Anyone with some hashing power want to try for that bounty?
Neither i (fcmatt users) or 4g4g users on the pool can claim it.
Thanks.

[fcmatt]

I am goin to up the bounty to 20 ltc. Help me find the first block. Thanks.

[fcmatt]

still looking for help to find the first block. i will pay 20 LTC to the finder.

[fcmatt]

BUMP.

[fcmatt]

Still looking for help. One user joined up to go for the bounty. Thanks.

[fcmatt]

Looks like I made a mistake with my pushpool config after getting done testing with litecoin test net.
I had the share submission diff set too high. I have corrected it and made it 31. This matches up with stratum.
Since all my miners use stratum I failed to notice it right away. A user emailed me about the mistake and I corrected it.
Sorry for the confusion for those who used pushpool.

Well hell. Let's go get us a block.

[fcmatt]

Here is a bump. Got a nice boost in hashing power last night from a few people who joined. Now running at 7ish mhash/sec.
So finding a block should happen sooner then later. Anyone else want to shoot for that 20 LTC bounty? I am ready to pay
it out.

[fcmatt]

Evening bump to see if anyone will help me find the first block. 20 ltc reward for finding it. Up to 11 mhash/sec now. It should hit anytime now.

Just joined see if I can offer a kh/s or 2 

[fcmatt]

Thank you both. Frustrating to have the first block be so tough. Report back your best share if you use cgminer please.
Pool was tested with litecoin testnet before rollout so i know it works. Meaning stratum and pushpool both submitted good enough shares to litecoin and generated coins.

Seeing as there's already a litecoinpool(.org), it's pretty lame that you'd make "lite.coin-pool". Consider rebranding (especially when you're just another cookie cutter pool).

On the contrary the domain name was picked out to be generic in case I wanted to start a pool for a different coin.
feather.coin-pool.com for example. I do not think anyone cares. having lite, coin, pool, etc... in your domain is sorta expected.

Making some tweaks to the server tonight. I will have to restart some daemons so you may see a disconnect or three.
Bear with me.

sathackr threw some nice power at the pool and gave it a stress. I disabled verbose logging. I up'd the diff for pushpool and stratum to 63.
I am looking for other ways to keep things stable. Thanks.

1st block found by astralvoid. So the 20 LTC bounty has been claimed.

I am reviewing all the payout code now and will setup a new bounty as soon as I am satisfied all current
users are getting paid correctly.

stupid noob question my miner says 24mh/s but site says 15kh/s is this due to difficulty or something I am not understanding?

stupid noob question my miner says 24mh/s but site says 15kh/s is this due to difficulty or something I am not understanding?

Since pushpool has a share difficulty setting of 63 or better you may see some variance in the speed being reported.
A diff of 63 is difficult to find for a 24 khash/sec miner. So you will find that you submit a bunch of shares at once and your
speed is higher. Then you hit a drought and submit less shares so your speed is less as reported on the website.

Just know that everyone has to submit difficulty 63 shares. Both pushpool and stratum users. So it is very fair when it comes time
to determine payouts for users. I am exploring variable difficulty which will help miners with a lesser amount of hashing power.
It will allow them to submit lesser difficulty shares, their hashing speed as reported on the website will not vary as much, and
gives you something to look at.

And we found our 2nd block! very good luck. The bounty for the 3rd block is 10 LTC.

Hope what little speed I offered helped but after 3 days and over 1000 stales and 0 accepted time to get back to btc. Seems I can get accepts of btc but not on ltc.
