All the profitability on the pool is shown against Litecoin.  Is there anyway of seeing what coins were mined for how much each day as I don't think just mining Litecoin and converting to BtC is the best and as a multipool, I would expect to see changes through the day.

I know the website says that we mine many coins, but I would prefer to see which coins were mined and for how much of the day because at the moment its looking a bit like we mine Lite only and convert to Btc.

I spent some time playing this morning..

I did notice that the difficulty rate varies wildly around every 5 or 6 seconds  shooting from a difficulty of around 9 to around 940 in some cases..  whilst the charts are showing reasonable rates, the gridseeds are jumping around all over the place on difficulty and the no of accepted blocks between new blocks being detected is awful.

I would suggest the difficulty is still changing too fast and is too inclined to go harder..  there was one period where 8 new blocks were detected before any of my 5 gridseed 5 chip units could get in an accepted share and during that time the difficulty jumped all over the place as the new blocks were detected.

Just my 0.02 mBTC worth.

oops EDIT...   it may be I was playing at the same time as you Terk..  let me leave it running a while and see what happens

Can 1 Pi running this miner handle multiple types of ASIC,  eg  Gridseed 5 chips and a Fury?

Regards

M

Awesome.. whilst I am moving to mostly hosted with GAW.. I do have some gridfurys at home.

When and where can I buy?

yep they vanished last night around 9pm EST for me

wow, has a lot of stuff been moving to Slushi's today?  the 30 min average on the hash rate has gone from  1896324.170 Ghash/s   to  2075661.190 Ghash/s  during the day.

At this rate, I will have to rethink an Antminer S2 I was planning to purchase and wonder if its worth spending the same on a big Scrypt ASIC and selling that for Btc instead.

My payout in the last week has dropped from 0.0056 per block to 0.0042.  Agreed it should mean more blocks found but todays rise in hash rate is huge

Regards

M

Thats exactly what I am hoping, along with someway to keep upto date with equipment so all I have to worry about is who is getting my hashes and preferably on both Scrypt and SHA..  but I am probably dreaming  

I am hoping the refernce to Prime (Optimus) is that the equipment will be auto changing to maintain current status and relative power:)

M

Will be interesting..

I cancelled an order this week outstanding with someone else for a bitcoin box in the hope that this would be something special and the money is burning a hole in my pocket, so I hope it's not a long wait.  Time is money in this game, but based on service and approach so far, I'll risk that return for working with a good company

No need to apologise, I agree with you and had mine only been around 10 - 15% I would have assumed normal variance as well

Yes, it has been adjusted, thanks to Slush..  its now back inside normal variance.

Interesting how much the pool size has grown over the last month..  just that rise in itself has lowered the whole average reward some 15% or so from a couple of weeks ago..   Good to see the arms race is still fully funded

My understanding was that the calc, assuming you are mining at the time the block is found (you havent had a blip in providing hash rate etc) is  my shares / pool shares * Block Value..  for a rough calc.  (not deducting fees here)

therefore for block 22106  :-

22106  2014-05-19 16:30:41  11:23:16  18010425802  3586935   0.00206705  301575  25.10258983  97 confirmations left

which makes the calc 0.0049994

The three previous blocks using the same calc would have been :-  

22105 I get  0.0048193
22104 I get  0.0049920
22103 I get  0.0049467

All very similar and in fact almost identical to what was paid out, as were the 4 blocks post 22106

Whilst I appreciate your point about another pool jumpin in, to halve the rate paid it would have had to be approx 1872607.589 Ghash/s jumping in..  approx the rate when the block was found I believe, to drop it 50% and the your shares / total shares dont give those values, and we have also had reports of people getting double payout on that block, so something is not quite right.

This has been happening a lot since we moved to 60 minute averages, in fact one block, for me, dropped from .0048 as the calc to 0.0009 as the reward.

Whilst I appreciate your suggestion, I think something more drastic happened in this case and may be symptomatic of other blocks like this in the recent past.

I know it's not a huge issue, but when you only make 0.1 BTC a week (on average), it's a bigger deal

Regards

M

PS  dont get me wrong, I love the block count this weekend, and I love this pool, but if theres a possible issue, I think it's only fair to investigate to see what actually happened.

Yep 22106 was also half here..   email sent to support:)

Second this.. Jeff you know why and I will visit with a 13 year old Jura )

I have to admit, I was concerned about going with what to me was a new company, but I have been really well looked after.

Many times things can go wrong,  we are all human and equipment is not always 100% but i have been really impressed by Jeff and the team wanting to make sure everything is right and working properly.

They really have gone above and beyond to make sure I am a happy customer, and I am.

I will be ordering more stuff from them shortly

Yes, am fully aware of that and have no issue with that..   its the variance on a fairly consistent hash rate (within 2% )  that changes the expected payout from 0.0009  to 0.006 in less than 3 minutes when the pool size remains the same.   It just seems very twitchy since the last updates.  Prior to the 60 minute updates, it varied, but not by much.   

Having said that, looking back over my previous 20 or so blocks, its kinda evened out, but theres still been some blocks where the reward has been 0.002  and some that have been around 0.005, still seems a little twitchy to me, that's all I am saying.  I am guessing that the more machines you have, the less it will vary, but having just a few bits and pieces, its become very noticable.

Regards

M

Not sure, but over the last couple of days, I have noticed the same...  I only have just under 400G/hash but it varies regularly between 0.0009 to 0.0062 expected block payout and the block payouts do match these figures that exist when the block is found, but the G/Hash rate is staying constant.

I'm wondering if the anti-pool hopping mechanism is being a bit too vicious.   I know that if I turn off one of my antminers..  the expected payout drops in 2 minutes or less as if it had not been running at all even though the desktop is still showing a lot of residual shares.

When it first went to the 60 mins, I wasn't having an issue with the payout, although it dropped fast when turning a machine off, but these last 2 days its been all over the place and I am seeing pretty constant hash rates and the counters are all saying 0 minutes, so it's not stuffing up on network transmission.

Regards

M

Not been affected yet by this, thank you for heads up, but what I have done is put a block in my router from communicating with that dot addy, so hopefully the worst that would happen now is they would go offline rather than mine for someone else.
