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

[TransAtlantic]

Same here.. address not found on webpage.
Miners hashing.. but are hashes being counted??

mmmm doubtful, better switch to backup pool until we heard from admin, just in case

[EDIT] Site now says:
Our primary database is having some issues, we're working on fixing it asap. Mining disabled for now to avoid losing work

so it was a db issue, good to know they are working on it

Wafflepool is down since 2 days now, and no news from WP. 

I hope nothing bad has happened to WP so that he can't be with us now.

I would be sad to see Wafflepool go away - it was one of the best and most stable pools, IMO.

All that being said, the altcoin market and mining landscape are pretty bleak now, being unprofitable and below running costs for most miners, so with the users going away and the hashrate of most pools declining (please correct me if I am wrong here), I guess that the interest from pool operators to maintain their pools - which is a lot of work, for a smaller and smaller income as well - is also slowly going away.

I'm sorry if that's the end for Wafflepool, but I send my great thanks and kudos to WP for all the good work he's done on this pool.  Admirable.

Game Over?

Lost my 0.01 for the 24 hours mining . Lets move on.

I'm still working on recovering the database.  Unfortunately very important files were corrupted (earnings essentially), and our backups aren't up to date enough (read: a few hours too early) to recover enough data from them for another payout to be processed.

Ideally we'll be able to recover almost everything, but its a very ugly process to dig through...

Consider the extra coins for those couple of hours a tip as far as I am concerned. Much rather be mining on waffle then my alternate pool.

Are you counting rewards for each individual miner on a abacus or a calculator? 

No offence.  Hope you manage to solve the problem soon and start the pool again.

Meh Some lost of coins I'm not worried. Heck start a fresh database and get it up and running all I really care.

Shit happens.  Databases sometimes get corrupted, and backups sometimes don't run as supposed.  Not the first time, and certainly not the last.

I'm not worried about that little loss, and it certainly is very minimal when looking at the bigger picture, namely the very stable and reliable pool you've provided for a long time (a small eternity in crypto-time, actually).

There certainly will be trolls screaming/crying they lost their hard-earned 0.001 or 0.002 BTC for the day, without realizing how much you've helped them to earn in the last X months before.  Please don't listen too much to these trolls.

Well there are a few of us who have no gotten a payout. I was using a low-end GPU on X11, so I only made about .0001 BTC for about 1.5 weeks of work. Just got a Zeus Scrypt miner hoping to get some higher speed so I could make payouts at least weekly, but haven't really been able to use it yet.

PLEASE!!! Just launch wafflepool as soon as possible! I don't even need my lost payout (about 0.1btc) I just want to continue my mining process, because for those days while waffle stays broken i've already lost much more profit than 0.1btc!

So let me get this straight, because the pool is down you're not mining?  There are dozens of other profit switching pools out there!!!  I really liked Wafflepool, but it goes down I switch to another pool!!!

I'm mine! I'm not such a idiot, but my profit is low on other pools i don't know why

the best dogecoin pool

Did you just sign up doing ref spam?

So let me get this straight, because the pool is down you're not mining?  There are dozens of other profit switching pools out there!!!  I really liked Wafflepool, but it goes down I switch to another pool!!!

So, are there any other X11 multi-coin --> bitcoin pools out there? I know about the darkcoin specific pools, (and use some for backup) but are there any other Waffle like X11 pools?  Clever is Script only as far as I know which is no longer viable for GPU miners and many of the other multipools are gone or dead like Hashcows (or might as well be).

Already starting to gather some gear to transform former mining gear into some nice triple and quad crossfire gaming boxes for Elite:Dangerous and Star Citizen.... but would like to squeeze the last bits of mining I can out of the old workhorses before I shift them over to space simulator duty.

You might try and point you miners to NiceHash multialgo pool and use X11, X15, NeoScrypt and Lyra2RE algos (all energy efficient)... https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=multialgo#finetuning

Yes, there are. But it's not fair to promote other pools in the wafflepool thread. Simply check out the altcoins pools section, I'm sure you will find what you are looking for.

I don't think you want people promoting other pools in your thread?

Not usually... but please read the quotes that people are asking and answering.  If Wafflepool is down (and it is and will most likely be down for awhile it seems) and we're looking for viable backups other than the usual single-coin pools, it's a valid question even in this thread.

You can find many out there, just digging it.
In my personal opinion, even wafflepool is not the best but she actually few of the best as i have try many of them already.
