[ANN][FeatherCoin][PPLNS][Stratum] FeatherPool.com Pool

[garumaru]

I think it's because there is a sudden burst in the pool. As soon as FTC opened up on BTC-E and saw its value lots of people switched over to FTC mining.

This. The sudden surge in users was unexpected. The stratum issues have been resolved, and AFAIK the longpoll issues have been resolved as well. I'm not running any pushpool miners, so I'm not 100% on this. I'm in IRC if anyone is still having issues.

EDIT: I urge everyone to switch over to stratum if you have not done so already.

It's still running slow for me.

Was getting about 14 shares per minute last night, now I'm getting less than half that with the exact same configuration, hash rate, and everything.

EDIT: And I'm still getting disconnected every now and then.

[JCviggen]

Switched pools for now. Oh well.

Ditto.

And the issue predates the BTCe thing by almost a day for me.

[alecpap]

We are under a light DDoS attack. I'm working with the host to resolve the issue. Thanks for your understanding.

[garumaru]

Certainly there are people out there not happy with FTC.

[bitrocket]

im my observation the displayed hashrate dropped by 30-40% since early this morning with the same hashing power applied, on the stratum pool


any ideas?

[dirtriderdan]

When using stratum my hash rate is no longer reported on the site.  Is this normal?

How long have you been mining stratum? It takes a few minutes for the site to update.

I have been mining on stratum 24hrs on both dirtriderdan.1 and dirtriderdan.2 workers both running at 2.2Mhash each.  Still reports 0Khash for those 2 workers.  I didn't switch dirtriderdan.0 and that shows about 900 khash which is correct.  Now I'm getting nervous...

I went back to non-stratum use for now.  Please look into payment for the last 24 hrs on my account.

[bengx]

Tried switching back to stratum, same problem, share submits could take up to 20000ms which is far higher than the usual 200ms, or even fully disconnect for a few moments at times.

[marcolam]

I'm getting like half the coins I should be getting...hashrate is stable on the graph at 3200 kh/s average, the past 3 hours my account has gained 9 coins. Should be making closer 20 coins every 3 hours. It's been that slow for at least 15 hours, the pool luck can't be that bad?

I got paid half coins compared to the FTC/Day (est) chart,is the chart correct or somethings wrong?

Hey all, I appreciate you all letting me know when you have issues. I'm aware of the disconnects, there's been a DDoS against the pool for almost 24 hours at this point. I'm working with my provider to mitigate as much as possible, within budget. I apologize for the aggravation disconnects can cause.

I will be out of town this weekend, and won't be online as much. I will be checking email regularly (contact@featherpool.com), and trying to get in on IRC when I can, so please feel free to contact me there. I will return on Wednesday, May 8th. I will be working on the server as time permits, and I look forward to getting things running smoothly.

Thanks for mining on featherpool!

Oh - one more thing. I've been asked several times in IRC what my motivation behind running this pool is. I want to learn more about how cryptocoin pooled mining works, so I set up a pool. I'm footing the bill for the server myself, as I enjoy learning new things, and it's quite rewarding when a system as complex as a mining pool works. As I stated in the original post, the pool is a 0% fee. It may, at some point, switch to a low fee (perhaps 1%), but for now I have no plans of adding a fee. If I do, I will let everyone know in advance (at least 1 week notice). I want to thank the miners on the pool who have opted to donate a portion of their mining to the pool, as every little bit helps pay for the server.

Thanks for all your work.

I'll pledge to up my donation from my usual 1% to 3% for a week when you fix the issues (if that's incentive for you )

[Mhash pipe]

If I didn't know any better, I would say that I am getting paid at ltc rates (50 coins per block)... I am only getting 1/4 of the predicted coins.

[rbdrbd]

Yes, definitely some issues with this pool. Anyone know of any good alternatives?

[thisisnotmyltcusername]

you have choice between the hammered like this one, those who're down and those who put difficulty so high there aren't stales but you won't make zilch either with a single card.
It'll calm down the day FTC won't fill your pockets faster than LTC 

[Mhash pipe]

Yup, looks like it may be more profitable to mine ltc after all...

[RV1969]

Losing massive percentage of shares now. Switching until DDoS resolves. 

[18RATTT]

anyone having 5% rejects from this pool? i want to mine from this pool, shud i use the stratum or the normal one ??

please advise. thank you

[hakushka]

I am only getting 1/3 of the predicted coins =( Why?
