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

[Jriker1]

Cryptsy seems pretty messed up. At least yesterday. Now Multipool is?  Stats show low hash rate overall, stats show I'm the top hash rate miner or only miner, and JSON is down.  Plus mining DGT at a crazy profitability number and no payouts for anything. Need to move elsewhere temporarily?

Something bad is going on. Site is partially down and I cannot connect to dgc pool.

Looks like the main :7777 url was down, but the getwork was up.

Also the My Stats display onsite was stuck, I think.

Hopefully the payouts on getwork that I switched to will be okay?

Is there a way to see lifetime hashes or lifetime uptime? I'm trying to figure out the overall efficiency of my miners and it's difficult because stats are broken apart by coin.

[bholzer]

Too many changes being made here for me...and currency-hopping isn't all that efficient anyway. I've just been mining MΣC directly since it's always in the top 5 anyway.

Wish we could hear something on what's up. Prefer not to move but my cards are hashing away for nothing. Rather stop them completely than run them for no reason. Have 6 miners so switching all is a pain.

I agree, I think something is up. CGMiner disconnected at 2:30 A.M. EST. I reconnected at 10 A.M. to mine CGB. CGMiner is running full speed but I'm not making any coins and my hashrate on website says zero. Switching to another pool for now.

Just moved to WeMineLTC for now. Quick profile I had setup already. Have to switch my gpus and CPUs so takes forever. Better than mining nothing.

Kewl, please keep us posted so i can switch back .

[flound1129]

Things should be back to normal now.

So I signed up just to thank flound for all his hard work on this pool.  I've been following this pool and been a member since its inception.  I constantly see people whining about not getting paid on litecoin when on the multipool cause we don't stick around long enough.  Would it not be a simple thing to just lock the multipool on the coin until we find a block, then carry on with our multipooling?  Same with NVC.  I'm perfectly content with following the pool around but this seems like a guarentee to get paid.  And also opens up the whining for why didn't we switch, coin 12398 was at 15% better profit.  You can't have both people.. Either accept what flounds done or go to another pool that doesn't give you the flexibility to mine what you want here.

This is no-longer an issue since flound has switched the pool to a proportional system. You get paid for the amount of shares you submit.

[fredeq]

I cannot connect to ftc pool.

E: It is working now, but was down from around 6:30 AM. Yesterday same happened to dgc pool. Both EU.

Please make sure you have the US pool set as a backup if you are using the EU pool.

You call it whining yet you offer a solution to the PROBLEM!! Stop contradicting yourself.

Had a typo in the cgminer username that I was trying to mine with, and it says I am locked out of the multipool web site from too many failed attempts. How can that be if I had the username on the client wrong, how would it know who to lock out? It's cleared itself now, but for two days it was telling me to contact support!

[paulm]

The minimum mining time never had anything to do with the scoring system, it was only to make sure we didn't switch too often.

Ok, but wouldn't be better to have a minimum difference instead of a minimum mining time. Let's say we start mining a coin that has a minimum mining time of 10 minutes but soon thereafter an other coin's profitability jumps up to triple the current coin's profitability. Wouldn't it be best to switch to that coin immediately instead of "wasting" 10 minutes on the lower profitability coin? A good example is MNC which sees significant peaks in profitability that last less than 10 minutes. Because of the minimum mining time, I think we might sometimes completely miss some of these peaks. Maybe you could combine a minimum mining time with a minimum difference. For example, stay on current coin a minimum 10 minutes unless another coin is more than 50% more profitable. After 10 minutes switch to the next most profitable coin only if 1-2% more profitable. This may actually reduce the amount of coin switching and increase total profitability.

-Just a suggestion-


By the way, your pool keeps getting more and more awesome!

Thanks   Without giving away too much, there are definitely times where it's more important to move than to stay on a coin for the minimum duration.  The script accounts for that.

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.
