Flound, I still cant set diff for my workers on trc pool. Im on pool2 have it set on the website but my workers still mine at diff 1. can you look into it?
Custom diff should be working for TRC across all pools now. If there are no issues in the next few days I will begin rolling it out to other coins. Many thanks mate. Its working now.  One last thing, pool1.eu shows as down for me, is there any problem? Also im getting a lot of rejected/stale shares, its like 3000 on every 10000 shares. I was getting that even before diff was fixed. Can you post your settings? |

None block of 2 hours at a speed of 800+ on terracoin.
What nonsense is that?
The impression is that the Shares fly away to nowhere.
Very like a hoax pool
TRC 716.6 GH/s 7h3m 0.00132053 2.4812

I'd like to know the economics (macro, micro, behavioral) behind people's assumptions that none of the changes will work. Didn't realize we were all trained economics professionals....
I'm sure the change will work "about" as well as the FTC change did, since it's basically the same fix (ftc has a maximum drop/increase of around 40%) From Baritus's example: EXAMPLE
Before:
1. Pool hopping software mines the easy blocks and pushes difficulty to 5
2. Pool hopping hash power leaves and DGC retargets to difficulty 1 because of the lack of hash power
3. Pool hopping software gets on again, mines most of the easy blocks, and pushes difficulty to 5
4. Repeat....
After:
1. Pool hopping software mines the easy blocks and pushes difficulty to 5
2. Pool hopping hash power leaves and DGC retargets to 2.5 difficulty
3. Regular miners join the network because of the improved profitability
4. Network stabilizes at that hash rate because pool hopping software will not switch due to low difficulty spikes
I'd suspect what will actually happen will be that we will bounce between 2.5 and 5, instead of 1 and 5, but at double the frequency. It might be that we mine other coins when the diff is 2.5, in which case another retarget will now happen even more quickly back to an easy diff when we hop back on. Rinse and repeat. Overall, I think that this patch is a good thing, since it has a chance to rid the coin of the extremely low difficulty periods where the stale rate is high and many blocks are orphaned because they're being found too quickly. But it will do next to nothing about the "multipool problem" that it purports to cure. |

Multipool pays after 20 confirms now.

Anyone know if MEC is broken again ? My deposit never made it to Cryptsy (no record of it being sold either).
FYI, my account sent 36 MEC to Cryptsy @ 7:15 this morning and @ 7:56 it was auto-sold for BTC. Been a few hours for me now, still nothin. I've sent many MEC to cryptsy today with no problem. I can look up the transaction for you if you need me to. |

I really wish you would get LTC and NVC on to a larger pool. I would bet my grandmother that profits would increase dramatically. I don't care what anyone says about the "odds". And yes that includes having to pay an additional 1 to 1.5% in fees.
I'm all for this and working on it. Things take time. For now I have added a profit handicap for LTC that should prevent us from switching to it unless it is far and away the most profitable coin. |

DGC taking some serious beating on Cryptsy...  Is diff fix helped with multipool problem? DGC is being gamed. They're walking the dog and picking up tons of coins for the new exchange. The drop is too consistent and too organized given there's zero bad news about the coin and zero bashing. When they're done picking up a few million coins they'll pop it. I'm planning to pick up a ton of it next week if it's still this low. It's a steal. Baritus might be a coward and a senseless, arrogant fool with no business sense; but DGC doesn't need him anymore than Yahoo needed Jerry Yang or Groupon needed Andrew Mason. Buy all the DGC you can and enjoy the trip! Or maybe people noticed that Baritus, after stalling for months on a fix, couldn't even be bothered to copy a better diff algo from another coin, opting instead to tweak a couple variables in the code that will have approximately zero effect on the multipools. Just a thought. Could have sworn I see dgc much less being raped by multipool since this latest update. Seems to be doing pretty well so far. It'd be interesting if that were the case sine the new algo doesn't take effect for another 50,000 blocks or so. |

You know what fuck you all. DGC and other coins like it is open source code for anyone to use. Why dont u guys try to make an exchange and other services for it? i'd bet you every penny i have that you couldn't in the current timeframe since cryptoave's announcement. Flound your good to talk your multipool has a shit frontend which is always down for some random reason. even middlecoin or hashco.ws has a more usable and user orientated site.
Good then maybe you can start begging nearmiss for help on freenode all the time instead of bothering me. |

Anyone good with JS? I need some code to expand/contract the windows at the top of the screen with the coin information and also sort the tables.

I don't understand this. Been mining DGC for 25 mins. now yet my "unconfirmed" isn't moving even with tons of blocks found. Switching to scryptmining pool.
EDIT: Of course as soon as i say that it starts zooming up. But why nothing for 20 mins. in unconfirmed then starts zooming up ? Some kind of glitch ?
EDIT: "unconfirmed" stopped moving again. High orphan rate.
Unconfirmed doesn't update realtime, the payment script runs every 5 minutes. When we're on fast coins, we find upwards of 50-100+ blocks between when the script runs, so it takes a while to calculate payments. Sometimes the script is still running after 5 minutes, which prevents another instance of the script from running. It's yet another shitty vestige of the simplecoin system that I started with. Eventually I'll rewrite it, but I have other priorities right now. |

Is that high orphan rate due to some issue related to Multipool? no this is the result of 2 GH on a 0.8 diff coin We didn't have these orphan issues until updating to the latest DGC code. My bet is it's something in the client. |

Nice idea. gonna try it.
Welcome! |

Also, just to verify, you are running the latest Megacoin client, 0.8.996, correct? It appears you are but I just thought I'd make sure.
Yes, it is trading on Cryptsy again, the price appears stable. |

Also -- where are you pulling the MEC price from? MEC currently isn't trading on Cryptsy and it's been sitting at 0.00006 on multipool for quite a while now. I sent you an Email on it...but I'm thinking we should probably disable MEC on the multiport until it's at least trading at a reputable exchange. At PhenixEX (the only exchange actively trading MEC right now after the fork this morning) it's currently trading at 0.00000009 BTC.
It's not forked, there was a "recall" on the latest version this morning, I updated and the network is fine, no forks are being reported in the MEC thread. Cryptsy just hasn't re-enabled it yet. PhenixEx is currently completely broken, people can't get coins in or out for the past 2-3 days. I'd rather rely on a 12 hour quote from Cryptsy than a quote from PhenixEx. |

Seems to work, I received some more today. The question is about getting hung up on long blocks, unlucky while other coins pay better as any residual mners have no chance of finishing a block really
LTC compares well mostly so I think its ok to wait to switch till finding a block, whats the longest a block has taken us recently
It's hard to know as the stats show time between blocks but not if it was sustained or the MP went to other coins in between. I know there was a 15 minute period I was watching that no blocks were found and no payouts. Is the gaps between payout worth it if you eventually get a block? Not sure. I know when the MP is mining it shows like 3 hours in the stats to find a block give or take luck. There is an available block out there now but we are mining something else now. JR We mined LTC for about 5.5 hours today and found 8 blocks. We're supposed to find about a block an hour. People are struggling to understand how averages work. Maybe we hit LTC 2 times for 30 minutes each and don't find a block...but then the next time it hits it for an hour and finds 3. Higher hash rates help consistency...but in the long-run consistency isn't really that big of a deal as long as it all averages out in the end. I think there *is* actually an issue that happens when the network hashrate spikes, however. When the LTC block time goes substantially less than 2.5 minutes, we definitely find fewer than expected blocks. I've seen this play out over and over again. It's not simply an averaging thing. If the block time is at 2 minutes, we have 20% less time to find a block (on average, before a block is found on the network), so we are likely to find about 20% fewer blocks. It is during these times that connecting to a larger pool would give us an advantage. If there is some flaw in my reasoning here someone please point it out. |

Been 48 hours now. Still no deposit.
This is starting to smell kind of scammy.
