21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN][Multi-Coin][Stratum] multipool.in newbies support thread on: November 18, 2013, 04:19:00 AM
I can't hardly connect to the pool anymore - FTC, WDC, and DGC always seems to kick my GPUs off or prevent them from connecting to the pool in the first place.  It's been happening for a few weeks now and it's getting so hard to connect that it's ridiculous.

Speaking of ridiculous, why is the pool so fond of FTC?  It's sooooo very often that I look to see that the multipool is on FTC, then look at coinwarz to find the most profitable coins.  For instance, it's now on FTC yet more profitable coins currently include: WDC, CAP, NVC, MEC, CGB, and LTC - all before FTC.  Why does the pool favor FTC so much?  It's crap to me- in fact the only Scrypt coin on the website that I try to avoid mining.

I only added a .conf file last night because my wallet was finding no nodes to which to sync.  Even after adding the .conf file, I could still only find one node.  Same story this afternoon, except that I just deleted my .conf and it successfully synced up with the only node it shows available.  Maybe it's just the time of day that I'm using my qt.  Maybe I'm synced to a fork?

Historically, it was always easy to connect and sync to the Spots network (unlike some alt-coins), so having 0 nodes for a bit was disconcerting.  Anyway, I'll be looking for new Spots developments.

Well...

The vircurpool is closing down, the mining network is extremely thin, and only one node out of about a dozen addnodes is working.

Seems like it's dead- sad because I have a soft Spots in my heart... lol.  And because I spent the last day or two increasing my SPT holdings by 50%.  Defibrillator anyone?

Ahhhhhh fuck it, here's a little dish

The first project is web-based and will create a LOT of opportunities for the users to "earn" the coin of their choice. No, it's not fill out surveys or some stupid shit

The second one does have to do with advertising, and we can release more info on that very soon, it's kind of been placed on the backburner for the above project right now

The third, and most exciting, project is our renewable energy miners. The goal is 0 electricity cost while being able to power enough hardware to produce 150 gHash on Sha, or about 20 scrypt mHash (rough estimate for the scrypt numbers) with no energy bills. We are focusing on powering ASIC's for now due to their lower requirements with increased numbers, but these are not chips or anything like that. You can use these on anything, even your kitchen if you wanted to.  Again, this is our most in depth project and will not be updating regularly with details. We will do press releases and videos when we are closer to completion. Right now we only have the first build up and running. It's currently powering 10 erupter blades with about 120ish gHash and $0 electricity costs as I type this. For how long, though? That's the question we are going to answer before we post any updates. We've recently added an engineer to the team locally to help with size and noise restraints to make these more miner friendly

Good to know there will be more to do with Spots- it was one of the earliest Scrypt coins I mined on a regular basis.  I'm sitting on almost 4k and have my 700kh/s pointed at Spots while the network looks soooooo thin.  I think there might be a multipool trying to connect because the network bumps up to 28mh/s from 8mh/s right after the low difficulty blocks (or maybe the network hashrate meter on the vircurpool SPT pool is inaccurate).  Either that or some big fish solo-miner is trying to hit those profit blocks or trying to fork it?  Anyway, I'm excited about the miners you're developing, any estimation of costs?  Particularly in Spots?

Edit: The network hashrate seems to have stabilized around 15mh/s over the past few difficulty adjustments- but it seemed for a while that those extra 20mh/s were showing up right after the easy difficulty blocks.  Actually, maybe it's just lag- network hashrate is usually an average over a period of time.

I'm new here, too, but I've been a BTC user since April and miner (SHA-256, Scrypt, and primes) since May.  I've been lurking here because of the barrier to entry (I don't really have anything original to add yet), but I've been around reddit for a while.  Also, looking for people in the south eastern New Mexico/west Texas area who mine.  I'm a tech noob but I've been learning and would like to be able to work with someone understands how, specifically, tech applies to BTC.
