Not sure if this is the place to post this, so I apologize if it's not.
We setup our own mining pool to test some new mining hardware. We are mining GameCredits using MPOS and NOMP.
The current block reward for GameCredits is 12.5. Every time we find a block, the transaction shows 3 payouts, a 12.3 payout to our wallet, and two more payouts to two different wallets. It does this every time for the exact same amounts.
We have done recursive searches on all the files, checked every config file, etc. and we can't find any trace of the other two addresses. I did a Google search on the two addresses and the exact same addresses are tied to GlobalToken and Gulden.
Here are the addresses:
GfSu2SVihVv3PG5TVBBhtQDxbb9xuHcekC
GLzSpCwRXdwthgqKBsfVGWqBviMoMsZJPE
Has anyone seen this before? Those addresses have to be somewhere in the GameCredit's SRC or something similar but we can't find them.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
I have no experience with that type of pool, but one is probably a developer fee the other a pool fee. Could be a developer fee for the pool software and another for the mining software. Wish I could be more help. |

Like what you're doing here man I pointed my rig at your pool.  The chat and projections would be a dope idea too, let's mine some eth bois! -miner ..2480d Something with my estimated earnings syntax was off, killed the whole stats window, I quickly changed it back to a working version. Just gotta figure out what I did wrong. Depending on how drunk I get tonight or how long I'm going to be gone tomorrow, I should get the chat up and running in a day or two. Probably tomorrow night. |

A telegram chat would be nice and very easy to setup.
I'll look into that, currently working on setting up an ETC node as well, will be etc.noobpool.com and will keep eth at noobpool.com |

I like the statistic numbers you have for percentage of round shares. Would be nice to show a total by hour of jobs or shares successfully submitted and if possible for each miner. In 3 days, i've accumulated a 5% share with my 35MH miners running 24/7 thats an amazing improvement to other large pools, based on expected return. I'm still way ahead of the other pools when the first block is found by several weeks.
This really is a chance for the small guy to get a bigger portion of the block win. What happened in 3 days would take 3 weeks with another large pool. I've seen some larger miners jump on and then jump off instead of staying around for the endurance round. I think staying with the pool now is most important as we are getting closer to finding a block. It's not a matter of if but when and the when should be sooner. Imagine jumping out a day before the first block is found.
Even if someone only mines for a day and leaves, they will still get their payment once a block is found if they mined enough to reach the 0.05eth threshold. So even if they are not there mining when the block is found, they get paid for the help they did give. I'm still working on improvements to the website to show more detailed statistics so people have a better idea of how much they are mining and an estimate of how much they will earn when the block is mined. |

Did I lose these 76 shares?
No. 22.74 Mh/s worth it for Ethereum mining? (I live in Belgium)
Depends on how much you pay for electricity. How much is 1 share of ethereum worth?
Depends on the difficulty you're mining at. Also this is the Bitcoin mining subforum, not really anything to do with Ethereum. Actually it's altcoins, so ethereum is still considered an altcoin, so he posted in the right place. Although he posted under pools it probably would have been better posted under mining. |

HI - I am interested is this as well - based in South Africa
Could you give a quick break down of the software that you are using - might consider setting up something similar for myself and a few friends
thnx
Setting up your own pool is a pretty big undertaking, you need a Linux system setup with a fast internet connection on a SSD if you don't want to wait days to sync up. If you don't know Linux you will probably not be able to set it up as there are no windows pool software that I know of. |

I setup a mining pool for new miners. It's focused on the more casual miners, people with lower hash rates (but others are welcome), simple instructions to be up and mining in minutes. It's built using the open ethereum pool source, and still looks a bit generic as I haven't spent much time to customize it yet. The pool is setup on a dedicated, hosted server, 1gig network, 8 core super fast system. Payout is set at 0.05 and set to run payouts every 10 minutes. People have been hesitant to join because it's not one of the BIG pools out there so they feel it's not stable or won't be around long. I can assure you it's very stable and will be around a long time. I've already paid 2 years of hosting for the dedicated server. Hash rates are going up as more people join. Although this pool is designed for the smaller hash rate miners, larger rigs are welcome. We can handle whatever you can throw at us. Just visit http://www.noobpool.com to get started. Hi noobpool, I hope you'll read this reply. I am mining on your pool and I'll stay there till we'll find a block. My account is 0xf6ad221... I think would be useful if you add a way to contact you on the pool website. Bye bye Yeah, I'm going to set that up soon as well. email is noob@noobpool.com in case you need it. I do check these forums often. |

Ok, Here's an explanation for NOOBs. While your pool doesn't show actual shares of ethercoin like the big pools do, yours does show the percent shares of the current pool when a block found and paid out. So, the question for the big pools is how can they promise you shares of ether for each nonce successfully solved without a block solution? Statistics and I would guess more money for the pool somehow.
In a way, in the beginning here, your pool is similar to mining solo. payouts are bigger if you can do it, but a 20M Hash GPU could take a whole year to find one. Because our pool is small the rewards are greater when we find one.
Now, based on your pool I calculated with the help of coinwarz calculators at todays difficulty how long it will take to mine.
I'll setup 500MH is about 25-30 days or with LUCK(the statistical chance) the block will be found sooner.
At 1GH that's about a block every 10-14days and it goes up from there.
at 2 GH that's a block every 7 days.
I would expect exponential growth in this pool once we have found a block or two. This will help the group find block quicker and payouts will slowly get smaller. Thus, first one in gets larger payouts.
While we can't see a chart or statistic of what we are making, the percent of the round share is the indication of how much you'll get when a block is found.
So, as an example, I'm at 3% that's .15 Ether paid out to me on the solution of a block.
With nanopool that would take me about 15 days. I've got this share in just under 24 hours of mining noobpool, that's huge. No win until we discover a block but when we do I am way ahead of nanopool. As time progresses my success decreases but this gives us 14 days to find a block and with more miners joining the faster we find the block.
Now, my share may go down as more miners join, but we will also solve the block sooner.
This pool is a great opportunity to be first at something before everyone else jumps on board.
Early bird catches the worm and I think we will get this first.
every moment your GPU runs it is mining on statistics and luck to find every NONCE. I look at the NONCE finds and compare that to finding a block. Eventually it will happen. Not if, but when, even on a small pool such as this.
So, for those of you who get in early and stay with this I think the rewards will be greater, even though you can't see them until a block is found. Especially for us 15-30MH GPUs.
Our pool rate has been hovering around the 500MH/s for a few days now, hopefully we can get it up to 1-2GH/s so we can find blocks faster and people can get their eth faster. I'll soon be implementing an estimation of how much eth you'll receive once a block is found on your stats window. |

Hello,
I set up wrong ETH deposit addess in ethminer. I mined about 0.23 ETH already over there. I am using nanopool eth. Is it possible to change this address to new one to withdraw money somehow?
You can start using your new address, just change it in your command line when starting ethminer. As for what you already mined, if you don't own that wallet I don't think there is anything you can do. The administrators of nanopool could possible help you, but with no real way to prove that you were the one who mined it, you might have a hard time getting the eth. |

Right now what I like is once a block is mined we should all see a payout immediately because there are few of us here and the percentage is much higher than other huge pools. A great statistic for each miner would be a record of hourly nonces mined which I think determines the statistical percentage of work performed. but you do show the round share percentage which is very convenient and updates much quicker than other pools.
Its just getting used to not seeing that data until a block is found. I track that 'A' number and my GPUs are finding more per hour than on the bigger pools.
I'm working hard on some updates, like graphs, email notifications, and estimated earnings, as well as updating the look of the site. The pool is only a week old, so it will take some time to get everything else implemented, but I'm working on it. Hopefully we can get a block mined soon then we will have a payout list which will make new people more confident that they will be paid and increase our hash rate. |

Hi,
I'm currently starting mining at your pool with 180+hm. I'm just curious, why there's no payout records in your website. When did you start this pool? Thanks.
There have been no payouts because the pool hasn't mined a block yet, once a block is mined it will distribute the eth to everyone and send out payments. The pool is fairly new, been around about a week or so. Once more people join and our hash rate increases, blocks will be mined faster and payouts will come faster. |

I might join the noobpool after a while but I checked the stats on the page and I see that the hashrate is very low being honest.
Miners Online: 6
Pool Hash Rate: 156.28 MH
A rig has more Mh/s than this, anyway I wish you good luck guys, I'm not aware how a mining pool is created but the 0% fee is a good thing to get started and to attract more and more miners to join your pool.
I will mine tomorrow probably at 130 MH/s at your pool and I assume I will get the payment within 24 as It is expected to earn 0.057 within 24 hours.
That's how it works, everyone sees a low hash rate and skips over to another pool that has a higher one, so our rate doesn't go up. It also can change pretty fast, since you posted that message the number has jumped to 10 miners and hash rate is closer to 400. As far as payment goes, once a block is mined it splits the payment to everyone who contributed and then it shows up as their pending balance. Every 10 minutes the system checks to see if anyone has reached the threshold of 0.05eth and sends payment. So if you mine for 24 hours and a block isn't found in that time, you won't get paid right away, once a block is found you'll be credited for your work and payment sent. So even if you're not mining after 24 hours and we mine the block a few days later, you'll be paid at that time. The bigger pools work the same way, but they have so many people mining that they find blocks very fast and therefore you see your amount owed update more often. Doesn't mean you're making more, just seeing it update faster. |

Yea, one feature would be a setup section for active miners where we could enter an e-mail, if we wanted to, and set notifications in case a miner goes offline and/or highlight the miner as not producing/reporting within 1/2 hour or 15 mins or some interval.
So, with fewer miners online, once we get a successful block hit this means larger payouts by percentage in the pot correct? Based on percentage work history. My theory being that if we hit once or twice a month the payout could be much greater, in the beginning, for those in the pool compared to other large pools, right? A plus for the small miners.
Yep, with only a few people mining we should make more in the long run. Of course luck is a factor, but if we get lucky we will get bigger payoffs than with the bigger pools, it just takes us longer. I'm looking into adding more features like graphs, etc. The email would be nice, maybe have it send an email notification when a block is found as well. Oh, and you asked earlier, the server is located at a datacenter on the east coast and I live on the west coast, so it's a little more of a pain in the ass to remote connect to make updates, especially since I have the slowest internet on the planet. But it's the fastest available in the little town I'm in. |

I actually posted on that thread (Danx) and said that I was using the correct gas limits. I'm also working on the website to add more features and an easier way to contact me.
The low combined hash rate we have means a long time between finding blocks and therefore people don't see their eth going up, which it only does after we find a block. So new people will mine for a couple hours and still see 0 and leave for the bigger pools that find blocks every 10 minutes so they can see their amount going up faster.
It would be nice to get up to a few GH/s and see a block every few days. I'm trying to find some GPU's to build a nice rig to increase our hash rate as well.

Hopefully we can keep the MH/s for the pool at 200+ and should be solving a block sometime this week I hope. But if more people join in, it will go faster.

First, you shouldn't compare your chart to someone with a 10,000MH/s because even they will get small fluctuations it just won't look like much. 1 50MH fluctuation won't look like much on a chart of 1 to 10,000 whereas even a 10MH fluctuation will show up with a 60MH max speed. So their graph will look more like a straight line than yours.
Shares are not an exact hasrate / time. There is luck involved. So in a 10 minute period you might find 20, and in the next you might find 2-3.
Your reported hasrate is your exact hash rate at the moment it was reported, usually every 15-30 seconds. Calculated hash, I believe with nanopool I could be wrong, is a calculated rate where they assign a specific rate for shares. So if your calculated rate is higher than your average rate, your luck is better than average and you're finding more shares than expected.
Only way to find more shares is hang a horse shoe over your rig, wear green, or just add more GPU's.
As far as what's more profitable to mine, that's a matter of opinion. I only my ethereum, hell I have my own pool. I believe the value will go up a lot over the next year so I want as much of it as I can get. Short term, sure, zcash probably will bring in more. But lets look back on this next summer and see, people will be wishing they had mined Ethereum too.

I have removed the pool feel completely. At least for a couple months.

192.168.X.X is a local ip address for your router, not an ip address that can be accessed from the internet.

I've lowered the pool fee to 0.25% and the pools hash rate has gone up a lot. So we should start finding blocks soon if it keeps going up like it has.
