Doge Coin Pool Scams - Watchout

[msbtc]

Apparently because Dogecoin is so cheap, and the difficulty is so low, the incentive to scam miners is huge right now.

I've been through 4 of the major pools already and people are getting scammed left and right

- I'm mining at 3.2khs


fast-pool.com   - really?  150khs less hashrate for SOME REASON on each miner and they don't know why?  Gimme a break, their stealing khs from you somehow.

doge.Netcodepool.org  -   worked decent for the first half day, checking every hour. Then...  suddenly I've been hashing for 4 hours, I'm watching blocks get solved and not a single share is credited to my account (unconfirmed) except for one block.  They're counting on you not watching after the first day or so, blocks going bye bye and never crediting to you.  Likely every other block or more.  Unless you watch the blocks change you never notice...

doge.scryptpools.com   -  where to start-  worked great for a day, until you stop watching, then no withdrawals.  Just look up the thread and read all the angry posts from people whose doges were frozen indefinitely.

dogecoinpool.net   -  worked ok for awhile, admin was great and responded when I couldn't withdraw my doges, however blocks taking upwards of 40hours to solve.  My profit 'should'' be around 70-90,000 doge/day, and I was seeing 15k due to the long blocks or other.




what a frenzy we're in for doges, literally admins running pools to rip miners off of $9 worth of doges... how damn desperate!  Are these people in Nigeria or what?  Why not rip off something in a store and sell it for $1,000 to a pawn shop and buy millions of doges?  What's the damn deal for doing this and going to all this effort to rip miners off of $10 in doges?  Seriously!

watch out-  just about every pool will rip you off of your precious $10 or $20 in doges before you know it.  How can any work get done this way?

solo mining.  That's the only way.

I'm not sure it's a scam, but yeah something has happened with netcodepool.org. The last block I got any shares in was #33064, and the blocks after that one all have PPLNS shares at 0. So far there's 4 blocks with 0 PPLNS shares. Not sure what's going on.

Edit: I've been mining 24/7 on it since this last tuesday with no issues though. So I'm sure it's just some hickup or something.

Netcodepool was great initially before all of the downtime. I processed quite a few withdraws there.

Same with scryptpools. They were my primary pool after switching from Netcodepool. After cashing out a few times and becoming comfortable I let my balance grow. Once I started reading about being being unable to withdraw I went and requested one...surprise it hasn't come yet. :/

I am using suchcoins now. Any feedback on them?

Not every pool is scamming, I think many admins are a bit "overwhelmed" with demand for pool.

The problem is, there are only few "major" pools and the smaller ones have no chance in growth, they get almost no hashrates from the "big pie" so the majors ones always stay major and can mostly do what they want.

Support & Co does not count, its mostly just what comes out - the DOGEs..

I had also problems with multiple DOGE pools, until i decided to just mine some other coins with less profit, but less breakage and hashrate disappearance

i use suchcoins.com but nobody talks about them here.  are they any good?

fast-pool is the best one, I mine there for like 3-4 weeks and never had problem, hashrate is normal.
pay out works fine.
I don't know what your talking about of those lost shares

Hey if you are in the USA our mining pool is out of NY.  We use a P2Pool, so you get paid what you ACTUALLY mine and your not splitting your earnings with people who do nothing for the pool.
