Pointed my jupiter to your pool :-)
Any chance of lower mining fee? :-):-)
The SHA-256 mining fee is 0% right now, I'm not sure how much lower I can make it  SHA-256 profits are over 250% of mining BTC over the past 24 hours! |

I tried to move my poor rig to multipool sha256, but it is not as expected.  5 USB erupters with only 1,65GHash/s after 15 minutes hashing BTC on multiport are reporting 8 accepted shares, 2 rejected and 8 hardware errors. Tried moving from eu to us server, tried changing user difficulty from 2 to 1 (cgminer 3.1.1 reports much higher difficulties), no change. Allmost all lines are "stratum from pool X requested work restart". Moving back until someone gives advice for setting small hash miners with sha256 multipool... Yes, this is a concern. I have both BFL Singles and Block Eruptors running. My BEs run great for FRC, TRC & ZET if I set their Diff to 1 on my Account page. Since BTC is a P2pool it operates differently and species the difficulty. P2pool moves very fast and I'm not sure BEs can keep up. I feel like I'm getting credit for shares submitted by my BEs, even though my BTC accepts are very low, but I'm not turning off my BFLs to test it. Flound, can you shed some light on this BE issue in the BTC pool??? The high difficulty should really not matter that much. You will submit fewer shares, but at higher difficulty so your overall shares should be the same. P2pool changed from 10 second blocks to 30 second blocks a month or two ago to help increase the efficiency on ASICs. I tried re-enabling custom difficulty last night on one of the p2pool nodes. The result?: Local: 572GH/s in last 10.0 minutes Local dead on arrival: ~23.9% (21-27%) Expected time to share: 33.2 minutes Shares: 1 (0 orphan, 1 dead) Stale rate: ~100.0% (20-100%) Efficiency: ~0.0% (0-96%) Current payout: 1.5889 BTC Granted, it looks like we were on TRC most of the night. But efficiency dropped on both p2pool nodes (I'm assuming the high CPU use on this node affected the other one) So custom diff is being turned back off for now. I hope that the p2pool author will address the efficiency of p2pool soon, there is so much hashrate out there that he could attract if the client ran a little better. Right now we are on it until we hit around 25-30 TH. Then I will switch the pool back to using Stratum for BTC (I'd rather stay on p2pool, but as of now it's really not meant for this application.) In the meantime, the altcoin profits are more than making up for any perceived loss of income with P2pool. Currently I have a profit of ~0.05371482 BTC over the past 24 hours with my Little Single (~28 GH), which is over 250% what I would have made just mining Bitcoin. I'm going to work on getting a Profit/MH/Sec and Profit/GH/Sec graph up on the main page so people can see exactly how the multiports are doing, but it requires a little backend work. |

Open your eyes and read what's going on for crying out loud. It's a very, very, very, very, very, very, obvious scam.
Bury your head in the sand if you want. Good luck with that.
Those who scream "it's a scam" just say that and nothing else. What happened to mcxNow was a bad decision to stop trading (this could be avoided if Real Solid halted support for a while, fixed the bugs, implemented new features etc). But what's done is done. It's silly to complain now. What people should do now is stay calm, be rational and do NOT sell the mcxFEE until the v3 site appears. I'll be back in this topic when v3 shows up and ask the same ones who are accusing mcxNow of "scam" if they will apologize for the false claim. The scam is selling hundreds or thousands of BTC in fee shares for 0.4 BTC each that he has no intention of ever paying fees on, weeks before shutting down. Telling everyone to withdraw their coins, making him plenty more in transaction fees, unwithdrawable dust, etc. It also gives him cover in case he ever has to talk to authorities after he disappears with the rest of the coins in his exchange. Everyone has to withdraw because he has to do his testing on the live site? Can't create another DNS record and vhost? Maybe he could use some of his millions for a dev server? |

Any chance we could get an option to show scrypt profitability relative to mining LTC instead of against BTC?
Given the sky-high BTC difficulty and specialized hardware it just doesn't quite make as much sense using BTC as reference as it did 6 months back.
Good point. I will add this to my to-do list. |

The payouts would only be fair if everyone had a very similar hashrate
How do you figure? It would be fair to every single miner. It could even use pure PPS. You pick a percentage, X. If you mine a block, you get X% of the block reward less the pool fee. For each share, you get (100-X)% of the PPS rate less the pool fee. and variance would be huge. Miners don't like variance. Variance would be precisely as high or as low as you want it to be. Set X to 0 and you get perfect PPS with no variance at all. Set X to 100% and you get the same variance as solo mining. You get to choose exactly how much variance you want. If difficulty never increases, sure. If block rewards never change, sure. But both of these things happen and miners most likely to find blocks in the near term (when difficulty is lower and block reward is higher) would benefit most. |

Happy Thanksgiving to all our US miners!

What is the possibility to add merged mining when BTC is the most profitable coin to mine? Devcoin, groupcoin, i0coin, ixcoin, & namecoin Would this be worth it or a waste of time?
Anyhow - love the Mulipool concept. I will be adding some gh/s when my asic's are back from RMA
It looks like namecoin and i0coin are the only two that would be worth it at the moment. The others would add more stales than the returns they'd give. I'll be adding those two as soon as I have time to update the pool code to support them. Merge coins are a little different since they don't have their own shares, so the payouts for those will need to be calculated based on the BTC shares. |

Can you please change the listing for Multipool.us, we are now a Bitcoin P2Pool node, we do pay tx fees for bitcoin, the fee has been lowered to 0% for the remainder of 2013, and our reward system is Proportional over multiple blocks (last 2 blocks found for BTC, to approximately match P2pool's 24 hour PPLNS.)
Actually maybe it makes more sense to list us as variable PPLNS since that's closer to how the payouts work now. |

Great returns these past 2 days and we're close to having critical mass to move from P2pool to mining BTC directly!

In case anyone is new to multimining, I recommend using an exchange like Cryptsy which has auto-trading.
Put your Cryptsy deposit address for each alt-coin (eg. PPC, TRC etc) in as the multipool.us withdrawal address, and on Cryptsy set the coins to auto-sell. This way you'll still just get BTC from your mining, but a little bit more when the alts are more profitable to mine.
What's the average profit that user make with autosales on? It varies from day to day, depending on altcoin prices. You can make 150-200% of what you would make mining bitcoin on a good day. |

Nice! I'll move my jalapeńo from BTCGuild to Multipool.us right now!
Welcome botolo! |

Oh, I see what you're saying now. Give the block finder a larger percentage of the block found.
I doubt you'd find many people to mine at a pool with that reward system. The payouts would only be fair if everyone had a very similar hashrate and variance would be huge. Miners don't like variance.

Really love to see p2pool incorporated on ltc and nvc, specially with the prices going up
I attempted to put LTC on p2pool, however the daemon could not even handle 200 MH when I tried. I'm hoping that ForrestV will implement threading soon so it can take advantage of multiple CPUs. |

I have been trying to look for a BTC pool that would
- Allow you to mine
- Anonymously and without registration
- Reward you for a block that you'd mined up to x% (say 66% - 75%)
- Paid out the remainder of the mined block to the other miners on one of the usual share bases.
- Had very low fees - anywhere from 0% to 0.5%
I have not found a pool that fulfils these criterion.
So I was thinking that this might be an interesting opportunity.
Would you mine in a pool that offered these features?
Are there any other features / options etc. which would persuade you to shift from your current pool, or from solo-mining?
Just trying to gauge interest here. If I can drum up a threshold level of interest (say 1TH/s or so), I'd invest the resources needed to set this up.
You'll need to flesh this out a bit more. It sounds like you might just be talking about Proportional payouts, which some pools already do, but I'm not sure. |

MEC block reward halved this morning also

I thought the LKY fork did not take effect until block 100,000 |

Anyone having trouble getting their miners to connect to the Zetacoin port?
Should be fixed now. |

Never really used MCXNow. Can someone give me a short explanation as to how people were screwed/scammed by the exchange closing down?
Only people who held not-really-shares in the exchange. It closed very quickly after raising a huge amount of money. Except the insiders and RS's buddies who were tipped off early. |
