Good luck eghigo! Your additional 200TH will bring the pool up to about 450TH. Hopefully a few more folks will be able to join in the fun as well |

Well... here's a little added incentive to all miners on my pool. I'm doubling the bonus. That's right. If you find a block before the clock ticks into 2016 here on the east coast of the US, you will get 2BTC.
I was going to throw that BTC into a 1PH rental for a while, but instead I'm offering it up to you.
So... let's get this party rocking in the new year!

She's all greased up and firing on all cylinders . The proper sacrifices have been made. It's time to hit! |

Here's how I explained PPLNS on my own pool's thread... Sorry about the confusion Rozo. Let's see if I can explain this without even using Bitcoin. Assume you have an empty glass in front of you. Now, you start pouring water into the glass. Every now and then I'm going to come by and take a look at that glass and measure how much water you've got in it. The first time I come by, you've got the glass only 1/5th of the way full. I mark that down and pay you for 1/5th of a glass of water. I come by a while later and you've got the glass 2/5 full. OK, I mark it down and pay you for 2/5 of a glass of water. This continues until the glass is full of water. Once your glass is full I pay you for a full glass of water, but I also now open a valve at the bottom of the glass so that water drains out as fast as you're pouring it in. In this fashion, your glass will always be full of water and every time I stop by, I see you've got a full glass and pay you for it. Eventually, you stop pouring water into the glass. However, that valve is still open, so the water is draining at the same rate you were pouring. When I stop by the next time, I see you've only got 4/5 of a glass, so I pay you for that much. The time after that, the glass is only 3/5 full, so I pay you for that. This continues until the glass is empty. In my story above, every time I stopped by is equivalent to the finding of a block. I see how much water you have in the glass and pay you for however much is there. My story assumed I stopped by at even intervals of time, so you'd always know when to expect me. So, how does luck play into it? Well, every time I stopped by, I made sure to calibrate that valve on the bottom of the glass. If I stopped by more often than expected, I'd mark you down and pay you. If I stopped by less than expected, the valve would clog up and the water you were pouring in would slosh over the edge of the glass and be wasted. When I finally did stop by, I would notice you had a full glass, and pay you for it, then fix the valve so that the pour rate equaled the drain rate. OK... maybe I shouldn't try explaining things after I've been drinking  |

What miner are you attaching to your litecoin node?

Whatever you did didn't help at all. Efficiency is worse now, links are still bad and users who used to show up as having shares no longer do.
I think you need to reevaluate and that perhaps running a pool is not suited to you.

Glad to help. By the way, here's the picture you linked earlier:  |

You use the img tag: [img]link to your image[/img]
Not sure if there are any forum rules against newbie's using it, so you might want to check on the meta thread |

I meant competition on the rental sites. Unless you're getting a fixed order on NH, you can be outbid by somebody else and lose your hash.
By the way, has anyone rented with MRR on this pool? Seems people were reporting some issues with using that service on kano/ck pools. Pretty sure that was resolved on those pools, but I'm curious to see if there are any ill effects from it here.

Hi everyone, joined a little while back and have been lurking this thread for a few weeks now. Just mining with an S3 at the moment, mainly doing this as a way to get more familiar with mining in general.
First couple of weeks after I got the S3 was on Eligius so I have that one set as my 2nd choice for failover, mainly because I've already mined there. Interested in thoughts on that - seems that the payment system is set up as such that it doesn't really penalize for hopping pools and therefore seems like a good choice for one that I only intend to mine at for very short amounts of time if CKPool drops out? (I realize there are potential political conflicts that I haven't had time to read up on, sorry if I'm being ignorant here!).
Otherwise, I'm intrigued by using the German CKPool as a failover - that seems like a fantastic option. Currently have Slush as my 3rd option.
Otherwise, hi everyone! Thanks Kano - I'm really happy to have found this pool! It may have taken me took me a few weeks but I'm pretty sure my S3 has found it's "forever home" haha!
Welcome! Kano and -ck run great pools. You definitely can't go wrong on either of them. If you feel like trying your luck on smaller pools, there are some good options for you, too. |

Just over 2 days left of the promotion... I'd love to be able to send somebody home with a shiny new coin For those of you planning to throw a ton of hash at the pool, best of luck! Since I don't qualify for the promotion, I won't be renting any hash for the next few days so we aren't competing with each other. Let's bring the new year in with some blocks! |

You really need to take a look at your pool. It's a mess. More than half of the shares are rejected (your efficiency is 47%). The expected next difficulty is way off. Your links go to dead sites or unknown pages.
Just a suggestion.

but the time the machine takes to submit that diff one share is much faster than the diff 1 billion share..
Not sure what you are using to draw this conclusion, but a share is a share it a share - they all take the same "time to submit". Submitting shares isn't what solves a block, it's how many SHA256 hashes per second that can be calculated. There are no "secret settings" that increase your chances at solving a block. Thats what i was getting at.. Just wondered if we had double the work if it gave us an advantage in anyway.... I always see the saying that every share has equal opportunity to solve a block.. So i just figured if your able to double the amount of shares you submit.. Albeit half the stratum diff would be required but each share has that chance to solve.. Im prolly way off here. Thanks for the help on this aswell Best Regards d57heinz There is no advantage. Your miners are hashing at X million/billion/trillion hashes per second. Each one of those could potentially solve a block. The vast majority of those hashes are thrown out because they are worthless (i.e. they don't even meet the difficulty 1 target). When your miner actually does hit a diff 1 share, it is then the mining software that ignores it based upon the difficulty set by the pool. If that share happens to exceed the target difficulty, then it is submitted to the pool. If by chance that share also happens to exceed the target network difficulty, then the pool submits the block. |
