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

[pooler]

Hi there! I'm a newbie to litecoin. Now i'm getting 80-90 kH\s on my CPU at 100 watts. Online calculator gives me interesting numbers as expected rewards: 2.11 LTC per 24 hours, 14.83 LTC per 7 days and 63.56 LTC per month. Time goes by (72 hours) and I see only 0.004 LTC . How it works, is it REALLY profitable for me now? Maybe I don't understand something?

No, CPU mining is not profitable anymore. You must have given a wrong hash rate to the calculator. Mind that the online calculator takes a hash rate in MH/s, not kH/s. And 90 kH/s = 0.090 MH/s.

P.S. Is it possible to change difficulty in pooler's cpuminer and get some more?!?

The share difficulty has no influence on expected earnings. You can find more information on this in the FAQ.

  So bad, so sad!.. Statistics inspired me to mine and not to buy... I was faster than 26%... of idiots!)
Anyway - i believe in litecoin boom in the future... Thank you, Mr.Pooler!

Hello all, I realize that cpu mining is not currently profitable, but I’m interested in crypto-currency. Also, I like virtual mining. I figure this can’t possibly be any worse that mining in Eve Online.

No idea what you're talking about, payments are working as usual.

I see you just requested a manual payment, and it worked perfectly. You could just have waited half an hour and you would have received an automatic payment.
Regarding automatic payments, keep in mind that (as explained on the payments page) 1. they are processed once per hour and 2. in order to prevent transaction spamming, you won't receive automatic payouts more often than once every 3 hours.

Hey Pooler

Are we getting via merged mining anytime soon?

Are we getting via merged mining anytime soon?

Thank you for posting, I didn't know that Viacoin was adding merged mining support.
I have installed the Viacoin daemons and they're currently downloading blocks, hopefully we'll be ready to start merged-mining VIA very soon.

UPDATE: Viacoin merged mining is now up and running. PPS ratio has been upped to 115% (don't expect this to last long, though: the difficulty of Viacoin is going to rise quickly as more pools start merged-mining it).

What coins are we getting merged mining?

Right now we are merged-mining:

• Dogecoin
• Viacoin
• Umbrella-LTC
• Syscoin
• Pesetacoin
• Tacocoin

Merge mining Scypt coins:
[...]

Some of the coins you list (such as Catcoin or Digitalcoin) are not merged-minable, and some (such as UnitedScryptCoin or Burbucoin) are simply dead.

HunterCoin
http://huntercoin.org/information/how-to-mine/hardware/

"Huntercoin uses dual proof-of-work algorithm — SHA-256 and Scrypt. Both support merged-mining (e.g. with Bitcoin and Litecoin respectively). Chain IDs for merged mining are 6[1] (for SHA-256) and 2 (for Scrypt)."

HunterCoin

Looking into it, but it doesn't seem to be very profitable right now judging from its current difficulty and market price.

Sapphire

Sapphire doesn't seem to be doing too well: its network is very small, people don't seem to care about it, and there is almost no buy support.

GreenCoin

GreenCoin has been officially abandoned (see here).

Read, read, read. I can't stress that enough. This should be a good starting (and for many, ending) point:
