Your password parameters dont seem to be working.......... my pass is set to -p c=NET,mc=SKR,d=26886 
right now im mining aoll of scrypt.. mainly wbtc and copper at a difficulty of 262143.5... so... its not reading the right diff... nor is it reading the mined coined option

[gradinkov]

UPDATE

1. x11 algo stratum will be working on x11.mine.zergpool.com. Will also change to [ALGO].mine.zergpool.com:[PORT] server name format, so you can start adapting slowly. No rush as old URLs will work also for quite some time

Do you eliminate regions with this change? i.e. there'll be no europe and us servers anymore, just algo.mine.zergpool.com?

[pinpins]

Thank you!

This was caused by recent DNR wallet upgrade. Wallet was keeping crashing, I am rolling back to previous version now....

[pinpins]

UPDATE

1. Small API logic change - if algo has only no-autotrade coins, it will not be reported to "status" api. This is to prevent mining by auto-profit software in algos, having only no auto-exchange coins.

Hello.
I mine on your pool a couple days on Bitcore BTX adress:  1HEna34LcLkbZv47HTHhrZCcYp2pp8szis
I didn't received any payment and yesterday I had more than 4BTX. Today an airdrop day and I may not receive my coins because of that!
What's wrong???

Similar problem with LTC. The message was saying that the threshold is ~0.05. During the last payout before the change of the day I had 0.051 LTC and I got no payment. What does the ~0.05 LTC mean? 0.05 or 0.05999? Can't a stable number be used?

Tribus is okay now.

I did notice when the server got hit with 1000s of people at once on Neoscrypt it got a bit spotty.

[nike23spoon]

hi pinpin,
i'm new user to your pool.
can you explain why total amount kept going up daily but the balance amount coincidentally stops count before the 0.004 payout mark?
the balance amount hasn't changed for the last 4 days, the immature amount keeps stacking up.

Yes. Same issue.

There are still connection issues when the number of simultaneous miners for a single algo is above 1000. 

When can you install a much powerful server with many CPU cores ?

Installing many small servers is not helping because the number of miners can go very fast from 100 to 2000 while total number of miners remains almost the same and miners are never distributed to all algos, miners are like "a swarm of bees" that go from one algo to another all driven by Awesome Miner.

When will you have a very powerful server installed ?

There is market price used. On Sunday there was deep on BTC, so LTC went almost up to 0.02BTC. So it is pure math in system.
This is a payment we did for LTC on Sunday.

Also because of you I missed an 7% airdrop on Monday and it's like you simply still it from me!
I demand payment!!!!!!

Hi, I noticed there are  3 hours of orphaned blocks and pending balance suddenly dropped probably because of that.

Can you do anything to avoid  having so many orphaned blocks ?

I noticed that this pool's real revenue paid in BTC for 24 hours is  dragged down a lot by the following 2 issues:

1) "connection refused" - that I noticed a lot for many RIGS ( DDOS protection is too restrictive or server is overloaded ) ;  
2) many orphaned blocks caused by too late coin being disabled or bad configuration when there is a chain split

PinPin , if you use several public IPs and start more instances for the same algo, each instance with a different public IP, will this help avoiding this kind of issue ? How does ZPOOL solve this issue because they have 38000 miners and many times there are more than 8000 simultaneous miners for the same algo, a lot more than zergpool (see that only 3 non consecutive blocks are orphan for tribus on zpool : https://www.zpool.ca/site/mining ) ? Thanks.

[eminer001]

WHY is this greedy pool not paid for three weeks my 0.002BTC I will say that they are scammers My wallet 194UADtniM913eexVqqSsyyo3P6nkScyqX
I wanted to stay on this pool but they're dishonorable! beware of them

because: BTC payouts are made automatically every 12 hours for all balances above 0.008, or 0.004 on Sunday. http://zerg.zergpool.com/
Read first.

1) "connection refused" - that I noticed a lot for many RIGS ( DDOS protection is too restrictive or server is overloaded ) ;  
2) many orphaned blocks caused by too late coin being disabled or bad configuration when there is a chain split

I believe the root of evil is the same for both: the hardware is too weak to handle more than a certain number of miners connections -> when this limit is reached, the stratum server falls off and miners start getting "connection refused" -> when stratum server goes up and miners resume working on the block, that block comes too late and the network refuses it (i.e. it becomes "orphan").
However, it's just my theory, I don't know what actually goes there.

I hope pinpins will select a good server with this CPU:  Intel  2x Xeon E5-2680v4 - 28c/56t - 2.4GHz /3.3GHz RAM:  512GB DDR4 ECC 2133 MHz with 2 x 450GB NVME SSD ( https://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/enterprise/1801mg04.xml )
otherwise he will not be able to compete with zpool server that has more than 40000 miners simultaneously.

also :

Recommended installation of yiimp for large pools

Server setup break-down:
Server 1: Web Server
Server 2: DB Server
Server 3: Stratum Server
Server 4: Coin Daemon Server

I would install on the same powerful server both DB and Web Server to avoid network latency delay for each DB request.

Additional Servers can be setup to improve the network performance;
Server 5-7: Can be set as either backup web server, high diff stratum server, secondary coin server




But the most important part is to have dual Xeon 2x Xeon E5-2680v4 - 28c/56t , because miners are like a swarm of bees, all moving simultanously from one algo to another, and using many smaller servers for  different algos does not help, because most fo the time many servers will not be used, but if you have a powerful server it can handle large traffic amounts, specially for stratum to avoid "connection denied" and for web server with NGINX to handle the huge number of api requests form all miners that are downloading statistics via API.

What do you think, pinpins ?

[sundownz]

If the server is in-house & not leased from a provider... you can grab some pretty mean servers used on e-bay.

I am mining with a bunch of Dell R815 with 4x Opteron 6380 CPUs (16 cores each) that I picked up very reasonably:

Checked, we are short of BTX.

"BTC payouts are made automatically every 12 hours for all balances above 0.008, or 0.004 on Sunday.
Payouts for all other currencies are made automatically every 12 hours for all balances above 0.005 in BTC equivalent, or 0.001 on Sunday.
BTC and LTC are guaranteed payout coins, for others please check block amount we mine in pool."

If you mouse over BTX coin, you will see how much we are short of. It also is red color advising to switch to another one.

Hopefully we will get some mined soon!
