Noobpool.com Ethereum mining, 0% pool fee!

What's the advantage of smaller mining pool vs. larger ones?  I'm assuming it's kinda like solo vs. pool mining, just not as drastic.  i.e. the rewards are bigger, but they happen less often.

I have about 185 MH/s of Eth mining on nanopool now, but thinking about making a switch.  Quite honestly I wanted to try zcash or monero instead, but wouldn't mind trying a smaller pool first.

The advantage is the luck factor, it doesn't make much of a difference with pools like nanopool that find a block every few minutes, but when it takes a day to find a block and you get good luck and find one in an hour, you get paid the same amount as you would have if you would have mined a whole day.  But luck isn't always good, sometimes you hit a bad block and it takes a bit longer.  Our average is at 80% right now, so that's good.

There is also the community, we have a chat channel that always has people in it to help, answer questions, talk to, etc.  You can be one of 37k+ miners, or one of 120 miners.

What happened to the shit talkers who said they would never be paid?  The ones who said I stole the money myself?  Not much to say these days I guess.  Every person who has ever mined on noobpool.com and hit the 0.05 payout has been paid.  And those who didn't hit the payout, their balances are still there waiting for them to come back and continue mining.

You are stealing.  A bunch of people complaining now that you've retroactively decided to keep tranascation fees for yourself.  That's equivalent to a 2% hit in payments.   Even your own page still proudly proclaims "Pool always pay full block reward including TX fees and uncle rewards.".   Look at the last few block rewards - no transaction fees paid out!!   What a crock...

Yes, hide in the telegram chat, hide behind your keyboard.  Keep searching for something, anything.  You probably even mine on the pool.  What a pussy.  Yet with all your posts, all your shit talking, the pool keeps growing bigger each day.

I think it's simply really. If you mine on the pool consistently and then order nicehash... that isn't pool hopping. But if you only mine when block is found to get round % and then leave, that is called "hopping". I need more popcorn for this thread

Been mining for almost 3 weeks now on the noobpool and payouts have been as expected.. working. Thanks N00b!

This new difficulty is really making it hard on smaller pools.  But then again we are stuck on a stubborn block.

What is going on with the pool?

"Server has been brought down for maintenance and to refresh our ETH node. Estimated time is 2 hours. Until then you can mine on our ETC pool at http://etc.noobpool.com You only have to change the address and port number in your mining software."
 
This is the second time this happends in 24H.

Last updates on mined blocks is 24/8/2017
now only 2gh/s mining on this pool, everyone is leaving.

Noobpool are you there?

We got stuck on a block that went to over 400% variance and our blockchain database had grown very large over the last couple months, so it was decided to do a re-sync of the blockchain and in turn we ended up loosing the work we did on the 400% variance block, it pissed off a lot of people and a lot of miners left.  We also opened an ETC pool as well at http://etc.noobpool.com

So now we are having to rebuild our mining base, it's a slow process, but it will happen eventually.

Pool is down for me, is it just me? I really want to check out this 0% pool fee

Nope, pools are up and running.  About 70 people mining at the moment.

[noobpool]

Been having good luck with the last few blocks, all sub 100 variance, last one was two were 27 and 10..  Our ETC node isn't having as much luck, but not as many people mining etc.

[noobpool]

This post hasn't been bumped for a while.  Both ETC and ETH nodes are running great.  Steady at around 15GH, and payouts on time, every time.

[noobpool]

Pool hoppers have been taken care of.  Actually they still use their bots to show up, but they get taxed and the tax money is spread out to all the miners, so in essence they are helping us find the block faster as well as helping everyone else make more money at the same time without being able to cheat. 

So instead of them jumping in with 4-5 times the total pool's hash rate and taking a big 60-80% of the share, they get a smaller share and the rest goes to the other people mining.  There is always some leftover shares with the code in which there is a lottery system in place and it gives that small amount to a random miner as a bonus. 

And it's safe for non pool hoppers.  They are known and on a list, so all regular miners who decide to just grab a bunch of NH power for some extra shares are safe from the tax system.  Only the people specifically on the list get taxed. 

Call it stealing, call it cheating, but that's what pool hoppers are doing.  They just get punished for doing it on noobpool.com

This way we can stay a prop system, which is the best system for part time miners and noobs, and don't have to go to pplns which hurts people who don't mine 24/7.

And don't forget about our etc node, the eth difficulty has gone way up and will stay that way for the next two weeks, so why not mine etc for a while.  etc.noobpool.com

Hi Just wondering if there was some issues at the minute?
I had my first payout on the 20th of this month, but since then the balances on the website havent changed from 0.00000, to be fair i only have 70+ mh, but would have expected the site to have updated the balances from 0.000 by now.
Help thoughts would be great.

Many thanks

Balances update when we find a block, and we have been stuck on a really difficult block for several days.

[goldfield]

Hi thanks for the quick reply.
looks like we got through that one

Cheers

I'll point a few rigs your way and give your pool a try.

Hello,

I wanted to know why on this page:  http://www.noobpool.com/#/blocks

for example the block 0x77692cd6e9ea6d4506bf628c5a7012500e68fc92f2ca2306847157bd49448c50 is having a reward of
5.000000

but when I go check to etherscan:
https://etherscan.io/block/0x77692cd6e9ea6d4506bf628c5a7012500e68fc92f2ca2306847157bd49448c50

The reward says:
5.189126247476750747 Ether (5 + 0.189126247476750747)

Does someone know?
Thanks
