[ANN][Multi-Coin][Stratum] multipool.in newbies support thread

[monkeyballz]

Hey...have switched from BTC to altcoins and found your multipool very attractive.
Looks great!

I have connection problems with my stratum proxy though and hope anyone can help me out.
I use slush0´s mining proxy (https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy) and have never had problems with it.
Before I was mining at bitminter. There I connected to port:8332

Now: If i use
"mining_proxy.py o- stratum+tcp://multipool.in p- 3333 it can´t connect
then I used
"mining_proxy.py o- multipool.in p- 3333 and it was working but of course it was mining TRC - because that´s the port for TRC -

Then I tried:
"mining_proxy.py o- multipool.in p- 3339 and also with the port 7777 but then it does not connect.

Anyone here who can help me out with some ideas?

[SullyTex]

Yah, can't connect with cgminer on 7777 either.

[monkeyballz]

Yah, can't connect with cgminer on 7777 either.

But you can connect to other ports than 3333?

[yoMamma]

great bunch of pools

[SullyTex]

Only tried 7777 and 3339 - neither

It's not you.  The pool is down.  Well it seems to be anyway, no connect for me over the last couple of hours and stats on the website aren't updating.

Hey guys...here´s my next question coming up my mind:

Why is speed jumping around that showed way?
http://abload.de/img/chartmoj4d.png

My miner is mining at a very constant speed and says 1.800MH/s which is about where I marked the red line.
So have I something missconfigured (as said above I´m using a mining proxy) or is that just normal?

It's probably normal.  The reason it's jumping around is because I've set the pools to use 2 minute averages rather than 10 minute averages..  The pool doesn't count invalid shares in your hashrate so it will show up a bit less than your miner reports.

Hey Flound.. have any idea why the difficulty is so high atm? It's almost twice what the hashing on the network is. Seems backwards.. more hash power = higher diff supposedly yet the diff is zooming these last couple weeks beyond hashing growth.

I've watched it go from 38M to 42 to 48.6, back down to 41.8 and today its at 50+M.

Neat pool thanks for providing it. I'll have to check it out to see how easy it is to mine with.

It's pretty easy.

its a nice pool, and now LTC price is going back up more people can join and beef up the hash rate
when is the estimated time for LTC to halve ? know its depend on rate and block found

Good luck with the pool. Have a bump.

Which coin are you talking about?

Oh, I'm not sure you're reading the graph correctly..  LTC difficulty is actually over 800 now, there is a second axis that difficulty is plotted against, on the right side..  It's not the same as the hashrate.

I see that.. but not much makes sense to me. Why does cgminer show the network difficulty as 53M now (was 50.8 yesterday). That is the DIFF I am referring to. Going up by millions every day now.

Oh, that..  LTC (and most/(all?) other scrypt coins') difficulty shown by the coin daemons and on most websites is divided by 65536, 53M is what it would be if it were calculated the same as BTC difficulty (52989132.8 currently)

I don't know the rationale behind this decision.

Okay. Thanks for answer.
The more I find out the less I know lol.

What about statistics now I found 5 mnc blocks and in statistics last 30 blocks founder nothing

what with LTC stats ?

[sillywhim]

Hi Flound.

Just joined your most excellent pool today (same username here and at the pool.) Got quick questions:

1. What makes a "Hero Member" i.e. the STAR SYMBOL ?
2. What qualifies as a "Donation Supporter"? I noticed that some users whom are donating (albeit a tinny winnie amt.) but not all donors have "FEATHERS"? Is there a minimum % ? Are there other levels besides "Supporter"?
3. I figured out the "CROWN" trophy (hah) but there seems to be just enuff space to its right (and left of the STAR) that another trophy could be had. True?


Sorry for the bother...


//del//

P.S. I got 3 more blades coming in about two weeks and will put it into the pooling for a total of 5 blades for "sillywhim".
