[ANN][LTC][Pool][PPLNS] [ Stratum ] give-me-ltc.com 1% FEE [10 block confirms!]

[CoinHoarder]

I'm getting 1% stales.. the lowest I've got on any LTC pool. I'm enjoying the neat graphs and lower fees too... the PPLNS is so fast with only 10 confirms, it seems like a PPS pool.   

Nice work fellas!

Great! looking froward to stratum then

Small thing, but on the User Stats page, the 'My Income' chart, I believe the y axis should say LTC instead of BTC,    Unless you want to pay me that much BTC per day, I'm cool with that to...

I knew about this bug and forgot to mention it in beta reports, my fault as a tester.

also, ill give you my updated list, give-me-ltc.com still number one, and when stratum arrives - it would be hard to even compare to anything else.

1. give-me-ltc.com 2% and 10 confirm only no invalids ,  now at 98 -2 = 96% efficiency
2. coinotron.com 2% pplpns 120 confirms + some inv ,  now at 96 -2   = 94% efficiency
3. litecoinpool.org 5% pps   no inv , now at 98 -5                             =  93% efficiency
4. coinotron.com 3.5%  pps + some inv  , now at 95-3.5                    = 91,5% efficiency

 eficiency gap - p2pool shuld me somwhere in here

5.ozcoin DGM  2% + lots of invalid rejects and slowdowns of hashrate [not enough work], that bad for gpu's! around 87% efficiency
6.notroll.in 4% + lots of invalid rejects and slowdowns of hashrate [not enough work], that bad for gpu's!  around 85% efficiency
7.ozcoin pps  4% + lots of invalid rejects and slowdowns of hashrate [not enough work], that bad for gpu's! around 85% efficiency
8.burnside     0%  + oh s**t! stales and invalids rejects [20 - 100%]  around 75% efficiency


its of course on my connection from europe, but i easlyt found many other's had similar experience.

i also experienced high rejects at LTCMine.ru , but that one i couldn't confirm that others had the same problem so i do not want to put them here before i can see I'm not the only one. LTCMine.ru is stratum-only pps with 3% and would be on place 6 after ozcoin dgm.

also tested everything in here https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Comparison-of-mining-pools but not found anything worth mentioning.

Looks like it was part of the original template. Should be fixed now

you guys got irc or raidcall or teamspeak chat ?

you guys got irc or raidcall or teamspeak chat ?

been a bit crazy. Hopeing to setup a pool chat system. If you want to have a chat with me im on btc-e chat and freenode. Also if you want you can add me on google talk (send me a pm and ill add you).

Stratum support has been added!!

[xorxor]

Stratum support has been added!!

wow, allready? 

there is no automatic swich, you need to send the X-Stratum header fot cgminer and other stratum compatibile miners swich to stratum automatically without new config.

Hey, that's the plan. At this point I know that there are a few miners without stratum support on their miners so we are going to give everyone a few days to switch over before we auto switch.

[FullLife]

I'm in this pool, been great so far, very well run and nice site.  Keep up the good work!

[davebodger]

Is it possible to use CPUminer with something else to make it work over stratum?
If not, what CPU miner do you recommend?

(I am using Windows 7 and CGminer seems not to do CPU mining in Windows binaries).

you can see if the stratum proxy works with CPUminer. If you pm or email me ill be happy to send you some instructions

Thanks very much, that pointed me in what seems to be the right sort of direction:-
I am now running slushs mining proxy v1.5.2 with these parameters:  -o stratum.give-me-ltc.com -p 3333
It seems to be working and passing through LONGPOLL messages but not supplying any work; so no accepted shares??
Or is it actually working but won't tell me until it reaches 32 accepted shares (because of difficulty 32) ?
I'm only doing 60kh/s with 11 cpu cores on this machine so that could take a while 
I have another machine I will route via this proxy but want to get this machine working OK first.

You need a stratum-mining-proxy with scrypt. http://ltcmine.ru/mining_proxy.exe
mining_proxy.exe -pa scrypt (+ the parameters for the pool)

Any ideas?

You need a stratum-mining-proxy with scrypt. http://ltcmine.ru/mining_proxy.exe
mining_proxy.exe -pa scrypt (+ the parameters for the pool)

Thanks for that mate

Thanks very much for all your help guys - stratum proxy all up and running OK here now.
That's another 120kh/s off of getwork and onto stratum. 
Once bitcoin diff hits 10M I will switch over all my GPUs - that should boost the pool a bit.

Beautifully done pool.  I have less that 4% stales or otherwise rejected shares over the past 36 hours, and that is with heavy overclocking.  The web interface is great!  I see no reason to mine any other pool, unless you are a pool-hopper.  Burnside's is good, but does not yet support the Stratum protocol, and I get a much higher reject rate there, too.  Come on in, the mining is good here!

on stratum, 70 hours testing:

1,3% stales.

 now this pool is seriously away from competition. congratulations.

Stratum support has been added!!

wow, allready?  

there is no automatic swich, you need to send the X-Stratum header fot cgminer and other stratum compatibile miners swich to stratum automatically without new config.

Hey, that's the plan. At this point I know that there are a few miners without stratum support on their miners so we are going to give everyone a few days to switch over before we auto switch.

from my experience auto-swich != geting-rid-of-getwork,  bitminter, emc, slush and more all have auto swich and still working with getwork on older miners.

p.s.
what changed the calculation of luck chart? [yeah, and made me panic like a moron on PM's]
I remember caclulating the old number of shares per block and finding it correct, but now the new one is.
