YAAMP Based Pool http://hashpower.coWe have put together the yaamp software. There's a bit to learn but I feel it's all running fine now. We have most of the good X11, X13, X15 quark and neoscript coins as of now. We should add scrypt and qubit coins next. Thanks

Hi,
can you post sample for algo switching for sgminer?
Thank you.

Mining seems to be working well so far, and the pool's coin selection is at least good enough that my miners are spending time on it on-and-off, so that's a plus. Payouts have been regular, but with a slight problem... It's not entirely the pool's fault, but it seems that payouts are being made with extremely low transaction fees, which due to the strange spamming of the blockchain that's going on right now, has resulted in payments that haven't confirmed in over 15 hours as of writing this. Obviously lower tx fees are good for profitability of the pool/its miners, but when it's at the point that transactions simply aren't confirming at all, perhaps some adjustment is due . Just for comparison's sake, another YAAMP clone my miners have been frequenting is spending more on tx fees (though it has higher pool fees in general) and its payments have been going through fine all day.

Hello, Thank you for your interest in this pool. We havent changed anything from the original yaamp code regarding payments. It uses the sendmany function with no special parameters to lower the fees. But im having problems sending BTC around too. I sent BTC from my phone's blockchain app to cryptsy yesterday and it's still not confirmed yet. Here are some information on algo switching for sgminer. https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=multialgo

Yeah, someone (or some group) has been bombarding the blockchain with spam transactions with higher-than normal fees, making it so that very few transactions with lower/no tx fees are getting confirms. This may go away at some point, but it's doing a good job of simulating how the network performs when block space becomes scarce and a, "fees market", decides what gets confirmed and what doesn't. Unfortunately, payouts from the pool are currently falling into the, "what doesn't", category. Might be able to just ride this one out (if it ever stops), but it might be good to look at a method of handling these sorts of situations in the future, as this probably isn't the last time we'll see these conditions.

My payouts from ffpool have been confirming quickly. I would not be in favour of higher fees for faster confirmations in any case.

Yes, ffpool sends with higher tx fees and their payments have been going out fine. Hashpower, on the other hand, has far lower tx fees, to the point where they're being treated like 0 fee transactions and have gotten buried in the backlog. If they get dropped from miners' mempools, I dunno how the issue will be resolved, but it seems a bit extreme that it's even a possibility. Example tx from Hashpower; over 24 hours and still not confirmed. Example tx from ffpool; went through fine around the same time. Notice also how the tx fee is over 100x higher than the Hashpower fee (~14 cents versus Hashpower's ~0.12 cents). I'm not particularly worried about payments taking a few hours to confirm, but when they're taking so long that they're potentially in danger of being dropped from miners' mempools and/or never confirming, that seems like a problem.

[/quote] I haven't tried hashpower yet, that's another thread, but I have noticed delays with some other pools. But when you consider it takes most coins 5 hours to mature another few hours isn't a big deal. I'm pleased with ffpool's fees (lower than yaamp's) and payouts so far. If fees could be lowered by reducing the payout interval, even better. Every 3 hours is a bit much when only raking in a couple of mBTC. How about .001 BTC minimum daily and .005 intraday?

Umm, I think you might be on the wrong thread, as this one is Hashpower's... Otherwise I agree entirely about ffpool; it's working just fine, though perhaps paying out a bit too often. Hashpower's mining seems to be working great too, it's just that payouts in the last >24 hours haven't actually gotten confirmed due to the state of the network at the moment combined with the low tx fees.

Thanks for running this new pool! Been on for the last two days. Agreed the unconfirmed transactions are a little disconcerting, but so long as hashpowerco will resend in case the transactions disappear, can't complain about 0% fees! Just wish there more miners were here to reduce variance, but what can you do?

Thanks for pointing to nicehash multialgo examples but i already knew that. The only difference is that nicehash use "f0=?" while on hashpower pass is which algo we are using.. Anyway, just for other users to know i'll post my config file example which seems that it's working on hashpower. This is profit switching between x11,qubit and quark assuming that speed for x11=8Mh/s, Qubit=16 and quark =13.3:
{ "pools" : [ { "name" : "hashpower_x11", "url" : "stratum+tcp://hashpower.co:3533", "user" : "your BTC address here", "pass" : "x11=8,qubit=16,quark=13.3", "algorithm" : "darkcoin-mod", "intensity" : "18", "worksize" : "64", "gpu-threads" : "2" }, { "name" : "hashpower_qubitcoin", "url" : "stratum+tcp://hashpower.co:4733", "user" : "your BTC address here", "pass" : "x11=8,qubit=16,quark=13.3", "algorithm" : "qubitcoin", "intensity" : "18", "worksize" : "64", "gpu-threads" : "2" }, { "name" : "hashpower_quark", "url" : "stratum+tcp://hashpower.co:4033", "user" : "your BTC address here", "pass" : "x11=8,qubit=16,quark=13.3", "algorithm" : "quarkcoin", "intensity" : "18", "worksize" : "64", "gpu-threads" : "2" } ], "failover-only" : true, "failover-switch-delay" : "300", "queue" : "0" }
If you have any suggestions please write a replay. Thanks in advance.

If both pools use the same yaamp code for payments, I guess we just got out of luck. Our bitcoin wallet might be the problem. We're running 0.10.2 which is the latest build for windows available from bitcoin.org.
We're still investigating and following transactions to make sure everyone gets their payments.

Thanks. Currently I can see the broadcasts but no confirmations.

Hi Hashpowerco, Is the x11 pool okay? The average hashing rate since the last block found has been ~180MH/s. The odds of not having found a StartCoin in that period are somewhere between 1% and 4% (depending on what the difficulty during that period has been). Just making sure it's bad luck and nothing more sinister!

And the old transactions didn't come thru yet. The fee was really too low. I've stopped mining here because I'm not sure if I'll get my btcs in the end. Please speak.

I disabled payments until all tx are confirmed. I understand if you go mine somewhere else until it's all fixed. In the meantime, I'm trying to understand about how to increase tx fees.

We have loaded up with DigitalCash DASH (DRK) so that in the meantime, we can payout with DASH
Thanks
