What's the statistic for 1 hour of mining?
I've a Rig with 1.85 MH/s

Greetings

[CartmanSPC]

Remember, this is a PPLNS pool so your payout will increase within the first 24 hours.

Changed the site menus to optimize space. Looks much better now

Changing server to (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time. Restarting pools. Mining should only be interrupted for a few milliseconds. You should not notice any anything

Great DGC pool.

Couple of questions!

Just to make sure, the main DGC thread lists your server location in Irvine, CA correct?
Does the distance from the server affect anything at all?
Finally, how many confirmations after a block is found?

[CartmanSPC]

Thanks saber!

Just to make sure, the main DGC thread lists your server location in Irvine, CA correct?

Yes, the server is located at the Savvis datacenter in Irvine, CA. It is one of the best datacenters I have seen. Unlike a lot of other pools this one does not share resources in a hosted environment. It has it's own dedicated equipment.

Does the distance from the server affect anything at all?

For your question related to distance of your miner to the P2Pool please reference this link and look under section "What matters for good P2Pool results: low latencies":
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=153232.0;all

This web site lists latencies of various BTC and LTC P2Pools:
http://p2pool.hostv.pl/

Notice the ping and GWTL columns. This will give you an idea of some of the better performing P2Pools. Please take note that performance is based off the location of the web site and not your miner so only use it as a general guide. You will have to test latency to the pool from your miner.

Finally, how many confirmations after a block is found?

The minute a block is found your portion is immediately deposited into your wallet. All the confirmation happen in your own Wallet. The number of confirmations depends on the crytocoin.

Please feel free to ask any more question and I will do my best to answer them.

Updated Litecoin wallet to 0.6.9.

0.6.9 reduces the mintxfee by 5x down to 0.02 LTC.

Are you going to be running a bitcoin pool again in the future or does this not belong in the bitcoin pool section any more?

Hi,

I am mining on the DGC P2Pool for nearly 24hrs.

Can you explain how address D99erPFYxti2gcT7xTQNgTRrdUtguh7Qka is receiving 8 coins per block mining at 1.1MH/s and I am receiving only 4 coins per block mining at 1.4MH/s?
My address is DTB4cvmoX2ahqhJJou59pSiEw3aA7D2SM7

Many Thanks.

[CartmanSPC]

Hi Shallowgas,

The pool uses a PPLNS reward system. Simply put it pays based on the number of shares you submit over a period of time.

To illustrate this take the example of D99erPFYxti2gcT7xTQNgTRrdUtguh7Qka. They started mining on the pool a couple days before you joined. His portion of submitted shares is much greater because of this. Over time your portion of submitted shares will outnumber his (due to your higher hash rate) and your payout will increase accordingly.

Here is a charts showing your payout increasing as your portion of submitted shares increase:



Another miner with 1.5 Mh/s started shortly after you did so they are also increasing their number of submitted shares along with you but at a slightly higher rate due to his higher level of submitted shares:



The effect of both of you starting to submit shares is decreasing the % of shares D99erPFYxti2gcT7xTQNgTRrdUtguh7Qka is providing. The reason his payout is still higher than yours is because of the two days of work he has submitted before you came on board:



You will notice that if you completely stop mining the pool you will continue to get payouts for a couple of days because of the submitted shares you are currently contributing.

Look at DTWPTRSi9HoLh69NPd2fbDWUGHrx1nLdmk for an example of this. He has not been mining for a little while but will continue to get (decreasing) payouts because of the work submitted while he was on the pool.

I hope this illustrates how the payout system works. If you like I can provide links to much more in-depth explanations.

Speaking of the DGC pool from the above post, I have a question on one of the blocks found.

Here is a block that we found:

http://dgc.xpool.net:8810/static/share.html#5c38ae808c49af64723e0649169d64f5fd00f44ad2b049eefbefe02eeaebba16

This shows who received payments:

The above show that the 20 DGC was sent to the current miners. 

Then I seen this:

This looks just like the one above showing the same miner found the block.  But look what we find when we look at the dgc payouts:
http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/d1c557e8c942f8e5f68e05003d0ed1e0047d664f2db3906188df0b122e2c0843
None of those are DGC wallet addresses and none of these addresses are on the server mining atm.

This has happened more than once since I have been on this server.

[AbiTxGroup]

To go along with my post above, here are some more things that do not look right, so maybe I am missing something to all of this.

These blocks also show different miner addresses:
http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/12489436d5f7ef0483789907cb0b5fd6e96c3c3b340fc2dcc9da00dce2f83fda

http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/d833de70550f8c72e6d4c664a5a475624e3b363b5b9c109f994d7672eabcba98

http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/fa57427f0ee1f4a26ed4ab142b7259f3e9cea78a917e3da2f7676f24026b78a1

So all of these show non-dgc wallet addresses.  Now, if you follow the "transaction" link, you see all of the current miner dgc wallet addresses.  For example, lets follow the transaction link to block fa57...24026b78a1 (the last link above). 

I dont understand what the 1???????????????????? addresses are?

On the transaction page, why do some show redeemed and some dont? 

What does "redeemed" mean?

If I find the answers elsewhere, I will come back and post what I find out.

[CartmanSPC]

Thank you for such a detailed post AbiTxGroup.

This had me scratching my head for a bit but think I tracked it down to a block explorer issue.

If you take the example blocks:

http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/d1c557e8c942f8e5f68e05003d0ed1e0047d664f2db3906188df0b122e2c0843
http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/12489436d5f7ef0483789907cb0b5fd6e96c3c3b340fc2dcc9da00dce2f83fda
http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/d833de70550f8c72e6d4c664a5a475624e3b363b5b9c109f994d7672eabcba98

...and use an alternate block explorer you get Block Not Found except for the last one:

http://dgc.p2pool.nl/block/d1c557e8c942f8e5f68e05003d0ed1e0047d664f2db3906188df0b122e2c0843

http://dgc.p2pool.nl/block/d833de70550f8c72e6d4c664a5a475624e3b363b5b9c109f994d7672eabcba98

I originally used dgc.p2pool.nl but they went offline for a bit. Will switch back since they seem to be doing a better job. The "1" addresses look like BTC to me and can only guess that the block explorer is somehow pulling the wrong info.

Please let me know if you get different results or find any additional information.
