[ANN] [LTC] [PPS] [OTP 2FA] [Stratum only] LTCMine PPS mining pool (3.3%)

[Balthazar]

Somethings seriously wrong...





Seems to only be counting stale shares, and then on top of that rejecting them

Code:

POCLBM is the "Python OpenCL Bitcoin Miner". It has no support for scrypt mining.

Was the pool ever updated with lower fees?  Still mining here but may eventually move to coinotron for lower RBPPS.

[Balthazar]

Not yet. It was planned to implement after migration to new hardware, but we had not enough time for that at last week.   I'll move pool to new hardware at this week, if there will be no another problems.

P.S. Anyway, I think that PPS 3.3% better than RBPPS 2.5%, because of orphans...  

[Marrs]

Is it possible to set up automatic payouts with ltcmine.ru?

[Balthazar]

Not yet, but I will merge this code from pool.itzod.ru soon. Also minimum payout will be increased, because btc-e ignores transactions with volume less than 0.1 LTC.

Balthazar, mining at 1260kh/s with two 7970s  I frequently get a difficulty above 500. Isn't it a bit too much? I personally would like better something around 200 (300 at most) as for now. Or a value a bit quicker (I feel like it's very quick to climb up, but very slow to fall down).

Let me explain myself: of course even a difficulty of 2000 wouldn't be a real issue - and, some months ago, I used to BTCmine at 999-difficulty with a mining power of just about 1350Mh/s, so... go figure ))
I'm just curious about it: do you need to force so high difficulties to keep the traffic low? As the pool is growing, will they grow as well?

Thanks.

[Balthazar]

No, there is no connection between shares difficulty and the pool rate. Difficulty targeted to 6 shares per minute and recalculated every 600 seconds. If you solve more/less than 6 shares per minute, difficulty will grow/fall dynamically.

P.S. We prefer upgrading our hardware instead of difficulty increasing.

Love the pool, stales are slightly high but they are even worse on notroll + their fee is higher.

May I ask, what is the withdraw fee?

[m4dhatter]

I like this pool a lot. The stales are a lot less than notroll. I'm only getting about 2% stales here as opposed to the 7 or 8% at notroll.

[Balthazar]

May I ask, what is the withdraw fee?

There is no withdrawal fee. Pool using own hash power to confirm withdrawal transactions first.

I think that stales will be normalized after next software upgrade.

Stratum on port 80 (or 8080/443) would be really nice!

[Frizz23]

I'm getting "502 Bad Gateway" since a few hours.

When are you guys planning to be back up again?

[Marrs]

May I ask, what is the withdraw fee?

There is no withdrawal fee. Pool using own hash power to confirm withdrawal transactions first.

I was wondering why some pools have withdrawal fees and others don't... Is this a customization you've made to the pool software?

[peewee]

Same...several hours now..had to move miners.  Any status update?

Which translates to: "Pool is working (480 mh/s), just the interface was temporarily switched off because it's getting a lot of requests from the bots. Will be dealt in the evening."

Thank you

[Balthazar]

Someone really don't like us. The both LTC & BTC pools DDoS'ed.

Interface is disabled temporarily, all shares counted correctly.

[OversightNL]

Thx Balthazar, See its still connected to your pool. Any ETA on when you can get the interface back up?

[Balthazar]

This should take 2-3 hours approximately.
