vrm.poolinat0r.com - To do for 27th SeptemberSo far the pool seems to be working good, thank you anthbs for your help
We have hit 22 blocks so far
I will have some changes this evening (if time is enough
) --> i will announce changes on the stratum/restarts or anthing 30mins before they happen so miners have time to remove the miners. But changes on the difficulty/port adding shouldn't create a bigger downtime than 1-5mins
- Adding different ports with different difficulties. Right now, some very big miners are sending in way to many shares creating a very high CPU load which (happened only once yet) hat the payout/findblock cron to go into timeout.
- Testing snapshot/backup of the pool: I was doing this on testnet with only a few miners. This is a very important task because i want to ensure we have working/correct configured backups/snapshots -> If its working fine there will be one snapshot each day so in a crash, i can recover and we only loose 24h as a maximum amount
- Some changes on the MPOS frontend like saying: H/m instead h/s (not main task today
)
I need some input about your miner speed compared to the speed visible on the pool. My personal, visibla hashrate on the pool is about 20% higher compared to the mining directly with builtin wallet miner. With some more input i can adjust settings to be more accurate.
I need your input about fees of the pool please. I see, that VRM is requiring a minimum fee of 0.2 VRM per transaction, is this right? I have set it to 0.21 VRM per trnsation/payout right now because on the testnet i had the problem, that even with 0.2VRM per 50VRM transaction the transaction took very very long to get picked up by the testnet. If this 0.2VRM transaction fee is a need of VRM network, then there will always be the 0.2VRM fee which will get payed to the network and not to the pool.
Also some input about automatic payouts: I mean, let's say i fix it with 0.21VRM per transaction with a minimum of 5 VRM withdraw -> 5 - 0.21 = 4.79 VRM. So bigger withdraw amount might be better.
I will start with new ports for difficulties and vardiff support.
Is the actual hashrate "small enough" for most miners? Or do you need a port with less difficulty?
