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

[sudwtf]

pool been back up for half hour maybe now.  thank you.

regarding sha256 multipool.  i want to use it, but not for BTC, only altcoins.  BTC difficulty is so high, my gpu's dont matter.  However, i can still use them on other sha256 altcoins.  besides eligius.st is 0% fee, another reason, not to have BTC in the multipool.  would you consider only altcoins for multipool?

[not.you]

None of my workers can connect.  Seeing this kind of thing on CPU miners going back a long time now:

Seeing this on my stratum proxy:

I can't connect by two workers at the same time. Only one.

switched to eu1 & ok.

been disconnected from pool 1 and 2 US for a half hour now...

pool2.us doesn't exist anymore.  (DNS is just a CNAME to pool1) What error are you getting?

just started back up.

Yup, me too.  Stratum proxy connected and my individual miners are connecting again as well.

I'm going to leave it in for a couple weeks to see if we reach critical mass, which would be around 3TH at current difficulty.  We have been over 1 TH on TRC recently and I have been contacted by many people who said they were waiting for the SHA256 multiport in order to point their ASICs at the pool.

At 3TH we'd find a BTC block every 2-3 days.

Tell your friends!

It does look like we were either getting SYN flooded earlier or there were so many reconnect attempts that the server port sent out syn cookies.

I increased some kernel parameters on the pool servers and thing seem to have settled.

Flound. Not a fan of the new "top 5" format.  If you dedicate mine a coin like I do, if it's not in the top 5 you can't see if it's doing Ok or if it's tanking....

I'm preparing a new summary page that has all the coins in sortable tables.

great!  i too 'need' to know my shares/unconfirmed for alts not in top 5.

thank you for a great service.

[flound1129]

congrats on the sha multiport flound!  Lots of demand for it! (from what I've seen)

Thanks!

4. I am considering adding a "conservative" multiport that will only switch between NVC, LTC, FTC, MNC and possibly CGB.  Would like to hear opinions on this.

This sounds interesting, but what might be interesting is to see some of the other riskier, but more profitable altcoins get added to a superset pool (like NRB, DMD, BTB, STR, ANC, etc). That way you have 3 varieties to choose from.

+1 on the superset pool.
Why not make an option where users can turn coins on/off to their liking and their miners only switch between the coins they like.
Would that be really difficult to do?

I agree with johndec so having a new page with all coins is a great news

Most of the 'more profitable' coins are only more profitable because their difficulty is below 0.5, making them undesirable targets for mining by Multipool.  They'd be like LKY or ARG, only profitable for a couple minutes and then we'd switch to something else.

ANC I think will be a good add.  CAP, CGB and MEC all have single-block difficulty adjustments and the pool spends quite a bit of time on those.

[csa1234]

Cant connect to stratum+tcp://pool1.eu.multipool.us:8888 nor stratum+tcp://pool1.us.multipool.us:8888
are they online already?
Nevermind, fixed, just typed: pool1.eu.multipool.us:8888 (without stratum+tcp://)

While CAP, CGB and MEC have single block difficulty adjustment, the adjustment itself is limited to only couple of % based on the time it took the network to find a block. ANC on the other hand has wild swings where every adjusment is 29% of the previous difficulty and those adjustments have nothing to do with network speed like they are for CAP, CGB and MEC

Hmm ok, thanks for the info.  If the adjustments don't have anything to do with the network speed what are they based on?

Apparently ANC is about to adopt the MEC algorithm, which should improve things.

[fredeq]

Sup with DGC? Multiport is on it and we are reaching 4hrs since last block.

Yeah and a profitability of 18.19 for that coin is obviously showing something is up.

There was a mandatory update for DGC.... announced long time ago....
