[ANN] MON | Monocle | Merge Mined on VTC Vertcoin - No Premine - Scrypt-N

[dsergeevich]

Hi everyone,

Just got back from work. I see some of you may not have received payouts from my node (p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk) - I spoke to Erik and will update the scripts later tonight to lower the minimum payout threshold (even though this will result in a slightly higher proportion of payouts being used in fees - like 2% instead of 1%) and hopefully that will get some of the smaller hashers their payouts quicker. I can assure you all the scripts are definitely running, and I have made numerous payouts of both VTC and MON, so it is working, but due to the delay in coin maturity plus the minimum payout theshold, some of the smaller hashrate miners might have to wait quite some time for their first payout.

Hi, Boris
What a hashspeed at your node (p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk)?

[BorisTheSpider]

OP amended with all the new nodes that PM'd me - there's now a better selection of nodes on networks 2 and 3 which should be better for the smaller hashrate miners.

Can any pool operators who are in the wrong section (it's possible some of you got added to the p2pool network 1 if you didn't tell me which network you're on) let me know so I can move your entries under the appropriate heading.

[BorisTheSpider]

Hi, Boris
What a hashspeed at your node (p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk)?

For merged mining about 50 MH/s and for other non-merged miners another 5MH/s or so on top of that.

[mfedorov]

For those of you running proxynodes; I've pushed another bug fix for the payout scripts for proxypool...
https://github.com/erkmos/proxypool/commit/92c59e067d5a72c1cf2a5ba22db98f2b0a516699

Please make sure to check the github repo every now and then for updates and bugfixes, and if you find a bug please create an issue on github (please don't use these for support).

Got 60MON but then at 4AM I stopped receiving MON. Any idea how to check if I am throwing hashes in MON?

monocled getmininginfo maybe?

Thanks.

Just took 5 hours to find another block with 16MON. All is normal, thank you vertcoin team for all hard work.

[BorisTheSpider]

Payout threshold lowered at p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk:9555 to 0.5 MON and a bunch of payouts just went out - should help the smaller hashrate miners get quicker payouts (but if you have a particularly low hashrate it's also worth checking out the network 2 and network 3 nodes now in the OP)

[smak]

received 2 automated vert payments from p2proxy, over 1 mon built up but no payout there yet. been mining ajust over 1/2 day i would say.

i put a few hours (3-4) in at vtcpool.co.uk and yet to see anything from that initial genesis block mining.

how did it happen to merge mined coins with bitcoin?
have they any value?

[BorisTheSpider]

how did it happen to merge mined coins with bitcoin?
have they any value?

NMC has value, IOC and IXC less so. Some of the others, very little. However most of the BTC merge coins have the same circulation as BTC, wheras MON has only 1/10th of VTC circulation, the inflation function of MON is also very different from VTC, so there are some differences that mean the XXX/BTC relationship may not directly relate.

I'll have to call BS on this, unless the ones that are getting payouts have 50mh/s...

I mined in your pool for a few hours with 5Mh/s and nothing, I mean not a single coin came in VTC or MON, check my addresses:

How long are you mining on what hash

I mined in your pool for a few hours with 5Mh/s and nothing, I mean not a single coin came in VTC or MON, check my addresses:

VTC: VayQ1YUUjJ2fwMio3VpSSMLL9nTqCoeYNC
MON: MPncN5QrbjULVrVVARvfBG8854EUqghM5c

I have been mining on stratum+tcp://p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk:9555 since Friday, May 2, 19:19 GMT. That is 1 hour after launch, so almost 20 hours now.

So far, I have the following balances:
6.43463462 VTC
10.65941561 MON

My hashrate is 2.240 MH/s.

Is this good? I am new to Vertcoin.

EDIT: Sorry, missed the decimal in my MH.

Continuing with the major hunt for my MON  

I have located the monocle debug.log file. It appears there are rpc calls?

Good for you, I posted my address so Boris could check his pool because it has no front end and we have no way at all to know what is going on

@Boristhespider

can you make a page statistic for your merged  p2pool 

thanks

[jwinterm]

can we get some more nodes on 3rd p2p network? coingiant I'm looking at you

currently mining at hashharder, almost up to 4 MON now...

ymer sorry you didn't get your payouts earlier. I spoke more to Erik, it seems the share priority is an issue (some users are getting unlucky and are always at the back of the queue by chance when the CPPSRB looks back through the payable shares), basically another form of variance. - we just pushed another update to the github for the proxypool software (so other node operators may wish to update) which keeps track of which users have waited longest and queues them at the front next time round, which should markedly improve things.

I just forced a payout to you.

mysql> select user, round(sum(monvalue),8) as monbalance, round(sum(vtcvalue),8) as vtcbalance from stats_shares where user = 'VayQ1YUUjJ2fwMio3VpSSMLL9nTqCoeYNC';
+------------------------------------+------------+------------+
| user                               | monbalance | vtcbalance |
+------------------------------------+------------+------------+
| VayQ1YUUjJ2fwMio3VpSSMLL9nTqCoeYNC | 1.64460329 | 1.19135553 |
+------------------------------------+------------+------------+
1 row in set (0.13 sec)

So you've been paid out your full balances of both VTC and MON now.

[riskyfire]

Hi,

I have three mining rigs that run at 170khs, 550 & 900
Is it best for each to mine with a different VTC address as the user name or put them all under the same user name VTC address? I'm running them all on the p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk

Thanks

Cube Pool (vtc.cubeconnex.com:9555) Updates

This is an update to all miners.

The system is updated with the latest software upgrade including the payment scheduling enhancement.  There are a few users who are not getting their MONs because they 'were unlucky' and always at the back of the queue when the payout run start.  They would be missed out when the payout stops.  

This system update will correct this problem - users have waited longest will be queued at the front of a next payout run.  

The pool has also lower the threshold for MON tx from 1.0 to 0.5.  Again, this means that you can get your MONs faster and more frequently.

Stay tuned.

Cheers!

I mined for about 9 hours on there last night and got nothing, sticking with hashharder for now since you can actually track things there..
