You might have noticed I have moved the payout history to a separate page, adding links to the block explorer for each transaction. I have also added the possibility to change the donation percentage because, believe it or not, one of our miners wanted to donate more.  Shocked

By the way, is anybody interested in an iPhone interface to check your live stats? Let me know!

Thanks for the response and the pool references.
Do you know the URLs to these other two pools?

You can find a list of Litecoin pools here:

WOW great list mate ! Really good effort right here. Well done. I think you should make a thread with all the LTC pools so newbies can find them easily etc. !

Thank you, but I think a page about this should be created on the Litecoin Wiki instead. There was list of pools in the old wiki, but apparently it disappeared when the wiki was migrated to GitHub.

EDIT: Done! I also added some additional info: https://github.com/coblee/litecoin/wiki/Comparison-of-mining-pools

Can anyone explain how to configure my miner to connect to a Litecoin pool? (I think there's one pool already)

I think there are (at least) seven pools at the moment:
(Proportional) http://litecoinpool.dyndns.org/
(Proportional) https://lc.ozco.in/
(Proportional) http://coinotron.com/
(PPLNS) http://66.166.64.126:8080/ Elitist Jerks
(PPLNS) http://pool-x.eu/
(PPLNS) http://liteco.in/threads/130-kh-s-distributed-litecoin-pool-using-p2pool.29/
(PPS) http://www.litecoinpool.org/

(Hope I didn't forget anyone!)

That's too bad. Cry
I really liked dynamic userbars in signatures, like "I'm mining at deepbit.net with my 842.35 MH/s"
They only took a few pixels and had that "live" feel to them.

Okay... I'm using it (ArtForz pushpool)... PoolServerJ does not support Litecoin / Scrypt yet...

Do you know why I do not see the message "PROOF OF WORK RESULT: true (yay!!!)" even when I do solo mining (minerd + Litecoin) or through pushpool?

When I connect to your pool, almost immediately I see that message coming from my minerd.

That's because I too small? Doing these tests...?!

Have you set rpc.target.bits to something around 18 in the pushpool config file?
827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] First PPS Litecoin pool on: November 06, 2011, 01:04:27 PM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we are the only Litecoin pool to have this feature at the moment.

We have had it for 1% donors since day 1 Smiley

Sorry, Graet. You should correct the first post on your thread, then, because right now the feature is striked-thorugh, and it says "coming soon".

on another point there is now litecoinpool.dyndns.org and litecoinpool.org - hope it doesnt get confusing for miners on the 2 pools Smiley

Unless they are doing pool hopping, I don't think this will be a problem.  Smiley
828  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] First PPS Litecoin pool on: November 06, 2011, 12:33:25 PM
Loving it Smiley Donated 2.3 LTC. Nice work!.

Thank you!
I have made some improvements to the workers graphs, hash rate history will be more accurate from now on.
I have also implemented email notification of idle miners. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we are the only Litecoin pool to have this feature at the moment.
829  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] New PPS Litecoin pool on: November 05, 2011, 06:09:25 PM
Its nice but i prefer just white page with black text. No other hazzles than miners required info Smiley Clean inrface for fast look up Smiley

Done! We now have an HTML API, too! Find the link on your account page.
This way, you don't need to log in, you just need your personal API key. Bookmark the link on your mobile device and you're done!
830  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] New PPS Litecoin pool on: November 05, 2011, 05:22:29 PM
i also have one request

Mobile friendly login just to see hash speed, miners (if they idle), results and payments. So just login screen what acces to those and log out. I usually use mobile device to check things so it could be nice to have interface for lower resolutions.

I will look into this. Is there anything in particular that is not displaying nicely on your mobile device?
In the meantime, you may want to check out the API (find the link on your account page). Since it is just a pretty-printed JSON file, it should be easily readable on any device.
831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] New PPS Litecoin pool on: November 05, 2011, 04:06:01 PM
Nice to support PPS i added few small miners Smiley

i5 650 with 3 threads (~6mh/s)
e2140 with 1 threads (~2.2mh/s)
atom 230 with 1 threads (~1mh/s)
If you're getting speeds measured in megahashes you're using the wrong miners. You need a miner able to compute Scrypt hashes. Compile ArtForz' cpuminer fork (https://github.com/ArtForz/cpuminer) or download one of the precompiled miners by twobits (http://www.wuala.com/jbw9/pub/Bitcoin/Tenebrix/miner/win/).

I believe that was just a transcription error, because we are receiving valid shares from those miners, and the hash rate seems to match, once you replace M with k.

Hi,

On your site you said this:

Quote
(In case you are wondering, 65536 is the average number of hashes to be computed in order to find a share. This is not the same...

IMO You should change it to "65536 is the average number of shares to be computed in order to solve a block on difficulty 1". As you set the pool's small target to 16 bit, it takes 65536 shares to find a block on average. So, the way the earning are calculated should based on shares. The figures are just happened to be the same, as 65536(hashes/share) * 65536(shares/block) = 4294967296 = 2^32(hashes/block).

Just think, if you change the small target to 15 bit, the effective difficulty for miners are actually decreased, thus more shares are required to solve a block(131072), and to find a share you only need 32768 hashes. In that case the PPS should be 47.5 LTC / (131072 × Current Difficulty), not multiplied by 32768 on the denominator.

Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, I am aware that It would be more correct to write "(4294967296 / 65536) = 65536 is the average number of hashes to be computed in order to find a share". I just didn't want to make things look too complex. But you are right, it may sound misleading. I have rephrased that part.

Since nobody has done it yet, I'm launching a pure pay-per-share Litecoin pool. As you probably know, this system has several advantages:

  • No penalty for orphaned blocks.
  • Predictable income: you are no more subject to bad luck.
  • Rewards are instantly credited to your account (you don't have to wait for a block to be solved or confirmed).
  • You can be sure that the pool operator is not cheating (because you know how many shares you submit).
  • Immunity to pool hopping.

This method results in the least possible variance for miners.

Other features include: (updated)

  • Exclusive ultra-low-latency Stratum implementation, written in C for maximum performance
  • Support for Stratum over SSL/TLS, to prevent MITM attacks
  • Support for extensions to the Stratum protocol, including resume, suggest_difficulty and suggest_target
  • Adaptive share difficulty (“vardiff”)
  • Geographically-distributed, redundant servers
  • Detailed stats updated every minute
  • Detailed history of earnings and payouts
  • Per-worker performance graphs
  • Automatic and manual payouts
  • Email notification of idle miners
  • Two-factor authentication support
  • Extensive JSON API and mobile interfaces
  • Website and mining interface also accessible as Tor hidden services
  • Lightweight interface

Since September 11, 2014, the pool supports merged mining of Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies, resulting in higher payouts than with a regular Litecoin pool.
As of January 2018 we are merged-mining Argentum, Canada eCoin, Dogecoin, Huntercoin, Myriad, Pesetacoin, Viacoin.

Feedback and feature requests are very welcome! Smiley

Yes, but it should be made clear that luck varies with time, so it should not be used as a criterion for choosing a pool.

It's sad to see how little we can earn these days with modern home computer installations... Sad
But fortunately it's still a fun thing to do! Smiley

Your bitcoins are bound to your wallet file, there's no need to start online transactions if you are upgrading your OS.
Just make sure you have a couple backups in safe places. Smiley
837  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Accepted share rate different on different pools? on: October 16, 2011, 03:14:21 PM
The discovery of shares is subject to probability just like the discovery of blocks, so that's normal.
You may even get wildly different numbers across different pools if they use different difficulties for shares.

Hello everybody,
I'm quite new to this Bitcoin thing, but very interested. I'm currently mining both Bitcoin and Litecoin under Linux using phoenix and ArtForz's minerd.
I'm also currently developing a full-featured Litecoin pool, it will go public soon.
