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

[jaybee3014]

EDIT:  After running the 256 for about and hour or so...I have noticed two things.  1)I get quite a bit of work restarts.  2)I get quite a bit of detected new block.  This appears to lead me to my concern....cgminer is reporting what appears to be a lot less accepted work since the change.  I am at about .5% reject rate on 1.8MH/s.  Is this normal, or is there currently an issue on your side?  ...OK just looked again and now ive got like 10 straight accepts...it seems to come and go in spirts.  Is this normal?  Thx.

Work restarts and new blocks have _nothing_ to do with your worker diff.  That's just because we are mining a fast coin, or switching between coins quickly.  Periodic rejects are normal (it happens when 2 blocks are found within seconds of each other, or a new block is found and then we switch coins right away).  Under 1% reject rate is great.

Thank you for your feedback!

So a quick status update for you guys.

First off, pool is good and stable for the time being (hooray being able to handle an 8x pool expansion overnight!)

Second thing, I've temporarily disabled coins with difficulty under 10 (even 10 may be a bit low).  Essentially under this difficulty, we're fighting ourselves with orphans due to average block times, and network propagation rates (read: lower profitability). 

Our system does support mining multiple coins at once, but not at quite the fine-grained detail we would need to make these coins work, it was built to switch off like 25% of our hashrate to a coin, and leave the bulk on a larger coin, which was fine until now.  Now however, 25% of our hashrate is still way too much to put on a single coin.  So for the next couple days, while we get the switcher a bit more intelligent, we'll be mining some of the larger coins (10+ difficulty for now), which we'll lose out on a tiny bit of per-block profitability, but should win overall with the decrease in orphan blocks (read: higher profitability overall for now).

Past the switcher upgrades, we've almost finished setting up another stratum endpoint (singapore), and will let you know when that is up

And one last thing.  I've noticed some dips in worker counts, and it looks like certain groups of workers will be connected for a while, suddenly drop, and reconnect a second later.  I have some theories for what could cause this, but no hard data, as it is extremely difficulty to track down.  If anyone is seeing a reasonably consistent (and ideally time-based) disconnect/reconnect pattern on their miner(s).  Please email me (poolwaffle@gmail.com) with your miner's IP address, and which endpoint you're connected to, it would help me to track it down if I can watch a few specific miners that are experiencing the issue.

Any plans to implement say 10% of the hashrate being directed to X coin that has low difficulty but is super profitable compared to the bigger cions? Could have 10% on 3 diff coins and the other 70% on one of the bigger profitable coins (doge etc)?

Looks like a couple of days.

personally i like & love to eat waffles !

wafflepool you rock ! switched from MC (too slow & not much info) to CM (rejects are horrendous) & waffle is the best ! love the site response. really fast !

been around for sometime in bitcointalk but hardly post here but i couldn't resist ! joined waffle to grow. i'm sure this thread will go to the moon anytime soon.

directed 4.57 & 3.66 mhs rigs set to d=512 & d=256 (am i doing it right ?) & looking fwd to see some coins soon. very good replies from waffle especially support. 2 thumbs up !

Never had waffles before, are they as good as wafflepool?

hi guys!

ive mined on MC for the past few months, but the recent shenanigans have made me switch, so im excited to see how this pool performs.

is there any official or 3rd party site with graphs similar to those available from MC? i would love to be able to track my hashrate and stats over time in graphical format

[ampbuster]

Why is waffle pool mining dogecoin? The reward has already been halved and it's nowhere near profitable...

waffle disabled some coins tha was profitable..and now our profit decreased
please enable the disabled coins

[The Fat Miner]

5 hours of 2 Mh/s has earned 0.00225 , That's worse than what Middlecoin has been shafting me with,  And my rejects are blinding 0.58%, Efficiency 440% in CGWatcher , So something isn't right at all.

[oktay50000]

please enable fast coins , small coins

[amcdon]

Have you not been reading poolwaffle's responses? With the addition of the single miner with the huge hashrate, we can't mine small coins because our huge hashrate will result in almost all orphaned blocks. He is going to work on improving the multicoin mining feature of the pool, but until then it would be a waste of time to mine the small coins.

Test for longer then 5 hours before complaining?  Yeesh...

That said, something is weird PoolWaffle - half of my shares aren't being counted right now, started just after 18:01 server time.  Shares are still be submitted by all my rigs, but half aren't being counted by the site stats (it appears 2 rigs in particular probably aren't getting their shares counted).  I have seen this before once a few days ago, and had to restart the machines.  Everything is pointed to uswest, but my rigs are divided between two locations - the second location seem to be what isn't being counted right now.  I will leave them without rebooting for a bit, so you can maybe take a look.

worker names I suspect are not having their shares counted: phzi1, phzi2

I just saw the same problem, running on uswest server. Miners reported working fine, web stats showed zero work.

I restarted the miners and things look to be correct again.

Hi, newb question here, what time does wafflepool payout ? Thanks.

So what your saying is don't say anything but something is wrong lol, The reason I said what I did is because I know something isn't right, I should have at least double what I've got in the web stats.

[captainbluff]

I came from MC and due to recent issues, I wanted to try out other pools . So with Waflle, what are the advantages and disadvantages of defining difficulty?


Username: Your Bitcoin Address
Password: Any Password is acceptable
You can use one of the following as your password to set your miners difficulty (remove quotes):
"d=64", "d=128", "d=256", "d=512", "d=1024"

The Fat Miner: I doubt my current issue is the same as yours.  I could restart my rigs and would have 100% shares counted again, but restarting these rigs is a royal pain in the ass because they are at a remote location and sometimes they don't restart properly.  So, I'd rather lose hashing power for a bit and have poolwaffle figure out why this is happening.

Looks like it might be affecting our big miner as well?  Their hashrate just fell down to about half...

Edit: switched my rigs to useast after losing 40 minutes of shares...  hashrate climbing on the site again.

Well put it this way I had a quarter of my hash pointed at the site a few days ago and it was fine, Now since i switched all my power to this pool it's not reporting the amount of work I'm doing on the site, It might say 1.9 2.2 Mh/s in the stats but it's not giving the amount due, I know because I have a good idea of what it should be getting after watching my rig 24 7 (stuck in my room at the moment)  I have a good idea of what to expect.

What I have seen is that PoolWaffle has changed things because of the big rig, Seems to have shagged our profitability.

Looking good for me, no error on Europe server (or it's very rare), stable pool with VARDIFF and complete stats. Look forward, good job.

It is called variance...  Chill out and judge your stats on a weekly basis.  Even daily payouts won't be consistent.  If it shows your hashrate on the pool, then everything is working fine. Poolwaffle hasn't done anything because of the hashrate increase that would negatively impact profits in a big way.

it takes time for you to get to "steady state"

as in reach your equilibrium point where you are carrying a steady number of unexchanged and then more regular exchanging.

wait a day for things to equalize out.
