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

[bitdigger2013]

What is the current fee on litecoinpool.org?

What is the current fee on litecoinpool.org?

There is no fee.
The nominal PPS fee was superseded by the PPS ratio when merged mining was introduced. You can easily convert between the two, but it makes little sense to talk about a fee when the ratio is greater than 100%, as the corresponding fee is negative. For instance, a PPS ratio of 110% corresponds to a -10% fee.

By the way, I've adjusted the PPS ratio down to 110% because of the recent correction in the ULTC market. Yes, we are still paying more than all other pools I've checked, including profit-switching pools.

Happy 3rd Birthday, LitecoinPool.org!

Congrratulations! 
Excellent pool.

Hi been mining last few days seem to be getting a lot less hashes at the pool than the miners themselves are displaying any ideas please kind of like this pool don't want to move 

Found a block though

Sounds like a typical case of hardware errors.
Please send an email to support with a brief description of your setup and a screenshot of your mining software (cgminer/bfgminer/...) after it's been running for at least 10 minutes.

Did you get anywhere on fixing the pool to work with the new higher hashrate miners like the titans? I know you think its the titans, but I get 280 to 320mh averages on 2 other pools (thats each, on 6 different titans), so there has to be something on your end. If you look at givemecoin, they have a specific port for the titans that gives me 300 mh all day every day and I know clerver mining has been working with some people on the knc forums to optimize his pool too. Better keep up on the new tech or ya might get left behind my friend.

With that said, your pool does pay out the best and all my slower miners hash great there. I really wish that I could use my KNCs there htough, but they hash at around 150mh each vs 300 at the other pools :-(

I believe that what you wrote is misleading. This pool has always worked fine with miners of any hash rate. In fact, KnC's allegation that some pools are not "up to speed" with newer, faster, mining hardware is a downright lie spread to try to justify the numerous issues that Titans have. There's a simple reason for this: if a pool uses vardiff, a fast miner is no different from a slow miner: because of the difficulty adjustment, both will submit about the same amount of shares in a given time period. I am perfectly aware that Titans seem to behave differently on different pools; what I am saying is that this is KnC's fault, and not the pools' fault.

What is really disconcerting is that two different Titans with the same configuration often behave differently on the same pool. There are Titans on this pool hashing away happily at over 340 MH/s, while some others, like yours, apparently work better at other pools.

Weeks ago I wrote an email to KnC to ask them for more information about these miners, and I did get an initial reply from one of their devs, but sadly when I started posing more technical questions I got no more replies. During that same period, I worked with a Titan owner to try to maximize the compatibility of the pool with these machines, and this collaboration brought very good results.
However, it looks like the newer Titan firmwares (1.10 and later) have different requirements to work optimally. A few users brought this to my attention in the IRC channel yesterday, and we are now testing some new server configuration to try, yet again, to maximize compatibility. This is not easy because, as I've mentioned above, Titans do not seem to be created equal.

Can sent me the tests server for Titan miner to checking

Come to the #litecoinpool channel on Freenode IRC if you want to take part in the testing. I see from the logs that you joined the channel earlier today, but you only stayed connected for a couple of minutes. The channel is small and people are idling most of the time, so you have to stay much longer than that if you want to get a response.

Hi,

I am a newbie and I'm starting to mining Litecoin
I use the program "bfgminer-4.10.0-win32"

And using a bat file to run this command:
bfgminer -S opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u ABC.1 -p 12345 --set-device intensity=9

But nothing I can not mining...
Does anyone know where I'm wrong please?

You forgot to add "--scrypt". Without that, you're basically trying to mine bitcoins.

[harrybrown838]

I forget that it is "--scrypt"

Much thank you very much

Hello to all
Why am I writing this? "Stratum from pool 0 detected new block"
Just once in half an hour I wrote it "Accepted"

Also, use the command
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u Anetka223568.1 -p 1 --set-device intensity=9

What is wrong?

Also don't forget to read the documentation.
https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/bfgminer/README.GPU
https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/bfgminer/README.scrypt

[Anetka]

Also, use the command

"--scrypt" I forgot to write on forum

My question remains the same

You didn't say what GPU you're trying to mine with. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the screenshot of bfgminer that you posted, it only looks like your GPU mines extremely slowly. If you have an Nvidia GPU, you should try cudaMiner instead of BFGminer.

By the way, let me remark that nowadays GPU mining is hardly profitable, even with high-end GPUs.

[Searing]

Is the pool running slow today or is it just me (snowstorm out east my inet links to chicago)

others?

and what the heck someone should post here once in awhile ...all I got


added:

er just read the above on Titan's etc...so it is probably me (sigh)

anyway if there is a test thread or some better tcp/ip connection then the USA2 one on www.litecoinpool.org I'm not aware of
let me know and I'll try that as well...

just lost like 20mh from yesterday running firmware v1.14 on the Titan so was scratching my head but likely it is just the knc unit(s) themselves

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?

P.S. Is it possible to change difficulty in pooler's cpuminer and get some more?!? (now i'm running: minerd.exe -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u blahblahblah -p blahblah)
