run  a lot at the pool tonight please

nicehash is at .2766 for europe

pop 10p for a bit please.

I think you will hit one.

Hmm, what makes you believe that I'll find another one just by running 10P for a few hours? I can try though. 0.2760 is indeed lower than the current break-even price.

BTW, it seems the Difficulty problems are solved now. Even a small 0.05 order starts working instantly. 0.05 causes a lot of friction, though. Which is a result of nh's distribution algo, I think. 0.25 PH/s is probably the lowest hashrate that works efficiently.

P.S.: Still not one single mmpool block on the Namecoin blockchain in sight ... 

I had a friend back in the 70s he was lucky like you.

That's why I think you would hit a quick block.

I created a mining order on nicehash and it keeps dying saying "pool difficulty too low".  How do I fix this issue?

Order # 4667267

Removed image link 11/1/2023

Is the mmpool server located in the US or Europe?

pool op needs to up  the diff he uses
better yet  just give use 2 mining address one for under 10th and one for over 10th

Don't worry about location. In the past I've found blocks for mmpool via both US as well as Europe orders.

I created a mining order on nicehash and it keeps dying saying "pool difficulty too low".

Same problem here. Nicehash frequently change the starting and/or working difficulty, therefore:
@mmpool, is there a chance we get a parameter "initial difficulty" or similar? We need a solution for a reliable nh compatibility. On the other hand we don't want to exclude the small miners and hardware owners who need lower Difficulty values.
Alternatively, see philipma1957's idea (2 mining addresses).

[bigdaddymccarron]

ok, so for now all I can do is let it continue until it finishes?

New min difficulty should be >= 262144

[cassini]

Keep an eye on the current Delta value of the order. If it is higher than 2 % then you lose money because of frequently rejected bridges (caused by the Difficulty issue). In this case you better delete the order, and don't create new orders before mmpool finds a fix. Deleting an order automatically gets you a refund for the unused BTC amount of that order.

[bigdaddymccarron]

Well crap...too late now my second BTC order is just about done.  I pretty much broke even.  Is it even possible to hit a block with an S7 anymore?

sure   just very unlikely.

4700/10,399,832,230

or 2,212,730 to 1  chance for each block

 about 15,366 to 1 each day -----------------1 s7

47 th is about 1537 to one each day ------- 10 s7

470 th is about  153.7 to one each day ---- 100 s7

4700 th is about 15.37 to one each day ---  1000 s7

I wish op would make 3   ports

   3333 for under  10th   say    8000 diff
   3334 for 10th to 50th  say  32000 diff
   3335 for            50th   say 320000 diff

I like to point my sidehack compac stick here 24/7/365  they add to 32000 gh . 32gh

 and drop out a lot

I am showing Jonny’s pool cause he is doing a couple of ports so my four usb sticks do not drop out with his pool.

While I appreciate the shout out, you're posting on the MMPool thread, Phil

PS - if you really *do* point your 32000GH (are you sure you got that number right - that's 32TH) to my pool, then there's a serious issue... since I've never seen you on my pool 24/7/365.  I see you on there quite a bit with rentals, but not a constant 32TH.

I like your pool and his pool.

I point hash at both quite a bit.

At this time I have lost the ability to keep hashing at mmpool.

And I have the ability to mine on yours small like sticks or big with rentals.

[bigdaddymccarron]

@philipma1957 where did you get the number 15,366 from in your post above?  Are your stick miners the Gekko 2pac sticks?

[philipma1957]

I have four sticks three compacs and a two pac

Mmpool.org
Bravo-mining
Cksolopool

All have bonus if you hit a block.

So I point the sticks at these pools.

At the moment mmpool is not working well with low hash or high rentals.

I am hoping it is fixed.

 The hot wallet is being topped up and the BTC should be available for withdraw when that's done.

Did you post in the wrong thread?

I bumped the minimum difficulty up for nicehash but it sounds like there are still issues. I'll look at running a higher difficulty port specifically for nicehash.

yeah  maybe   50th  and higher with a special port

Note 2016-07-14: The pool continues to mine bitcoins but merge mining is temporarily disabled. No alt coins are currently being mined. Due to issues with the upgrade to recent bitcoin daemons and out of date alt coin code the pool needs some code changes before it can be re-enabled. This work is currently underway.

mmpool.org allows you to merge mine for a number of different bitcoin-derived virtual currencies. The pool provides the Pay Per Share (PPS) method for the alternate merge mined coins and the Double Geometric Method at a 1.5% fee for the bitcoin portion of the reward. Transaction fees in mined blocks are awarded to the miner that found the block. A portion of the DGM reward is paid out as PPS to provide a regular BTC income during long blocks.

• Stratum protocol for mining mmpool.org:3333
• DGM reward method
• All transaction fees paid to miner that finds the block
• No withdrawal fees
• 1.5% fee for bitcoin rewards
• Variable difficulty mining with automatic adjustment
• Temporarily disabled: Merge mining with Namecoin, Ixcoin, Devcoin, I0coin, Groupcoin, Unobtanium and Syscoin 2.0
• Simple registration. Just provide your coin payout addresses for the coins you want to receive.
• Access via TOR using hidden service phkttm64gbquasaq.onion
• Hashrate and block found monitoring available by the excellent bitmonitor service.

The pool broadcasts updates via bitmessage on address BM-NBs7aHtbw6x7beefygEC4Cv6Rsp2dZni and receives support requests on that same address. Email is actioned at admin@mmpool.org.

Nice pool. Hope to see more people in it!

[preshpresh]

ive just plugged in my old sp20e and its connected to mmpool very easily but my stats arent showing on the webpage.

any ideas or updates i mightve missed or ??



e2a - after hours of fiddling, and within seconds of posting, my hashrate has appeared.

how do i see/change what address i used for payouts?

[kryptogeld]

Firstly, thanks for this pool! I'm using it for years now, it's reliable and neat with its merge mining feature. Just would hope more would use it, 90-100 currently is really low.

Now about my proposal:

I think payout of 0.00500000 is just too high. Mining with 57GH/s for a month now, I got 0.0005. That's not the problem for me, but my first possible payout will be in 10 months. Possibly more, as the diff is rising and rising.

Please change the payout rules as follows:

The minimum withdrawal amount for each currency is 0.00100000 except for Namecoin and Devcoin which are 0.01000000 and 1.00000000 respectively.

Appreciate! Please think about the small proud miners like us!

Thanks kindly

[f4]

I guess it's a good idea to lower the payout threshold, as the Price of Bitcoin is drastically higher then back in the day when this pool started.

Will the merged mining feature be activated some time again?

[mmpool]

Pool will be down for a short time while some maintenance on the servers goes ahead. I'll edit this post when it's back up. I expect about an hour.

Edit: Pool is back up now.
