Good to know, however I was watching the multipool one evening and saw it switch to WDC and soon after LKY jumped up to 10.8. It took about 10 minutes before the switch over to LKY. LKY is only profitable to mine every three-four days and only for about 20 minutes. If we don't jump onto it as soon as it becomes profitable then there isn't much point in having it on the multipool.

I sometimes think the maturity speed of a coin should be considered for profitability. LKY is dumb to mine to me as it takes hours for the coin mature and probably half a day for it to finally clear in cryptsy to sell. By then the coin value has dropped considerably.  Guess you can hold it for the next rise but don't have the patience to track all my coin sales to that level.

And when I say maturity speed should be considered, referring to maybe we shouldn't be mining coins that take forever to mature after you mine them. But perhaps that's just for the way I mine and sell coins so is a singular opinion.

As I've said before, most if not all of the altcoins are likely going to 0 over the long term, because none of them are doing any serious development of a market of any sort for their coin.  It's a real shame, because as I've also said before, it's still anyone's game; BTC only has a 2 year lead which is practically nothing on any long-term scale.

If LKY is at 1200%, then it probably makes sense to mine even if the price drops by 50% before you can sell it (which as far as I can see, is not a common occurrence.  The daily fluctuation is in the order of 10% or so).  Your concerns are valid, however, and if I had to go back and do this over again I probably would not add LKY or ARG.  However, as I've already done the work to add them and it costs me practically nothing to keep them on, and they do give a small amount of additional profit, there's not really a reason to remove them at this point.

I agree, LKY doesn't become profitable to mine because its value has gone up, it's because its difficulty has dropped precipitously. It doesn't happen very often but when it does, it only makes sense to mine it. I wouldn't mind if more coins which are some times highly profitable were added to the pool.

Does anyone know where I can find my worker passwords? I've searched the site and I'm either blind or they aren't listed.

No specific PW needed that's why no longer listed. Under Account, on left side MANAGE WORKERS you make new workers and set diff. All you need.
GL!

What's going on with MP?  Just got up and checked and all my miners are hashing full speed but not reporting anything. Doesn't look like I have had a payout in a while either and hash rate is dead on the site.

No offense, but I figured after the fee started being charged we might see a downtick in all these site and mining issues.  What gives?

[Aurum]

Maybe a melt down with so many FTC going to mcxNOW

[not.you]

The dips in the very beginning are me working on some of my miners, the long high section after that is my normal everything working rate, the next low section was when a miner crashed in the night.  The very last dip with the arrow over it is what I am referring to.  Everything should have been mining as normal right there and indeed when I looked at the miners they were hashing at a normal rate and submitting shares.  For what it is worth the entire pool hash rate for CGB was reporting way low on the website (got down to 1.3 Mhs from a normal closer to 100 Mhs) at the same time this was happening.



I have multiple miners all on this same account.

I think I see what the problem is..  It wasn't you.

The fee is for my time spent maintaining the site, it's not a guarantee of no issues.

That said, there have been far fewer issues over the past few weeks than before the fee was instituted.  So I'm not really sure what you mean.

Of FTC price you mean?

Different issue this morning..  This morning was a DB issue.  Not really sure what happened as I was sleeping at the time, but DB issues are fairly benign as the pools will hold the shares in memory until the DB connection can be reestablished.  So nothing was lost.

Looks like "Profit Snapshot" has been rising nicely last few days .

Hey flound,
Kudos on making those pesky unrecovered stratum disconnects disappear. I haven't had one in days, it's great. Keep up the good work.

Request: With 10 miners I sure would appreciate a faster way to see that they're all running nicely. A table with miners on left and hr/coin horizontal. You wouldn't even need a column for each coin. All I need to see is that the 1 minute hash rate is positive for each miner at a glance. Maybe a total 1 and 10 min hr too.
Cheers, Aurum

I shall investigate.

[flound1129]

Yeah, there's some really weird bug in the payment script..  And it's very random that it happens.  This must have been introduced when I changed the payout formula somehow because it never happened before that.  But it's really strange as it is counting the number of shares for each user, and it gets the total number of shares for the block and the block value, but somehow all the values wind up being 0.  And if I rerun the payments, everything is normal.

So until I figure this out, I've added some additional logic to not mark a block as scored and also email me an alert if the total reward is 0..

I've searched all recent cronjob logs and these WDC blocks are the only ones affected. I'm repaying them all now.

Found a couple more WDC blocks and a MEC block that had the same issue.. Paying those out now.

Would you let a legal botnet connect to your pool?

Read more here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=301468.new#new

All miners would be connecting from a single block/range of IP addresses.

Hi flound. There seems to be something wrong with dgc. My stats show very low efficiency(like 40%) and my 24 hour profit snapshot got a lot lower from 0.093 to 0.082 BTC from when multiport started mining dgc to now. Where is the problem .

Next step in evolution of mining and autoselling: shorting whatever coin is being mined at multipool and lower the price, then buy back cheaper or buy into the autosell. Worked nicely. Thanks!
