Pool's up to 50% diff this block. Hang in there and let's crack this thing to consider the pool stable instead of beta and move onto the next stage.

need more folks to come back, it's rough on my little hobby miners making up almost 1/3 of the hashrate.

It's not a matter of "come back" since they never were here in the first place. The higher hashrate was nothing but early rentals from a very small number of people. If anything, the number of users on here is more than ever. Establishing a new pool from scratch and getting enough hashrate in this day and age is freaking hard, especially since most mining operations have fixed pools they mine at (mostly the Chinese consortium) leaving hardly any to select a pool the old fashioned way themselves.

Perhaps I wasn't looking at the right times, but this is the 1st day (in the last 10 or so) that I've seen it at under 330TH. I guess I didn't think that the 500-700TH that I seemed to see it "resting" at was that much rentals.

There's ~200TH from one user that comes and goes according to rentals etc. of his equipment which will not always be there which you're probably counting.

I had counted on a larger miner who had said he would bring about 2PH when this pool was in the planning stages by the end of this month and was one of the reasons I was more interested in starting the pool up. However that appears to have fallen through since he's gone silent (which doesn't surprise me; most promises I've seen like this don't last ) so we have to get the hashrate up the slow and steady way.

Ugh, bad thunderstorms, have to shut em down .

No problem. Never fear, your shares and HERP will be here for when you get back.

As you are a SegWit hater, how come are you mining in this pool?

As someone getting 2:1 value on rentals plus per share, how could I not be in it?

The pool has now registered over 150 unique users, 131 of which have contributed hashes. Hopefully people are only using the one username as I've recommended which would imply quite a few people have tried mining here.  Only a much smaller proportion have been mining consistently and continue to mine now and obviously we need more hashrate more than we need more users but it's reassuring to see more people trying it out. Let's bring down that first block so I can stop labelling the pool beta and that will hopefully bring more miners too.

I set this pool as a failover, so when I restarted the miners it probably became one of the unique users not contributing hash...as of yet. OH and yeah one user name.1,.2,.3

depool is shown DEAD for me. Ping works by 56 ms. Anybody else with this?

I took it down along with the post because I didn't think anyone was using it, but I can easily bring it back up. Your ping time has to be dramatically better to de to warrant using it.

ping to main pool is 170 ms.


EDIT: Back up! THX

Restart all complete. Mine on and let's bust this one.

For those curious about the mention of a DE server, it is not a full server, only a passthrough so unless your ping time is at least 70ms less than the main pool I do not recommend using it. I'm still trying to gauge whether it's worth keeping or not.

Use one of:
depool.ckpool.org:3333
depool.ckpool.org:433

I have some rental hash on the pool for the new 8 hours or so, there are some hash hogs on NH so I'm only doing 250TH. Better than nothing

Every bit of HERP makes us more likely to DERP.

Yeah well I'd love to do my part by solving some blocks and mining some transactions for the short term and helping activate segwit for a longer term solution...

Not a fan of the latter, but I'm all for the former.
