Coins still mature and get traded, even though my workers are idle now, do they ?
Yeah, they do. Should. There are some issues, possibly bugs like the CGB one, preventing some coins from being matured and traded. But it's not a huge amount, and there are higher priority issues I need to work on right now. |

Final update :
I gave up.
Pointed one rig to you for an hour or so, and voila : things started to move again.
Finally got my last payout, now leaving only some dust behind, you can keep that as a donation for all your good efforts. ( pun intended )
Thanks for not adressing my issue and for not answering my concerns nor my postings.
I did answer your questions. I fixed an issue with some CGB being stuck in the immature state. So those of you with a little stuck immature balance will see some of it move over to your balance.
Not all the stuck balances have been freed. Just the bugged CGB. The rest of it is mostly coins in daemons that I have stopped, that I need to restart for a bit, to flush out the immature balances.
So I partly fixed it. I have a lot to do though, so I have to prioritize. I think you (or someone) did bring up a valid point earlier about being able to cash out the "dust". I think what I should do is if you haven't been paid in over 3 days, do a payout even if you have less than 0.01 BTC, but over 0.001. What do you guys think? |

what do u think is the reward to cpu-mine with 10 PC's on your pool?
I don't know what the hashrate of CPUs is. Add it up and multiply by the recent pool profitability, shown at http://middlecoin.com/profitgraph.html |
|
|
|
why ?
is the hashrate too low?
As far as I know, mining primecoin with a CPU is much more profitable than mining scrypt. Or at least it was last time I looked at it. |
|
|
|
Yes i use cpu mining...is that bad?
Another question how many cpu mining Computers can mine on the same adress(worker) with several ip's ?
As many as you want. You shouldn't be mining scrypt with a CPU. You should be mining primecoin. Look at http://ypool.net/ |

Is there an explanation for the horizontal sections of the earnings chart?
I was doing some server maintenence, so the stats weren't updating, so the chart was stalled for that portion. |

|

The stats page is now updating, once again.

The web page update is disabled for a few hours while I do some upgrades.

I was trying to think of cheats that work if the pool just divided total pool income by shares submitted. My examples might not be the best... Most cheats don't harm the pool as a whole so much as does the steady 'set it and forget it' miners.
Back to the subject of dividing up the hash rate into smaller units though. I never looked at pool software but it seems like it's all about routing shares for miners to solve as they need them, plus accounting. If you could break the multiple coin mining jobs into single shares and and pass them out at random it would be fair and cheat proof. "If You Could". I'm guessing that there's an overhead to switching coins that makes that less efficient. Right?
Ah yeah, that would cheat the other miners out of money, if my pool divided total pool income by total shares of every coin. There is too much overhead in switching coins to switch every single share. Or even every few minutes. |
|
|
|
Of course one cheat would be to detect the when you switch to a "hard" coin that has lower shares per time and go elsewhere until it switches to an "easy" coin. Then come back full force. Then get paid off per share at the same rate as the guys that stayed the whole time. So "hard" coins are ones with high reject rates? I don't consider that cheating. People should feel free to do that. It won't lower anyone's profits. In fact, it might increase them. But there's really no reason to, unless that particular miner has much higher reject rates than others in the pool. |

Is the pool currently splitting shares of each coin mined? or is it spiting shares after the coins have been traded into bitcoin?
Once the pool changes to a new coin are the current open shares lost? Or do they roll over to the next coin mined?
How long do shares last? 1 round or more?
The shares are split for each coin mined, individually. If I split our profits as a whole pool, proportional to shares submitted, and not for each coin individually, there are ways people can cheat. When the pool switches coins, the shares are not lost. They are held until the next time we go back to that coin. Shares last one block. |

Either way, I have the impression that any of these pools are a waste of time. Maybe these pools should have a rig with at least a single 7950 pre-mining the so called "most profitable coin" for 2 minutes before making the switch, to make sure that stalls and rejects don't eat up hash rate.
Blindingly switching according to calculations similar to what seen on coinchoose, doesn't cut it. My rig is stable, cgminer reports the same 870 Kh/s, yet HashCows mining KrugerCoin, the pool reports 160 ~ 200 for the full round. Where is the remaining hash rate going? Rejects, stalls, lag and God knows what more ...
Agree 100% with this... as I have stated for a while, I think this pool was a great idea but the hashrate is too large for it to be effective unless he could split the hashrate up and have 80% mine LTC and 20% jump around and mine the alt-coins. 1GH/s is just too large to throw at these smaller coins even if they are the most profitable. Yeah. 1 GH/s is way too much for some of these coins. Part of my calculations include looking at past results of profits. So if there is a coin with some problem, that will be accounted for. I don't think pre-mining like you say would be good, because you'd lose out on that 2 minutes of profit. And past results are probably a good enough indicator. I really want to split up the hashrate like you say. It's going to be hard to figure out how to make the payouts fair though. Do I randomly choose the people who get to mine on the smaller pool, or is it who has the lowest reject rate? And do their extra profits get distributed into the main pool? |

Can we use many miners on the same BTC address?
Because it look like i should have 1.5 Mhash with 3 miners but for some resason im at about 700khash
Is is preferable to use one separate btc address for each miner ?
Yeah, you can use the same BTC address on all your miners. The reason for not doing so would be to keep separate stats for each rig. The hashrate display is only accurate if you've been mining for an hour. So if you haven't, then wait a bit. |

Can u tell me if theres any mining activicty on this adress 16n9uLGRspB6ZaMikq32puc6Fd3KGP392k ?
I see zero shares submitted with that address. I see that you connected though, at least once. Are you CPU mining? |
|
|
|
is it possible to have something like that on the results page for the addresses? It would make life much easier in actually seeing what work has been done on the middlecoin servers
Yeah, I have plans for automated graphs like these, but there are a number of things I need to do first. |

I've got a 1MHash rig running on this pool and over the past 30 days im averaging 0.013333 per day
Can I get your address? Your profits shouldn't be that low. PM'd you. Just ran the numbers, and you've made an average of 0.0233 BTC per MH/s per day Here's a lifetime hashrate graph of yours I just cooked up: http://middlecoin.com/hashratechart-hotwired.html |

The pool is back up. Apparently it was a hardware failure in the amazon cloud.
The IP has changed. I've set it up so this is the last time the IP will change.
So make sure your middlecoin.com resolves to 54.214.242.184, if you can't connect.
