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

[ipominer]

@Ilan1 WhiteCoin takes approximately 8.75 hours to confirm -- 350 blocks. That's what the coin requires.

Many thanks for all of your help, I was just confused about the block confirmation times etc, thanks for helping me understand.

Cheers

No problem, glad you got it sorted out

We need to reboot a server - you'll see ~5 minutes of downtime on both the site and the pool.

Okay, so it took 6 minutes.. Back up now! Apologies for the short notice on the downtime.

looked like i did it wrong or am i too impatient?

this is my pool-Failover-strategy:
{
      "quota" : "100;stratum+tcp://xxx.com:1111",
      "user" : "MyName",
      "pass" : "x"
   },
   {
      "quota" : "0;stratum+tcp://yyy.com:2222",
      "user" : "MyName",
      "pass" : "x"
   },
   {
      "quota" : "0;stratum+tcp://zzz.com:3333",
      "user" : "MyName",
      "pass" : "x"
   }

as ipominer was down for the announced 5 min my miner didn't Switch anywhere else. but as soon as ipominer came up again my miner started getting work.
anybody knows what i did wrong?

EDITED - got it slightly wrong first time
Have you got a

"failover-only" : true

in your conf file? Failover is the default, but if you have failover-only enabled I think it only changes from the primary pool when it decides it is completely dead, not just lagging. Not entirely clear on how that is implemented, have a look at the cgminer readme for more info - http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/README

If you are running cgminer or variant of it you should be able to press "P" whilst its running to view your pool strategy and adjust accordingly, then you can save the config from within cgminer to see what it changes in your config file.

@ RentaMouse

oh i forgot to mention, sorry.
yes i am running a cgminer variant, sgminer.
and no, but i have the "load-balance" : true. i thought that this is the right command for me because i want to point my hashpower percentage wise to different pools.

maybe i really took the wrong command and i should use "Failover-only" : true.

Also thanks for the tip with saving the conf from within sgminer to see what changes, didn't know about that!

[RentaMouse]

I have SGminer on my main PC, and my default config has two different pools set to "load balance", so it spreads the hash between them or if one fails it all goes to the other. I then use the "P" pool mgmt menu to add direct ports on IPOminer if I want to mine something different, and just manually disable/enable the other pools to redirect my hashpower. Could get advanced with pool quotas but I dont have enough hash to make it worthwhile

ipominers,

Are you guys going to be adding that UAE Coin coming out at the end of the month. Seems the only decent upcoming coin. Only issue is that its X11

[Forexperiments]

UAE coin seems the only decent upcoming coin.

Looks like you're from UAE, right?  
For me every coin except BTC, LTC, DOGE and VTC are just useless bits to mine and dump as soon as possible

[ipominer]

We don't currently add X11 coins. Maybe in the future

You should check out Yellowcoin, it's Scrypt

[ipominer]

I've been watching YellowCoin, unfortunately it isn't profitable at all to mine... its roughly ~0.002 btc/mh/day currently.

I'm having an issue with share diff, it doesn't seem to take.  I created a worker at 32 share diff because there was only one miner for it.  Later I added other miners to the worker and used the dropdown to select 64 diff, and hit update.  It claims to have updated, but there has been no change in the reported diff on my cgminer.  It's still at 32 and it's been a few hours since I made the change.  Does it not adjust on the fly?

[ipominer]

@schnauzr What happens if you restart your miner (or just re-add the pool)?

@schnauzr What happens if you restart your miner (or just re-add the pool)?

Haven't tried that yet - i'm currently testing some historically finicky miners so I want to let it go as long as possible to see if they stabilize under my new config.  If the share diff changes only on a reconnect, and not on the fly, then I will check the next time i need to restart cgminer or reboot.  Thanks.

Its block reward should jump from 1000 to 4000 today. I'm waiting for this jump to start mining it.

Block Rewards:

Day 1 (POW): Blocks 1-4320 - 1000 YC
Day 2-7 (POW): Blocks 4321-30240 - 4,000 YC

[paniczklos]

yup and the profitability of YC is ~0.012 BTC/Mh/24hr at the moment !

  Can u put up a port for YC

[PDcologne]

is there a problem with the pool?

just checked the site and my workers are not showing as hashing... just checked all my miners and they are churning away as usual....?
