[ANN][The Original Multipool - Scrypt/SHA256/Scrypt-N/X11] multipool.us

I checked the help, but didn't find much information on this.

How does the lock portion work for our account?

I notice we can check lock and then hit save and it won't let you change the address from logging in right? Do we then need to use our pin instead of our account password to unlock it or does the siteadmin have the only control to unlock it?

[redtwitz]

I'm using cgminer with a load-balance configuration between multiport, WDC, DGC & FTC. I was leaving multiport out but then PXC and LKY tempted me. I notice that sometimes I get as high as 20% reject rate and never less than 2%.

The CGMiner documentation specifically says you shouldn't do this.

Do not use on multiple block chains at the same time!

CGMiner isn't meant to handle multiple block chains. If you are load-banacing between, e.g., LTC and FTC, you might wind up sending LTC shares to the FTC pool (or vice versa).

Multiport already mines the most profitable coin, so mixing it with other coins makes little sense. An alternative to MUltiport would be using CGWatcher, with lets you schedule mining tasks.

CGminer reporting just now, a whole bunch of rejected shares due to MySQL gone down or so (messages truncated at that point). Pls look at it.

EDIT: Looks like a temporary hiccup on pool1.us.multipool.in:7777 seems back to normal now.

To unlock a payout address, enter your PIN in the field that says PIN (for unlock only) and click the button Unlock.

I think the direct mining ports for LKY, ARG, and PXC should be re-enabled. When the pool is not on those coins there is no way to redeem the round shares you have accumulated for them as no blocks are being found.

I deleted the "load-balance" and just use "fail-over" with multiport first. It's been running ~5 hours with less than a 0.25% rejection rate. I also changed expiry to be one second longer than scan-time, 61 and 60.

Is "load-balance" good for a situation like wemineltc where there's 5 servers available but they're all for LTC?

Blocks are found so fast when the multiport is on those coins that your shares will have been paid out several times before the multiport moves off.  Mining more will also not prevent your old shares from falling off.  There's really no reason to include shares from a previous multiport mining session in the next session, with these fast coins.

(yeah I said I wasn't going to be here today..  see how well that worked out)

For those of you dissing on the multiport, I made over 0.05 BTC last night just on PXC.  That's almost a full day's worth of what dustcoin says that I should be making if I was mining LTC directly, in about 10 hours.



Anyway, I'm taking a little break from multipool today after working on it for 20 hours straight yesterday.  I'll keep an eye on the switching, but other than that I will address any other issues tonight or tomorrow.

I diss on it constantly, but I hang around so I can give you all hell for mining coin-of-the-day bullshit!

Ahh but in a pool is not mining directly is it. If the pool was mining LTC directly I doubt we would be going 30Hrs w/out finding a block. No way any miner is efficient switching coins constantly.

It's all cool, not my pool, I'm good with however Flound sets it. He's the reason I stay instead of going to a LTC only. He does what he say's he'll do.. that's huge compared to most.

Be well.

Looks like the pool is down 

[paulm]

And it's back up 

[flound1129]

I try...

[flound1129]

So I looked at the stratum code today and cleaned it up a little.  Added automatic DB reconnect, fixed the worker name checking code, and took out some unused code. I am beta testing the new code on the mnc port (hi ISAWHIM, underlmr)

The "real" test will be the next time the multiport switches..  So please let me know if you see any issues.

What about payment for ARG blocks

What about payment for ARG blocks

They were paid, the detailed payout data didn't make it into the DB due to a technical issue.

Kind of a newbie question regarding multiport mining.  I noticed it switched from MNC to FTC. 

FTC average block time is currently 15mins, forgot what MNC's was, but it would obviously be less on average.

Does the pool wait until at least one block is solved before going on to the next cryptocoin?   If the answer is yes,
does it then quit if say 2 hours pass and it doesn't find anything, especially if there's something a lot more juicy to mine?

The multiport will switch to the higher profitable coin even if it doesn't find a block. Happens often with higher difficulty coins like LTC and NVC.

What ryen said.  There is a minimum time to stay on each coin, but it's mainly to prevent 'flapping' every minute between 2 coins that are close in price.

Can't withdraw DGC
