Noobpool.com Ethereum mining, 0% pool fee!

[lucifugo]

HA!  Funny you should ask.

Small hash rate and you have a better chance at hitting in the low percentage

Why?

Noobpool, take a look at this:
https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/21618/what-is-the-exploit-behind-paritys-multisig-wallet-from-2017-07-19

Maybe it is related to the hacker attack we had in the past days.

For all of you, guys: it's safer to use wallet created with geth or myetherwallet.com

Guys, which crypto to crypto exchange will you recommend? I was looking at Poloniex, but I want to explore more options...

Honestly, I just pulled everything out of polo. Here's the primary reason: their deposit contracts on both eth and etc are wonky. Under stress, they don't seem to allocate enough gas to smaller transactions. So, for example, last week I had to keep mining etc to get to the threshold where their contract would allocate enough gas to get the transaction through to my actual account (in this case I think it was 9 etc). I have had the same thing happen with eth. And, I have had similar issues on the withdrawal side. TLDR: You get your money eventually, but it may take some time and frustration. (never did get an answer to any ticket raised about this either).

I use gemini to convert straight to fiat if I need to (it's US based and regulated in NY), but I don't think they are available outside the US or in every US state.

For alts like etc, I've switched to bittrex even though they have higher fees and a basically unusable interface (if you are trying to trade).

I was with polo for a long time trading, but the recent issues make me too nervous to keep any money there. So, I'm just not trading and only mining. So, user interface is not that important to me now.

poloniex, cionbase, gdax, bitstamp.  one each everywhere, but maintain my own wallets on the pcs.  exchanges for small amounts and moving it around.

also changelly converts directly from one coin wallet to another wallet without exchange use.

Are you willing to support nicehash for your pool?

Nicehash is supported, just use Daggerhashmoto as the algorithm.

yeah i use it on ethermine, but i need some setting from the pool to set up nicehash. Have you tried to set it up? i can't!

I don't use Parity, but it was similar.  I won't go into details, don't need to give anyone any ideas how to hack us.  If I explain what it was and how I fixed it someone might figure out another way.

HA!  Funny you should ask.

Based on statistics, we hit the first block at 30% variance but the pool was running for several weeks below 500MH. Small hash rate and you have a better chance at hitting in the low percentage but it takes longer.   Then we hit the second block at 53% variance and over 1 GH in 2 days.   Now, I'm taking the curve and estimating to about 75%-80% any moment now for the next block.  As we get closer to 100% variance after each round with more hash power quicker we will hit the block.  Let's see how close I am.  Notice the variance is climbing much faster now with higher hash power.  

We were both wrong, at almost 90% now and still no block.  Today sometime?

I haven't used nicehash before, but the settings for the pool should be the same as the claymore settings I would think.

We are unlucky for this third block, we are at 95% of Current Round Variance and still nothing ...

We can't have good luck every block I guess, but our average will still be good, unless it goes to like 300% or something. 

[eagleye]

looks like it.  we are approaching the mean average.  So we may move to the unlucky side of the average for this round.  the Mean at 5.3GH is 2.81 days per block average.

What will be cool is when we hit one block right after another.  bound to happen at some point with this hash power.

That will be nice.  I'd really like to get to 1-2 blocks a day.  That would still be slow enough that luck will help out with lower hash miners while still bringing in a consistent amount of ETH for everyone.  But we'd need to be up to like 15-20GH/s for that.  Eventually we might get there as people see that everything works, it's legit, payments go out on time, etc.

Thanks for all your recommendation earlier, I'm able to increase my GTX1070 hashrate from 25MH/s to now average 30MH/s, while at the same time lowering power to 68% hence now lower temperature for my GPU.
I'm considering to add 1 more GPU, that should help the pool hashrate by a little

How did you achieve such result?
My Gtx1070 is running at 25MH

I use MSI Afterburner to tweak (although I'm using Asus Strix GPU), I learned from the forum members here too.
I tweaked to increase GPU memory frequency, incremental of 100MHz each time, click apply and let it stable for at least 10minutes, you can see the hashrate goes up real time, if PC is stable, I repeat the same step, 100MHz incremental  until your PC hit instability, marked that unstable frequency and dial back.

After achieving stable memory frequency, you can play around with GPU power level dial also, that should help to lower your electricity bill abit, and enjoy lower temperature.

[noobpool]

For AMD cards there are actually 2 voltage settings that can be lowered in msi afterburner if you click the little button next to the voltage setting.  Lowering both dramatically lowered my heat and power use by my hash rate didn't change.

Damn, up to 111% variance.  Hopefully we get it soon and the next one at like 3%..

noobpool, how do they calculate the "bounty" per blockchain. For example, looks like our current block is more difficult to solve, do they pay higher ETH per block? Just curios what's the price tag they attach per blockchain and what's the criteria for that price tag?

That's a good question.  Our first was 5.01, the next was 5.34.  And honestly, I have no clue.  If you figure it out please share with the class.
