It's true PPLNS prevents pool hopping, but it doesn't stop coin hopping. Nothing can do that. And it just makes sense to mine the most profitable coin, if profits are the goal.

But what assumptions go into the profitability calculations?  Specifically, is there an assumption that you "cash" the newly mined coin in to realize the profit being calculated since the value of a coin can fluctuate?  Or is there a form of "dollar cost averaging" going on here (though DCA only has one independent variable and profitability has 2 or more)?

The assumption is that you immediately convert your coins to the more desirable coin (In this case BTC).  I realize that prices fluctuate, but that is a problem if you're manually switching your miners as well.  I am simply automating the process.

What's up with all the orphans in FTC today?

[kslavik]

Something is wrong with FTC: 4 orphans in a raw. Can you cripple it with 20% setback at multipool?

Looks like a possible fork.  I just disabled it off the multiport altogether.

You must have missed this:

May 15th Update: Mandatory update version 0.6.4 released with 504 block retarget and difficulty adjust on block 33,000.

There was a hard fork. All the orphans were trying to mine for the same block as well. Once you get FTC updated we should be good to go!

I updated to that version long ago, the trouble started when we were on block 33562.

Edit: actually, that's some kind of bug, because the raw share data indicates that the following blocks were orphaned.

mysql> select username,block_num from shares_found limit 4;
+--------------+-----------+

The fork appears to have resolved, but the pool lost 600 FTC that was already paid out.

I am going to have to manually roll back those payments before I even think about re-enabling FTC on the mutliport.

Glad I spotted it sooner than later and reported via email. Hope te bug reporting is helping you guys out and yikes at 400FTC loss be sure to send me 499.99999 of it jokes but sad to see a losss tho. I guesss not too much bust still its a loss. However not too big court in time and reported soon as I seen the spot on it.

Sucks that this happened, . I hope you get the problems resolved.

On an un-related note (or related?), is it normal to try and cash out some coins and it appear to not do anything? Ex. there's no confirm/denial message, and it's hard to tell if things are going through due to the database lag.

The pool didn't really lose all 600 because the wallet balance was only around 315 after the block we found this morning.  Now it's 0.  So we're actually at -594 right now, after I roll back the orphans we should be ok.

But the miners who spent time mining those blocks will lose the whole 600 which is unfortunate.

I created a poll on Cryptocointalk.org for what should replace SXC as the next coin on Multipool.

The next coin will be multiport ONLY (you won't be able to mine it directly).

Mincoin client update... (It is not the one on the front page... you have to get it from one of the pool-operators who created it.)

It says 6.0.3 (oddly enough, but it is actually v0.6.4.0-g9498fec-beta For the QT client GUI) the one on the front page was 6.3.0 which does not seem to actually work. Who knows what is going on there? Another "copy-paste" coin that dies, because no-one actually knows how to program it, that created it from a previously flawed system.

Seems a lot is failing in the any-coin world...

I am solo-mining, difficulty 0.363099 (23.8K)... on CGminer 3.2.0 & 3.2.1 (3.1.0 didn't work)

I don't think YAC can be scrypt mined.

Looks like you're right, I'll remove that from the poll.

Too true: YAC uses "scrypt-jane" which is similar, but not quite the same.

Looks like we found another FTC block, seems like people want to mine it enough that they switched from the multiport to directly mining it.

Do you guys want it back on the multiport?  I'm going to have to increase confirms back up to 120.
