[ANN][FTC][STRATUM] [0% Fee] feathercoin.is-a-geek.com Pool

[thep33t]

I figured I would make a topic to discuss this pool, voice concerns, problems, etc.

http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/

It should be simple enough to use.

Fee: 0% - This pool is donation driven.


I have received alot on questions about how to mine on the pool using cgminer. See miner code below for one of my workers.

Code:

cgminer.exe -o http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:8341 -u thep33t.workername -p workerpass --scrypt

Now with 100% More stratum!!

I swear I can spell and code and stuff. (It is fixed)

[thep33t]

Server has been rebooted. It should have even less rejects than before now.

[atrane21]

i get a lot of server connection problems in between shares.
and a ton of stales!

[thep33t]

What errors are you getting? Were they all within the last 15 mins of your post?

How many rejects/stales/valid are you getting?

[jdebunt]

Pool is working flawless for me, love it!

[thep33t]

cgminer.exe -o http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:8341 -u ccplz.ccplz -p <your Password> --scrypt

Obviously you should throw additional commands to optimize your mining, but that should get you going. If you have problems still, send me a pm with he exact command you are using.

Hi,

I think potentially I need some understanding help here. I set my rig to mining for 8-10 hours today at around 330kh/s, I've come back to around 20 FC.

Based on the pool stats I should earn 90 in 24 hours. And as an estimate 35-40 in 8-10 hours, I am confused to of come home to around 20.

My stats board reads:
Paid Shares
Your Valid: 17251
Invalid: 2802

At the time of posting the estimate per payout is:
Estimated Per Payout
0.058793 FC


How can I equivocate the 17251 valid shares to the coins I should be earning as the earnings atm are not making sense to me and if there is something I am missing or doing wrong I need to understand this.

Kind regards,

Lewis

I imagine what you are seeing is a result of the PPLNS system. Is your amount based on a single day, or multiple days? Because the difficulty did just go up.

[layerz]

It is based on today from 8am ish UK time to 6pm ish UK/GMT time.

Edit:

OK I've read a bit about PPLNS and I get a bit more of the long haul piece now, basically I need to keep up the mining for a longer period to see better pay outs and the more rounds then the better the pay outs.

So based on the 12 diff if I left things mining for 24 hours would I actually see the 98 (or approx and allowing for diff increases) that I'd get soloing...or I think it'd be 2 days to find a block on Solo on my current set up.

[thep33t]

Average time to find a block @330kh/s: 2 day(s), 3 hour(s), 35 min, 50 sec

Mining in a pool allows for you to spread that payment out over many, smaller transactions to 'more guarentee' a steady payment. If you mine for a few minutes at a tiem, a PPLNS pool is not good for you. If you mine 12 on/12 off, you should be good. 24/7 would be best

i've been getting bad connection ever since i started mining here. I moved everything back to LTC for time being.
I get good streaks and it'll mine awesome then it'll go non stop stales and then i'll get weird response from server, etc. When i posted this is when i just couldn't connect at all and when it did for a second or 2 it would be stales.

I'm running reaper and my configs are good as i use them for LTC.

[atrane21]

now i'm getting a few shares but still getting "weird response" or "server down" in between.


EDIT: Now i'm back to stales too

Mind sending your specs, mining program, and command you are mining with? you are at 4.5% stales. That seems rather high.

[mige]

I have to many stales shares.

[Edvin512]

i get loads of prevhash-stale and prevhash-wrong, then it works perfectly for a while, then those again for a long time

[atrane21]

Currently im standing at over 2000 stales and 108 shares.

 Running a 6950 with reaper. Using exact same config as I do with ltc. All I do is change host and port in conf file. I only have 1 card pointing at ftc I have my other 6 on ltc. When I switch that card back to ltc it runs with less than 1% stales

EDit: restarted reaper got about a solid 150 shares and then all the rest turned to stales.

[thep33t]

I am going to end up increasing the difficulty of the pool. mysql/pushpool are being hammered at this rate. I will need to think for a little bit on how to alter the previous shares in order to keep the system working.

Later tonight I will reset the pool difficulty to either 15 or higher. All that means is less shares per round will be found, but payouts, etc will stay the same. We should see much less rejects and stales with this.

(also, try --queue 0 for those with cgminer, it helps some atm)
