[ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com

[fenican]

Does not seem to be working properly.  I get no better profit than I do mining LTC.  Should theoretically be 20-30% more profitable

[Kuroth]

h2odysee, have you read the PM? 

He only seems to get on here 1 or 2 hrs a day..  I am sure he will see it next time he is on..

We appreciate you helping him Balthazar...   

[h2odysee]

h2odysee, have you read the PM? 

Yes. I corrected the issue right after your PM.

rough patches in the beginning.. seems to have smoothed out now.

[h2odysee]

I just noticed that everyone was disconnecting for about 15 seconds when I do a certain database update. Database updates have been throttled, and it looks ok now.

Edit: Its not ok. Just saw another disconnect. working on it.

Edit2: Should be ok now.

[wizzardTim]

Im very interested to see how this goes

[darinterwebs]

Been hashing here for about 36 hours, seeing earnings at or slightly above LTC mining.

Rejects from 8%-12%. My rigs are 4x7950 per box and my ping to the pool is 35ms.

Any suggestions h2odysee?

I wish I had an answer.

My rig is 2 7970s. I never really go above 3% rejects + stales. My ping is 45 ms.

This probably doesn't help any, but here are my 7970 settings:

"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-fan" : "0-75",
"temp-target" : "72",
"intensity" : "13",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-engine" : "1090",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192"

I do have plans to lower server load, and do more seamless coin switching. And I may do a lower difficulty test.

[h2odysee]

Can anyone tell me their ratio of stale to rejected shares? I.e. The SS figure in cgminer, and the R figure. And over what time period.

Also, if anyone is using --no-submit-stales, can you tell me your address?

Have been using that for a long time. ~3-4% rejects.

Indeed seems to me that the 512 diff is to high for my box'es.

There come by a lot of new blocks before my box gets one accepted

Please lets run a test with a lower diff for a day or so?!?!

H20 I have the same Rig as you...  2 7970's.   If I can be of any help or you need me to try anything just let me know...   Here to help..

Been hashing here for about 36 hours, seeing earnings at or slightly above LTC mining.

Middlecoin is my main pool, have only one failover pool. It's a rig with 4x5850s. cgminer has been up for quite a long time as you can see. I am not using --no-submit-stales.

[STT]

If I put CG on load balance it skips middlecoin mostly.  I get about 10% rejects, I think the fastest coins leave it doing nothing much


Less then 1 share a minute, is really bad?

[h2odysee]

I feel that the pool is finally stable and working as it should. I'm going to be increasing the fee to 3%, effective right after the next payout, at 7:30 PM PST tomorrow (~21 hours from now). The fee is applied during mining, not paying out, so anything mined until then has a 2% fee.

The reason for the increased fee is:
- To cover server costs. I've had to upgrade my server, and put an additional support server online. Also in the plan is an EU server, and possibly others.
- To cover unexpected transaction fees in some of the coins. Most don't cost anything to send money, but a few do.
- Because I feel that the pool is worth it.


TODO, in order of priority:

- Increase database performance. This will prevent the random disconnects that last around 10 seconds. The last such disconnect was maybe 8 hours ago. This may also reduce the rejected rate
- Add some reporting.
  - Pool Profit graph, with litecoin comparison
  - Pool hashrate graph, with reject graph.
  - Per-user page with profit graph
  - JSON API
  - Alerts that email (or text for a fee?) miners when their miner stops submitting blocks. Along with this, I may add workers, so you can log in with <youraddress>.1 with one rig, and <youraddress>.2 with your other rig.
  - Alerts that text me when there is a problem.
- Do a more advanced stale/reject calculation, not based on what the miners are reporting, but try to infer their actual hashrate.
- Do a lower difficulty test, to see if it increases hashrate.
- Add an EU server. This will take some time, since I probably want it to interface with the same database as my US server. Once this server is up, I'll look at a global map of our hashrates and pings, and possibly put more servers up, because it will be easy after the EU one.
- Make the coin transitions seamless, and only occur when a block is found. This will reduce the rejected rate, and increase the hash rate slightly.


If you feel any of those items are high priority, let me know.

I'm trying the pool... Thanks
