[POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com

[rallasnackbar]

is there eu server for this pool?

Literally working on it as we speak.  Spooling up stratum endpoints in US East (NY), US West (California), and Europe (Netherlands).  Hopefully up within a few days (maybe late tonight?)

Is it eu.wafflepool.com ?  I could already take it into my pool list, then it would switch as soon as it is online.

Dont think they are fully up yet, think he would announce it.

Tried this overnight with 4mh/s and got my first payout this morning, it was decent

I have been using middlecoin, but it just seems like more and more are getting caught up in the unexchanged and payouts have been really low.  Not sure if his exchange scripts broke or he's waiting for a market recovery.

I thought it was a way to keep people there. I still have unexchanged, and i havnt bin there for 7 days.

Nice block right there (fingers crossed for no orphan):

We've been down this road before, and the last time someone brought it up, it was me making the very same assumption.  But now that I am on the other side, I remember why I don't usually participate in online forums...  Having a productive conversation can be like herding cats!  (For non-native English speakers, that's an idiomatic expression suggesting a fruitless effort spent on a near impossible task.)  As such, I will now bid you all adieu.  poolwaffle, please keep at it and do not let us all down.  I can assure you that your efforts are appreciated..

sorry if I didn't know that.
know what? forums are for getting knowledge.
did you know that? you seem to have had a similar experience as mine, so you should

/offtopic

Perhaps he was referring to very same discussion had in this thread on page 2, 4 and 8?

Not really, you don't have to be actively mining for your coins to get exchanged, but the last couple days they have only trickled out of the exchanged balance, mining or not.  Don't get me wrong - I really like middlecoin, but something is broken atm.

One thing I am really digging in this pool is the lack of rejected shares.  This is WAY below avg for me for the past 12 hours.

Looks like it's shaping up to be a pretty decent day.

Looks like it's shaping up to be a pretty decent day.

Hopefully. I switched about 4 days ago from Middlecoin, just when the bad luck streak started... So far I get only 25% of what I get at Middlecoin on average. I'm gonna try a few more days, hopefully it'll get better. I do like that waffle has more transparency & better communication.

Wasn't just bad luck, there were some malfunctions. Hopefully fixed now!

has anyone already used the chance
to let two identical rigs run in parallel
on wafflepool and middlecoin for a week or two ?

I thought perhaps the reward estimate might have been off at the time, but I've been following the recent estimates posted on the stats page and the subsequent generation rewards in the block chain and they indeed do track properly.  I then considered the possibility that we very quickly found the next block after the one deemed to be profitable -- before being able to switch to another coin, but there was a 66 second gap between the two blocks being found, so why didn't we switch to another coin?  What happened?  At 193,881 doge reward, the profitability for that block would have fallen below even that of litecoin, which always has sufficient exchange volume, so how is it that we were still allocating our resources to doge under those circumstances?

These small doge blocks are just issues that need tweaking (slightly faster response time).  The only times I've seen this happen are in special circumstances (where we didn't intend to mine this block, it just happened).  When I've seen it, we start mining a high value block (say 700k or so), and between the time we start mining, and the time we check profitability again (can take 10+ seconds due to exchange pricing delays, block processing cpu spikes, etc), someone already mined the high-value block, and we mined a small block immediately after it.  I've also seen it happen (not on doge, but on luckycoin), where we will notice the block value change, tell miners to switch, and have some miners (especially on very high intensity) still submit shares 2-3 seconds after being requested to switch.  When these shares come in, we still process them for a bit (until that coin's block changes), and if someone submits a valid block for a coin we just stopped mining, we'll still submit it to the network (why the hell not!), and can get smaller block rewards.

In the first of the cases, we can fix it by watching closer (which just needs some tweaks), the second case is just a matter of a few seconds of jump time between coins, which gets solved (slightly) with more endpoints (lower latency).

1. The reward of each block is known as it is mined, therefore it is not rando reward and we are ideally only mining the high reward blocks.

2. What I suspect happened is that a high reward block was solved just before Wafflepool did, and I believe that currently Wafflepool has their minimum shift time for one coin to 9 minutes - Unfortunately in some cases that means that a dogecoin 800k reward block is found within 30seconds leaving us with 8 mins 30 seconds mining say a 200k reward block, which is obviously not as good.

1) Correct.
2) Close, but on a much smaller timescale (check above), we switch as fast as possible, but that is sometimes upwards of 20-30 seconds.

Is it eu.wafflepool.com ?  I could already take it into my pool list, then it would switch as soon as it is online.

Not up yet, and haven't 100% decided on endpoint.  I'll make some posts when they're up (and some notifications on the site).  I _think_ that will be the correct endpoint, but I don't want your miner switching over as I'm testing it

Tagcoin should be re-enable, looks like their blockchain problems are fixed and they are profitable right now

Checking on it now, if everything looks good, I'll re-enable.

the pool is quite impressive, low rejected, good stats with minimalistic site( i love it ) and a big thanks for who implemented wafflestats with graphs!
I think i will stop mining scam coins and using this as primary pool.
Thanks again!

Kittehcoin (MEOW) is on Cryptsty now , think it should be added to the pool , coin is profitable right now Catcoin (CAT) is also profitable right now, difficulty dropped value did not

Both are being added, but will likely take a couple days to show up.  I don't want to add them to the existing stratum endpoints.  I'm actively working on getting geo stratum endpoints (us west, us east, eu) setup, and so when these are up, they'll have CAT/MEOW on them, just don't want to throw any more confusion into the mix while getting these setup

Hello,

Recently I joined the pool and I have to admit that it is very nice. It looks like I will stick to it for longer.

Unfortunately I have an issue with 42 coin. I have relatively small hash power something around 140kH/s and it looks that I haven’t got even a bit of 42 coin so far.
I guess that even though the pool is mining it, my share is smaller than possible piece of any block reward, so I am getting 0…
I am afraid that in practice when pool is mining 42 I have an idle time, because I won’t get anything from it.

Could you please have look in to it?

Which coin you are mining doesn't matter, those stats are just for more information (transparency).  If you mine nothing but 42 (by coincidence/timing), but the only blocks found are doge, you'll see earnings for doge, and nothing for 42.  Its a bit more complicated than this due to PPLNS, but as long as you see shares being counted on your stats page, and see balances of some coins going up, everything is most likely being calculated correctly.

I'm assuming you just did a payout? How long does it take to show up in my wallet? The "Bitcoins earned (not yet sent)" is zero, which means you did a payout, but it didn't show up for me (yet?).

Yep, just did a payout.  Should show up instantly assuming your wallet is sync'd (or you're using a remote wallet like blockchain).  Email me your address if it doesn't show up within a few minutes (poolwaffle@gmail.com)

I was just wonder because all the other numbers are running, just 42 is all the time 0

Some update on the eu.wafflepool.com ?

Great work, and you're rewarded for it with a 1,05 GH mining pool running without disappointments.

Other question, does anybody know how long confirmation time is for Mooncoin? Have a lot their in Unconfirmed for more then a day now. Hopefully they get confirmed quick, it's some good BTC in their.

Hope to hear from you!

Greets,
