throughout the past year say that a set difficulty of 128,000 seems to be the sweet spot for the standard L3+ (assuming no Overclock of the chips). Personally I've tried a set difficulty of 128k and var diff and both seem to be decent when the pool sets a close value to that. Essentially the coin offerings, job size and other variables play a bit into what diff number is "perfect". If we get better info than what we have now, we'll be sure to update appropriately.
I have quite a bit of BTC left at Nicehash that they are slowing releasing after the hack (that was a nice surprise as I just assumed that .5 BTC was long gone but so far they seem to be living up to their promise (well, 10pct so far)). Once the next round drops I will go give it another try. Will probably just test the SHA then cancel and use another Algo as have enough SHA for now. Particularly on SHA on NH, I hate having to constantly go back and see if prices have moved and my contract isn't live anymore. And the fixed contracts are pretty expensive. Just feels like I am getting gamed. MRR just is more predicable - and typically cheaper.  A lot of people love NH, an it is a little easier to use.
On the L3 point - I reverted back to vardiff and it seems fine. Not sure you changed anything but it now seems to be moving it between 120 and 240K nicely. Previously it just seemed like everything good pegged at 240K on vardiff. Have 4 pointed at you and they are all between 120 and 160K at moment. 3 are overclocked to 550Mhz, one is not. I may move another 3 or 4 over next weekend as returns look good.

A few days ago we tried using Nicehash for sha rentals again and have confirmed that one of our previous plans is a good option. Basically we want to be able to support a broad array of devices. People who still have miners operating in the GH/s range need a lower difficulty option and those using S9s or as high as Nicehash demands need a separate option so each category can run smoothly. I know we have been testing what would work best for everyone and we want to go through some further testing before making anything public. Making sure earnings are properly recorded is a big thing to ensure before making this live. Occasionally some of the sha restarts have been to apply some of these changes to see how machines adjust or improve with changes based on pool hashrate and machine type.

We are going through each algo and looking at what can be improved, many cryptos have increased in difficulty or decreased in profitability so we will continue monitoring each option as efficiently as possible. After many years in mining, I know how important it is to maximize your miner's efforts for time spent. There are a lot of things in the works that we think will help with that.

On your note about scrypt, we haven't adjusted anything difficulty-wise on our end, but the available selection of what cryptos the profit-switching is trying to find has a bit to do with what var diff is selecting. Certain coins just have better performance in job relay and we try to adjust depending on availability.

Thanks - I can certainly understand the competing priorities and would very much prefer stability and profitability over trying to accommodate every new "ask" be it from me or anyone. Would rather have your focus on finding the right coins and maximizing that.  I think the NH minimum diff is ridiculous personally. From and S9/T9/L3 and MRR perspective everything is running great. I get that some of the lower hash rate miners have different needs. Tough sledding in the ghz range on SHA these days. I have a 16 2pac rig (400 ghz) that I just point at Multipool's DGB port (and Moonlanders at the Scrypt DGB port). Big fan of that coin so just accumulating slowly that way. Maybe not profit optimal but neither its a freaking 16 2pac rig on a $300 49 port Eyeboot hub ;). You can't be everything to everyone but appreciate the loyalty to your miners. You guys are doing a great job and really fantastic on response time along with running a profitable pool. As long as the profits stay competitive, pool is stable, and is not too hard on the owned Antimers I am all good. You have (IMHO) the best SHA and Scrypt pool out there. No rig spin up and down on coin switch, and normally a decent premium to BTC/LTC only mining. And you listen to you members. Can't ask for a lot more. I use MPH a lot for Equihash and it's not nearly as graceful on coin switches. Multipool is a great site (I know the owner/operator reasonably well) but not having aftoexchange sucks for me and coin selection is lower. For some folks may be a good option for now as he does have a low diff port.

Hello,

For a period of about an hour, the MONK coin daemon created orphan blocks that artificially grew balances when the system believed they were real for a short period. The issue was fixed as soon as possible and it should now be functioning properly from this point on. MONK is a pretty large profit coin and is usually very difficult to find in comparison to other options that bring in regular and stable growth. The live x11 status page is the best place to see when these orphaned blocks happen if they do. The wallet page does not reflect any orphan blocks, but we leave them visible on the other page so you know what actually happened to each specific block.

We are working on something to make it more clear if situations like this ever do happen, but it is very rare regardless. I apologize for not updating site status sooner to inform of the situation, but we wanted to review everything on the backend to ensure it is fine moving forward.

Being able to select a payout currency by rig is just awesome! Not having to deal with exchanges or shapeshift for Verge and Digibyte is great. Very solid feature as I HODL and now can easily just time and rebalance by moving payout currencies. The problems I was having with my L3s kicking off a lot of errors when I selected a difference currency other than LTC seemed to have gone away. At least with DGB an XVG. I do with you had Zclassic (playing the fork) but get it you don't support that algo. Any plans to support Equihash in the future??

Originally I tried it with c=BTC on the L3 and had some issues. But seems to be smooth sailing. Thanks

We do have plans to support equihash in the near future, needs to go through a bit of testing to ensure smooth opening as it uses a couple different techniques than other algos. While we want to expand, I also want to make sure the foundation is solid, systems produce very little error and that the userbase is satisfied with what we offer.

At the moment we guarantee payouts in BTC and LTC, the other currencies are based on available stock and how well our pool does with finding those block rewards. We see a fair number of people signup and try to be rewarded in specific currencies besides the main two when we don't have those in stock at that specific time. That being said we'll notice and try to see what can be done to fill those if possible.

Any feedback/suggestion is always welcome and we'll see when we can put things into effect in as proper an order as possible.

Thank you for the detail

I am concerned that both my total and pending balance have not moved for about 6 hours. Is their an issue related to balance update?

Also what should my expectation be for daily LTC payment running 10 D3 & 1 L3+. Using your site for 48 hours and return about .51 LTC total, at the last site I was earning .45 LTC per day.

I took a look at the address you linked previously, and in the backend it appears that for the past few hours the mature balance is growing while your pending total is being converted into the confirmed balance ready for payout. The movement/confirmations you see now is all related to what happened exactly 24 hrs ago and what you found while active during that time period. The graph should be much more clear tomorrow once the MONK issue is no longer visible (the y-axis should adjust scaling and show your pending/balance movements more clearly). Everything is working as intended since we fixed the MONK issue several hours ago and should continue to. Regardless, we will continue monitoring to ensure everything is correct.

Correct, I have disabled it as soon as that occurred and will do testing before pushing it live again. It was working fine and passed our initial tests for the past 4-5 hours and then had issues again creating orphans.

Ohh - thanks for heads-up. Should I back off XVG and DGB then? I am not super concerned about daily payout frequency as am just going to hold coins anyway. But want to make sure I am not getting into a situation where I am not getting paid out in a reasonable amount of time. Happy to go back to BTC and LTC and just deal with it. Just seemed like a nice way to skip a step. Please let me know.

I have a couple of 8 card AMD 580x rigs arriving next week. Probably will stick native on ETH/Decred for a month but that window is closing so will be looking for somewhere to point them. MHP has some nice multi-algo features and can maybe get some value out of that $100 subscription to Awesome Miner I now have ;). Certainly not pointing it back at my Antminers anytime soon. Maybe if I just keep it in restricted (vs Privileged) mode will be better. The pool management on Antminers is pretty crappy (IMHO) anyway and I don't change it that often anyway. Also can easily access them remotely as is. But would be nice to have a single console to see how things are working.

If I don't hear anything I am going to switch off DGB and XVG tonight. Really don't want coins held up for an extended period of time and am throwing quite a bit of hash via Scrypt and SHA paid out in those coins at moment.

The "in-stock" amount we have of those coins is based on how well the pool does at finding them. As we grow it will become a lot easier to find and provide those as an alternative to just our current guaranteed payout coins. Its difficult to currently guarantee many beyond the main two of BTC/LTC, but everything is logged regardless and if we notice that someone selects a different coin, we'll see about making it an option if the situation changes in favor.

We are looking at a list of algos that we would like to support especially those that open opportunities for GPU/dual mining, etc. One of my main priorities is to ensure that if we do grow in that direction, that enough care is still given to the already existing algos and thoroughly test everything. We are close, but any issues that pop up are given immediate priority to fix and then monitor.

If you have any specific algo/coin requests, let us know and we'll see what we can do.

You might want to update you main page then - it lists available payout coins (DGB and XVG being on the fairly long list). Maybe I read it wrong but I didn't see anything clearly calling them out as not "guaranteed". Would be helpful is that was clearer. Not a huge deal - I am going to flip everything back as I am not even sure you are mining DGB at the moment (saw on earlier post you had pulled it - might have just been on one algo). But would prefer not to have things hung up for extended period.

Thank you for catching that, we are in the process of creating a knowledgebase for the site to further explain such things. Now that I know you are interested in those two specifically we'll try to support them sooner than others. Also we only disabled DGB for mining on sha256 as it was affecting profitability. It is still on Scrypt, but doesn't have great profitability at the moment so we don't search for it too often. That changes daily, and also they have a rather important update happening soon which will force an upgrade at that time.

Thanks. I switched everything back to BTC last night but do have unconfirmed balances for DGB and XVG. Once I hear that their is support for them I may switch a few rigs back to payout in those coins

The past few days have been generally rough for most of the coins on x11 in terms of value/exchange rate while LTC and BTC have risen during the whole LitecoinCash pump. With the downtime of x11 and the MONK issue yesterday x11 did not perform ideally, but we are looking at what other options as far as coins are a solid option. The 24hr estimate right now is promising and whatever else we can find on top of that will be helpful. We are going to be more strict in our deployment of new coin options to ensure issues stay to a bare minimum.

SHA returns appear to be slightly below straight BTC mining at the moment - I have 100Thz on Hashflare that has been paying (before fees) between .0092 and .0096 BTC per day. It's split across three pools. Interesting as Coinwartz and Cryptocompare (at 0pct pool feel) shows BTC at 0.00836 so not sure how updated their calcs are. I highly doubt difficulty on BTC has dropped so not sure why the large discrepancy but the real world returns don't lie. Hopefully can see the return here get closer to .01 or above :)

Each day is a different story, when BTC directly is up around 31% in value over a week it affects exchange rates of alts. Depending on if those alts follow BTC in value, stagnate, or fall effects their "profitability". Luck plays a factor, time, hashrate, momentary difficulty and much else. That being said, we have quite a few sha256 coins in testing right now to add which we believe will help. They will be rolled out as they appear ready for live usage. 3-4 have already been pushed live in the last few hours. We constantly look for new options, but my past experience shows that most of the time there are sha256 alts that are more profitable to mine than direct BTC.

Not complaining and plan to stick in here (I did have to give LCC a fun try last night - total scam alert as far as I can tell). I fundamentally believe there are higher returns in alts and realize it may not be every day. You run a great pool and are clearly focused on doing the best you can for your customers. That said, the steely and unemotional math is what it is so I will occasionally point that shit out. Keep doing what you are doing - great customer response, open communication when things aren't where you want them to be, and clear communication about what you are going to change for the better. That builds loyalty. I have every rig pointed right at you and would like to keep it that way :)

We've been monitoring it closely as well, many aspects of LCC are very volatile right now and make it difficult to support until things become predictable. If things do change to the point where we feel comfortable knowing that it won't affect miner's earnings negatively, then it'll be considered for deployment soon after.

We've added a decent amount of cryptos in the past few days and are working through our list to see what else would be viable. Lots of options, just need them to actually benefit our community.

There is nothing wrong that I can see, SaveTheOcean (STO) reports a bit differently where it doesn't immediately notify the wallet page that is has been found like the other cryptos do. It takes roughly 15-25 minutes to mature and report as found. At the moment I'm seeing around 26 blocks (3 of those being STO), so I assume that the last hour had a few more that are in the maturation process. Some hours are slow as we try to find higher difficulty blocks, some hours produce many small ones. It all varies on hashrate and what coins the pool is trying to find based on the profitability of that moment.

At the moment I'm seeing around 26 blocks (3 of those being STO), so I assume that the last hour had a few more that are in the maturation process. Some hours are slow as we try to find higher difficulty blocks, some hours produce many small ones. It all varies on hashrate and what coins the pool is trying to find based on the profitability of that moment.

Ok I am used to earning .45-.55 LTC per day at other pools. At your pool I am consistently at .27 daily. How much of the variance is due to your site versus the recent difficulty increase?

Thank you for your consistent and quality communication.

Absolutely and trust me we try to ensure that which coins we offer have the best outlook going forward. Each day becomes a different story based on not only coin difficulty, but also the profitability of those coins for that moment when it is found. On x11 specifically many coins have decreased in value relative to BTC's growth for the past few days and a couple have increased. The other factor becomes how many miners show up each day as they earn a share of what is found. The only factor that we have control over is what coins are put out there for our users to try and find. Everything else, price, difficulty, luck, etc is all external and we wish prices were where they were at in December, but with this rising difficulty prices haven't grown in parallel. We'll always be on the lookout for ways to improve things, especially what we think is the best fit for our community.

The number .27 you gave is based on how much is confirmed and paid to you in that day from your last matured balance payout. From what I can see, you still have a decent pending balance that is awaiting confirmation and also it seems you turn some machines on and off, so its hard for me to speculate what is going on without knowing your hashrate/machine average beyond the past 24hrs.

Regardless, our goal is to make sure we put good opportunities out there for everyone to find and we'll continue that.

Last 24 hours I have earned 50% of prior day or .16 LTC with 10 x D3 19.3 GH. Any new updates? Any new coins? Will it help performance if I adjust my difficulty from 64 to 92? Any ideas for better performance would be great.

I mentioned in my last post that we were going to be focusing on x11 and attempting to improve what we are able to improve. Since our last post, we have added a few new coins into the rotation and disabled a few that were causing "luck" to play too much of a factor. The results so far look promising as we have seen x11 go from hovering between 0.02-0.023 actual yesterday to now today it is currently sitting at 0.03393 mBTC/GH/day. We are still monitoring and helping out when and where we can.

A few notes, looking at your account that you listed previously, you have some periods of downtime (scrypt) and some on x11 as well. Not being live will of course affect daily rates. Also LTC is up in value 8-11% over the past 24hrs while Bitcoin and most x11 alts have stagnated or dropped so that exchange rate will naturally be a cause in daily difference. Another point I'd like to make is that even though you were paid 0.16156037 LTC today, you have 0.56LTC pending confirmation. In reality you have earned more than 0.16 in the past 24hrs, its just that the other x11 blocks haven't been confirmed or exchanged yet and are pending. Once they confirm and exchange it gets added to the balance.

We spent a lot of time recently researching x11 coin options that are able to be deployed. There are definitely a few more under evaluation to add if and when they become a confirmed benefit, but for now we have what we believe to be the best options that are sustainable. There aren't many things on your end that would improve the situation, its just where the x11 network is compared to months or even weeks ago. My goal is to make sure that you and the rest of our community can be mining the best options and we won't stop trying to get to that goal. The changes in the last 24 hrs will definitely help.

Not sure my question about LCC support was a good one - lol. Certainly all signs point to scam alert. One crappy Russian exchange, no real volume and no way to create a wallet on the exchange. Hmm.  At $5 - $7 the optics are very profitable to mine. But you can't get rid of them so not sure they read the full Satoshi white paper  8)

We've been monitoring it closely as well, many aspects of LCC are very volatile right now and make it difficult to support until things become predictable. If things do change to the point where we feel comfortable knowing that it won't affect miner's earnings negatively, then it'll be considered for deployment soon after.

We've added a decent amount of cryptos in the past few days and are working through our list to see what else would be viable. Lots of options, just need them to actually benefit our community.
Just happy a real exchange opened so I could finally dump it. I did mine it for a day out of curiosity. Given the transaction time in moving it to the exchange today, it appears not much miner activity. Well, at least the forkers made some money ;).

Nice to see the SHA hash picking up on the site. Good sign! Keep it up :)

Hello,

Pending balance is the amount of blocks that you are continuously finding, it seems like you had been mining steady and as a result your pending balance is growing. Also, it appears you had a period of downtime around 16-40 hrs ago at the time of this post and yesterday your balance wasn't moving because of the period of time you didn't mine on the pool. As you have returned, the balance begins to move again after the 24hr mark of your return of finding blocks with the pool. The pending "catching" the balance is all based on when blocks confirm and also how steady you stay connected to the pool to actually earn balance. Everything is working as it should and hopefully that answers your question.

Yeah exchange support does seem to be increasing, but still not enough to make LCC that profitable. Also the hashrate and difficulty of the LCC network appear to have pretty volatile swings that just wouldn't be decent for profitability at the moment. At the time of this writing its about 3-4x more difficulty to find than DGB and its value is down a decent amount as well. With BTC up again the ratio is dwindling with people dumping LCC, not enough buy support on the exchanges to prop up value. Also some exchanges don't even allow deposits even though they have their markets for LCC open. We'll still keep watching to see if the situation changes, but for now we are doing a lot more coin evaluations to add/swap in when it makes profitability better.

I may have missed if so apologies if you did this but would be great if you post advance warning of restarts - i get that some can't be planned. MRR just goes to backup pool and doesn't revert back. My own equipment reverted back fine.

one other question. Along with my S9's have 14 2Pacs running on a big hub with d=256. Its been behaving fine with minimal work restarts. But since the reboot the hash isn't showing up. the rig is as its the only d=256. appears fine on my side just not displaying hash on the site

its 15pCpgJpRoYv6f1BY2Jsck2zBTBKvFBBRF if you get a chance. has been running fine for weeks until the restart. maybe just reporting issue

In this case, we had several days worth of changes/improvements ready to deploy, but an issue that we deemed important to upgrade as soon as possible for the benefit of miners was the reason we didn't give advanced notice. Ideally we want to ensure that normal updates have advanced notice, but for issues where we believe an immediate deployment is the best case for everyone then we'll use best judgment going forward.

As for the 14 2Pacs, there is a change to diff that we implemented which could be causing that. I'll go ahead and look into it further to see if tuning the difficulty down in the range of the 2Pacs can be accomplished without hurting S9s and capabilities of that nature. I can manually make a change now and if you wouldn't mind giving me performance feedback tomorrow after it has had some time for you to see results,  I can then tune it further to optimize things.

Update: We made another change based on your feedback, so apologies that it probably knocked your MRRentals again, but based on what I'm seeing so far, it seems to be a decent health improvement for S9s based on difficulty. That being said we are going to spend more time the next few days coming up with a plan on how best to allow the 2Pacs and devices of that nature. With the current network situation of all sha256 coins, we want to make sure that finding blocks is efficient and as profitable for miners as we can make the pool from our end. The changes we made today allow smoother operation of S9s, Nicehash rentals and further tech as network difficulty keeps rising. I'll continue monitoring and adjust as I can to benefit you and others on the pool, at the same time we won't restart unless necessary from this point forward.

Thanks. the 2pacs were running fine, was just that the hash wasn't being reported. it finally showed up about an hour later. After the changes they are just constantly getting work restarts. Certainly suggesting you do anything that would comprise the S9s for 2Pacs ;). and yes they all dropped again It also looks like the d=  is no longer being supported on S9s or anything on SHA. thats probably why 2pacs aren't behaving as. no longer on d=512. Looks like
everything is set to 100k on sha. I will keep an eye on the S9s and 2pacs.  Have about 130 thz at moment on SHA so more interested in the S9s ;)

**** Update ***. Read it wrong. looks like all SHA is forced to 1M diff. going to fire up a couple of T9s also and see how it goes. will leave 2pacs on for weekend but at 1m they are going to be pretty ineffective. Interesting though - the pool set the 2pac rig at 125m and getting restart every min or so. The website doesn't seem to be showing hash rate for a lot of rigs. they are listed but no hash. Maybe just a lag.

**** Update ****. MRR rigs dropping like flies - they are just hanging. Not sure what happened. They are all S9 clusters. But have had 3 of them gomdark in last 15 min. They had been running fine for 3 weeks on your site. might want to look into this. Not sure if its the MRR layer or what  but rigs that had been stable now won't hash. A few would finally pickup after few minutes. Moved the others over to Slush and will try again later.

Ok, thank you for the feedback. From our end, what we have seen it terms of S9 performance (and similarly powered machines) has been an improvement. In regards to the d= field, the pool still supports this, its just that it only recognizes values that are close to the new overall difficulty (basically low and impossible values are ignored), this is probably what is happening to your MRRentals. I believe you had them set to d=20000 before the change, if that was the case, can I ask that you try omitting a set difficulty for now, just having c=BTC in the password field and we can see if that baseline approach functions fine? With the changes we made today, the pool should respond more effectively at setting a difficulty for the machine at a 6x improved rate of accuracy.

What we did today is meant to improve beyond what we have seen over the past several weeks and set everything up as best as possible for the next several months (assuming no hardware producer releases far advanced iterations of their tech). The numbers from our end seem promising, but we don't see how it is physically affecting machines, so we rely on input from you and others to fine tune the settings to support as many devices as possible. I definitely appreciate you being vocal with real-time data on how your machines respond to our changes, it helps us to know how we can make things better for you.  :)

Thanks. My own S9's and T9's are running like a charm. The high diff results in a lot lower error rate. The MRR's haven't dropped in awhile which is good. May just move the 2Pacs to Slush for now. It's only 500 Ghz so not a real needle mover. My "Utility" on the S9's has gone down to about 0.2 but that's a tricky number so assume you guys are optimizing on your end - obviously at the high diff going to finding fewer blocks. Presumably the one's we find are move valuable.
Haven't hear of anything eminent on the HW front, other than the 16Ghz Dragon but that's not revolutionary (looks like a tweaked S9 to me). Time will tell.

Just tried two new MRR rigs - both around 35 Thz. Won't pick up your pool. Not sure the "optimization" included MRR. Getting "high worker difficultly " warnings. Hoping you can fix this as use MRR a lot to supplement and is now almost unusable. One of them picked up after about 5 minutes but finally just moved the over other as to late to deal with it tonight. Hopefully can get this sorted out - seems like just pegging everyone at 1M isn't really "optimization". Thought Vardiff was supposed to help optimize rigs to the pool.

Problems just getting worse - pretty much everything on MRR is hanging - high diff errors. Did you guys reach out to them before doing this? Fuck NiceHash - MRR is such a better site and you kinda just screwed us. No d= setting. Damn everything has been working really well for last month. this is REALLY frustrating. Seriously - who uses a 1M diff floor (except Nicehash). Slush, Multipool, almost every other pool can somewhat gracefully use Vardiff to manage this. You just jammed a 1M diff and there are a lot of rigs and services that won't play well with that. I am sure the intentions were good but I am going to have to pull all 150thz of MRR off as can't risk it going into limbo, which is what is happening. Please fix this.

There were two changes we made to this yesterday, one of them has been reverted to previous settings (essentially a lower overall difficulty). Please let me know if this helps, the second change we made is definitely a health improvement and would like to keep it as long as its not effecting MRR. We will continue to tune to make it possible for as many devices/services as possible to work on sha, the range of devices stemming from back in 2012-2013 to today is a vast range to cover when they computationally don't work close enough. Ideally we want to find a solid middle ground while making sure we are set going forward.The S9s that physically connect look healthy on our end, something about how MRR splits up jobs to their rented rigs must be a cause for them specifically having issues.

Regardless thanks for letting me know about the MRR issue, hopefully this helps and if not we'll try to get it optimized asap.

I am sure the intentions were good but I am going to have to pull all 150thz of MRR off as can't risk it going into limbo, which is what is happening. Please fix this.

There were two changes we made to this yesterday, one of them has been reverted to previous settings (essentially a lower overall difficulty). Please let me know if this helps, the second change we made is definitely a health improvement and would like to keep it as long as its not effecting MRR. We will continue to tune to make it possible for as many devices/services as possible to work on sha, the range of devices stemming from back in 2012-2013 to today is a vast range to cover when they computationally don't work close enough. Ideally we want to find a solid middle ground while making sure we are set going forward.The S9s that physically connect look healthy on our end, something about how MRR splits up jobs to their rented rigs must be a cause for them specifically having issues.

Regardless thanks for letting me know about the MRR issue, hopefully this helps and if not we'll try to get it optimized asap.

I just put them back onto your pool - it appears they are sticking so I will keep my eye on them - Thanks

good news is they have all stuck on your pool. My MRR hash and overall sha hash rate is bouncing around way more than normal however. i am continuously bouncing between 100 and 150thz on your site, which wasn't happening previously. no idea what root cause is but before yesterday it was just pegged at 140thz with little fluctuation.

** Update ***
has really stabilized over last few hours. Local and MRR all running fine on SHA now. Thanks for your ongoing communication.

Thanks again for stabilizing the SHA pool. I get that trying to meet everyone's needs isn't easy. Put the 2Pacs on Slush and they are fine - I don't think you need to be optimizing for those right now. Stick with S9 and L3 effectiveness but MRR is important  - way cheaper and more reliable than NH albeit a bit more technical. All the MRR and L3's/S9's running great. I just ran some math and you are still smoking both Scrypt and SHA alternatives by a good margin. Not everyday, but in general has been 10 - 20 pct better than top coin on Wartz or Cointrackr. I will keep an eye on the MRR rigs - have a lot on LT so want to keep them with this pool. Again - really appreciate your responsiveness and flexibility.

If things are stabilised I'll bring back a few S9's here ... diff set too high for the S9 just increases variance and reduces chances of finding blocks.

Mine seem to be happy at d=10000, will move a couple back here later and see how it goes.

Agreed - 1M was just way too high - it would seem especially for alts. Obviously the pool operators know better than I do but my machines (and rentals) are way happier since they reverted back. My S9's are still at 262K which is pretty high. They were really cruising for a few weeks at 30K. I get that for straight BTC mining high diff makes sense. Just glad things are stable now. I am getting about 60 blocks a day on the S9's, about the same as the L3's.

Right now everything seems stable on our end and hearing feedback about how your machines are performing after enough time passes gives us a clearer picture to base our changes on. While we gather data from the current state of connected devices, we can see if adjusting it further is necessary, but only when we are required to do our next full restart/maintenance. If it were to make a stark difference we will do it sooner, but want to maintain consistency if possible.

In addition, we are continuing to look at our expanding list of possible coins and if they seem to provide benefit a few may be added soon. Its almost a nonstop effort to ensure we have a decent offering when we have to adapt to how the networks/markets are changing

Excellent - keep up the good work :). Any advance notice greatly appreciated on MRR side. Given how cheap SHA is right now I will probably grab another 50 - 100 thz for a month so good to know I can use it here. Wouldn't do it for straight BTC mining as have enough under contract there. Probably going to grab a few more S9's now that prices are down. Not sure how many more solar panels I can add (both physically and what my wife will tolerate).

Any idea when the XVG balance will pay? It's not a lot but just noticed it's been sitting there for a week. I am only doing BTC or LTC going forward - or will give you heads-up if want to switch.

Any coin that isn't BTC and LTC pays out when the balance that is pending for all balances across all accounts reaches the amount necessary to payout. That is based on how many blocks of that specific coin we find as well unless its something we provide manually. Depending on a few factors, that may be in the next couple of days, otherwise I'll manually see to it if luck doesn't play out ideally.

I'm honestly a bit surprised Bitmain hasn't introduced an S10 or L4 yet, but maybe slowed production and price on the S9/L3 are indicators of that happening? Also I'm sure their BitcoinCash holdout isn't performing as nice as they hoped with everything going on with China and their proposed mining regulations. Time will tell I guess...

Good point. I hope the next gen is a few months off. Let things settle - on the other hand having more power efficient miners would be nice but it's sort of a race to the bottom ;)

BTW - MRR SHA rigs all just dropped in last hour. Not sure if you changed anything or was just a coin switch hiccup.

I think your right they may be coming out with new models. I just received a message with huge coupons for previous orders I made, and they dropped the S9 to $2K with PSU. So essentially I can buy them for $1200. I somehow doubt that's going to seem like a good deal in a month ;). Wasn't long ago they were $3200.

Curious as to why SHA payouts have dipped so low. Showing estimates well north of .08 but actuals well below that (.073 last 24 hours is pretty low, and substantially less than straight BTC mining ). Guessing it may be poor Alt performance relative to BTC in this crazy/shitty market.

Thanks

Your assessment is pretty spot on, nearly every cryptocurrency has had below average market performance this week as a result of the Mt. Gox / FUD situations. There has been a bit of rebound today, and from an upcoming economics standpoint things look decent. From our end, we see that roughly 30% of the sha coins that we offer mine at a more profitable rate than BTC currently (as of this moment).

A lot of the exchange rates on alts depend on how many people are buying to sustain price levels of equivalency. In the current situation where BTC has dropped so much, buyers seem to be waiting for the waters to calm before getting on board again. The weekend is usually a historical time for that, so I'm hopeful personally. On top of that, we are still looking for more options to swap in and help out profitability when/where it makes sense.

On a side note, we have something in mind that might be a decent fix for the 2Pacs you had connected before, but we want to apply that on our next full maintenance. Once we have tested our next version and have a decent amount of confidence in its integrity, we'll announce that date.

Working now thank you.

There is an error with the "actual 24hr" amount for x11.

Code:
{"name":"x11","port":5555,"coins":35,"fees":1,"hashrate":417683532690.112,"workers":31,"estimate_current":"0.00003249","estimate_last24h":"0.00002970","actual_last24h":"0.02930","hashrate_last24h":711375399784.3993}

"actual_last24h":"0.02930" would mean a single D3 could earn $6000 a day.... please double check these figures and ensure they are accurate and true. It should be BTC / GH .. i suspect your figure is BTC / TH ?

I've tried using the Profit Factor setting in Awesome Miner but it doesn't change anything. However this may be an AW issue so will contact them about it too.

Thank you.

For the API, it seems x11 has the estimate pegged at BTC whereas the actual has it in mBTC. I'll see about getting that properly set soon.

When you say for the PF setting..."it doesn't change anything", what do you mean by that? There are a couple things I could tweak that may be of help.

Oh, by the way, I was able to get AM working fine with my Antminers per you suggestion a few weeks ago. Trick is to disable the "Auto" privileged API function and just do each machine manually (or in bulk). The auto function keeps retrying and eventually freezes the rigs. All working great now. Now would love to get your sites profit estimates in there!

Ok, thanks for letting me know about that. From my trials, auto doesn't have the same effect, maybe its a difference in firmware version of the machine or something similar? At least that seems to work for you and your feedback gives me some info when referring AM to others.

I have a similar question. Your API using a different naming convention than YIMP (different tag name for algo) but it still works, you need to tell AM the name of the algo as it is shown in the return results for the API

Having a hard time determining whether to use current, Estimate, or actual. I have a few rigs that profit switch once a day based on profit of the pool. I was using estimate but your Scrypt just jumped to 0.02 which showed about $200/day per L3. Any advice on which is the best selection for this?

We haven't done anything which should differentiate the naming convention of the algorithms that I am aware of, regardless I'll look into it for you.

Out of the different numbers to choose from, 24hr actual is the previous 24hrs so it is a decent idea of reality but does not anticipate the next 24hrs which is what you tend to want to look for with potential earnings. The current estimate is decent, but is an "in the moment" type of calculation, such as when the difficulty of finding a highly profitable coin exceeds normal standards.

As for the 24hr Estimate, it takes a lot into account and is usually a good determining factor to use (we normally exceed it for Scrypt in actual values), but today there was an issue with a particular coin's network that ramped up values beyond realistic, hence the .02 number you mentioned. Its a very rare occurrence that can happen, but disappears 24hrs after the instance took place and the 24hr estimate should stabilize back to normal at that point forward.

Thought I'd break it down a bit like above, but TLDR: Current Estimate >= 24hr estimate(on normal day) > 24hr actual

That is just my personal opinion, others may disagree in priority. There are a lot of factors that play into it and its hard to guess how luck is going to effect it.

Thanks - that was helpful. I was using the 24 hour estimate but then saw to .02 swing and wasn't quite sure what was happening. That's my preferred.

My point on the the tags for your results I believe the standard Yimp tag is <AlgorigithmApiIdentifier> and looks like you are using "name". Doesn't matter, If you put the algo name in AM as returned by your api (i.e. scrypt) it figures it out just fine. But have to be sure to type the algo exactly as the api returns and it's case sensitive. Works great for me. Was a little bummed I wasn't making $220/day per L3+ though -that would have been nice ;)

Hey again,

All found blocks usually take around 24 hours after they are found to mature/confirm/exchange, so in regards to your account...it seems around 4am EDT today you ramped up sha256 and around 6:30am EDT on scrypt (at least on the wallet address you linked). From what I can see, you are above the 0.005 BTC minimum for today's payout, so it should happen normally. The pending on these new miners should be confirmed about 24 hours after the two times I listed above for each of those machines respectively.

If I remember correctly, is this a second/different wallet address than you had used previously? I only see one miner on scrypt, where you said you had two or three running prior to yesterday. If that is the case, then each wallet address is handled separately for purposes of confirmation, payout, accounting, etc. I apologize if I misunderstood or am thinking of another person.

Interested to get your take. have been using the site for months but first time I have seen this much of a lag. Also first time I have taken hash up this high.

Thanks

Hey again,

All found blocks usually take around 24 hours after they are found to mature/confirm/exchange, so in regards to your account...it seems around 4am EDT today you ramped up sha256 and around 6:30am EDT on scrypt (at least on the wallet address you linked). From what I can see, you are above the 0.005 BTC minimum for today's payout, so it should happen normally. The pending on these new miners should be confirmed about 24 hours after the two times I listed above for each of those machines respectively.

If I remember correctly, is this a second/different wallet address than you had used previously? I only see one miner on scrypt, where you said you had two or three running prior to yesterday. If that is the case, then each wallet address is handled separately for purposes of confirmation, payout, accounting, etc. I apologize if I misunderstood or am thinking of another person.



You are correct - this is a different address than previous. I switch them occasionally. I rented a 1.7PH machine for a day but didn't seem to work so put it on MiningDutch and then moved a bunch of stuff here. The other L3's are on a Scrypt address, only 1 is on the above BTC.

thanks for clarifying

Yes, this should be possible. If you would like to post your wallet address here or open up a support ticket on the site, then we should be able to take care of that change for you.

Fixed it for you, should now work properly. Most likely it appeared as LBTC before if you had the c=PINK password field missing when you initially connected.

Your 24 hour Scrypt estimate is showing 1.5?? That seems a little ridiculous ?? All the other appear fine but that's the one I use.

Verge had an attack on its network today for a period of around 3 hours, created issues for Verge and pools receiving improper difficulty values. We updated to their recent fix almost immediately, however we are monitoring to ensure everything is as stable as their dev team is indicating.

On the exchanges that service NewYorkCoin, there are currently no buy orders, hence the coin temporarily has a value of 0 when exchanging other coins. Until buy orders start appearing for NYC, the system leaves the earnings in a pending state while waiting for orders to open up. This happens to ensure that when mining, we look for the coins that are achieving decent exchange rates through the transition into our guaranteed payout options of Bitcoin and Litecoin.

Everything is logged and should resume upon the value returning NYC to earlier rates. In the meantime, we strongly suggest only using Bitcoin or Litecoin as payout options on our pool, they don't have the type of issues that these other coins have.

Out of the 149 coins that we currently mine, there are a couple that we have noticed to be slow. Sometimes their individual networks take a bit longer to confirm as they don't mine as often for profitability reasons.

As far as the exchanges, everything seems fine or at least close to normal. A few coins had updates this week which may have caused a pause while they were down, but its necessary to ensure we stay on the right chain at all times. No other changes were made that should effect timing. We'll be monitoring and improving where we can as the markets fluctuate.

Usually I see a 4-6 hour lag between mining and BTC actual, now it's >20h

On the plus side, Neoscrypt has been incredibly lucky hitting 2 FTC blocks :)

Hi. First time on your pool, Is it normal that after 24 hours I still have pending 0.026 ltc and balance 0.00?

Hello,

For new accounts, the first day's worth of pending confirmations can take around 24hrs depending on the blocks that were found. For example some coins have many confirmations on their individual networks and drawn out time in between blocks. The exchange/confirmation process should start converting those earnings from pending into balance soon.

You can always send us your wallet address by PM if you would like us to take a look to make sure everything is correct with the connection settings. Most likely though the balance should start exactly 24hrs after the first block earning is confirmed.

Hi!

I wanted to put my some S9s to Gigarho, but Miner Status on S9 browser said "Dead" and no S9s could get in.
I tried several times, but still the same.

Is there any way to put those on?

Thank you.

Hello,

Sure, I can try to help you figure out if there is an issue. We have this connection example on the homepage:

Antminer S9 Connection Example
URL: stratum+tcp://mine.gigarho.com:4444#xnsub
Username: 18X4BMUhhuew1wuANiYQdJfTPt4MZzvrdc
Password: c=BTC

Can you verify that in the URL you have the proper port 4444? Also maybe try the password field as: c=BTC, d=128000

Beyond that, there shouldn't be issues...maybe try to restart the S9 after you have the correct connection details in?

If you still have issues feel free to let us know on here, by PM, support ticket, whatever works for you. Hope this helps.

Hi

It's a good small multi coins pool :) Working well with my Futurebit Moonlander 2! It's rare to be noted... I hope that not change :)

Here is the setup used for BFGMiner and Asic USB Key Moonlander :

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://mine.gigarho.com:3333/#xnsub -u YOURBITCOINWALLETKEY -p "d=256,c=BTC" -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=672
pause

I tryed some difficulty of 128 or 512, but the better result for me is 256 :)

Keep up good job!

PS: Add more scrypt coins :)

I have tried connect 20+ l3+ to the pool for few hours, but the hashrate is 10-12Gh/s and the reject % is 10-25% . (Hashrate is 14.2 on litecoinpool.org)
What is the difficult number (d=?) should i set? It will improve my reject rate?

Hello,

Currently we only ensure payouts in Bitcoin and Litecoin, but there are plans to add more options in the future. We have gotten a handful of requests for DASH, so its higher on the list than others.

We'll be sure to announce if/when that changes. Thanks

Hello,

Generally most people recommend around 128,000 as the difficulty for a standard L3+ (assuming you are on the 504 MH/s model and not overclocking to a higher frequency). If you do any overclocking I've seen people around 268,000 or so when pulling 720 MH/s on some models.

So basically I'd recommend by default d=128000 and maybe adjust around that to see if your personal machines/connection respond better.

Thanks

(Side Note: I did notice someone last night try around 1,280,000 difficulty, which could cause issues for the machine/connection to achieve 504MH/s on that job share size)
