AltCoinsPool.com - Back soon!

Im gonna try this out

We certainly appreciate it Magnus.

We did a LOT of work over the past 14 hours on the profitability algorithm and we're now in the testing phase of those changes. Past 9 hours haven't been that profitable due to a setting that was set too high. That's now more aggressive so let's see how we go over the next 8 hours.

Also, I fixed a bug with the user stats page about 10 hours ago. It should now only show a value of 0 if you only JUST started mining, if there is nothing in BTC at the combined exchanges yet, or immediately after we prepare the payout.

Good work!

-What coins / how many are beeing switched between? Any juicy details really.

You're right, I'm sorry. Juicy details are the awesome!

Here is a list that we are running with this very instant. This is obviously changing as we test!

You made some improvements today, congrats!

You made some improvements today, congrats!

Thanks for that mate. You are right. We managed our best profits today since the public beta but there's still some way to go. That broken OrbitCoin mining yesterday was a real kick to the guts so I'm glad we were able to recover today.

We're also working on adding yet another exchange (or two, depending) to our pool over the next day or so. That should hopefully significantly speed up the time to convert our coins to BTC.

Until then, stay cool (or warm, depending on where on earth you live). I'll keep everyone here posted.

How did you go ?

How much pool fee and what reward system pool use?
And how to point miner to your pool?

Hi Mate,

We use a custom implementation of PPLNS. Basically, you get rewarded for every accepted share you submit! (so we don't care about pool hoppers, they hardly affect us and in some ways, benefit us).

The pool fee is only 2% and the difference between us and other pools is that, we only take what we announce publicly. I.e, ONLY 2%!

The payout estimates are calculated every 10 minutes, based on what BTC we have and how many valid shares there are in our DB so you can keep an eye on your mining profitability as you mine!

We're still ironing out some bugs and working on our profitability in order to get the most for our members but we just had a great 24 hours and will try to keep things going in that direction.

Hi Hostmaster

For the moment, we only have our main cloud here in Sydney Australia. We are hosting our highly available servers in GlobalSwitch Sydney which is one of the largest, most advanced data-centres in the southern hemisphere.

Hopefully, once we move on from our public BETA (or perhaps sooner), we plan on adding additional proxies internationally to help with latency to our distant users such as yourself.

Did you have a go at mining at all? Did the latency to your location cause you any issues? Would you care to disclose your country so that I can look at adding a reverse proxy sooner?

I just setup a new proxy to the Sydney server which should give you a great deal of improvement with regards to the network latency;

Could you please test mining to eu.altcoinspool.com:3333 ?

Would you please let me know the results of your test ? This is just a proof of concept but if it works, we should have global servers online by the end of this week

Thanks.

[altcoinspool]

If anyone in the US would like to help test, I just added a US proxy in SF.

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us1.altcoinspool.com:3333 -u [your bitcoin address] -p x

[altcoinspool]

Half the work required to provide a daily Mhash/BTC profitability report has now been completed.

We are planning on adding one more exchange today / tomorrow and completing this profitability report before announcing an all out go live!

Thanks again to all those who have helped us test!

[altcoinspool]

BTC/Mhash/24hr stats collection scripts are now working and we have our first reading from yesterday.

The graph should be available online on the front page after 2 more readings (48 hours).

We are having some fun with the Testing phase so we're having a Franko day today (1 full day of single coin mining will not happen after go live). So the rest of today will be dedicated to mining only Franko The autoswitcher has been disabled until payout happens tonight.

[altcoinspool]

New users joining just for FrankoDay This is fun!

Remember, we have EU and US servers so international miners are welcome

[altcoinspool]

FrankoDay will be over in just a couple hours when we will re-enable to autoswitcher. Today was fun to say the least and I thank everyone who joined in!

I'll update you all again once the autoswitcher (we should give it a name) is back on.

[altcoinspool]

And that marks the end of our first and only full day of deliberate single coin mining.. a big thank you to everyone who participated!

The Autoswitcher has been enabled so let's see some shiny golden bits!
