I think you should just get rid of merge mining altogether, it's clearly not beneficial to the pool, i'd rather have consistent 50% CDF and actually see some real returns, than a bunch of shitcoins which are near-worthless.

How exactly would that help the pool grow? You can just register with a BTC address if you don't wanna merge-mine. The other coins would have no effect on you then.

remind me how often bitcoin blocks are found?

Id say every 2 weeks maybe.

You are implying that merged mining and awful luck are related? How is that possible?

Merged mining shouldn't affect the pool luck at all.

Merge mining is the primary reason people mine this pool.

Yeah, I'm just confused why raskul would imply otherwise. He used to be very much for this pool. I am familiar with the mechanism behind merged mining and know it won't affect luck. There are really only two things other than luck itself that would affect luck. First is a problem with the pool itself - coding, intentional or otherwise. Second is a selfish miner attack - one or more of the bigger miners would be withholding blocks.

On this pool, selfish mining makes no sense. Someone with multiple TH of power is unlikely to waste it on such a small pool. Withholding a block means they don't get paid either. That doesn't mean it isn't or hasn't happened. People do irrational things all the time. That leaves a problem with the pool itself. We've seen this pool solve blocks before, and even with low powered miners, so coding is unlikely the issue. An intentional issue with the pool operator collecting but not reporting or paying out on solved blocks was more of a concern before the "mmpool" account started posting and modifying some things on the pool. That the pool itself is interested in succeeding is a positive sign here. That leaves just a really bad string of luck as the cause.

Removing some of the features of the pool is not going to cause miners to move here. That just makes no sense.

You don't have to mine other coins. There is absolutely no correlation between luck & merge mining whatsoever. With btc difficulty going through the roof, merge mining is an excellent way of increasing ones income at no extra expense - this is why directpool have now implemented it, as well as most other pools.

Hi guys, I've been asked to investigate what diff setting to use for 3Th/s... Does anybody have any links to a formula that can be used to work this out?

Thanks in advance!

A difficulty of aproximately 1.4 per GHash/s is reasonable, rounded to a whole number. So if you have 10 Ghash/s you should use 14. If you have 1 Ghash/s use 1. For 3 TH/s that would be 4200.

Actually, the formula was GH/s / 1.4. This would put it at about 2142.

Faster than I expected. GJDM.

The ixcoin daemon on the pool has been sporadically crashing. It was down for 5 hours earlier meaning withdrawals weren't possible. I've applied a possible fix and will monitor how it goes.

[mmpool]

mmpool has donated some ixcoin to the ixcoin developer to work on some new features of that coin. Hopefully that will help usage of it and make it more attractive to miners.

Good move.
