Based on feedback we've received, we now display the Average Hashrate over the last n payout intervals at http://stats.altcoinplex.com/poolstats.html !

Hi everyone!

Our average payouts for yesterday 29th March was 0.004596 BTC/MH/Day

Our apologies for this late update. We've been working on the backend feverishly yesterday and today. The stats on the Current Estimate Payout for today is inaccurate (off by about 25%-40%) while we working on it. The final payouts tonight should be be affected. We are still working around-the-clock on it and hope to provide better and more stable returns for our miners!

Our stats are back to normal, the current estimated payout for today can be found at the top of our homepage http://stats.altcoinplex.com/

We now show your reject rate over a period of time in your users stats page!

Cheers and happy mining!

We've just pushed out an update that should see slightly more stable and consistent returns/payouts.

How prepared is your pool to accept significant boosts to hash power?  What kind of ddos considerations are in place?  Pool performance reports seem amazing, especially for considering just 10 miners and about 15mh/s.  If it keeps up and you make your way into some of the comparison charts then this may explode.

Edit: deleted one of my questions since it's plainly posted on the main website.

Also... why so few people mining here?  Seems like a decent pool.  Guess I'll know after tonight.

Anyone home?  Bump...

How prepared is your pool to accept significant boosts to hash power?  

We were tested with around 500 mh/sec at one point last month, just shortly after the middlecoin incident, and handled it without much issues. With the huge updates and optimizations to our server architecture over the past month, we are confident that we can handle much more than that without any significant issues.

What kind of ddos considerations are in place?

We're looking at setting up eu/useast/uswest/asia servers and putting loadbalancers in front of them in the near future if the hashrate increases significantly. With our devops tools, setting each server up should take under a day or two, barring blockchain syncs taking longer than that!

Cloudflare should be implemented for the frontend website once we finish with our next couple of rounds of updates to the backend.

What will your fee be when you do finally implement one?

Our mining fee will be 1%.

Haha, I was just replying to your message! We're on +0800 GMT here, do bear with us due to our timezone differences!

Ah, I see.  Thank you for the reply.  I feel so lonely in this pool.  Looking forward to maybe having some company.  But uhh.... I guess I don't really have a lot of friends to drag on here with me.  Sorry!

Well, maybe someone else will take a try with me.  The website stats are 'okay'.  I wish I could get a better status as far as current earnings but I'm okay with waiting until the payout to see the performance too. 

All the talk of "major changes" makes me nervous.   Makes me think there will be service interruptions and interruptions are pretty much the #1 thing that makes miners (me anyways) move to a new pool.

Also, your answer to my question about ddos protection wasn't exactly what I was hoping to see given that another well known pool (Clevermining) just got schwacked pretty good by DDOS and they had cloudflare protection. 

Good luck.  Hope we all prosper and hope btc value and other coins flourish.

It appears we had a run of bad luck today, a few of the coin blocks we mined turned out to be orphaned. Since we are a small pool, this resulted in a huge drop in our earnings for the day.

As a result, our payouts for today is 0.004490 BTC/MHs/Day

[grendel25]

Come on people now...  Come join me!    Throw some hash and get some cash.

seems interesting pool.

I am watching it closely,

guys how is your experience of mining with this pool's servers?

I think there's like 6 to 8 actual people mining on here... lol.  My experience so far is positive and on par with other payouts.  I think it has potential if folks would give it a shot.  But... don't look for a lot of replies to your question... just not that many folks actually mining here so far.  Looks like a few folks had some problems earlier up in this thread.  The website reports some sporadic rejects but my cgminer is indicating not more than 1% rejects over the past two days.

[jrrsparkles]

Another night, another round of payouts. Today's payouts average at 0.004656 BTC/MHs/Day

The low hashrate in our pool is causing quite a few orphaned blocks yesterday and today, reducing overall profits for everyone. I'm reverting back to our previous switching algo for the time being to see if payouts will improve.

[grendel25]

Hmmmm, pretty good payouts considering such low pool hash.  I'm really interested to see what this pool can do with something more on the magnitude of 100 Mh/s.  But... I also sort of like being the king of the pool with my big bad 6.2 Mh/s rig lolol

Who is this doin' this emphatic type of alpha-beta psychedelic hashing?

Chemical bros... ha!

[grendel25]

I had some technical difficulties of my own trying to update from win8 to 8.1.  Now I'm back at full strength.  Looking forward to give at least a solid 3 days at full strength to see how this pool performs.  Still very lonely.  Won't someone else come join me?  Fire up some hash here, eh?  hehehehe

[grendel25]

A few questions:

1. Does the FAQ link work?

2. What is considered a "current round"?

3. Can you explain more about rounds such as how long each round lasts (60 minutes?).  This may help understand more about what the user "estimated payout" info means

4. Is there any place where we can see exactly what coins are being mined other than looking at our cgminer? 

5. Probably not a priority but... adding any more coins?

Todays payout was pretty good.  Roughly .005 btc per Mh/s.  So looking forward to seeing if my rigs can stay consistent a bit more and see how it progresses.

Thanks.   Still wishing some more folks would jump on this pool to give it a fair shot.

Hi grendel25,

1. We still in the midst of updating the FAQ.

4. Currently, thats the only way.

5. We been exploring more coins.
