[OFFLINE] SIMPLECOIN.US [PPLNS/SMPPS]

[hmblm1245]

Hi.
I used simplecoin.us for a while, but I don't satisfied how my BTC and NMC counters works. 9 days I had only "Estimate" growing, while mining of course, but apropriate "Unconfirmed" and "Balance" was 0 all the time. And only yesterday I notice some estimate->unconfirmed->balance movement.
Now I have 5 NMC and 5 BTC in "Estimate" column slowly decreasing (I have turned off mining with simplecoin) and again all counters in "Unconfirmed" column are 0. I just want instant payout. What should I do?
Sorry for my English.

You may want to PM simplecoin your username and what pool you are mining in (SMPS, PPLNS, BTCPOP) so he can see the logs. This sounds normal due to the high spike in hashes the past couple of days.

I'd say a 5 minute break and some compressed air were in order...but why mess with a good thing

thanks for the block!

168 hours a week and 5 minutes break time. Does this violate any OSHA rules?

None of the pools are "Instant Payout", for that you want a PPS pool. All simplecoin pools are paid once a block is confirmed. Your contribution to that block is paid according to the pool type you selected based on the calculations on the pool home page. Once a block is confirmed for your pool, you can instantly payout. This is still a small pool and blocks are not found as often as on mega-pools. That said, though fewer payouts are found, your payout over time should be the same as anywhere else.

I would really suggest combining pools; breaking them out like that is confusing and odd, especially when you're only running at ~25GH/s total.

I'm going to be creating some accounts on your site and moving some over this weekend; will a ~20GH/s spike kill you? I don't want to screw up your pool, but I'm experimenting right now and want to try more merged mining.

i hope not in the past he has stated that the pool can scale to deepbit size and we have been at 150 - 200 for a week or so in past.

[Hotdog453]

Okay, cool. Yeah, I figured most pools will scale pretty damn well, it's not like there's a "small pool" and "large pool" software package out there.

[Hotdog453]

One suggestion: I suggest changing the password reset feature to NOT show your email address if you forget your password, like I just did The reset function works fine, but showing an email address like that could be viewed as a security risk/exposing your email address to the world kind of thing.

Ok, but why NMC/BTC I mined with simplecoin do not travel from "Estimate" to "Unconfirmed" such a long time? 9 days. Isn't it too long?

Which pool? Prop hasn't seen a block since the 3rd due to low hashrate. SMPPS has also been over a week.

Actually I don't sure. Now on my "Account details" page I see PPLNS for one and Proportional for another worker. But when I played with it, I was getting an error saying something about authorization PIN: it is no "Authorize Pin:" textbox in "Workers" section like in other sections, so I just leave it as I told and wanted to see if some difference will happen. But no, no differences happen.
Now my NMC and BTC counters continue to decrease, so please, could you for example freeze it somehow?

[simplecoin]

No, I cannot freeze the estimate. Especially if you aren't participating in the pool. The estimate should drop as the number of shares for the block increases without you adding your own.

The estimate is not an earned balance, unconfirmed is not an earned balance (although it's close with smpps). The balance is the only real balance.

[49er]

Could you add the current pool debt/balance to the list of pool stats for your SMPPS stats page?

I'd like to join but I don't want to blindly join a pool of this size without knowing it isn't in deep debt.

I did, just a page or two ago There was a buffer of 48btc, but I think it's closer to even now. It tends to sit very near even. The best/worst is +/- 200btc.

[49er]

Thanks.  It does seem to be a frequent question, any chance of getting that added to the public stat page?

It's possible. I'm going to make some changes and add a poll for the consolidation of mm pools..... Once I have that figured out, I'll be making quite a few changes.

Ok, but I still do not understand why I got only ~2 coins of 12 while mining with simplecoin.us for a 9 days. Shares are increasing, my estimate balance is decreasing (quite fast I should say), but I got no income. What the sense?
As I understand, you think it is all ok with that? Should I just wait when balance will decrease to 0 and say "All right, guys, I'm finished."?
Is it some kind of table with such data like hashrate and interest-bearing deposit for each account?

This has been addressed several times in this thread. Your estimate is based on your shares in the current round. It will increase/decrease based on your participation and overall pool hashrate. Your reward calculation is simple and based on your % of shares in the round (or flat amount in smpps), the exact calculation is posted on the homepage of simplecoin.us. The math and calculations are solid and do not change.

Also, I have noted the removal of Proportional BTC/NMC/TBX/GG starting Feb 1, 2012. Please clear any TBX/GG Balances before that date to make the transition easier.

I like it. till the pool reaches a nice 400+ i say one option for mm and LTC as the cpu miner.

On a side nitpicky note. Can you add a way to filter the workers in the account details page so i can organize them by name, hash, pool type...etc. Its not a big deal just a thought.

[simplecoin]

Since I've received concerns from Prop pool users. The pool will close AFTER the next block is found, not on a set date.
