[CLOSING DOWN] ScryptGuild Auto-Switching Pool

[Aureum_Coffee]

LTC auto convert should kick in next hour.  I was not expecting the pool to hit multiple LTC blocks so the balance on BTC-e was not topped up.

Is this causing these errors I am seeing?

How do I withdraw a small amount to empty the wallet?
0.00141962  I need to withdraw that amount.  When I set the auto withdrawl to .0001 it reverted to 0.
I am sure I am messing up some where.  I could not find the manual withdraw button.

Set it to 0.001 (not 0.0001).  0.00x auto payout thresholds trigger once per 24 hours.  0.0x+ trigger once per hour.  The full balance is paid when it triggers.

LTC auto convert should kick in next hour.  I was not expecting the pool to hit multiple LTC blocks so the balance on BTC-e was not topped up.

I have absolutely no idea what that is, but it's unrelated.

Thanks I appreciate it.

I would be fine with going to switching between just LTC and Doge, like what will eventually happen.

I could agree if the pool has enough hash power to find at least one block at hour, but looking at the statistics, one block a day or less (the 25 was an extremely lucky day with 3 blocks) means that most of the power used to find LTC is wasted. Hopefully when the BTC Guild merge is done the situation will change.

What I don't understand is why it switches to LTC now with 1/3 less hash power and was not before, and only since few days, so something is changed.

LTC auto convert should kick in next hour.  I was not expecting the pool to hit multiple LTC blocks so the balance on BTC-e was not topped up.

I think it still doesn't work, I don't have much LTCs but, if my calculations are not wrong, should be enough to trigger the per-hour conversion.

Either the value of LTC mining went up (diff/price ratio), or the value of all the other alt coins went down to the point the penalty on LTC still makes it worth mining.  DOGE difficulty is very spiky because of their terrible implementation of a faster adjusting difficulty as a response to multipools.  We generally fell back to WDC and/or ANC (and other random coins in between) whenever DOGE difficulty spiked.

I think it still doesn't work, I don't have much LTCs but, if my calculations are not wrong, should be enough to trigger the per-hour conversion.

The exchange has been refilled again, but my guess is you have a reserve set on LTC, or actually don't have enough to warrant an hourly auto conversion (or have it disabled).  Earlier today an auto convert for > 100 LTC was run.  The auto convert will only run if it can clear all applicable user balances in a single run.

[dimfot]

when is the merge with btc guild is going to happen? are you still going to use same coin list?

[BrandonMcPherson]

dimfot, Eleuthria has mentioned that he wants to start the move in mid-May. The list of coins will be pared to Doge and LTC.

[eleuthria]

The hardware has already been ordered and is being shipped to the BTC Guild colo, hopefully arriving by May 5th.  The goal is that BTC Guild's scrypt mining will be enabled on May 9th.  When that happens, there will be a notice on the ScryptGuild website advising users to move to BTC Guild, though the site will remain online for ~6 weeks.

May 10th - ScryptGuild will continue to operate normally, BTC Guild will begin doing DOGE and LTC mining (with switching between the two available).  Registrations disabled on ScryptGuild.  2% fee added.
May 15th - Auto convert disabled on ScryptGuild.  Automatic mining disabled on all coins except LTC+DOGE.  ScryptGuild fee increased to 10% to get people to move to the proper servers (BTC Guild).
May 20th - ScryptGuild pool server closed.
June 10th - ScryptGuild closed.

The exact dates may be moved, but that's the rough timeline.

Hey eleuthria, we are having some major problems with our chain due to multipool hop and KGW Bug that has yet been fixed in our code.
Is there any way to halt casinocoin mining on scryptguild. If you view the chain you will see the problems.

Or seeing as it will be removed eventually can you do so now?

Is for that reason that CSC are not converting ?

[guytechie]

Whoa, look at the huge bump in hashrate!

Exact reason, BlockChain will freeze when there is a jump from 0.3 - 8 in a matter of 1 block.

Anyone else having payout issues?
The payout amount does not work
all the time even though it is above
the minimum limit.

What coin and what payout threshold did you set?  Payouts have been functioning properly.  0.01+ thresholds payout hourly.  0.00x thresholds payout once per day.  Alternatively:  Make sure you actually confirmed your wallet addresses.

I've applied a penalty to CSC for the time being so the pool will not touch it as frequently.

BTC and my BTC was within the correct amount but nothing happened. I changed the payout amount when
I saw that I would not make the quota on my previous setting. This has happened more than once.

BTC payouts have been working fine.  They have not failed to go out.  0.0x+ goes out 30 minutes after the hour.  0.00x goes out ~30 minutes after midnight server time.

On 4/30 at midnight it did not work for me and at least 1 other time previously it did not work. Last nights worked fine.

What should we do if we have less than 0.001 on Scryptguild when the switch is made?

Will it automatically sent out?

For BTC, I will adjust the payout threshold to 0.0001 for all users when mining is closed on ScryptGuild.  It will deduct 0.0001 from your payout in order to cover the txfee if you do not have > 0.001.
