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

[pooler]

Hi, I have a confusion or doubt with the statistics, I have 2 l3+ mining with litecoinpool, in theory my contribution is 1000MH/s. in statistics I always see what I should do 0.1 LTC/d, of course I can not see the next number, it would be clearer if the statistics showed me 0.1x for example, Is there any way to see more accurately the projected earnings per day?

The number on the Stats page is just for rough comparison with the Top 30. If you want to know how much you've made in the last 24 hours, see the "Past 24 hours Rewards" on your account page. If you want to estimate your earnings for the future, use the Calc.

L3+ will not connect to litecoinpool 3443
stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3443
I receive the following kernel log error:
unable to resolve host.  But it connects no problem to 3333  Any ideas?

Port 3443 is for Stratum over TLS. As far as I know, Antminers do not support this.

is anyone else getting slow hashrate on this pool ? my BFGminer shows 290 but im only getting around 250, been like that the last 2-3 days , had a steady 288-290 avareage before that

Hi, I've also seen slow hashrate in my 2 miners, always below 500 and before they were always above 500, something change?

Jacktgns, I just had a look at your worker charts, and I see no difference in hash rate between now and two weeks ago. If you're talking about the "current" speed, it is always subject to fluctuations, as explained in the FAQ.
I cannot check tommy1033's account because I do not know his username.

Hello folks ,

I recentyly restart my asic gridseed  and everything work but for a short period of time.

I use bfminer 3.99 i setup the miner, start mining but after few minute my hasrate on the litecoinpool appear to 0 however on bfminer i can see it's still working

Did anyone got this issue of could recommand a good miner (i tryed few but could not manage to make them work) ?

I think he's asking for something like 'Projected Rewards':

(excuse the green on black, I prefer a dark colour scheme).
Projected Rewards is what the expected payout will be at the end of 24 hours, using the average since last paid out (and payout set to 24 hours, not in multiples of the payout threshold). I have a greasemonkey script that updates the value for me, but it requires knowing the payout time (hardcoded in at the moment, 22:05 for me). Past 24 hours Rewards is a pretty close indicator, though.

.. I should probably switch it over to keeping track of shares per hour, and then multiply that by the PPS, so it will track over difficulty changes...

I can't see the data you are referring to but I can say that I don't think the information that is now showing is correct.

current speed:  507.2 MH/s / 519.4 MH/s
24-Hours: 326.3 MH/s / 321.9 MH/s
https://prnt.sc/htf26b

my boards work without problems.
at this moment I am lucky that it exceeds 500 MH/s

Sure you can, just click on Charts in the top menu. Here's a screenshot: https://prnt.sc/htf5sv

but I can say that I don't think the information that is now showing is correct.

The 24-hour average is low because, as you can see in the screenshot I posted above, your miners were inactive for some time during the last 24 hours.

ok, thanks for the clarification, there are about 2 or 3 hours where I change to prohashing because I wanted to test the effectiveness of my miners and compare with litecoinpool

[Jacktgns]

hi, after the previous post I must say that my luck has changed at this time my miners are showing higher value, values that are now more congruent.
532.8 MH/s / 558.2 MH/s

I hope they stay, I will continue monitoring...

Antminer L3+ unable to establish Support for Stratum over SSL/TLS.  

My kernel log reports unable to resolve host on 3443 when configured like this stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3443

When configured like this stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333 it connects no problem.


Any help is much appreciated!

Antminer L3+ unable to establish Support for Stratum over SSL/TLS.

As far as I know, the stock firmware of Antminers does not support Stratum over TLS.

Hi Guys,
I would like to have a question.
I am thinking about purchasing one more AntMiner L3+ but I am afraid of earning decrease once the March batch will be released of L3's by Bitmain.
Can you please share your opinion/vision/experience on how big is the decrease in the earning (lets say of one L3 miner) once the batch has been released and the miners come online?
Or the decrease is not that significant that you could sense it?
Many thanks in advance for your feedback.

This question doesn't really belong here, but it is a telling sign that since the last 4 weeks alone the difficulty has jumped a factor 2.5 (!) (https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/litecoin-difficulty.html#3m) Right now you would earn 2LTC/mo or ca 500$/mo. That's still not bad (before december, if you held on to the coins, would have earned 1250$/mo!, that's why it is so important to come in as early as possible). But by end march that could easily have dropped to halve or less, and then it depends on where LTC goes, it if halves too, then go figure, it may take a loooong time to recoup the cost. Of course, if LTC goes to 1000$ then that would help a lot. Note that difficulty also swings with the price as some big miners move in/out depending on profitability. 

[Searing]

Just an aside.....www.litecoinpool.org...is run out of the United Kingdom correct? I mean the owner pooler

and if there is a 'source of operations' outside of various server locations, that would be it?

Curious. (Likely, I'm completely off on this)

Thanks very much for the opinion.
The charts are really helpfull in order to make my decision, I wasn't aware of this site.

We're actually two people running the pool. My business partner is in the US and I'm in Europe. The time difference is quite convenient for managing a 24/7 service.

Do you have a solo mode on your pool? i want to leave antpool but can't find a normal solo pool.

Litecoinpool.org is a PPS pool. If you want to mine solo you don't need a pool, you can just run all the software yourself.
Frankly, "solo pool" sounds like an oxymoron to me. Of course, there are services that make your solo mining setup easier in exchange for a fee whenever you find a block, but we don't do that.

seems the version of BFGminer that I have is only showing 3.57Mhz for output... and site is Registering 4,285Khz and No blocks found but I am still getting 0.03CND a min and my PPkw is 0.03CND.... not worth the 175.00Cnd that I payed for my Gridseed 5.5Mhz mining Hardware... I am buying a second unit to see if this helps my Earnings Rate...
Can anyone tell me How much Hardware I would have to buy to make this pay???

Since nobody has done it yet, I'm launching a pure pay-per-share Litecoin pool. As you probably know, this system has several advantages:

• No penalty for orphaned blocks.
• Predictable income: you are no more subject to bad luck.
• Rewards are instantly credited to your account (you don't have to wait for a block to be solved or confirmed).
• You can be sure that the pool operator is not cheating (because you know how many shares you submit).
• Immunity to pool hopping.

This method results in the least possible variance for miners.

Other features include: (updated)

• Exclusive ultra-low-latency Stratum implementation, written in C for maximum performance
• Support for Stratum over SSL/TLS, to prevent MITM attacks
• Support for extensions to the Stratum protocol, including resume, suggest_difficulty and suggest_target
• Adaptive share difficulty (“vardiff”)
• Geographically-distributed, redundant servers
• Detailed stats updated every minute
• Detailed history of earnings and payouts
• Per-worker performance graphs
• Automatic and manual payouts
• Email notification of idle miners
• Two-factor authentication support
• Extensive JSON API and mobile interfaces
• Website and mining interface also accessible as Tor hidden services
• Lightweight interface

Since September 11, 2014, the pool supports merged mining of Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies, resulting in higher payouts than with a regular Litecoin pool.
We are currently merged-mining Argentum, Canada eCoin, Dogecoin, Huntercoin, Pesetacoin, Umbrella-LTC, Viacoin.

Feedback and feature requests are very welcome!

With the rising price of dogecoin right now, can we see a 110% PPS in the future for litecoinpool?

For 110% the price of Dogecoin would have to rise a lot more! However, we're currently considering increasing the PPS ratio to 102%.
