[ANN][TomPool][Auto Profit Switching - SHA256/Scrypt/Keccak - 95+ coins]

[Tommo_Aus]

Yep that's on the 'wait and see' list for the near future, lots of room for improvement when it comes to stats.

The hashrate should be pretty consistent after 10 minutes, you might see a brief drop on a coin switch but it should only be very minor, if at all.

curios about merged mining namecoin, as in 'other' bitcoin mining pools that also merge mine namecoins, is this true of your pool?
they have a separate namecoin payout address as part of each's account.

or

are you already merge mining and calculating those proceeds into our daily payouts?

thx

  I've just started to mine here Tomcoin sha256 with bfgminer, I've never seen more than 1% rejects on other places, but here I get 25% rejects (duplicate share).  Do I have to do something I dont know to fix that?  I have 10 Gh/sec. My address is  1M1RgK3HjNBzzdrR5L8E1WWVtYgegfDMnp


EDIT.  After trying many things I've changed to 3329 port, and now no duplicate shares at all.

Vardiff seems to cause problems for some miners, port 3329 is manual diff and defaulted to 16 which is probably a good figure for your miner.

Have to say I don't know much about merged mining and I haven't found and guides about setting it up.

[cad_cdn]

in a nutshell, you can mine more than 1 coin at the same time, namecoin for example can be mined from the same bitcoin mining process.
(btcguild) does this, if you have an account therel this is from their help section:

------------------
Q:   What is a Merged Mining/What is Namecoin?
A:    Merged Mining is a process where other coins can be mined simultaneously with Bitcoin, without losing any speed/efficiency. BTC Guild participates in merged mining with Namecoins. Namecoins were the original "alternate coin"/"altcoin", where the Bitcoin technology was adapted to a system with a purpose. Today, Namecoin is used as a decentralized DNS system for registering domains with the '.bit' suffix. These can only be accessed by users who use a DNS server which will resolve .bit domains.

All miners on the PPLNS method are awarded Namecoins. PPS workers do not receive Namecoins. You can ignore them, use them yourself, or use a Namecoin exchange to trade them for other cryptocurrencies/Bitcoin.

There are only a few other coins capable of being merged mined. These coins have near-0 value, and offer nothing "unique" like Namecoin does. As a result, BTC Guild does not merged mine the other coins which have the capability (Devoin/IXcoin).

Well, that was a failed experiment. Nearly a full day mining to get .006 BTC, where I would have gotten around .012 on Eligius. Back I go.

[Tommo_Aus]

Biomech - sorry it didn't work out for you, what address did you mine under? Were you seeing lots of invalid shares or rejects?

cad_cdn - I'll look into merged mining at some stage, but I have to say I have no idea how to set it up.

Added the ability to change your TomCoin manual diff settings through the site, please see http://tomcoin.org/tomcoinsha.jsp and http://tomcoin.org/tomcoinscrypt.jsp for further details.

Added Benjamins (BEN) and Continuumcoin (CTM).

There were more rejects than I ever get at Eligius, but not anywhere near 50 percent.

Also, even after switching over to the "set" 64 diff, the website continually showed 10-40 GH/s lower than what I was getting from CGminer. I'm used to about 2-3 percent variance, and it's on both sides of 80.

At least at present, it appears that your service is incompatible with the Technobit HEX16B module.

  On the pool I can  see  I´m mining at 7 Gh/sec most of the time,  I use  10 Gh/sec with 6% in rejected + stales, and for short times web page show me 10 Gh.   I wonder if I really mine at 7  or almost 10.  Is there any place I can see more info about my mine status?   My address is   1M1RgK3HjNBzzdrR5L8E1WWVtYgegfDMnp

[Tommo_Aus]

Biomech and tagore - you might want to try manual worker diff, looks like you're both getting lots of invalids using vardiff, manual diff seems to sort out these problems.

I switched back to Eligius for the time being. You had set it to diff 64, and as near as I could tell it made little difference. I'll try again once I get my Antminers. Then I can afford to lose a bit playing around.

[Tommo_Aus]

Added Teacoin (TEA)

@Tommo no merged mining support in stratum this far. only software i know capable of it is eloipool. i know theres a WIP on merged mining but i tried it and it fails completely for me.

Aah ok, I was wondering if that was the case, seems like something that would be more widely publicised if stratum natively supported it. I found a guide for setting up merged mining using poolserverj, but its a complete change of architecture compared to my current pool setup. Not to mention merged mining seems to consist of a Bitcoin/Namecoin combination, both of which have very high difficulty, far too high for TomPool.

yup. hopefully one of us can get the job done but I don't know when since its possible i'll be moving away from stratum to a custom pool server (fork of coinium (WIP that im contributing to and may be able to add Merged Mining to there)) so far the only merge mineable coins are:

namecoin(high diff)
devcoin (high diff)
i0coin (high diff)
ixcoin (high diff)
groupcoin(high diff?)
coiledcoin (killed in 51% attack)

Unfortunately I still don't understand much about how stratum works, I'd like to build my own Java based stratum server but my knowledge of block submissions/etc is very limited, I'd probably just confuse myself! My python is limited to assuming what different commands do.

Do you know if this coinium fork will support MPOS?

[ahmed_bodi]

sure will. I plan on working on it with raistlinthewiz. we're starting off with basic getwork support and then expanding as we go further. hopefully we can get merge mining support added to it aswell

[viper131]

pointed a couple workers here. Look forward to seeing how it goes.
