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

[Searing]

Woot! Found my first block with my 1 L3+ after 1.6TH of work. Glad I did not try to solo, I'd have no hair left.

I've 3 L3+'s mining like 5 weeks w/o a block

glad I was on www.litecoinpool.org

be a coward...the pucker factor is less

Running cpuminer on all 4 threads it drew 1.577 watts with a mouse and keyboard plugged in.  Only hashed at 1.84 hash/s total though.  Running through a DrOK inline USB power meter.  I think this thread is viewable by everybody, you just need a login to comment: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=186721  The Pi model was a 3B.  Not that I'm advocating CPU mining, just that some of these little guys are pretty efficient.

[edit]

Well, maybe but not for mining I guess.  I worked this out, I don't know if it's right:

1 joule = 1 watt second
A pi3b draws 1.577 watts and does 1.84 khash/s using all 4 cores

So each hash takes 1/1840 seconds or .00054348 seconds
times 1.577 = .000857 joules/hash(?)

I want Mhash/J so flip joules/hash:
1/0.000857 = 1166.861

That's 1.166 khash/j
so 0.001166 Mhash/J  (?)

Hey pooler - I've been trying to look for this answer and I think I know the answer...

I see you folks are doing merged mining, but it doesn't seem that payouts for any merge mining coins are possible. It makes sense that you folks give an increased PPS payout for this, but I just wanted to make sure...

Do you folks payout in anything other than LTC (I.e. some Doge, and/or other merged coins)?

Thank you for the awesome pool! I have 10 L3+ miners on the way and I may throw them on your pool. The only thing drawing me to Antpool or F2Pool are merged coin payouts. That's more probability for profits imo as the other coin values could go up - increasing revenue exponentially (and potentially... )

Long live LTC!

The pool pays out in litecoins only.This has been brought up before, see this post.

I think what really matters is the value of the rewards a miner accrues at the time they are credited. If one wants to invest in Dogecoin or some other cryptocurrency because they expect the price to go up, they can always do so by exchanging their litecoins.
By the way, I'm pretty sure that if you do the math you'll find out that our payouts are significantly higher than Antpool's or F2Pool's, even when you account for the extra dogecoins.

I mean...as far as value goes - sure they aren't worth as much now. But if they go up and there's a large sum you are holding = not bad. You're also correct in that I could trade for those too but that's also another layer of expenses for exchange fees (not to mention time/risk/etc).

I will consider checking this out and doing a comparison on the payouts.

Thanks Pooler

I'd like to point out that exchange fees are negligible compared to the extra rewards you get. Let's take F2Pool for example. Their website says that they offer a PPS system with 4% fee, plus 1000 DOGE for every LTC mined. At the time of this writing, 1 DOGE is worth about 0.000055 LTC, which means that the extra dogecoins add about 5.5% to your payouts. This gives an effective PPS ratio of (1 - 0.04) × (1 + 0.055) = 101.3%, far lower than the 108% we're currently offering.

I've said before that most of the miners I've received feedback from don't want to have to worry about multiple currencies; I'll add that those who do, generally prefer to diversify their portfolio themselves rather than holding on passively to whatever merged mining yields - which I think makes sense, as it gives you infinitely more options. Given this, in my opinion receiving payouts in a single currency actually makes things easier.

Thanks.

I suggest using us2.litecoinpool.org, the West coast has pretty good connectivity to Asia.

how can I do to improve the hashrate ?

I have 2 piece of a4 dominator (expect 280MHS) , running for a week .

current hashrate around 200MHS

voltage : 815v

corespeed : 1200MHz

temperature all below 60 cellcius degree

Which A4 firmware? Getting the latest helps, at least on my A4's, get near 280MH/s with litecoinpoool.org

L3 + per day on the antpool - 0.98-1.02 LTC, and how many per day on litecoinpool -?

At the current difficulty and PPS rate it's about 1.056 LTC/day for 500 MH/s. See the calculator on the website.

L3+  Supports  SSL/TLS, I do not know ?

If your mining software supports Stratum over SSL/TLS, you can connect to port 3443 (instead of 3333) to obtain a secure encrypted connection. This makes it impossible for a man-in-the-middle attacker to send malicious spoofed requests to your miner. All our servers support this feature, including the Tor hidden service.

L3+  Supports  SSL/TLS, I do not know ?

Based on user feedback, Bitmain's software doesn't seem to support it.

[lubomirvlad]

Connected L3+. Ok.

IF the latest firmware doesn't do what you want try 2.03:

The  latest firmware i know of is from nice hash 2.10

Trying to do a manual payout but can't find that option. Where do I go?

Thanks. Guess I'm not at the 0.1 minimum for that option to appear.

Hi,

I will receive my first L3+ today, is it possible to do solo mining.

thx
