WOW!!!
Who do I thank? Crackfoo? Others?
Thank you for fixing the Lyra2r2 pool. I don't even recognize it today... hashrates are through the roof, we just got 3 mona in less than 10 minutes... That used to take hours... Seriously, the Lyra2r2 pool was recently having a race to the bottom for dubious honor of solo mining performance status!
Seriously, when you spend 50K on mining equipment, it really pisses you off to not even be in the ball park of the hash calcs for your daily performance. Then we end up blaming the pool, and assume they are somehow stealing our hard earned coin.
I noticed that MobileCoin crap isn't in there today. Honestly, I had to leave that pool yesterday... I literally was saying to myself... and I'm going to share my thoughts here with you so you know what your customers are thinking and you won't have to guess:
"WHY ARE WE WASTING OUR HASHING POWER ON A WORTHLESS COIN THAT PAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Doesn't that just introduce inefficiency into the system? Would we be better off without the pat on the ass every 60 seconds or so? I really don't need the psychological reinforcement that I am mining something that pays nothing... I'd rather have my daily payout at least come close to the calc numbers...
I need my money back with profit!! [insert your own explative]!!"
So I abandoned the pool.
... then you went and hauled off and seem to have fixed the damn thing! The big 3 are coming in nicely. What did you do? Can you share? From admin to admin, I'd really like to know what had things so fubarred? I know I am blaming MobileCoin, when there may not even be a causal relationship... whatever the RC, I like the changes you've made.
I do wonder, if keeping Unitus is worth it though... do we make more with it, or are we just taking hash power away from the big 3 that folks really care about: vert, verge, mona? (feel free to educate me on this point, as I am sure I don't understand enough about how this works)
Seriously, thank you for fixing the Lyra2r2 pool!! You guys are my heroes!just me running this pool.
Can't say I done anything specific other than have a new server ^_^ but the hashrate has grown significantly which in turn almost always makes it more profitable. The same could be said for scrypt and x11 if only more miners would come on board. Just how it works. I think the pool/algos with a good amount of hashrate will almost always be good profitability. Just need to hashes. x11 and scrypt are floatind around at minimal hash so their profitability varys a lot.
Well if you look at the value in the pool, it's not much, but its that much more to your BTC/MH/Day.
And please, take a good read on the bitcoin wiki about auxpow. It's not a waste but when one of the aux coins are a lot lower in diff, it makes it look like you're getting nothing but you are.
Except for mobilecash since its only on Ccex and well... they're on holiday so I've disabled them
