thanks. weird thing is it worked for a while today and just started with the bad worker credentials. mine fine on other pools. cpuminer with a stratum proxy
edit: seems to be when we went to FTC?
Btw latest version of cpuminer supports stratum I believe. |

I just started on this pool today. I'm getting occasionally "bad worker credentials." Is this normal? delays my mining for a bit
It's a very devious bug in stratum. I'm currently investigating a fix. |

Sorry.. Vicurex.
and we are mining FTC now ...?
Maybe should switch to a LTC maybe while we find out?
Cryptsy has temporarily suspended FTC trading while he investigates.. according to Admin there.
If the attacker is able to successfully orphan blocks while we're on the chain, I'll disable FTC. That would mean he has more than 600MH. To limit risk for miners, I'll pay up to 4 orphan blocks. If we get more than that I'll pull FTC off the multiport. |

ftc WDs suspended?
Not suspended, but if there is a successful 51% attack, there is a chance your transaction could get reversed. So I'd say "withdraw at your own risk". |

Vic is still accepting..

Vic? |

I'm just kind-of glad I traded almost all mine few days ago.. just never know with kids these days..  T. Hmm, maybe I should move some of the pool's FTC reserves into LTC for now. Of course, that's assuming I can even get them into an exchange at this point. |

Ahh lol ok.. (paranoia sets in..)
T.
Actually, I rescind my previous comment. FTC is currently being attacked. We will most likely move to it in ~5 hours when the difficulty adjusts down, but I will monitor the situation and disable FTC if the attackers succeed. |

PPLNS only becomes unfair when there is a difficulty adjustment in play. But it only unfair if PPLNS is set at high # of shares or long amount of time.
To expand on this (because if read a certain way, it seems to contradict kslavik's previous statement that PPLNS is always fair), PPLNS can be unfair if the number of shares is set too high because if there is a difficulty adjustment in the middle of the round, shares mined before the adjustment become worth more. |

Why time-based PPLNS is a BAD idea for multipool.
I know there already has been a long discussion in this thread about what payment system would be best for this type of pool and finally Flound has settled on time-based PPLNS.
I'm not trying to restart that discussion so we can hear the same arguments again and again but I have given it a lot of thought and I think I have some points that are really relevant and have not been made yet.
Flound argues that for the LTC pool 4-6 hours would be a good period to set for the time-based PPLNS. This can be fair based on his assumption that the LTC port has about 100MH on it when the multiport is on another coin.
But (for argument sake) let's look at the situation where the steady hashing power on LTC would drop to a low value or even disappear. If the multiport then moves away from LTC and doesn't return within 6 hours, it will be a FACT that all shares will be lost and the multiport miners will get nothing in return for their time spent on LTC.
This is true but remember multiport miners hopped onto another lower-difficulty coin and are getting paid for that. LTC miners are staying on LTC and will only get paid if the pool finds a block. And if the dedicated hashrate on LTC disappears and everyone's round shares go to 0, then everyone is starting on an equal footing when the multiport comes back, so I think that is still fair. Remember, as kslavik said, that the idea of any kind of PPLNS is not that you get paid for every share you submit, it's just that block rewards are distributed fairly when a block is found. Should the multiport miners get paid for their shares on LTC for a full 24 hours and also their shares spent mining other easier currencies for which they got steady payouts? I don't know that that's necessarily fair. But really, I don't see this being an issue except maybe in a corner case where the pool is mining LTC, has bad luck, then hops to NVC and continues to have bad luck and then does not find a NVC block for 4-5 hours. But this is a very low probability outcome. In a case where the pool hops to any other coin, you are generating guaranteed profits again almost instantly since the block times are so low on those coins. Plus you still have the potential of a LTC payout if the dedicated LTC miners find a block. Even with the mediocre luck and the short multiport stints on LTC in the past day I have a great profitability, over 3x what I would have made mining bitcoin. |

Lets see the havoc in which ARG will be left in approx 10 minutes
Agree. This is just a proof that ARG should get more support from miners. It is not just a pump and dump coin. Leaving network at this disproportionately diff isn't motivating for miners. You are right. I will continue to support ARG with half of my hash power whatever difficulty is. Hopefully and others will do the same. At the current difficulty, mining ARG is still 1.49x as profitable as mining BTC. That's really not that bad. There are also only about 3BTC worth of buy orders for ARG on cryptsy before it hits 0.001. So if you really believe in the coin, you could mine another easier coin and buy ARG with the proceeds. This will drive the price up and make mining profitable even at the higher diff. |

Some new changes are now live - the "My Stats" page ( https://www.multipool.in/my_stats.php) now displays the most recent 10 payouts for each currency. Also, linked from the top left menu as "Profit Snapshot" ( https://www.multipool.in/userpayout.php) and also from the bottom of the payout summary on the My Stats page will show all of your rewards from the previous 24 hours, as well as a real-time estimate of what those rewards are worth in BTC. I like it! I have some other thoughts for consideration of making it onto your to-do list. I realise none of this is essential - will just add more to your workload - but I figured may as well jot down what I was thinking.. For the two tables on the top left and right - I think it would be nice to have clickable sorting options on the column headers - to change the order to your preference (e.g. alphabetically, or in order of profitability). Also, instead of having a pointer to the coin that the Multi Port it currently mining, what about just highlighting the relevant row? And if necessary, you could add a note / explanation below the tables, or in the space between them below the "Currently Mining" box. And you could then use that space again on the right-hand table to rather list the static mining port numbers for each. And on the My Stats page for the newly added list of payouts, could we get the relevant timestamp for when each block was mined? Then the new Profit Snapshot is really great. I think that could warrant some further historical graphing.. showing profitability history/ trend. That page could be a separate tab on its own, e.g. "My Profitability" next to "My Stats".. with a historic graph below the 24 hour snapshot table. You'd have to put a stake in the ground for the time of day at which each point is plotted on the graph, but it could be great to see. And that leads to thoughts about a comparison / ratio vs the pool as a whole, and/or between individual coins.. ok, ok. Enough already! I thought about doing that but it's a lot of data to save that for every user though. I'll consider it. |

I just started mining with this pool today using cgminer with two 7790s about 500khs whenever it switches to LTC it seems I get an error pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: (null) what does this mean and is it something I'm doing wrong or a problem with the pool?
It's a problem with the pool. I've been trying to track down this bug for days now, if you can email me directly I'll help you. |

I'm preparing a page that shows your earnings over the past 24h on all coins and gives the current value in BTC.
This page should put to rest questions about profitability. I hope to have the new page complete by tonight.

Cash Out isn't working for me. I'm new to the pool and figured I could just paste an address and click "Cash Out" -- am I doing something wrong?
Glad you found out Be well. T. Flound.. when you have time could you possibly fix the main 2 coin charts at the top of page to be in same order. Maybe just put in alphabetical order. No big deal but it would be better if they at least matched coins in order.. same as each other. Thanks! Yeah I was in the middle of doing this the other day when I got distracted.. |

Man you just can't do that like this. You switch to LTC, the server gets overloaded like hell and it stops responding. It's totaly dead for my miner clients, not responding in minute…  Can you send or post timestamped logs please? We haven't been on LTC for a few hours. |

whats happen to EU servers? no longer connecting to trc pool.
EU servers were having reliability issues so I have disabled them for now. When I get the issues solved they'll be back. I'd rather people mine on another pool than get substandard performance from mine. But US servers should be good if you still want to mine here. |

Mnc ftc WDC yes but what about DGC and lky
still running.. be patient. you can see which coin is updating in the top left. |

Payments are running now, sorry for delay.

LTC PPLNS time has been decreased to 4 hours. My payouts for today's blocks after 8am Pacific were: 0.174479 0.176994 0.164946 0.13795 Adding up to 0.819364 in total. Mining for 9 hours at 1800KH, this site says I should get .76875 LTC (2.05*9/24) http://www.litecoinminingcalculator.com/index.php?khs=1800&diff=883.75646448&cdiff=883.75646448&fee=0So, not a bad haul considering. The reason it's higher than projected is due to the good luck of the non-multiport LTC pool today, since they found two blocks without the multipool. Today's LTC payout would have been even higher if the orphan block we found had been valid. I also didn't include block 389741, because it was found while the multiport was not on LTC, but there was also a very decent payout to multipool miners for that block due to the shares submitted before 4am. |
