A suggestion: Would it be possible to have payouts _less_ often? Yes, I am asking for less often. Currently, I can see up to 7 payouts per 24 hours, and that feels useless to me - it is only adding extra fees when those coins will need to be spent in any relatively big amount. I would be very happy with payouts only once per day, it would make things much easier (and cheaper). And for those who feel they cannot trust yaamp for keeping the coins that long - well you are already trusting yaamp to give you the correct amount of coins for the shares submitted, without having any way to verify that. So if you do not really trust yaamp, then why are you mining here?  And if 24 hours of coins represent an amount soooo big that you cannot bear even the thought of loosing it, then I think you should really have your own pool or mine solo.  |

The fees I was referring to were the transaction fees for _spending_ the coins received at some point in the future (e.g. after having received, let's say small 120 payments from yaamp over a month, if there is 4 payments per day), because the spending transaction will be huge in terms of KBytes. If someone has a huge hashrate pointed at yaamp, that is insignificant (since one receives significant payouts), but if someone has only a small hashrate, the amounts received 4 (or before 8 ) times per day are very small. It is not quite dust, but not too far from it. Said otherwise: I would prefer to receive 0.004 BTC once per day than to receive 0.001 BTC 4 times per day. It just seems more efficient to me. I was used to the times (long gone) were payments would be sent every few days. I wasn't worried if payments weren't received every 3 hours. Though I agree, as you pointed out chrysophylax, that if you are a trader, you probably would want your different altcoins as quickly as possible. I didn't thought about that aspect. And thanks for reducing the number of payouts, yaamp. |

And thanks for reducing the number of payouts, yaamp. i suppose when dealing with smaller quantities of bct - that would make more sense - so in that instance every day or few days would make sense ... when you are accruing larger sums while mining - it makes sense to have them away from the mining site and into either your wallets or in the exchanges ... why dont we have a choice in payment schedules? ... that pretty much makes more sense doesnt it? ... even if it is just a choice in the payout schedules that yaamp could provide - like 4 times a day or 8 times a day or once a day ... would that be an idea that could be implemented? ... #crysx |

Plz check; AUgxTKioVHBBx8YgoBS7pzApnn3vko2BAV, should be AMBER not Acoin, & I used p=AMBER.
Same for; DCussmHgLp3CVMP7QaL96h8Aix57qK6Nkz, should be DGB not UNO.
Thank you
Hello, You need to use "-p c=AMBER" that should fix it |

Thanks for that explanation, the fee structure always puzzled me. I don't disagree with your attempts to discourage overmining small coins by creating disincentives but I don't think a fee (that I assume goes to yaamp) is the correct way. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to redistribute the disincentive fee to other coins/algos as an incentive to mine those more? Putting an 8% fee in your pocket seems like profiteering. Thank you for factoring out rentals from the fee formula and good job getting the site back up. Do you intend to bring back some of the other algos/coins or are you going to keep the pool smaller? Your site states a fee for auto-exchanging to BTC. Does this fee apply to auto-exchanges to other coins or just BTC? Thanks and keep up the good work. |

I think a name in red means they are short of that coin for payouts, at least that's what pops up when I hover over it. I've also seen the block number in red, don't know what that means other that it's probably not a good thing. |

At least it doesn't mean it's no good anymore. Gotta mine something else. Darn! |

Thanks and keep up the good work. agreed ... and a great idea mate ... a redistribute back to the coin itself ... but i couldnt see how that could be done unless yaamp donates it back somehow - via faucet or similar ... if that is the case - please connect bleutrade to your exchange list ( for auto-exchange ) and add granitecoin to the list of minable and exchangable coins ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=718939 ) ... we have been working hard and long to make grn stable and solid for a while now - which has been slow but successful ... designed as a miners coin under x11 algo - its perfect for such an application and pool as yaamp ... thats my 7 btc worth ... #crysx |

Quick comparison of Quark prices: YAAMP 0.42BTC/GH/day, NiceHash 0.61/GH/day. Since people who rent on Nicehash are certainly not throwing their BTC away, that must mean there is a Quark coin out there with a much better profitability than the 3 coins YAAMP is mining. I have no idea which one it is, but I read Sharkcoin is currently making a killing on chinese markets. Probably another pump&dump since the coin has nothing exceptional, but it might be worthwhile to add it to YAAMP. Or maybe it is another coin that we need to find. Looks like I'm going to spend my day in the ANN forum, If I'm not back in a day, please send some food |

Still better than YAAMP, I know, but it looks like whatever coin(s) they are mining that YAAMP isn't, may indeed be P&D's, as you stated. |

where have you been guys ?
it is Sharkcoin, soon a month of that, not plainly P&D, it's elaborate
Yup, looks like it. I haven't found any other Quark coin that could explain these prices. So YAAMP, how about adding Sharkcoin to the pool? Although exchanging it might be tricky. Seems it can only be exchanged on one Chinese exchange... |

Hey...not sure when it started but is anyone else having connection issues? I'm getting the, not so good, 'stratum_recv_line failed' error and need to find out if it's on my end or there's.

My miners have been down for a bit due to constant cycling through "stratum_recv_line failed" as well. It's not just you. |
