[ANN][POOL] ipoMiner - Profitable multipool targeting new coins + merged mining!

Curious why you never pointed the multiport at CINNI ?

From the Dev:

In terms of why we haven't mined CINNI on the multiport... we've felt that CINNI is a very volatile, risky, and short term play from the time we added it on a direct port. It isn't fair to expect every miner that mines with us on the multiport to constantly monitor the markets to sell within a potentially short term window, especially on a holiday weekend in many countries.

Gotcha. Thanks

Just FYI, you don't need to be in a rush to cutover from CINNI to another port when the PoW mining period ends in a few blocks -- we'll handle rerouting the CINNI port to mine on the multiport.

This was a nice touch, you guys rock.

Is everything OK on WC, I have been mining for 2 hours with 10 M/hs but only appear to have accumulated 250 Unconfirmed coins, is it calculating the shares/payout correctly?  I know you had a few issues with this a couple of days ago.

Cheers

I have issues as well. Last withdrawal was Sunday night and I've been mining since then with a little over 7 MH/s and only have ~0.27 BTC worth of WC to show for it.

I've emailed the pool operator to ask about it. Something is awry.

Yes, I have just been monitoring the payout, there was nothing paid out for the last block. I have also just sent an email.

what difficulty worker setting on the pool are you guys using with Radeon 7950's ?
the web page says it's not going to make much difference but what do you guys think ?
does it matter for example with what i said ? ..earnings wise

and pool owner you mention in your web site setup help page to put the setting as low as 16
then on your setting page it says 32 is the lowest etc.. dun wanna confuse them nubs do ya

and yeah changing the coin / port settings etc via the web site would a very good feature for sure !
i have like 3 machines doing some light mining and it can be a bitch to hop around screwing with bat files etc on them

if you only have 1 7950 pointed at this pool i suggest to use 64 difficulty.
i tried only once different worker difficulties for my rig. i have about 3.5MH/s. so my suggested difficulty is 384. i also tried it with difficulty 64. testing time was about roughly 2 days. i haven't seen any differences in payout.

the theory for worker difficulty Setting:
low difficulty: creates more Network traffic (think taht's not really a Problem for end-customers, but for the ipominer-server it's better to have not so many low-difficulty-connections). is good for fast switching (=fast blocktime) coins. can't explain exactly why, but i guess it's because of the smaller amount of work you receive with a low difficulty and that smaller amount of work is solved faster by your gpu. if you have a fast switching coin and a high difficulty Setting then it may happen that you get a big amount of work to solve but your gpu isn't fast enough and another guy out there solved the block faster and you get nothing for your work.
high difficulty: Needs less bandwith.

conclusion:
if you don't hop from pool to pool twice a day then i'm pretty sure that the worker difficulty isn't very important when it Comes to your payments.

[Spoetnik]

well thanks, i see what your saying but i think i might have to just try out 32/64 for longer periods and see..
i know earnings can vary though.. and i've worked on tweaking miners lots about close to a year.
and i have had success doing it... 75% of all miners i run i did a lot tweaking and modding + long term testing.
so i am not stranger to the miners

what i don't know is if the pool is based on shares alone..
i read what it says about it but i still found it confusing which is why i asked.

bottom line is if a lower diff gets more more shares submitted then i *may be making more, regardless of what is good for networking lol
so does the pool work that way ? The web pages explanation was kind of vague on that lol

i am using a bunch of workers such as a cudaminer mod i have worked on since last year running an overclocked Geforce 550Ti
so my Radeon is the fastest worker and funny i have a stock speed Haswell 4770k cpu that is like twice as fast as my nvidia card with only 6 threads lol

anyway i think i will do some longer-term testing and see if makes little difference earnings wise and
i will of-course choose the higher difficulty for the Radeon if it makes no difference.
The other workers i have are pretty slow compared to my one 7950 so.. i'll stay on 32 for them i think.

[Fermin]

I will give a try.
Good luck guys!

@ spoetnik


testing and tweaking won't proof us exact mathematical results i think. because of permanently changing coin-difficulty, sometimes Network issues (own side and/or Server side)...

for me i think that the pool is based on Shares. that's why my hashrate shown varies greatly all the time (when i started mining i've learnd that my MH/s in cgminer are worthless, the only counting Thing is the WU-rate because this is what the Server side can see). and hopefully the WU-rate is the indicator for submitted Shares - otherwise i have to learn more :-)

it makes sense that low difficulty = small amount of work that i receive = work solved fast = fast submitted share = fast know if my share is valid or invalid = fast payout.
but everywhere i look it says that this averages out (compared to high difficulty) over time. question is "how much time"? as said, my Little 2-day-test showed me no differences.

[ipominer]

The pool is solely based on shares, yes. You want to try to get your miner to produce the highest average "Work Units", which is number of difficulty 1 equivalent shares submitted per minute. The hashrate displayed in your miner is basically irrelevant -- shares are what matters.

Higher difficulty or lower will average out over time -- sometimes *too* high or *too* low will have negative consequences in terms of the number of shares you will submit, but anything even remotely close to what you should be using for your level of hashrate will probably work out just fine.

@Ilan1 Block scoring was delayed for ~2 hours this morning but all blocks have been processed -- you should have seen a bump in unconfirmed around 2 hours ago?

@nightengale I just replied to your email, but I think the issue you're seeing is just the dramatic fall in the price of WC from ~2000 satoshis on Sunday to ~1000 today.

@ipominer - Thanks for the response, just got your email. Didn't realize the price had fallen that much. Thanks again.

[ipominer]

No problem

Thank you, yes it did bump up to 800 WC from 250 WC as you say, however this still appears to be short to me, please can you double check my block shares v payout? many thanks

[ipominer]

@Ilan1 I've double checked them, everything looks fine. All the blocks and shares are listed on the site though if you want to take a look yourself though Check the https://www.ipominer.com/blocks?curr=wc page and you can look at every block that has ever been mined. What makes you say you think it is short.. the estimates displayed on the site? We're actually planning on removing the estimates, because on most coins the difficulty changes every block, often dramatically so, and the estimates are inherently flawed because they don't take past or future difficulty into account.

[Ilan1]

Hi thank you very much for double checking, yes I thought it was short based on the hourly / daily estimates that were showing up.

Incidentally the last block I was paid out on was 7224 but a good number of block payments have been completed since then according to the list.
It appears that my payments are stuck!

can you check this please?

Thank you

Ilan

[ipominer]

@Ilan1 I don't see you submitting shares on more recent blocks under your username. Are you seeing accepted shares in your miner? Are you sure you are mining on pool.ipominer.com? What port?

[Ilan1]

@Ilan1 I don't see you submitting shares on more recent blocks under your username "Ilan". Are you seeing accepted shares in your miner? Are you sure you are mining on pool.ipominer.com? What port?

Yes I am mining on IPO right now but I switched ports earlier this afternoon to mine Asia coin on 3433.
But I still have 800 WC coins stuck in an "unconfirmed" status from WC mining earlier today :-)

Cheers
