Working on the x16r algo now, might see short interruption.

Back to normal now.

@Seetth We have a 7 days report coming very soon.  It's in testing phase and we've had a few bugs that we want to iron out before launching.

@Apocalypse Onion  It's the dynamics of the market and Blazepool.  Unlike other pools that lets you mine a single coin, blazepool works best when most users chooses a few algos and let them switch automatically.  When an algo is relatively low on profitability, hashes don't get to these algos as much and lowers the block frequency.  On the other hand, high profitability algos attract hashes and results in faster blocks.  This is by design to make use of the diff dips, so users gather hash power and mine relatively low diff blocks.  We've run many many tests internally to make sure that this switching mechanism nets users more profit compared to single algo on average over longer runs.

@jbeck  Please PM us your address and we can take a look at it for you.  Pool is running normally.

@WitWolfy  Magicoin for m7m has had problems for a long time now.  There's discussion on the discord about it.  The coin is not working properly by design which results in mostly orphans for pools.  The only reason that we are keeping it up is because we get a good block once in a while and that it's a CPU coin.

@jbeck  since you've had good results with the pool so far, settings on your rig should be okay.  Have you switched any algos in or out?  If not then it maybe just a period of bad luck.  Like we've always posted the same info about benchmarking durations, a day or two of high or low results can just be pool lucks. Things averaged over a week are much more representational to a pool's performance.

The numbers on the last 50 block chart are first added to the processing and immature list before they move down to the unpaid after they've been matured and exchanged.

@Snus We had a long discussion about the Magicoin in m7m algo in the Discord.  Please refer to the messages there for reference.

@jbeck Within switcher like sniffdog or nemos, there should be a folder named stats which you can delete file that's named after the algo that you are having the problems with.  That way the app only benches that particular algo again.

@jbeck  Thanks for reporting the issue you are encountering.  Please PM us your address and we will do our best to try to help you with it.  You may also contact us a the Discord as well. 

I'll do what I can now with the information you provided.  Lyra2RE2 estimates currently shows correct amount on the front page of the web site.  Are you seeing the 603 per day figure from your miner switcher software or from the website / API?  For some miner switcher, there can be incorrect estimates when something goes wrong during the benchmarking process or in the middle of a previous mining session and causes a file in the stats folder to go corrupt and report an incorrectly high hashrate that will make the estimates wrong.  The solution to this type of issue is to delete the particular benchmark stats file for that algo in the stats folder.  I am "guessing" that this is an issue on the switcher side mainly because 1. I see a correct estimate on the website, 2. I do not see a higher than normal rig count mining on the Lyra2RE2 algo.  Your productivity should not be "stalled" for 7 hours as even if you mine just the lyra2RE2 algo, it's quite a profitable algo and should provide some earnings for you.

As for 5 miners running instead of 1, we'll need more information about your rig config as well as miner switcher config to determine the cause. 

Let us know how we can help you more.

@webman2018  thank you for providing us with some stats, it would be much more helpful for us to help you in achieving your best return by giving us more information like what kind of rigs you have, what algo are you mining and what kind of settings you are using.  Also 4 hours of mining on a multi-algo pool does not tell anything near a full story.  We recommend everyone to give any pool at least a week of hashrates to make benchmarks more meaningful.  Let us know if there's anything that we can help you with like settings or algos that's currently profitable.

@eric911 For the Plus algorithm, many users reported it to be at least on par with normal switching using current estimates or better.   

@jbeck.you can pm me your account and we can check for you.  What you described could not happen unless the pool never win any blocks during that time.

@jbeck Good day.  The algo charts shows up only if there's shares submitted for that algo within the last 24hrs.  If an algo chart is not there, then it's likely that your switcher did not choose the x16 algos in the past day. 

@romajc In the password field or -p; entering ID=rig01 will name the rig.

@jbeck Just got home!     The 1% share for the pool is applied to the block reward mines.  It's really simple, reward comes in at 100%, pool takes 1% out.  The rest of 99% split among all valid shares.  Algo switching is performed by the mining switcher software based on the benchmark of your rig.  Every rig is slightly different.  While some rigs are mining algo A, some rigs are more suitable to mine algo B during that same period in time; hence the switcher software move these to algo B.   By switcher software I mean software like Nemos, technically they are not miner software but algo switcher.  The ccminer/ddminer/eeminer/etcminer underneath are the real miner software. 

@rmSX13   The estimates for all miner software are only accurate to a certain degree since they're all just "estimates" and luck plays a pretty heavy factor in the crypto-world, sometimes you get a little more, sometimes a little less.  We always judge our pool's performance by a longer term average of actual payout over a period of 7 days or longer.  As for taking a 25-30% we do NOT do and it shows by our actual payouts that our users love.

@Seetth  We are constantly adding new coins and you can see them on our postings, and some we even missed to announce!  As for ZEC in particular, we are working on it, don't hold your breath for it just yet though.

@jbeck You are absolutely correct.  The Satoshi number is the actual earnings that you get for that particular coin block mined.  So, 1 satoshi is exactly the same as saying 0.00000001BTC. And in your example, the first ultima coin with satoshi 245 means the percentage that you got for that ultima block gives you 0.00000245BTC.  Hope this helps.

@Zirillian Thank you.

@jbeck You're doing well, seems like income increased for you!  May the luck be with you.

@bitdaric Thank you for reaching out. We will research your coin and post if it's suitable. 

@jbeck  Satoshi is a unit used for 0.00000001BTC, named after the person/identity who invented Bitcoin.  The payout time is daily for amount >0.003BTC.

@Chapster Thank you for supporting Blazepool!!!  We continue to monitor and tweak the vardiff settings for algos with the aim to win the most blocks for users.  Your shares for the pool should not be affected as the same settings apply to all users of the pool.  As for adding CryptonightV7 based coins, it's certainly possible, do you have any recommendations? 

Blazepool

@Globalboosty  Thanks for the suggestion.  We are constantly improving our web interface! 

@jbeck  All GPUs from your Computer forms a single rig and is shown as 1 worker on Blazepool.   That is the correct behaviour.

@eric911   The Blazepool miner is mainly for beginning miners who want a simple one touch miner.  In terms of maximizing profitability, it does not.  To reasonably "maximize" profitability, more work is needed.
