We are seeing some up and down issues with the web servers, we are working on it.

Blazepool

Website down for a short while.  Should be back up very soon.

Hello everyone,

All good now.  Sorry for the short down time.

Blazepool.

Hello everyone,

Pool has been very stable... market not so... so are many problems with exchanges everywhere.  Just a reminder to users that you might want to run benches to to update your algo listing, things have been very dynamic in the past few weeks.


@NetfetMiningCompany  Thanks for running the benches. 



Blazepool

@NetfetMiningCompany  Good question here.  Would need to know if you are seeing TimeTravel on top for a long time or only for short durations.  If you are using the current estimate, it is possible for the profitability to spike for short durations and that's a perfect time to mine the coin.  But if the said super high profitability stays up top for a long period of time, then it is more likely that a glitch occurred during the benchmarking process which resulted in incorrect stats stored.

@jcorbijn  Yes, the pool has had 3 days of below average performance; mostly due to the significant drop of overall market.  The x16r has been working fine, i believe it's just co-incidence with the below-average days. 

Blazepool

@MaxiMan  I would think that the switching time is okay as long as you see some algo running 10 - 15 minute sessions as those are the ones that needs the longer time.  As for algos, we always recommend 6-7 profitable ones based on your benchmark.  As for zooming on graphs, don't think it'll be easy but will talk to the team about it. 

Blazepool

@Jaerun We've had a long discussion over at the discord about the lyra2v2 reporting.  There are conflicting cases presented and we are looking into what's actually happening.  The symptoms differs between different ccminer versions is what we observed.  We do not have the root cause yet and will update as we find more.

@MaxiMan  Are you using the current estimates like we suggested?  If you are, then the current estimates shooting to higher values than your daily average is the normal scenario.  After all we are shooting for those low diff algos at that particular moment in time.  The actual payout from the pool should be taken as the only valid metric to evaluate a benchmark.

Blazepool

@MaxiMan  Thanks for trying Blazepool.  Switching more with the current estimates is as expected and is the mechanism that will net you more profit on average in the long run on Blazepool.  You'll notice from your log that for larger algos like x17 or x16r, your rig usually stays on the algo for 10 to 20 minutes, this is the correct behavior as the diff dip on these algo lasts longer.  Whereas for algos like tribus and neoscrypt it usually exits after the first round.

Blazepool

@Jaerun  Several users did report on the difference of displayed hashrate.  The pool calculates the hashrate to display by the shares submitted and it's done just like all other algo.  We suspect a bug somewhere with the display of the rate only; your shares and payouts are not affected; this is confirmed by users' posting on the discord verifying the payout matches their hashrates.  We are still searching for that display bug though; would be great if anyone can give us a pointer to it too.  Will keep you guys posted.

@Supercoiner111  Many users ask for this option and we've talked about it many times within the team.  I just started a discord channel on to find out more from users or would be users, please join our discussion.

Hello all,

Pool webpage down at the moment.  All api calls and stratum activities remain healthy.  Will keep posting updates here.

Webpage online.

Blazepool

@Sergunqa   Zealot/Enemy will work with Blazepool just like any miner with proper .bat settings.  It is highly recommended that you use one of the multi-algo switcher apps in the market stated on the first post of the thread or compatible ones and choose 6 - 7 algos, using a switch interval of 5 minutes for switching to work for you.  Profitability is likely not to be good for you by using a single algo miner on Blazepool.  The pool is designed to provide best profitability when switching is used.  You may also visit us at our discord, many users can share their experience with you on much better profits when switching is implemented correctly with Blazepool.

@somaton  Thank you for paying attention to the Blazepool.  The vardiff feature of a stratum does not affect your profitability because it is based on both # of shares submitted along with the share's diff.  A sensible auto-diff is one that balances the count of shares submitted with the share's diff, NOT one that makes the miner's rig submit shares at too low a diff and too high a speed.

Blazepool

Hello all

Working on a web front-end issue now.  Stratums are unaffected.

Done.

Blazepool

@mafaz   Nemosminer is a good one, stable enough for running without issues for weeks.  I've also done well with hashauger.   Awesome miner for when you have 5 or more rigs you need to maintain.  As for lyra2v2, it's been profitable over the past couple of days for us, slightly above average.

@mafaz For some miners, you can switch it within the corresponding "bin" folder for the algo.  If you like finer control of the actual miner app that we do recommend using more advanced versions of miner instead of the blazepoolminer since it was designed with beginners in mind. 

@Seetth Thank you for reporting back.  Our web wiz fixed it after the bug reports from various users of the pool.   = )  Enjoy.

@factorXminer From miner coins to BTC balance will take approximately 12 hrs.

@Seetth  We are working on other algos including equihash, we just released keccakc and yescryptR16 last week and hopefully others in the near future.

@jbeck The website reports a running average for about a 10 minute history so you'll have to let it sit for a while before the hashrate catches up to the miner reported figures.  We had the same question on the discord and I posted a couple images for a test I just did for lyra2v2 to illustrate.

Hello everyone,

New algo added: YescryptR16 with YTN
New algo added: keccakc with CREA


Enjoy!

Blazepool

@Apoc79  You should see one soon.  We're working on a couple options now. 

@tbearhere  The "https" protocol is not needed in terms of securing a mining pool.  The security that we have and you want is NOT to have someone steal your mined coins by securing those important assets/keys which we have our own implementation from the very beginning. 

@jbeck We have plans to autoexchange to other coins at some point in time.  However, I cannot say exactly when or which coins will be implemented.  Don't hold your breath for that announcement just yet.

@krairerks Blazepool is an auto-algo/coin switching only pool.  There is no mechanism to do individual coin mining at the moment except for the case where there's only 1 coin in an algo.  For GPU mining, we recommend that you try our pool for auto-algo switching if your goal is to end up with BTC.  Some great algos to start with are x17/x16r/x16s/phi/skein/xevan.

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  We've added a bunch of new coins this past weekend:

OLIT, ZULA, SERA, CYR, ALPS, IFX



Enjoy!
