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

[stumblios]

Is there anything better to be mining than ISR? I figured IpoMiner would be focusing on coins that were pre-first-bubble, but perhaps I assumed incorrectly?

Sometimes after the first bubble pops, the network hash rate also drops proportionally so it's still moderately profitable. The only coin listed on IPOminer with a higher BTC/MH/Day is IVC, and I don't believe it has a large enough total network hash rate to support the entire pool's hash rate. If you're tired of ISR, I'd recommend switching off the multiport to a single coin's port and just watching it until IPOminer has found something that interests you again.

We try to beat the profitability of all the other multipools, and typically do by a pretty large margin. We also try to balance risk vs. profit appropriately - if we only mined pre-first-bubble coins, we would often either not have a good coin to mine, or have a lot more flops on our hands.

Just FYI, it seems like Mintpal is having issues with deposits on some coins currently. I've heard reports of IVC and BC deposits so far, but other coins may be affected as well.

I can confirm that my IVC transfer to Mintpal still isn't showing up (not even as pending) after 4-5 hours.

I talked to MintPal and they confirmed: "We're having issues with a few of the wallets due to the high volume today, trying to resolve them as we can."

The difficulty on WC sure shot up quick. I think another multi-pool was hammering it.

[ibfragalot]

Is something wrong? Are we not mining anything?

We're mining just fine - we haven't gotten a WC block yet, so there are no stats to update from yet. The WhiteCoin network seemed a little wacky for a little while there -- block 215 to 216 took 20 minutes, when the block time should be 1.5 minutes. We've gotten a handful of blocks since then and they're displaying in the stats.

One thing to note is that WhiteCoin blocks take 350 confirmations -- at 1.5 minutes per block, that's 525 minutes (8.75 hours) for blocks to mature. Expect to see unconfirmed coins sitting there for quite a while.

[ibfragalot]

Thanks ipominer.

[ipominer]

I spoke to the guys at Bittrex and asked them to add WhiteCoin.. it is now on there for trading  

You won't see any sales there for a bit though because it is only at block #323, and blocks take 350 confirmations to mature.

[nightengale]

So if my calculations are correct, Whitecoin will be mineable for 10-11 days?

[kingscrown]

i love this idea.

add LGD guys!

[ipominer]

I guess so nightengale, because the block time is 1.5 minutes and there are 10k blocks. It just depends if PoS blocks are included or not in the 10k limit, I haven't checked the source for the specifics yet.

IPOPOOL website and pool is DOWN. Check your backup!

What happened? DDoS? Too bad I forgot to set a failover pool...

[ibfragalot]

Yeah I assumed DDOS... someone not liking 900MH/s on their WC I'm guessing!

[ibfragalot]

Hmmm... the profits for WC look weird.

Eg. 6,375khs =  48.173 coins per hour.

I've moved to another pool and already earned 49.232 in less than 5 minutes.

Am I reading it wrong?

The provider for our hosting of our front proxy had a datacenter networking equipment failure this morning which affected ipoMiner from 5:11AM to 7:09AM Eastern time.

After the previous outage with that provider we added DNS failover, but it didn't seem to take effect this morning - we'll be investigating why and how to fix that.

For the mean time, we've now moved the proxy server to another provider. You may need to restart your miner to get the updated DNS resolution for pool.ipominer.com to get to the new server, but we'll continue to run the old one so you shouldn't have any issues unless that provider goes down again.

@ibfragalot The estimates for it were off due to a bug that I fixed now. You'll definitely earn far more than 48 coins per hour on WC right now at 6.3MH though

ECC is back, just hit 10 sat. (some sales even at 12) on Bittrex
