Better get used to it, it is how it is I'm afraid.

There has been a false rumour of home mining being profitable for many months now, when in reality the ROI train left the station over 10 months ago & the profit boat sailed into the sunset around the same time. We now have a situation where most of the large (Chinese) pools are so badly coded that they splurge out more stale blocks than good ones while the other large-ish pools are skimming the tops off miners earnings in various different & devious ways, be it block withholding or waiting for diff increases before paying out (Yes, you know who you are & you should be BANned) or some other unethical, greedy behaviour. The saying "biggest isn't best" is especially true in Bitcoinland.

The few established & trustworthy pools who are left are having to pay the price, as are their miners. To cap it all off, the only truly decentralised & trust-less pool has been left undeveloped since the GPU mining days - what was supposed to be the last defence against centralization is now languishing in despair at the bottom of the pool table.

Only a year or so ago, every mining thread was full of how Bitcoin could replace the corrupt monetary system, giving the power of finance back to the people & away from a small group of "chosen ones". Now all I see in threads are so called "guides" giving paid for & misleading advice, with miners more concerned about how much of that terrible fiat currency (that spawned the birth of Bitcoin in the first place) they can get for their Bitcoins from even more corrupt & manipulative exchanges - greed & profit have taken over the original idea of Bitcoin, and it's only gonna get worse.

Some of us still believe in Bitcoin though, me included. The community just has to wise up a little & look at the bigger picture, instead of the short term quick (non) profit making chances that are no longer there. They gone.

Then skin up a blanger 

I'm pretty sure this pool hasn't been around that long

mining since mid 2013 and i have finally found a block Yeah

I wish this had happened a few weeks ago when I was pushing 200-400TH/s of rented gear onto p2pool... slowly building the wallet balance back up, though.

Another block... hooray!

Songminer, I sent you the shares my node's wallet was paid.  TxID: 8b972bf0aa7b574cc2dc4679a9ba28de62ce3887692bb96d217428b828714add

0.00681057BTC

Well maybe it will pop 2 over night.  I would go from 2.3 to 3.5 btc   .  I will be lucky to do that.

Thank you sir.  Much respect.

where do you convert them?  

would I need to first set up a DOGE Wallet??  If so, suggestions???

Maybe I'm missing something... is there a minimum payout threshold you can set or is it only the time-based one?  Since 1TH/s expects to earn 0.01077BTC a day right now, that means breaking that payment into 12 pieces - so you get your payments every 2 hours - gets you the number from my post you quoted.  At the end of the day, sure you've got the same total number of coins, but the inputs to get there are 12 times more.  More inputs, the larger the size of the data in your transaction.  The larger the data, the more you pay out in transaction fees.

For the folks that have their payouts coming every 2 hours... do you have a pretty significant amount of hash?  Currently you're only going to get 0.0008975BTC per TH.  Seems like you're going to get hammered by transaction fees when you ever try to spend those coins because of the combination of so many inputs.

I learned to manage my little pieces after having a massive darkcoin transaction that would never propagate. That massive transaction size was fixed in a more recent version.

The payout per share changed from:
0.0000000005623611
To:
0.0000000005355110

And payouts on btc are once again behind.

I'm remaining cautious while watching this pool a little longer.  At the moment my miners are at WestHash and Kano, but I did set this pool up as a backup pool.  If things remain healthy here then I'll move one of my miners back in a week or so.  I will not be moving the whole rig back though.

How did everyone survive yesterday's difficulty change?  Has that problem with payment calculation been verified as fixed?

Yep, got paid in in the last 12 hours by all three coins. Very glad to see everything working. Still don't know where the Doge actually comes from, but it's an extra something. Does the pool actually practice merge mining with the other coins like Ixcoin, Devcoin, I0coin and Groupcoin, then sell them off to get the Doge?

Yes, I see NMC was paid and the amount reset. Doge waiting still.

Seems the nodes are having issues worldwide. My miners changed pools and came back, but they are still not up to speed.

Edit: after a few hiccups, pretty much back to speed.

crushed  6 BTC  in 2.3 BTC paid  out. With under 12 hours left on the rentals.

 It will then wind down to my norm of  3th  that takes about 2 days.  So I could still gain back more but right now I am looking at  less then 40% return

23/60 = 38.33%

Rental of hash can be very risky.

 My return should have been about 95%to 97% with normal luck.

I had hoped for a bit of good luck  but the last 5 days were bad.

Any word on what's up with east.p2pool.co?

... because luck is a measure of the past and finding a block is not affected by the last time you found one.
(and the human mind tends to remember the extreme and forget the average)

block!!!

4 confirms!
