Diamond (DMD) NOMP pool beta test

[utahjohn]

Diamond V2 groestl NOMP pool is in beta testing right now
Be sure to use a valid DMD address!

A couple of notes regarding beta pool:
1. You need to use the (Danbi) sph_sgminer provided on the Diamond Thread.
2. Do use "difficulty-multiplier" : "0.00390625",
3. Do NOT use "normal-hashing" : true,
4. Do use "kernel" : "diamond",
5. Some of the stats pages are displaying hashrate incorrectly (graph) divide pool hashrate by 256 to get correct value.
    I am currently working on fixing up and improving the stats pages.
6. As this is beta testing ymmv.
7. The payout threshold is now set to 1 DMD.  The beta testing winners have been posted and bonus payouts sent
    Payout calculation run every hour.  This is PPS so you got to stay with it
    Only workers who have participated in finding block will have shares that count toward the block payout.
    Orphaned blocks are not paid.  
8. Worker stats are for the current block only.
9. Pool fee 1% to cover transaction costs and get static IP and domain name. (My ISP expensive).
10. Difficulty is 16 to begin with vardiff enabled ...

If you wish to participate in beta testing go to http://utahjohn.ddns.net:8080

I am offering a bonus to first 5 blockfinders of 1 DMD
My testing base so far (utahjohn) and (jepistons) I have DMD addresses logged for first 5 miners excluding myself

Next project open another port for MPOS NOMP pool ...

out of curiosity, why not use the standard difficulty number ?

thanks

The light dawns ... had a good nap ... I think I was using std diff when in alpha testing and finding valid blocks (I don't have a .tgz of pool from alpha )  Going to try fallback to old config.
I think I was using normal diff and "difficulty-multiplier" during alpha ... going back to sleep, can't get the fog out of my head this morning.

After a few beers for breakfast I am now keeping .tgz of pool after every change so I can revert (I'm old and forgetful LOL) ...

[utahjohn]

Looking back at previous work, I may have to use "difficulty-multipler" :"(1/256)" , and remove "normal-hashing" on miner end and use normal diff at server end.

[utahjohn]

changed difficulty at pool end to 16, changed miner conf to difficulty-multiplier to 0.00390625 and removed normalhashing. Shares being accepted at pool Will see if I find blocks like I was during alpha ...

80MH/s is working by the looks but not showing up on your stats.

2. Do use "difficulty-multiplier" : "0.00390625",
3. Do NOT use "normal-hashing" : true,

Otherwise server will ignore quietly.
What's your DMD address I'll look at logs.

First two address are me, 3rd is Jepistons

Hope we find a block ...

[popshot]

The difficulty is very high so will take a while to find one.
I keep my fingers crossed for your success.

First block on my DMD testing pool found, Looking thru log to see who it was  and bonus will be sent to tester when block confirmed
Only 4 more DMD left for bonus now ... so get in while you can (only 1 DMD bonus each for first 5 block finders).

It was dP4Nd5jXyQyMEunf9iXnRxRKjxsenJaeY2 (that's me)  
So 5 DMD total still available for bonus  

[utahjohn]

good news 4th block found, I have recorded finder DMD address and they are first to get a reward from me when block confirmed (I'm not counting myself towards reward, just beta testers who have joined in).

Congrats to dDzf.....

3.3333333 now remaining in bonus rewards to finder of 5th block (I have found 3 of 4).

First block confirmed and payouts sent
I can verify my payment sent to miner wallet and donation wallet

[utahjohn]

Congrats to dDzf6pvTV63wFFw3nTZyGv4ZysKitnySPZ for finding 4th block
I just received first payout 1st confirmed block from pool so I can verify that is working
payments sent to:
dETfZeUtj21VyKFDCQgJEJmYspVv5z1jU4: 0.456172 (unknown)
dP4Nd5jXyQyMEunf9iXnRxRKjxsenJaeY2: 0.532829 (myself)

I'm upping the payout threshold to 1 DMD in a few hours so transaction fees don't eat me up (Seeded pool wallet to make sure transaction fees covered).

[utahjohn]

OK beta testing contest now over, 5th block found
1. dP4Nd5jXyQyMEunf9iXnRxRKjxsenJaeY2 (myself 280x)
2. dP4Nd5jXyQyMEunf9iXnRxRKjxsenJaeY2 (myself 280x)
3. daiS6NQKDMyfr1tsGfVPbM9ZHCwakFrsQa (myself 7950)
4. dDzf6pvTV63wFFw3nTZyGv4ZysKitnySPZ (unknown)
5. dP4Nd5jXyQyMEunf9iXnRxRKjxsenJaeY2 (myself 280x)

What I propose to the community is that
dTLFMeNv3K3JMan12yUW1Ry88s57x9w2Xg (jepistons) also be included in the bonus payouts since this was first beta tester to join me on pool.  I propose a 0.5 DMD bonus for him/her whatever LOL out of the 5 DMD that was originally promised.
Let me know if you think this is fair
Of the 5 first blocks found 3 are confirmed atm.  
I will be making bonus payouts on confirmation of all 5.
This leaves 4.5 DMD to dDzf6pvTV63wFFw3nTZyGv4ZysKitnySPZ congrats  

Show me some DMD love by donating to dJC3rWSnTLb2gfyrUFuVvsGUeMwqApBsU9 (my pool donation wallet).

I am sending beta testing rewards to block 4 finder and Jepistons

All good from what I can tell on my pool.

[utahjohn]

Good morning, beta pool payout sent to 4 miners testing while I was sleeping

Utahjohn, is your pool ready to go public?
Let me know when to include it in the OP.

I think it is ready for public consumption but I remain in beta while fixing cosmetic issues and a few minor things I had to seed the pool wallet with a lot of coins to get payouts running and am now looking at why this was needed.  No worries, pool is working properly so yes if you would like to generate some traffic for me yes open it to public on OP.  I am USA West.

Due to normal miner variance and vardiff also be enabled the worker stats fluctuate wildly ... this is normal

Please use the link to my testing thread (in sig) as that is where updates to pool will be found first ...

I like the no frills no registration approach to mining and cosmetic issues are lower priority on my list of work to be done
