OOO he says Professional..   Whats part of bitcoin is that?  

3 years of experience running mining pools, 2.5 years running one of the top 3 (holding top spot for almost a full year) mining pools, and 2 of those years where my sole source of income was from it.  Custom backends, frontends, and DB schema rather than some github pool-in-a-box.

You know we are just messing with you.  Keep up the good work.

recently set all my rigs here, once automatic LTC conversion is enabled and more ppl start to trickle in this will be the premier pool.  With OP's background this thing can go the distance.

A minor update since technically it's a new day:  I held off on adding new coins today, in order to make sure everything is continuing to operate smoothly with auto conversion.  I have multiple new coins sync'd up with their blockchains ready to add  tomorrow (or today, depending on what you consider 12:30 AM.  I personally call it "tomorrow" if I haven't gone to bed yet).  I am NOT adding Auroracoin.  The difficulty is obscenely high for our pool speed, and I simply despise any coin with the audacity to have a 50% premine.

In case anyone is wondering if they should join, over 97 shifts I've averaged 0.0004169 btc per shift per Mhps, or about 0.0100 btc / Mhps per day (with a little downtime in a couple of the shifts).

We were quite a bit above 0.01 for a few days.  Yesterday (well, ~36 hours ago to ~12 hours ago) was pretty harsh.  Very few Dogecoin/Litecoin blocks even though a lot of hashes were being directed that way.  Pool simply needs more speed to reduce the variance when the most profitable coins are the ones running at a high difficulty.

Hi, I noticed that the pool is doing FRY, but it is not on the dashboard and I cannot see any rewards for it. It is reported in found blocks in the PPLNS section(when you hover the mouse over details button) but not in pool shares or my shares. Are we working on it or no?

[edit]
O.k. found out myself.
It is there only if someone deliberately mines them, it`s not profitable. Pointed one of my workers there and now have some in balance.

Any chance of having another port apart from 3333?

Thanks

OK,  being an old btcguild user, I was quite happy when I saw this... just pointed my miners your way...    The first thing I noticed..I'm getting almost 10% stales...  is this to be expected?  Over on wafflepool I was getting under 2 percent...

Going to stick with it for a couple days to see how it is profit-wise even with the stales... just wondering if everyone else is seeing the same?

Thanks,
Sigg.

Edit:  I just checked ping times and I'm averaging about 47ms.  So I don't think network is a significant factor in the stales...   Also getting about the same rate on both my linux and Win7 boxes.

If you run your miners on a very high intensity, you can see very large amounts of stales, especially when the pool is pointed towards coins that a lot of multipools are on, or very low diff coins.  Wafflepool lately has been on Auroracoin a lot lately, which has 10 minute block times.  ScryptGuild on the other hand is bouncing between much lower difficulty coins because Auroracoin is simply too high difficulty to bother with at current pool speed (people would bitch about 6 hours without any blocks).

ScryptGuild's profit algorithm already takes stale rates from low difficulty coins into account when evaluating which coin to move to.  However, 10% is *WAY* above normal.  If you don't run at high intensity, the stale rates are ~1% on my 90-100ms ping (with spikes due to being on wireless).  Intensity will cause stales because it means your GPUs are running larger batches of work before allowing an interrupt for a new block notification.

All jokes aside, where does Feathercoin stand?

It's one of the next on the list.  I'll probably be adding at least 3-4 more coins this weekend, along with getting the integration with BTC-e's API so auto-convert can work for LTC.

I'm averaging well under 1% stales, using I=13.

Is that FRY?  Someone asked a good question earlier, why do we apparently have FRY blocks, but no FRY listing?

EDIT: To clarify... FRY is in the pool speed drop down.  It's in the block statistics.  It's in the wallet listing.  Yet it's not on the dashboard or BTC conversion screens.

Hmm... I didn't notice that until you pointed it out.

FRY is not Feathercoin.  Feathercoin is FTC.

Sorry if this is a silly question. How to Payouts work? Is it like other multipools where it auto pays after .01 and any balances over .001 are paid on Sundays? Can you manually cash out? Thanks for your help!

You set your own pay out amount.
