Sorry but 460 megacoins when the difficulty was 10, finding blocks every 3minutes maximum and mining with 6000kh/s for 18hrs straight is a complete and total scam. That's 6 times under what I should have received. Since your pool corrected itself after 48hrs did it find my coins and credit my account with them? I don't think so. I can't believe people are still mining on this pool.

The payouts are ok now for almost 36 hours.

I was mining this pool for a while... Payouts seemed about right, but always a little lower than the Calculator.. I chalked that up to other pools finding blocks.

However, lookes like this pool is switched off for a while... Im heading to http://mega.minepool.net/

[gabrielknight]

How come without any announcement or news whatsoever the stratum is switched off suddenly?
To make matters worse, my miners keep mining while i have no idea where the hashrate is going to, cause it's not credited whatsoever??!!
 
I have been mining in this pool for a while, yes the pplns warmup somehow took longer that other  pools, 12 hours+ but after that they payout is normal. I've no problem with that.

But to disable the the stratum suddenly, now the software will keep mining like usual with none credited towards our account, this will CERTAINLY fools a lot of miners that kept faith with your pools.

Very dissapointed with this pool right now.

My apologies for not giving some notice.

I turned off stratum in response to ongoing accusations of the pool not paying out properly.

I have started to write new pool software from the ground up. I thought it would just be best to turn all mining off until the new system is ready.

The megacoin stratum instance has been turned off on that server - so I have no idea why your miner is still hashing - are you sure you don't have a fallback pool set?

[gabrielknight]

Hey ethought,

Yep, it turns out a few of my miners still has some old fallback pool set i forgot and it so happens that it was the one i'm monitoring lol
Anyway, any ETA on your pool being up again? Would like to see the warm-up being faster. 15 hours+ in order to get normal rate is a turn off for a lot of people right now.

Also, does anyone know where that big hash on the network came from? For example, right now network hash is around 414 mh/s. From every pool listed on the main MEC thread, the hashrate maybe only around 70 mh. 100 mh at most. So where do this 300 mh/s coming from? Multipool currently mining other currency, so that's not them. Surely this 300 mh/s does not come from solo mining, or is it?
Anyone know any link that shows Pool rate distribution charts or something?

Thanks.

At this stage no ETA - I expect it will take me a week or two at least. I am writing a new backend and frontend, so there is plenty of work to be done.

I will be moving away from pplns to a pps system - so there will be no warm up time - you will get paid for exactly the amount of shares you submit. Pplns was a good idea for slower coins like Bitcoin but I think it is essentially of no benefit to the faster generation of coins we are seeing today (who wants to pool hop every 30 seconds?) - and I find myself constantly having to explain to new miners why full payout is not reached instantly.

[gabrielknight]

I would love a PPS pool for MEC !  
In fact besides LTC and FTC, i think there's no other currency that has PPS pool right now. If you can make Megacoin PPS pool that will be awesome and i'll believe will bring a lot of hashes to the pool

Development is coming along nicely - I had a marathon session last night - another marathon starts now.

Multiple currencies / pools will run through the single website.

Most of the back end system has been done just need to finish off the PPS payment system. Then complete the website. Then test, test and test again. 

Here is a screen shot of the very early front end progress - nothing much to see but just to show work is being done:

Nice

[sikman]

Can someone please explain this for me?

Here is approx 24 hours of use with almost 10,000KH of power...

Results of 24 hours of mining is only 11,165 starcoins, WTF??

Transferred 11,165 to cryptsy and it only earns me 0.13btc

I'm totally pissed

Sorry to hear you are not happy with the pools performance.

I just checked your stats (as you are still mining on the pool) and found the following estimate:

sikman    7,843 KH/s    10,216.87 STR / 24 Hours

So your estimated daily earnings right now would be around 12500 STR / 24 hours for 10000 KH/s. Given orphans that have not been recorded (see below) I think what you received is pretty much as expected.

I think 3 issues have contributed to the problem.

1 - The estimates swings quite dramatically depending on the difficulty. So If you take a sample at the lowest difficulty the estimate will be much higher than the average.

2 - I made a change to the way hashrates are processed yesterday which caused estimate averages to stop updating for about 8 hours. So if your estimates had gone down in the last 8 hours the average did not adjust accordingly.

3 - I changed the way orphans were detected yesterday, which has not worked as expected and almost no orphans are showing up. See below for the list of recent orphans vs successful generates. If orphans had been reporting as they should have you 'Adjusted Estimate' would have been much closer to the mark I think.

Anyway, sorry for the disappointment.

thanks for the quick reply, my concern was the estimate was way way off. If I knew I would only get around 11-12,000 coins over 24 hours I wouldn't off mined it, but when i saw it estimated upwards of 40,000 I was thrilled. Your pool is good and have no other issues..
