[ANN] The First Litecoin PPS Pool (litecoinpool.org)

[Wolf_Tech]

Not me I'm in montreal but the apt I live in power is included. Also my miners the L3+ only run at 650 watts at full 500 mh/s. I reprogrammed the boards and the firmware.

[Wolf_Tech]

But PPS droped to 105% today. which sucks.

[yvcea]

Why did it get down to 105%?

[pooler]

Why did it get down to 105%?

Same reason as always: the relative profitability of merge-mined chains changed.

How and when does the PPS ratio change?
The PPS ratio depends on factors such as the current network difficulty and market price of merged-mined cryptocurrencies. Since these elements can be highly volatile, the ratio can change at any time.

Hi,

May you take a look on my stale shares and let me know if am I ok with those numbers?

Your stale rate on 2018-11-03 was abnormally high, but from the pool's side it's hard to tell why. What I can say is that this probably wasn't a pool issue, as other users did not experience an increased stale rate. It is possible that there was some temporary network issue on that day causing increased latency between your miners and the pool's servers. Another possible cause, depending on how your hardware is configured, is overclocking, which generally makes a miner's output more unpredictable.

hi

it seems that regardless of diff, litecoinpool will adjust the PPS accordingly so basically we are always earning the same, if diff goes down, more blocks are found, yet we are being paid the same, and thats not to mention the doge blocks that litecoinpool get.

why is the PPS constantly being lowered?

its totally unacceptable!

[pooler]

it seems that regardless of diff, litecoinpool will adjust the PPS accordingly so basically we are always earning the same, if diff goes down, more blocks are found, yet we are being paid the same,

It is crucial to understand that the PPS ratio depends on the relative profitability of the chains that are being merge-mined (i.e. Dogecoin, Viacoin, etc.).
The decision to increase or decrease the PPS ratio is never based on the Litecoin network difficulty going up or down, simply because this difficulty determines the profitability of Litecoin, but not that of the merged chains.
The factors that do determine the PPS ratio are the relative market prices of the merge-mined cryptocurrencies, and the relative difficulty of their networks. The word "relative" is key here. To make an example, if Litecoin's difficulty makes a jump in either direction and the other networks follow suit, the relative profitability of merged mining does not change.
At the moment, the main factor driving the PPS ratio down is the price of Dogecoin (relative to Litecoin), which has been dropping steadily since September.

PPS ratio apart, the actual statistics don't match your claim that the payouts always stay the same. One month ago, when the difficulty was 9054556 and the ratio was 107%, the PPS rate was 4.50792x10^-11 LTC/share; today, the difficulty is 8068443 and the ratio is 104%, and the PPS rate is 4.91704x10^-11 LTC/share, which is over 9% higher.

and thats not to mention the doge blocks that litecoinpool get.

You seem to be a bit confused about how this works. The blocks resulting from merged mining are converted to LTC and used to pay miners, and they are the only thing that makes a PPS ratio of 100% and over possible.

why is the PPS constantly being lowered?

It is not. The PPS ratio goes both up and down. The last time it went up was on September 10, when it went from 104% to 107%, and it stayed there until November 2, when it was deemed no longer sustainable and lowered to 105%.

Thanks for keeping this running all these years! I think I have been here about 3 of those years, grinding away. Very slowly until I got some L3+s. That little 20Mh Fish went out of profitability quickly...

Peace,

I noticed that there are some pools that are not small, but are not labeled in the hashrate distribution chart. Is there any way to discover what these pools are?

Not that I know of. Besides, these could very well be solo miners.

Total newbie to cryptomining, can you advise if these stale and invalid shares look normal?
I am using three L3+ miners, obvious form the data I have added them over the last month.  Not overclocked.  Thanks!

Your numbers for the last 4 days look OK. Before that something was clearly wrong, though, as a stale rate of 1% is already abnormal.

Thanks for the reply.  When you say 'something was clearly wrong' - what do you mean and how do I o about troubleshooting?  Thanks!

My accound was HACKED ! payment address for user lexxpsycho has been modified.This change was requested from: 176.65.115.162 ! I DO NOT DO THIS! THAT WASN'T ME!

Sending an email to support was enough, but of course I understand you're worried about the situation.

[yvcea]

I lost access to my machines via ip. When I try to get with root/root login and pass, I cant get into the web UI. Also, the green light as they're mining is turned on. I don't see any hash rate on any of my workers on the pool? I had to get into it pressing the reset button and setting up every machine again....

Just to see your opinion, what could happen there? somebody hacked my machines?

Thank you!

That does seem to be the likely scenario, were they producing the normal heat you would expect? Assuming you are running L3+'s, BM released a FW a couple of months ago to address "vulnerabilities" across all kinds of L3's. Are you running this updated FW? If not, its possible whatever vulnerability that got patched was exploited to change the credentials of your machines.
