[ANN][POOL][PROFIT-SHIFT] Coinshift.com, the first profit-shifting multipool

[Coinshift]

Been mining here for a few days now with 510kH/s, but I'm getting a very high difficulty since the past two days. My hash rate graph jumps up and down from 200 to 1000kH/s. Any plans to implement manual diff adjustment? (like -u BTCaddress.worker+difficulty as on P2Pool?)

What's your address? I'll check on yours specifically.
Ideally you wouldn't have to do anything manually and vardiff would take care of everything. Our VARDIFF target is 1 share every 25 seconds, which over the course of the day should result in very low variance (60*60*24/25 = 3456 shares per day).

If yours variance is bad, we could consider lowering the vardiff target or adding manual difficulty adjustment.

Some updates:

We resolved all the problems with rejects earlier this week. Reject rates have been very low now for a few days.

We added two more coins today, FLAP and HNK. We'll be adding more this week.

Our main focus right now is keeping profitability up, but the altcoin market is really sagging. Profit-switching is really killing the market, but we don't think we were too late. Come join us and let's balance out the hashrate!

when using stratum-mining-proxy, all my BTC addresses result in "Invalid payout address".
i use mining_proxy.py with options "-cu <btcaddress> -cp x"

edit:
sirs, my apologies;  it turns out that pooler's version of stratum-mining-proxy fails, but the slush's does not.
case closed.

Can you reply with or PM me the address you're trying with?

Thanks for looking into this. I'm seeing more like 1 share per 1-2 minutes. I've sent you a PM with my mining address.

You're right, you're submitting once per 60 seconds. We'll deploy an update today/tonight that will fix that.

Thanks for the report!

Profitability just spiked! Did we score a few DOGE blocks?

[Coinshift]

Yep we hit a DOGE block!

[Coinshift]

We pushed an update last night that resolved the issue that justme27 reported. If you got a string of quick shares and VARDIFF pushed you up a tier, it would never let you back down. We can also consider lowering the target share time to 20 if people still think that's a problem.

Please keep up the feedback, it really helps us improve the pool!

With last night's update we also added some more secret sauce that should improve profitability. We'll also be adding two more coins later today.

Happy mining!

It feels fishy... Is profitability really at 0.00722/BTC per MH/s while Clever's is at 0.00590?

I'm wondering too. Admin announced that they had some secret improvements last night.

It went up right after they hit a Doge block.

I see it's been fixed, thanks! Share rate is steady now and the hash rate graph starts to make some sense

My counter is at .0032BTC confirmed since the last payout (< 20h ago), with about 500KH/s. So that seems pretty accurate.

if they got that result with just a block of doge, what will happen with a lot of doge/ltc blocks

seems really interesting

We did hit a very lucky doge block without investing much hashrate towards it last night, so the performance will appear elevated until that passes the 24 hour threshold. The graph and that number are real, but remember that the graph shows performance over the *last* 24 hours and isn't a predictor for the next 24 hours (I expect we'll continue to perform on par with the other pools).

I'm sure someone who's been mining over the last 24 hours can confirm. Also you can see the block exchange in the detailed stats view. We try to be transparent about these things.

In other news, we just added an API for retrieving individual user stats: http://coinshift.com/api/
We hope someone makes some cool stuff with that! Forum sigs, anyone?

[boxofspuds]

any one else not really seeing the similar performance #s to the ones listed for trailing 24 hours?

i'm willing to give this pool some more time, but as of now (~17.5 hours in) I'm only getting about .0057/.0058 btc/mhash/day across 2 different rigs and not the roughly .007 as listed on the stats page.  I included payouts, confirmed exchanged and estimated unexchanged in my calculations

I'll check back in a few hours once my full day comes around.  I really want to believe in this pool since it is doing what a lot of the other pools should have been doing in the first place.

Would it be possible to represent profitability with additional details beyond trailing 24 hours only?  Maybe break it down hourly for the past N hours or something?  Does the  API support that time granularity or is it only on 24 hr ranges?

[CoinBuzz]

I'm mining for 14.5 hours (Since last night) yielded me about 0.00432, thats about 0.00719 in calculation.

Lets see what will happen in the coming 24hours
