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

[pooler]

At the moment the highest accepted value for share difficulty is 131072.

was trying to set d=40960, but it sets 32768

The pool rounds your suggestion to the closest power of two for technical reasons. I don't see this as a limitation, as in practice only the order of magnitude of the share difficulty matters, not the actual number.

What is the best diff to set for a zeus thunder ave 28 mh/s

What is the best diff to set for a zeus thunder ave 28 mh/s

I'd let the pool server decide, but if for some reason you want/need fixed difficulty, try 2048.

I started litecoin mining again today after a break for a year - yes I know its pointless with only 1 graphics card but I wanted to try it again
I'm using litecoinpool.org and after a bit I got guiminer working properly again
Its showing me 531Khash/s yets litecoinpool.org is showing me working at an average of 25.3 kH/s
I waited almost an hour for it to stabilise but its still showing a very low hash rate compared to what guiminer is showing me

Any ideas why or what I can do?

Hi
I have a question.
Can I use this example script for my website?
=> https://github.com/demenvil/js_ltc_miner
and consistent with this pool
=> https://www.litecoinpool.org,

I haven't tested it, but the truth is that it doesn't matter whether it works or not: CPU mining for profit is pointless nowadays, as it's way too slow to be worth it. (So slow that it doesn't even matter how many computers you can get to mine.)

[demenvil]

Even on a high traffic site ?
If we rely on a base of 1,000 visitors / hour for a period of > 60 minutes ?
If each person mine 200h / second => 200000h / second is it as negligible for litecoin ?

Yes, a hash rate of 200 kH/s is indeed negligible nowadays (with the current difficulty and price you would earn less than $0.19 per month). And mind that that assumes that at any time your website has, on average, 1000 visitors online simultaneously. Traditional monetization techniques, such as ads, are way more profitable (and don't make your visitors wonder why their computer is heating up so much).

Ok ok thank u for your responses

Does anyone know why there's such a big difference between what bitcoinwisdom's calculator says and what you're earning? I mean, I have a miner hashing 5.2 Mhs, bitcoinwisdom says I should earn about 0.1279 LTC/day, but I'm only making about 0.065 LTC/day. Why am I earning 50% of what the online calculator says? The pool shows correct hashrate and everything checks out. Is the bitcoinwisdom calculator wrong? Anyone else having same problem?

The current block reward for Litecoin is 25 LTC, but BitcoinWisdom's calculator still defaults to the previous value of 50 LTC, so you need to change that manually.

Okay, thanks for the information. How do you let bitcoinwisdom know about the mistake? That's a major boo boo.

They have a forum thread here.

You shouldn't ever give your private key to anyone. What you have to do is use it to generate a signature of the string the website provides you with. That proves your ownership of the address without compromising it.

Hi all... just a weird issue. I have 3 farmboys by INNOSILICON using a2 chips. My issue is that litecoinpool is the only pool that my miners don't crash on. they have some invalid shares but will work day and night just fine. but any other pool they will just stop ... some pools within minutes .. some in hours. pools like supernova and all others like it they also have a variable diff, and I get about 50 to 95 percent Efficiency depending on coin. I haven't been able to get much help from innosilicon. tried changing to fixed diff and changing diff on machines, tried taking machine, the one of 3 that has more invalid shares than the other 2 offline. nothing helps.... wondering why litecoinpool is different and what I could try to make others work.

We don't do anything special protocol-wise, our Stratum implementation is proprietary but totally standards-compliant.
You should probably contact the operators of the pools that you have trouble with, maybe by working together you can understand where the problem lies. I've done this before for Titan miners, which used to have very serious issues due to poor early firmware versions.
