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

[phzi]

Any one else seeing similar or is it a problem at my end?  I understand the two big up spikes - PW explained this on the previous page but the odd sawtooth display on the left is odd

That looks like you were failing over to WafflePool from another pool, or vice-versa.  Or it's just missing data.

UPDATE www.wafflepoolmonitor.com :

Due to a bug in code, the graph would jump showing incorrect past values for hashrates and balances, also for some non regular miners on this pool past values would flatline at 0. The bug has been corrected and no such error should be seen now on.

Thanks for the update.

I'm still seeing the problem that I reported earlier where there are spikes between zero and maximum hash rate every 20 minutes. You indicated that this happens when wafflepoolmonitor is not able to get the data through the api from wafflepool for a address.

This seems to happen every day, for hours at a stretch. And in fact it's happening for me now. It started a little less than 5 hours ago.

When I go directly to the wafflepool.com tmp_api URL for my address, I always get back reasonable JSON.

I really like wafflepoolmonitor, but it's hard to get reasonable info out of it when it's in this broken mode.

Because we are maintaining data for more than 1100 addresses, the batch jobs downloading the data fail sometimes. Updated the backend to reduce the failures and not show any more peaks from now on.

I'm seeing some very odd traces from Waffle Pool Monitor:

The sawtooth display on the left is because wafflepoolmonitor.com was not able to download the data through the wafflepool API and not any problem at your end.

This issue has been resolved and such peaks should no longer appear in graphs from now on.

your pool looks interesting but you're not really mining the most profitable coins.

for instance - looks like you missed fluttercoin and emc - two which I mine often and I get much better results than you guys by choosing my own coins.

why are you ignoring the most profitable coins?

Thanks for that explanation.

WOW,

Doge difficulty is over 2000....

Is it still the most profitable coin to mine??? I see we mainly mine doge but with the increase in difficulty of about 100% in the last 10 hours and only increase in value of 40% is it still the best coin to mine???

I trust waffle and his system, just thinking out loud here...

Thanks

EDIT: My bad, I was looking at the wrong chart, Difficulty is also up about 30-35%... So its about the same. I just wish we can add more coins that are more profitable and diverse our coin mining portfolio. Right now we are mainly mining Doge and Litecoin... According to coin warz they are not the most profitable coins out there...

But I am very happy with Waffle and trust his profit calculations....

Thanks again

Where did you get 2000? It's ~1100 and has been in the 900-1300 range most of the time.

Database upgrades are going to be starting soon (finishing testing, then switching), will most likely be in the next hour or so.  Stats / Web will be disabled during the cut-over with an explanation.

Reiterating from earlier, assuming everything goes properly, mining should be unaffected, but you will likely see some dips/peaks in the stats graphs from when shares were buffered and processed during the transfer.  If anything goes horribly wrong and mining could be affected, I will disable stratum endpoints until everything is back up and working.  If your miner fails over to a backup pool, it is likely that is what happened.  Please make sure you have a backup pool enabled.

[poolwaffle]

New database is in place.  Everything went smoothly, although it took a bit longer than expected.  Mining was uninterrupted, and everything should be running on the new box

Awesome!!!

Thanks for the update I may return here although Mooncoin is doing splendidly I have already reached my ROI

I Suggest adding Mooncoin & Earthcoin & Leafcoin here.

[utahjohn]

Mooncoin is not a high rate profit coin at the moment.  Hold them until the block reward halves and watch markets

EDIT: which I am mining exclusivly

Hi Guys!

So wafflestats is/are dead?

Will it return?

But doesn't mooncoin trade for way under 1 satoshi at the moment? I think it's only trading for LTC right now, which would mean he'd have to exchange the mooncoin -> LTC -> BTC, pay 2x the fees, and small price gaps on either of those steps could be costly...

What about earchcoin and leafcoin?

Short story: They're not profitable.

Long story. Earthcoin is only profitable on large blocks, and with a difficulty of 0.3, even if we switched the minimum amount of hash power we could (1/24th of the pool - 1.4ghs), which would give us an average block time of 0.92 seconds, many of them being shorter.  Assuming latency from the switcher to stratum endpoints of 50ms, and assuming latency from endpoints to miners of 100ms, you're looking at a huge efficiency loss just due to block speed.  And on top of that, because of earthcoin block rewards being random, its very profitable to mine one block, and hugely bad profitability the next, and we'd need to be switching on a sub-one second basis.  And when propagation time is 200ms total, its just not feasible.

I check coinwarz too, I'm fully aware of what coins there are (we even mined all three of the ones you mentioned at some time in the past), theres a good reason we're mining what we're mining.

I know a lot of people are against this but I still think it would be awesome if we had a segment with like a separate port where people could mine and then rather than immediately cashing out the coins to BTC they would be held a little longer term seeking price appreciation and cash out at more ideal times (with inherent risks involved of course.) Sort of like a multipool mutual fund lol.

One of the next major features I'd like to work on (although it is a very large codebase change) is optional payouts in the coins that we mine.  Essentially you'd be able to "register" (sign a message from your btc account) an altcoin address, and those addresses would get paid mined coins (before exchange), and any leftover balance would be exchanged.  So essentially, depending on the coins we've mined, you might get back 50% in that coin, and 50% in btc, and the next day a different amount (depending on how much was mined).

It has a bunch of benefits for everyone, we can avoid the exchange (fees), can avoid pushing down the market a bit (not selling those coins), and people get to hold coins they want to hold (optional).  Its a win-win, its just a lot of code
