[ANN][FeatherCoin][Stratum] FC.GETCOINAGE.COM - New Stratum Only Pool

[ToasterLint]

Hello!!!

I've just set up a new Stratum Only pool at:
http://fc.getcoinage.com

Example connection via cgminer:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool1.getcoinage.com:3333 -u your_user_name.1 -p x

It's fairly basic "cookie-cutter" web interface for now, but I have plans on enhancing it and even developing a mobile version so you can keep tabs on your "minions", hash rates, etc from a phone/tablet.

Pool fee is 2.5% to help pay for server & maintenance.

I've personally used it for a bit now and have not run into any issues(even found 2 blocks while testing the final production setup!!!).

Have fun and enjoy!

UPDATE: 4/25/2013 - 8:25AM CDT
I've decided to go ahead and close the pool.  It's been almost 4 hours since the last block found, which even with the current hashrate in the 20MH/s we should have found a block a while ago.  I haven't been able to locate what may be causing this.  I don't want to waste everyone's mining resources when it could be thrown at another pool.

Within the next 15 - 30 minutes the Stratum services will be turned off on the servers.  Web Front-End and scripts will still be active to allow the last found block to be credited to miner accounts.  After last block is credited, I will perform manual payouts.  If you do not have your payout address entered, I will leave the interface up for a few days to allow you to enter your address and perform a manual payout yourself.

Thank you to the miners who joined and used the pool.  This has been a learning experience for me and I hope to still be able to contribute to the Crypto-Coin community however I can.  As promised, I will try to at least provide the working Stratum server files I had.  I will try to get a github site set up to fork slush0's stratum-mining project and publish the modifications to make it work for scrypt based coins.  It may take me a bit as I've never really used github before other then to clone and build projects made available by others.

Thanks again, and happy mining!

4/24/2013 - UPDATE 4
I'm not sure why, but something isn't sitting quite right.  We should be getting blocks more often, but for some reason we aren't.  For a while, at one point the pool was in the mid 50 MH/s area which should have netted us a block roughly every 30 minutes, but even then most of the time it seemed to take at least an hour.  Occasionally we'd get lucky and find a block 10-15 minutes after the last one, but the average just doesn't add up right with the hashing power the pool was putting out.

As someone pointed out in this thread, the Hashrate calculation on the Web Front-End appears to be slightly off, but it isn't THAT far off.  I don't feel too comfortable letting this pool continue to run at the risk of wasting everyone's time... don't need a bunch of upset people at me!

However, I will continue to let the pool run for now as well as continue to poke at the logs and see if I can figure out what's going on, but so far I haven't seen anything sticking out.  It isn't a server load issue either as both the FC and POOL1 servers are sitting at very good usage levels right now (even though there are still some people using the FC server to connect their miners too).  If people feel they need to leave because they don't want to stick around, I completely understand.

I'm torn I guess because I honestly don't want to waste peoples time, but I also hate to give up, especially since this is all so close and I've learned so much getting this pool set up!

If for some reason I do close the pool down, I'll be sure to disable the Stratum services but leave the Web Front-End up and the background scripts running until all blocks are confirmed and final payouts take place... I'm not out to con anyone any coins as that is not why I set this pool up.  It was set up to fill a need that existed at the time... I just wish it still did, lol.

-Toast

4/24/2013 - UPDATE 3
Alrighty, I've got the POOL1.GETCOINAGE.COM server up and running and have been using it myself to mine. I'm getting ACCEPTED shares which are being captured and reported by the Web Front-End.

If you want to start swapping your miners over to this new server at let me know how it goes, that would be great! In the meantime I will continue to keep the FC.GETCOINAGE.COM server's Stratum services running until everyone swaps over... at least for a bit. If after no issues after a while(maybe a day or two at most), I will then shut off the Stratum Services on the FC server.

As always, thanks again for your patience and happy mining!

-Toast

4/24/2013 - UPDATE 2
There was a brief outage a few moments ago, and I'm VERY sorry about this! I restarted the Database services and wasn't aware that Stratum was then complaining. As soon as I noticed this I restarted Stratum and am now seeing everything return to normal.

The reason I had to restart the Database services was to prep to the new Pool server... which is set up and I'm now testing. I will provide another update once I've monitored the new Pool server and feel confident it works as intended.

Once again I'm VERY sorry!

-Toast

UPDATE: 4/24/2013
So far so good! I've noticed the load on the server getting a tad higher then what I'd like. I haven't heard of any complaints yet on higher then normal reject rates, but I'd like to take care of this before it becomes an issue.

With that in mind, I'm planning to spin up another server to be used solely as the the "Pool Server", while the current server will still be used to host the Web Front-end and Database. I'm going the route of using two servers instead of just using a single larger server so that the transition takes place a little smoother and also allows for further expansion down the road. This means I could spin up another Pool Server if needed without creating any downtime.

So, in short, it would work like this:
Miners will keep mining on FC.GETCOINAGE.COM for now. When I have the dedicated Pool Server spun up and tested, miners can transition over to POOL1.GETCOINAGE.COM as users log in and notice the notification about the new Pool Server being ready. Stratum will still run on the original FC server for a few days to allow users to make the switch. After a few days have passed, Stratum will be disabled on the FC server thus making POOL1 the primary and only Stratum Server (for now).

I understand your concern, I guess the only excuse I have is that I'm sort of quiet type of person!  I hope to be able to gain the trust of not only the users of my pool, but of the Crypto-Coin community and the users of this WONDERFUL forum!

I was trying someone else's FC Stratum Pool and after wasting a few days and not getting squat I decided to tackle it myself.  I had a bit of a head start as I was also working on trying to get a Litecoin pool up... but at the time there seemed to be enough of those already so never really finished my endeavor.

When FeatherCoin was announced and after a couple of days still no reliable Stratum Pool, I decided to get cracking at things again.  As I said previously, I used this setup myself with FC and tested everything I could think of and haven't had any issues.  As such, I decided to then release it to the world.

I'm constantly monitoring the server and will keep everyone posted if any news should come up!

No, that is not the case... if this should work out, I plan on releasing the updates I've done to Stratum to get it working with FC(which should also work with Litecoin)... info on this alone is a pain in the neck to find!

Yes, I haven't posted much, but I didnt' join just to promote this pool... and in fact when I first joined I didn't intend to run a pool at all.  I like the idea of a altcoin based on Litecoin and with the need for a Stratum Pool not really out there, I decided I'd give it a go.

If you don't want to throw all your miners at this pool or any for that matter, no loss on my part, and no hard feelings!

I really want this to be legit, I do.
I think you should make some posts around the forums, to show you're trustworthy.
If people steadily get paid from your pool, I'll jump on board 100%.
Do you have much experience with running servers, etc.?

[ToasterLint]

I'll give him a chance.  

Hey toaster, what's the auto payout schedule?  Every half hour i hope.

Thanks Deft!

Actually, the auto payout should be configured to trigger every minute.  Just tested myself (with part of the reward from the 2 blocks I got while mining while testing this setup! lol) and worked without issue.  Please let me know if you encounter an error!

As more users jump on the pool, I may need to scale it back to roughly every 20 - 30 minutes, but don't see the need right now with the resources of the server still riding at a good level.  If I do end up changing the auto payout schedule, I will be sure to update everyone!

giving this pool a try now. fyi your payout system says LTC.... minor front end problem but ive built a few websites in my day and i understand that on initial launch some things are often over looked. ill post a screen shot for everyone as soon as i get a payout.

ive mentioned this before on other posts.. i have 2 web servers, and im looking into hosting some crypto projects. and once my 2nd server ( just got it about a week ago) is ready ill be launching some mining pools. if anyone needs some web space for your crypto coin project let me know

I didn't fill that field out and when I submitted it said 'all good, login now' or whatever. Couldn't login.

After filling out the email fields, I was able to login and now I'm Hashing away Happily on your server.

You are right!  My measly 1MH/s was able to somehow get two blocks within 30 minutes of each other overnight, lol.  That would be why the time since last block found is also way up there... Because I did indeed back off a bit along with making some changes that interrupted my miners at the time.

I hope my good luck earlier doesn't come back to bite me now that I made this server public! Lol

If no block found soon I will distribute the coins from those two blocks out to everyone currently mining as a sign of good will and a thank you!!!

[txmasut]

At this rate we should be at 47 mins between blocks.

[txmasut]

holy crap we got a block?!?!

About time, lol......my last pool when I started took like 2 days though so I guess I can't complain.

[cygnusxi]

so far good! we got a block. im at 2150 shares accepted and only 1 rejected.

[ToasterLint]

Wow, lol, I'll admit I was beginning to get worried!  Thank you ALL for sticking with it so far.  As a thank you, I'm going to go ahead and distribute some additional coins from the first two blocks I mined earlier... once the last block we found gets distributed(to get an idea how much each person should get)

Once again, thank you all!  Now to just wait for the confirms!

5 blocks now... my personal stats are 2860 shares accepted, 2 rejected(very nice ratio). there was 2 very brief disconnects but it reconnected instantly, no real disruption and no lost shares. im liking this pool more n more. when the payouts roll out and confirm ill be sticking with this pool for a while. nice job ToasterLint , youre pool is speeding up nicely.

[cygnusxi]

just got my first payment... it arrived instantly after the last confirmation

 was gonna host the screenshot on my own server but something ( obviously the chinese or russian bots again) is overloading my damn server again... so now i get to go filter through ips and ban more bots from my server...

[cygnusxi]

wow! fast!! just happen to see new block detected in my cgminer, and in less than a second just received 2nd payment. Grats on your pool. thats the fasted auto payout in the altcoin world i think!

[ToasterLint]

It's great to hear someone else is getting their payouts!

As promised, I'll be distributing the coins from the first two blocks I solo mined from earlier to the first group of people that stuck with it.  Payout will be based on the ratio you were paid on block 21871.  I've chosen this block since it happen only a short time after the first "public" block and to make sure that my miners don't skew the results any since I had my miners working for a bit before going public and thus had a larger share for when block 21855 was found.

Only thing I ask is that you give me a little bit of time to "crunch" all the numbers and update the balances on your accounts as I'll have to dig into the Database and work it all out.

Thank you once again!

im currently at 6286 shares accepted and only 9 rejected, im going to adjust my min payout to save you a lil on fees since im just a small time miner. im not a bitcoin guru like a lot of people on this forum but i am having a lot of fun learning and mining!

You should be able to bring up a Console Tab which may give more details.  Also, check to make sure that CGMiner was packaged with the version of GUIMiner Scrypt you downloaded... I seem to remember one of the versions I download didn't have it.  It did the same thing for me... said "Starting..." but never did start, which is because CGMiner wasn't even there!  In the console tab it should say something along the lines of where it is trying to execute CGMiner, so look there and verify it is really there

[cryptohunter]

hi,

How long should it be before you get any coins on this pool, because it says 20 thousand unpaid shares and it has been serveral hours and still nothing credited to my account?

So i have 20K unpaid shares and 600 paid shares, with a balance of around 0.1 fc ?

Is this correct because my hash rate is saying 1400 so i would have though i would have been able to mine a few hundred FC in all of these hours i have been mining?

Is the pool working correctly?

My friend on a different pool is getting around 3 feather coins per 30 mins??

0.1 FC doesn't seem correct?

[billionaire]

Just started mining here. 2600 accepted, only 30 stales. Very promising. If the payout system is working correctly, this could be a great pool.

[leepfrog]

Having a miner running with the stratum proxy. Proxy shows accepted shares, however I am not seeing any hashrate of my workers in the account. They show as inactive.

Any ideas?

[Joerii]

Hi Toast.

Some issues : I'm consistently getting a higher hashrate report on the site. I'm running at 1.8mhash/sec at home but over 2mhash on the site. This is a minor issue ofcourse but I thought I'd share it.

Second issue, in pool stats the estimate I should mine around 300 FC a day, however, after mining for a good 10 hours Ihave only 53 coins. How is this possible ? I didn't connect yet to the new server, is this the reason ?

I'd hate having to switch pools because of this because you seem very motivated and hard working to get everything right.

[kendle]

I have been using this pool for the past 10 hours.  I am running 700k/hash, the site reports me at 350 k/hash and have only accumulated 3.04842914 FC.  I generally get 5FC+/- every half hour on other pools.  There must be something wrong going on.

[Joerii]

...yet now in half an hour I've gotten 25 coins. hmmmmmmm


Edit : wierd. another 10 coins in 5 minutes. Are you manually releasing these or tweaking something ?

[jt7382]

Yeah, I've been mining most of the day and haven't gotten anything yet. =/

[Joerii]

I've been an idiot. I forgot I already set the autopayment ! I received all the coins I should have, according to the estimate.

So people, don't run, this pool works just fine. !

[cygnusxi]

@ Joerii quoted "Im getting close to what's in the estimate now" ---

if your mean estimated coins per day... ive found this to be inaccurate on all mining pools with pay per round, even ozcoin ( well established pool) the estimate is hardly ever correct... ( i guess thats why it says "estimate" lol) remember too that pay per round pools you need to stick with for a while to get anything from it.

if youre referring to speed / i think with some mining pools it figures your khashes via shares per hour / half hour.. meaning it takes up to a full hour to update your speed.(even 50btc takes a while to show full speed)

@  kendle & Joerii  --- ive noticed with feathercoin there is a bit a reverse logic to getting more shares out of your rig... ill let you guess at what that is    with the right setup, you will produce more shares with less khashes. i use cgminer, im guessing youre both using the same. adjust your settings and watch what the site reports over the next hour... dont just go by what your miner says. rinse and repeat. let me know if it works. who knows.. maybe im crazy(i am), but i do this more for fun and learning then anything else, so im constantly trying every combo of miner setting and driver version etc..

pool also does not pay out until 120 confirms on block.. keep that in mind. ( keeps everyone safe in the long run)

here are my payment times since i started mining last night, it took a lil while for them to start (120 confirms) but after that it was steady, i also increased my autopayout amount so the times slow down towards the end.. seemed like a waste to make that many TX's

@ Joerii quoted "Im getting close to what's in the estimate now" ---

if your mean estimated coins per day... ive found this to be inaccurate on all mining pools with pay per round, even ozcoin ( well established pool) the estimate is hardly ever correct... ( i guess thats why it says "estimate" lol) remember too that pay per round pools you need to stick with for a while to get anything from it.

if youre referring to speed / i think with some mining pools it figures your khashes via shares per hour / half hour.. meaning it takes up to a full hour to update your speed.(even 50btc takes a while to show full speed)

@  kendle & Joerii  --- ive noticed with feathercoin there is a bit a reverse logic to getting more shares out of your rig... ill let you guess at what that is    with the right setup, you will produce more shares with less khashes. i use cgminer, im guessing youre both using the same. adjust your settings and watch what the site reports over the next hour... dont just go by what your miner says. rinse and repeat. let me know if it works. who knows.. maybe im crazy(i am), but i do this more for fun and learning then anything else, so im constantly trying every combo of miner setting and driver version etc..

pool also does not pay out until 120 confirms on block.. keep that in mind. ( keeps everyone safe in the long run)

here are my payment times since i started mining last night, it took a lil while for them to start (120 confirms) but after that it was steady, i also increased my autopayout amount so the times slow down towards the end.. seemed like a waste to make that many TX's

Thank you for the great explination cygnusxi.  You are right, since this is a PPLNS pool, you have to mine for a bit to start seeing you shares count towards a payout.  It also has the reverse effect in that if you stop mining, you'll actually keep getting credit for a bit since some of your previous shares still count towards new blocks.

Too bad... I liked this one for some reason. But where one closes another will open I am sure. Good try and thanks for the nice few days

Thanks BrewCrew, wish I could have figured out why the block discovery rate was so low

Hope you are able to find a good pool that meets your needs.

So, yeah, I've given this person a week now to respond to my PM asking for my coins that were in the pool back.

I'm not sure I'm ever gonna get them.
