Can we increase the minimum threshold payment its starting to be expensive all these small payment with .1 fees!

We pay the 0.1 XMR fee from the pool to your wallet.
As a pool, we can pay over 100 people in one transaction with the same 0.1 fee.

If you are worried about sending from your wallet to the exchange, you can wait to have more XMR on your wallet or simply wait for the devs to lower the fees.

Are there any plans to allow direct payments to exchanges like Poloniex?

We thought about it long ago but we didn't do it because it is a big risk.
It means that the server will hold a LOT of money. Any place with money become the target of hackers.
Right now we pay every hours so there is not enough money to be worth attacking the wallet.

Do you guys want to take the risk ?

Payment every 3 hours is good.

I know I personally would as having to create / manage all these wallets are a pain.

aaaand now it's working, nothing done differently... derp

Anyone know what on earth is going on with the pool? The network pool hash rate is 3.5 MH/sec where it normally sits over 6 MH/s.
Normally my hash rate is around 17 KH/s where its now sitting on 12 KH/s. Whats going on?

It's been at 6MH and over temporally because we were doing some testing with a Chinese that has a very big RIG.

It is a little lower than other days because of the low price of XMR/BTC added with the low price of USD/BTC.
Some RIG are automated to shutdown when mining is not profitable and go back online when it is.

Your hashrate is only an estimate. It goes up and down all the time. It only matter how many XMR you get at the end of the day.
As the global hashrate of Monero is less that some days ago, it is a good time to mine and hold.

How big is the rig (hash rat)? Is it a FPGA?

There is no FPGA for Monero, only CPU and GPU.
He has about 3.5 - 4 MH.
I know... crazy.

So that is not 1 rig, but a farm?

Yes sorry I mean a farm. A big farm.

If I switch my dev farm to http://dwarfpool.com  I get over > 17 khs. If i switch it back to monero.crypto-pool.f, 12 khs. It normally sits around 17khs for your pool.
I do understand that its an estimate, but that is a BIG difference.

I already noticed that hash is different depending on the pool, the time you mine and also your distance (ping) from the pool.
But you're right, this difference is too big in your case. Could you please mine at different pools and report me the hash you get via PM ?
Is there still a difference right now ?

I use dwarf pool, for a day or two, the displayed hash rate is about 20% lower than usual. The mined XMR is also lower. My rigs are the same. It has recovered now.

Thx for the info.
The luck is unpredictable and instable, therefore a pool efficiency vary from a day to an other.
I don't have anything against other pool but what strike me is that DwarfPool claim to be very transparent but doesn't display the efficiency and not even the luck... so how do users compare ?

The only real measure for you miners is how much Monero you get per 24h. The other stats doesn't mean much IMO.

I'll let it sit for a few days to have a fair comparison. The one thing that i found interesting @ http://dwarfpool.com/xmr
..
You can determine your rigs separately for better vardiff, lower rejects and detailed statistic. Use username with any number (integer, any random number): WALLET . WORKER-ID
..

So I've done that and mined directly to the exchange (walletaddress.paymentid.workernumber).
Personally I like using monero.crypto-pool.fr and I was wondering if there's a roadmap of features you have planned.

Concerning new features, feel free to request via PM and we'll ask here if other miners want it too.
Apart from the deposit on mining exchange, I haven't been asked much so I guess the majority of people are satisfied.

Well.. If you check http://dwarfpool.com/xmr, you can see ~40% of the "big boys" are mining direct to an exchange.
Personally, I'd love that feature as I don't have to a) pay for the first payout, and b) pay again to get it into the exchange to trade.
When 10 XMR has been mined, it gets deposited.

Some things:

 * Port 3333 starting difficulty dropped to 5000 (or even less). I have some older (non-AES cpu) machines that chug away.
 * Support for XMRADDR.PAYMENTID.WORKERID so that I can keep track of how they are performing
 * -p used for email address so that we can get notifications if a machine has not sent any shares in X minutes (you decide what is "sane").
 * The English fixed on the banner up top that cycles through features etc (correct grammer etc. It seems english isnt a first language so I'll gladly help. If you need some, PM me)

That's good suggestions.
We could do all of them but I don't know yet how long it would take.
I need to prioritize. I'll keep you updated.
