I have been mining IFC for about 24 hours on a single gpu just to test it out. It has been running solid at 820kh/s. The website shows I should have pay outs (or I am reading it wrong) - but I have not had any payouts received. I used a Cryptsy deposit address and  I know it said not to, but I figured it would work. The address is iPh6egDPgKEDb51D3TwxEoo1AiTxbErwUG - http://exploretheblocks.com:2750/address/iPh6egDPgKEDb51D3TwxEoo1AiTxbErwUG

I did download an IFC wallet about 2 hours ago but I'm still waiting for it to sync to the network. TBH, I've never used a computer based wallet program so I'm not too sure how it all works yet, but I think I can figure that part out.

Please let me know how to get this thing paying out. I love the idea of infinitecoin and would switch all my miners if I can get the payout issue fixed.

Thanks!

Good news. Wallet is synced and I show a balance and unconfirmed IFC now. Is there a way to retrieve the nearly 19k IFC from the other address though?

hodger and eServiZes.com...Regarding the gaps in payment, these are because the pool's share difficulty has increased over the last month.  At your own fixed hasrate there will be longer gaps between you finding shares.  If this gap between you finding a share is longer than the time that it takes for payouts from your last share to run out, you'l have a gap in actual payments until you find that next share.

The increase in the pool's share dificulty is is due to the increased total pool hashrate.  P2Pool sets the difficulty dynamically as the total pool hashrate changes, with the aim to keep a certain period between the pool distributing each share.  Currently that time is set as 30 seconds.

I've been thinking about reducing the time between shares to a lower timescale.  This would have the effect of reducing the share difficulty, which would make it easier for everyone to find shares, and would mean fewer and smaller gaps between payments.   I've posted a poll today at http://infinitecointalk.org/index.php/topic,1083.0.html  and would be grateful if all current TreasureQuarry miners would vote on what they would prefer.

eServiZes.com, when you're talking about the comparison between your desktop of  shares accepted, I presume you mean pseudo-shares reported by your miner, as  the +numbers after your IFC wallet address  result in low-difficulty psuedo-shares (for which you're not credited with payments) being reported.
 
At a steady hashrate of 20kh/s  and a pseudo-share difficulty of +0.00001164 your miner should report roughly the same pseudo-shares over a certain period as another computer mining at  330 kh/s with a pseudo-share difficulty set at +0.0001920798.  I wouldn't recommend keeping a 10kh/s setting for a 330 kh/s miner as you may get unexpected behaviour.

If you're still getting unusual pseudo-share reporting, could you tell me which mining program you're using (and version if known) and the command line/settings that you're using.  

Capttech08, great to hear that your wallet is synched and your mined coins are showing there.  A bit of an eeeeeeek about using the Cryptsy address though - that's a big no-no.   The reason is that newly-generated coins (which is how p2pool distributes your mining) are very difficult for exchanges to identify as belonging to your specific Infinitecoin (or other coin) address.  You'll need to contact Cryptsy support and ask them nicely to pick out each individual transaction from its transaction number which you can get from the block explorer.

Ok thanks a ton. Can do

Is there a way I can set up a miner to send coins to a specific, centralized wallet? I have 2 big rigs and 3 smaller rigs that are mining. I like the wallet idea but I dont like the idea of 5 separate wallets on each computer.

Yes, there's no problem with doing that.  If you install the wallet on one computer you can do one of 2 things:

1.  Create 5 separate Infinitecoin addresses in that single wallet.  Then use one of each of those addresses as your username for mining on each of your 5 rigs.  This is the way I'd recommend, as you can then identify on the block explorer how much each individual address (ie each individual rig) is receiving.  It will also be easier to identify if you have problems with one particular rig.

or

2.  Create one single address in the wallet and use that same address on all of the 5 rigs.  This would give you one address with the total hashpower of all 5 rigs.  I wouldn't recommend this over the first option though, as this would make it more difficult to identify any issues that may occur with any single rig.

[Capttech08]

That was what I thought, just needed for verify. I have it set up as option 1. 3.2MH/s up and running. Do I need to run a wallet app on the mining rigs themselves, or just on the central computer where the coins are deposited?

[Capttech08]

Never mind. Tested it over night and I can have a centralized wallet. wo0ot

~wo0ot to you too~

[niki25]

5hours mining, and still 0 on wallet, how much time does it take?

[TreasureSeeker]

It will depend on your hashrate, niki25 (and share difficulty which 0.253 as I write this).  What hashrate is your miner reporting?

Hi TreasureSeeker
I can't connect since few hours to your ifc p2pool. (http://treasurequarry.com:9844)
Is it normal?

Thanks

[TreasureSeeker]

Hello bouc and everyone,

Sorry about the downtime.  The server hosting company took the cloud server down for 15 minutes to move it to better hardware.  Unfortunately when they restarted it, the blockchain was corrupted (possibly caused by a very sudden shutdown of the server in the first place).  I'm uploading a fresh copy of the blockchain from my pc at the moment, which is faster than re-downloading the blockchain block by block.  At the current rate of uploading we should be back and hashing away within an hour or thereabouts.      

[TreasureSeeker]

Yippee!  Happy to confirm the pool is back up and running.  Have fun mining at the Treasure Quarry!

[TreasureSeeker]

The pool has now been upgraded to the mandatory update of Infinitecoin1.86.  Everything is looking good with the new version.

I've also upgraded the cloud server itself this evening, adding extra RAM, disk space and CPU power.

Does anyone have any pools similar to http://ifc.scryptmining.com/index.php for infinitecoin. As i would like to continue mining this coin as it has great potential..

Let me know..

Thx

Hi TreasureSeeker
Current version of Infinitecoin 1.8.8 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=356065.0;all

I see that your pool has no peers.
I have the p2pool IFC http://dr-nona.office-on-the.net:9844 on the other side of the Earth.
I suggest you to merge our pools using a p2p network.
It will let our users not to interrupt mining while carrying out any works.
We can change the configuration of the miners a bit.
If it is cgminer then they need to write to the configuration file (cgminer.conf) the second pool and specify one of the strategies:
FAILOVER:
(the default strategy)
Mines in spite of lags until he finally falls, and only then moves to the 2nd, 3rd, etc ... But if the previous pool is restored, the miner immediately switches to it.
ROUND ROBIN:
"round-robin" : true,
Miner simply switches to the next pool if the primary was down.
ROTATE:
"rotate" : 30,
Jumping from pool to pool, with a specified time interval.
LOAD BALANCE:
"load-balance" : true,
The load is distributed between all the pools, but more responsive pools get more shares.
BALANCE:
"balance" : true,
Sends the same amount of shares to all the pools from the list.
For example:

Code:

{
"pools" : [
       {
                "url" : "http://treasurequarry.com:9844",
                "user" : "infinitecoinaddress",
                "pass" : "x"
        },
      {
                "url" : "http://dr-nona.office-on-the.net:9844",
                "user" : "infinitecoinaddress",
                "pass" : "x"
        }
]
,
"load-balance" : true,

Users of the cpu miner 'minerd.exe' can try Miner Failover Script (discussion here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74941.0)

Users can use this strategy, but there are no connected pools and they are not exchange shares, each time when you change miner, it will start its work from scratch.
 If you do not mind to connect our pools we should agree the parameters in the files "networks.py".

[TreasureSeeker]

I've sent you a PM with the settings, sawa, to use if you'd like to connect your pool up with TreasureQuarry.

trying to set this up  darkcoin

{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "darkcoin.treasurequarry.com:7903",
      "user" : "XnEw6zZ7Eh3HCgQXqSxTebxjkVWjnn6hnd",
      "pass" : "x"

is this correct
my MH is around 5

I been mining for hours and no shares what iam doing wrong ?

I been mining in other pools and get shares on this one nothing so far
