[POOL] Coinotron

[northcape]

My PPC balance exceeded the payout threshold  but no payout. By the way, how could I manually withdraw my PPC? Thanks.

Your overall balance (total rewards) or confirmed balance (confirmed rewards)? I’ve found that coinotron pays out very quick once the rewards are confirmed, but that takes quite some time.
PPC RBPPS requires 520 confirmations before the payout happens.

Yeah Im back for now. My only beef is that my hashrate varies so much, its around 3500 kh/s as reported by cgminer and reaper, and online at coinotron it varies from 3450 down to as low as 2600. Im guessing this has to do with lag or something, but I cant help the feeling that somehow Im losing efficiency here, even with stratum.

Im also having problems withdrawing my ppc, confirmed balance is way more than payout threshold and no payout has been done.

In fact, i hace never received a payout in ppc from this pool since im on it.

coinotron, how come my workers often show a speed of 0 on My Account even though I can obviously see them working on my side? 

Have you considered a FAQ on your site?  The Help page doesn't answer questions for those who are successfully connecting.

Miner knows exactly how many hashes it produces. Pool must estimate your hashrate by counting submitted works. Less works delivered in given time, more variance of estimated speed.

Sometimes you will see higher, sometimes lower values than those reported by your miner.

General rule: faster miners, more shares in given time , more accurate pool's estimates.

just joined this pool to mine LTC

GUIminer shows 3 accepted, 3 stale/invalid

my stats on the site show 0 speed, 0 shares , am i doing something wrong?

It takes time for the site to show updated hash rates/estimated rewards.

Maybe you are using BTC version of guiminer?

For LTC mining you should use special version: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150331.0

Or cgminer.

FYI

TRC pool is up and running.

PPS rewards are still disabled. If you select PPS worker, then all shares submitted by this worker will be accepted but rewarded in RBPPS mode.

EDIT
Payouts will be enabled as soon as we are sure that there is no risk of 51% attack
Payouts are enabled

Is there anything that can be done about the 520 required confirmations for PPC RBPPS?

It’s extremely annoying to have to wait so long, but 12% fees for PPS aren’t exactly acceptable either.

12% is just to encourage people to use RBPPS.
PPC blocks are confirmed by design after 520 conf. That imposes on pool operator need to create buffer for ca 400 000 PPC (520*800PPC)
You must agree that this is quite big figure. So I'm doing my best to decrease buffer size as much as I can.

That is quite frustrating too. Not a big figure, but I’d still like to make use of this pump and dump... but can’t.

We really need a manual payout button, or a way to lower the threshold.  I've got a small amount of LTC and BTC from using the pool as a backup that I can't pay out because it's under the threshold.

Even if the under threshold payments were only once every 24 hours that would be fine as long as I could get those amounts out.

[cdog]

I agree, 10 as the minimum needs to be revised. Its maybe ok if LTC is only worth a couple bucks, but what if it goes back to $5, or up to $10, or $20?

Is anyone else having a relatively large issue with rejected shares? Across three rigs mining LTC I'm getting from 4-6% rejects. I check on these rigs and see tons of stratum disconnects resulting in large amounts of lost shares. My other rigs mining on different pools, but using my same home network have no issues.

cannot get to the myaccount page.

false alarm. just shoddy coding on the website. log off and back on fixed it.

Yeah I'm having 5.5% rejects on both rigs with quite a few stratum disconnects.

Coinotron what is the issue here?

Nice to see I'm not alone. Losing those shares on a difficulty of 128 is much more painful than losing them on a 1 difficulty pool where my other rigs are mining.

EDIT: Testing another pool to see if it is something on my side. Also testing Coinotron without running the getwork / stratum proxy for LTCMine. I'm wondering if that is introducing latency?

[peacefulmind]

I have seen stales rise as the amount of total mH/s on this pool has risen.

My guess is they need new server or bandwidth?

Also the website is down or under SEVERE DDoS.

Can anyone reach them on the webs?
