[POOL] Solo Mining - Many Coins Including The Big 3: Bitcoin Litecoin Zetacoin

Is there a reason PPC (Peercoin) is waiting until 820 confirms rather than 520 to pay out? That makes it 5-6 days instead of 3ish.

I'll try and lower it a bit.  It was originally st high to avoid transaction fees.

[devlin85]

Cool. Is there a difference between the 520 and 820? It was my understanding that 520 was fully confirmed.

I'm user PHJETm4Mg8WCqedzbP2Tep9N3WujFdvZR7 btw, and just got a payment after ~600 confirms, so from what i can gather it was 3 ppc lower than the previous at ~800, so is it really 1 ppc per day difference? I'm fine with the $1/block loss for the quicker return if that's the case.

Just checked, and for peercoin there isn't any difference at all.  Seems to be a constant 0.01 fee.  For other coins, it makes a huge difference when you let them sit for a while longer.  So I may lower peercoin even further to 550 or something.

Peercoin block are always different in reward.  For example:

https://bkchain.org/ppc/block/000000000000000b6e8917201617bfe4fbd23a67abf86d28a496ca1a12ddf742
https://bkchain.org/ppc/block/00000000000000033121483719800bfc50f6062f4c59fedc5c706440a7ddf2e0

81.14 PPC vs 77.49 PPC

I'm not familiar with the way Peercoin determines the amount.

That's great! Thanks for the info and help

Peercoin pool seems to be intermittent? Keeps going offline and taking ages to refresh

Offline meaning you can't connect to it? or the website showing as offline?
There is a check than runs every 6 minutes that probes each stratum port for an alive pool.  Occasionally it gets a false negative, but if your client is connected you will be okay.  If you get disconnected often, that's a different problem and I'd like to know more about what you are experiencing.

The statistics are not real time.  It's more of a 'push' rather than 'pull' mechanism for data collection.  It's usually a few minutes between recalculations.  This is done to allow for better scalability.  On occasion the replicated slave falls behind and will exhibit a delay in stats.  That always resolves it's self in a few minutes to an hour.  It has zero effect on your rewards.  See: http://mining.securepayment.cc/help.php for common issues.

Hey guys.  Are your stats down.  My new rig solved block 158140, with hiuge hash over diff.  Shows that the pool address found this on block explorer?  Am I going to credit for this one

I guess the stats online are a bit behind.  noticed that the vardif setting is a lot lower also.  was trying 10K, not is 1428.  Is this the norm here ?

The variable difficulty algorithm is causing all kinds of issue.  Delaying stats when a whale hops on,  weird re-adjustments from time to time, and small miners taking too long to find a share.  It's a known problem and I am moving towards removing vardiff and setting up a static difficulty that can be adjusted from the web front end.  The code has already been merged into the stratum server.  I just need to finish the web front end to manage these settings.

[vr4dude316]

Great.  I am newb, and was just curious.  keep those whales off!

rig shows a block found 7-8 hours ago, but not listed on secure solo site.  total shows, but not in list.  stats ?

Interesting, which pool?

[vr4dude316]

believe it to be Block #161963  shows securepayment peercoin pool found on blockchain, my rig shows found, but not displayed

Okay, found it.

Code:

Array
(
    [amount] => 0
    [confirmations] => 137
    [blockhash] => 000000000000000734b55ad1ea2c99af30dba315ac7042a5807968a3449bf208
    [blockindex] => 0
    [txid] => ec38d7ca904d1af8678d439b93661e4f95212bbc748596b90a9fb1bbc3fa36e7
    [time] => 1425493604
    [details] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [account] => 
                    [category] => immature
                    [amount] => 79.83
                )

        )

)

 Also see why it didn't get logged.  I'm in the process of fixing that issue.  (the pools are getting popular and the MySQL database is having trouble keeping up)
I'll manually update the database so you get properly credited for the block.

The pools aren't updating? I've been mining on the unbreakable pool for over 30 minutes and it's still saying there's no miners?

The front end database replication is lagging.  This won't effect your rewards.  I have some code updates being pushed out in the next 24 hours that will help with the recent database performance issues and add some new custom difficulty control features.

Thanks for replying quickly, You run a tight ship! Awesome pool.

[benxy031]

Hay.
How i see it all your pools have big lag.
For example i mined chococoin for one hour and find block, and my stats say zero hash and no block on pool shown.

[PANDiNSKi]

It'd be great to see the updates in the next few hours as it's important to see stats so I know whether or not to keep mining or move over to another pool.
