Hello everyone,

New coin added: Galactrum [ORE] for lyra2v2 algo.


Blazepool

@Merckle The lower income for the past couple of days were mostly bad luck factor on the pool along with some algo/coins being offline.  All users should see a noticeable increase of income now back to the usual figures.  The entire market is still nowhere near the performance of last December/January days though. 

Blazepool

Hello everyone,

Short update, everything running smoothly.  Keeping it stable and secure.


Blazepool

Hello all,

Keeping our 100% uptime and payout goals so far.  Stable and Secure.

Would like to remind users that it's best to use the real-time benchmark instead of the 24hr for Blazepool.  24hr benchmark is lagging too much we feel from the pool's perspective and on average users should gain more NOT using it.

@Mapuo Thank you for your support!  Mobile wallet refers to accessing our web front end through browser versions on cell phones.

@drumltd Got your PM and thanks for your continued support.  We've checked your account and see that all coins are matured as of now except for the following one:

MKTCoin (x17)   13.508 MLM   13,859   0.54%   95h13m ago

This is now at a little over 114hours.  But this should be normal for this coin as maturity block count is set for 101 blocks with 20 more blocks to go before confirmation.  You can mouse-on the status box on the coin to see this status information.

@lootkips 

Full list:
scrypt, neoscrypt, keccak, xevan, x11, x17, hmq1725, blake2s, yescrypt, bitcore, hsr, skunk, blakecoin, sib, phi, timetravel, lyra2v2, groestl, c11, tribus, myr-gr, skein, nist5, lbry

Indeed some of these has gone ASIC and not worth mining if you're using GPU only.


@drumltd  Could you please PM us your address for troubleshooting?  Thanks.  And 300 seconds is a great choice for many pools and should not introduce too much switching.  As its all about low difficulty durations, sometimes not really intuitive.


Blazepool

@gak_45  Thanks for the suggestions!!!   A lot of these are in the works.

Web front end up and running.

Blazepool

Web front end down for a short update.  Mining unaffected.

Blazepool

Hello All,

Thank you all for your support!  

New coin added:  MKTcoin (MLM) for X17.



In the past week, we've had 30 minutes of webpage and API down time.  Still on our 100% stratum uptime, 100% on-time payout for users.  Long term profitability should be on par or slightly ahead of other auto-exchange pools out there.  Stable and Secure. 


Blazepool

Coins take around 12 hours from mined to being added to "balance".

Website offline for a short while for maintenance.  Stratum are up.  Algo switching will stop for a very short time now.  Mining is unaffected.

Everything up and running now.

Blazepool

@bigjee. The payment will process automatically when "balance" reaches 0.005.  You were at 0.00499 when you posted.   Almost there!

We recommend 300 seconds intervals.  Benchmark all algo for your rig GPU combination and we recommend choosing around 6-7 algos for the actual mining.

Hello everyone,

Some updates about what the pool is working on these days.  As some of you notices, some crypto-exchanges are having difficulties with their wallets and many mining pools have some coins disabled or turned to no-exchange mode.  Everyone is still working with the exchange to work things out, but compared to the whales out there, our power is minimal to push the exchange to accelerate stuff.  Many pools have coins in the middle of nowhere inside crypto-space that we can't exchange to do payouts.  But I believe all or most pools are pulling reserves to pay everyone including Blaze.  Hopefully the exchange will work things out quicker.

We are still running at 100% up-time for the pool and 100% payment on-time, and again we hope to keep it that way.  Secure and Stable.

We run so many rigs here ourselves and we see the pool's profitability/stability and very competitive with everything out there.  To maximize profit on Blazepool, please do not mine single algo.  Use around 6-7 algos and not many more.  Find the most profitability algo combination for your GPU combo every 7 to 10 days.  Algo profitability changes everyday... recent examples being Phi and Blake2 that can go from super profitable to off-the-list within a 24/48 hr period.


- We are working on adding new coins / algo constantly.

- We are also working on more useful displays for our wallet page and main page. Some more historic data screens are in the works.



Some replies to postings:

- We are not looking for donations of any kind.  For the current stated procedure, every miner gets their BTC in the next payout as soon as balance hits 0.005.

- If you stop your mining before you hit the threshold, your account remains active if you continue to do some mining within 60 days.  Your shares also stays for up to 60 days if blocks are not found for that particular algo, which should not happen.

- You cannot specify which coin to mine on Blazepool

Thanks everyone here for using the pool.  We are keeping the 0.005 policy for now as it's been running smoothly and we've never missed any payout to anyone mining with us.  But as an Admin I'll discuss with the team to see what we can do for those of you that finds our pool under-performing for your rig configurations.  It's sad to see some of you go but it does raise curiousity as why some rigs are not getting the income that I see everyday with my simple rig.  Again for the past week, a single 1080Ti should hover around 0.00035 to 0.0006 BTC daily and average out to 0.0004 to 0.0005 per day.

@BitBustah  Thank you for running the benchmarks with blazepool.  Does your logger keep track of the "total_earned" field or the "balance" field?  When I do my logging I only use the "total_earned" field as "balance" field is inherently delayed by approx. 12 hours as the cryptos go through the maturity and exchange process.  Reason for asking is that I see your logger gets 0 increment in the past 4 hours which should not be reflecting reality.   

@JukNi  Congratulations! That's your lucky hash!  That message says the share that your rig contributed a possible block hash with high enough difficulty.

@BitBustah What's your algo list like?  A bench rig of my own with 1x 1080Ti logged the average of 0.0005 BTC/day in the past three days.  Just a 1 card example so it doesn't paint the whole picture.  That should be pretty competitive in today's market.

@ACE4U2  I see that you based your algos on blake2s, phi and X17 not too long ago, are you keeping only these algos active?  I'd recommend adding to the list to at least around 6 algos continuously and checking/relisting weekly.  Recently algo profitability swaps a lot.  For example blake2s profitability dived since a few days ago.  [Added]  And phi didn't quite help in the past week either.  Numerous mandatory updates on the blockchain forced many pools to stop it for extensive periods of time.

@BitBustah  Thank you for posting the link for the API logger!!!  Could you teach us all how to use the logger?  Also thank you for trying out the pool again, we've since added some new coins since your last visit!

@romajc  There you go!!!  I haven't forgotten your question.

@alexcostabrito  Thank you for trying Blazepool!  Thanks for the complement and the suggestion!

@Bit2017User  Thanks for the tip!!! Great for the community!
