[CLOSING DOWN] ScryptGuild Auto-Switching Pool

[sbfree]

throwing my 7.5MH/s at scryptguild now.....we need more juice!!

[balanghai]

Any hint how much BTC/Mh/s do we have here?

[droptable]

Whohaaaa, we found a LTC-block today 

[therobber]

also switched to this pool only 1 mh/s but every hash counts

so far so good.

the android app is also working as expected

Scaling up from my own results, I'd guess somewhere around 0.007-0.0075 BTC/Mh/s, but that is pretty rough.

You guys with high rejects need to look into running sgminer 4.1 via windows or BAMT.  If you run g 2 with xintensity it will cut your stales in half.
Edit: across my rigs, I have 0.7% stales.

I run sgminer 4.1 on windows with xint (111 = -i 18~) and R9 290 doesn't work well with -g 2.

Don't post a reply based on false assumptions next time.

Frankly at this point if you aren't using sgminer you are mining wrong.

Not that it applies to me, but this is pure bullshit.

Well you're assumption must be false then also.  I run two 290x with g 2 and it beats, hands down by far, my g 1 xintensity and regular intensity settings.  And my stales are 1/2 the g1 to boot.

Enjoy your less than optimal setup.

Pretty rough indeed - that's 604 BTC per Mhps per day !

Awesome!  Thanks for giving it a shot.  Let me know if you have any suggestions!

OT - The forum has just thrown up a banner ad for "ponzicoin.co".  Now is it just me, or is that a bad choice of name for somebody trying to gain trust?

Thanks for the great pool

The only issue I have had is my WDC stopped auto converting to BTC a few rounds back.  I have verified all my account setting and my WDC should be auto converting but it isnt

Thanks again for great pool

WDC doesn't seem to convert as often as the others.  Maybe a cryptsy API issue?

Also, I got an EAC payout for no reason whatsoever.  It's been auto converting for days now.  Just like the two MOON payouts I got for no reason a day or two ago.

It pays returns based on new people coming in... What would you have them call it?

Neither API nor dash`board are recognising any worker data

API: {"worker_stats":[0],"error":null}
dashboard: "Worker summary" table is empty

However my shares seem to be accepted by the pool. As I mentioned before it's not a big problem but I've added a couple more miners tonight and I don't know if I've set them up properly. Any ideas?

Did you hide toggle off the visibility of your workers on the management page?

[eleuthria]

I did include in my calculation the reject rate I got here and what I usually get on other pools (in CM and SG I get 5%~ reject with -i 18, 3%~ on hashcows and MC and 0-0.3% on Waffle).

Just going to let you know one thing:  If you see 0-0.3% on Waffle, they are probably lying to you on Stales by marking stale shares as valid (which doesn't impact earnings at all on a non-PPS payment method, since everybody is getting lied to, and it actually benefits people with bad setups over people with proper setups).  This was a very common activity on Bitcoin pools in the getwork days to make people think they were performing better than competition.  The only way you'd get 0-0.3% is if they are 100% on Auroracoin and Litecoin, and even then it's EXTREMELY unlikely unless you're running low intensity and have a basically direct connection to the pool.


0.3% reject rate is literally impossible to achieve on an Scrypt pool on high block rate coins due to how intensity works and the frequency of blocks.  If the pool is outright excluding low difficulty coins, they are not making you as much money as they could just for the sake of prettier stats.  As stated previously, ScryptGuild applies heavy penalties to low difficulty coins, fully expecting a big spike in stales when it mines them.  Getting a 5-9% stale on a coin which has been penalized 10% for it's low difficulty still makes it more profitable than the alternatives.

The pool is now automatically refilling its balances on Cryptsy on a regular basis.  This will prevent certain coins from piling up overnight (WDC has been the biggest culprit) without automatically converting.

I'm averaging 0.6% right now here.

EDIT: just redid the math, at 0.714% right now.

I can only assume you're running at a lower intensity (or running on ASICs).  You can probably squeeze more speed out of your cards.  In general, a  2-3% stale rate is worth it because you'll get a 5-10% increase in speed.

ScryptGuild Android app is now searchable on the Google Play store.  Just search for "Scryptguild" and it should pull it up.   Enjoy!

Idle Warning emails are now functioning properly.  Every 5 minutes the pool checks for any workers which have gone beyond their idle warning threshold and shoots out an email to notify the user.  It bundles multiple notifications into a single email if multiple workers all went idle at the same time.  Only one email is triggered per idle event, meaning you won't receive additional notifications until your worker has become active again.

A question, has anyone figured out whether mining these coins with GPUs and then converting the result to Bitcoin makes any more than mining Bitcoin directly with the GPUs? Just curious.

I totally get the Hobby aspect of all this. I can see that doing this can be fun. I'm just curious as to if there is a hidden benefit.
