About the graphs:

A lot of you may have noticed that your personal graph isn't updating very often. Others may not have seen much change at all, up to today.

It all comes down to rapid growth. There's about four times more active users than a few months ago and maybe an extra thousand in the last week. I may be way off with the exact numbers. I didn't keep track, but the message is the same. Getting lot's more users is great, but it can lead to growing pains.

One thing that's happening is that the auto updates to the graphs (run from cron) stop after about 2300 data files. These are run in the order they originally came from the JSON file which is sorted by hash rate. So, if your are in the top 2000+ hash rates on the site you have been getting regular updates. I'm not doing this by design. I've just discovered this is the way it's been working.

In the good old days, a week or so ago, there were fewer active users than that, and everyone got an update every 10 to 15 minutes. Right now we have over 4000 active users. (Active user means "Has a hash rate at the time the graph is run".) There are over 9000 total users who have stats and data files.

It can take, on average, a second to render a graph on my little server when it's under load. So, it can take over an hour to run graphs for all active users. Inactive users, who have no hash rate at the time the graphs run, are ignored for now.

If an auto update starts before the last one ends it can lead to a server lock up, so for now I've backed off auto updates to once an hour. That's for the lucky top half of the hash rates. I've also been running updates that will get the rest of the active users, but less often and only when I'm awake and at my desk in California.

This is temporary, and I'm working to lessen the pain, but I wanted to let everyone know what's going on.

Appreciate the update. So even with the lack of updates to hash rate and other stats, we're still mining? I've been using 3333 just fine for the past two days at ~1.6Mh/s

Yup, the graphs, while nice, aren't essential to actual pool operation :] As long as your workers are reporting shares and aren't experiencing a ton of stales or disconnects then you should be fine

Hi,
I like this pool. Thanks for the excellent work. Been mining on it for 32 hours straight now, balance is >0.2 BTC now.
But I got no payout so far? Why is that? Shouldn't it have been about 5 hours ago?

check within the last page or so,payout is delayed for an unspecified amount of time

Thanks, I must have overlooked it. Hope it pays out soon. Otherwise there is no point in using a multipool at the moment, just mine straight DOGE all the time, and you are all set in terms of profatibility. Just have to go through the hassle of exchanging to BTC yourself.

But here's the thing. I created a new address to start mining from <1FQHiMcfA8qWEZKhyLNcSJ9Hj6w2LaoQbH> and it showed up 5 minutes after I started mining. What is going on here?

What should I put in as thread concurrency and intensity?

Should I put something that is good for litecoin mining or maybe something closer to worldcoin mining?

you're totally OT mate...

coinGeek - What does your data storage look like for Middlecoin? Have you considered offloading the rendering to the client via a JS charting library? That way you can focus on just storing the data and letting the browser turn it into a chart with simple JSON responses. I threw together a simple proof of concept, but I was using about 500 KB of storage every update interval. That's almost 0.5 GB per week!

If it isn't too complicated, it would be great to show at http://middlecoin.com/ how many BTC we get per day with X khash/s (1000 for example) at the current difficulty and exchange rate.

given changing exchange rates, difficulties, and coins mined that would be near impossible to do i think.  The best thing you could probably do is look at a few people with similar hashrates to yourself and see what their payouts have been like

Well, the exchange rate is already taken into account to calculate "unexchanged", the only information needed would be difficulty of the currently mined coin.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to take the graph off the home page, put it on a sub-page and instead show the key numbers?

[daynomate]

Anyone else think "mega-hash days" might be a useful unit of measure?

I.e 1Mhashday = 24 hours running @ average of 1Mhash/s

Could be useful to tally your work for a week/month if your hash rate varies due to various reasons.

Why isn't my balance of 0.00918373 BTC paid out since 2 days? Thought the daily automatic payout is processed, if the balance raises above 0.001 BTC?

check a few pages back, h2o raised it but hasn't updated the text on the main site. 

[iarsenaux]

are they really paying out? i thought pay out is being done every day? should i move to a different pool?

They are having issues with Cryptsy withdrawls I believe, just hold on, no need to move, payouts are brilliant at middlecoin.com

Ah ok - found it - thank you. h2o should update this post and his pool's site - i think i am not the only one getting unsure of his payout strategy (after reading the text on his site and looking onto the own balance)

alright. sorry about being impatient. i'm just getting frustrated due to some scam issues on other pools.


Anyone here who have an idea how much profit will a 2000kh/s rig will give per day?

I'm mining on Middlecoin with about 3Mh/s and it's been paying out about 0.1 BTC per day recently. So you'll probably get around 0.06-0.07 BTC per day at the moment

[bishopcoin]

why hasn't middlecoin paid today? I have 0.031 already exchanged!
And yes i've read some previous pages, nothing there.
