[maru]

these are the pools I prefer to use. 

I find them reliable, with consistent payouts, and good returns. kindly share your favorite pools as well :)

dogecoin (I purposely set my miners for doge only): 

1) multipool = https://www.multipool.us

down for the past few hours, but solid delivery when online. this is my number one option. come to think of it, this was the only time I saw them go offline since I started mining.

2) netcode = doge.netcodepool.org

sometimes not available. but payouts are consistent.

litecoin

1) givemecoins = https://give-me-coins.com

one of the best out there. no complaints on my end. never found the need to use anything else.

[thebackground]

Cool. ill create a pool compilation for all coins on top of this thread.
permission to copy all listed pools so that i can put them in one post on top.
Salamat

[jono...@gmail.com]

Kagabi when I installed cgminer and ran it for the first time, natyempo na down si multipool so I tried others.. I ended up in

dogehouse.org

I dunno enough about pools to recommend or tell people off.. sa experience ko lang, mabilis bilis naman yun processing ng application ko. Easy to setup. They made the mine.bat file for me.  I ran it, got it working, then created conf file. Tapos from there experiment ng settings.

Sa putol putol na mining session ko (I'm still tweaking), meron na raw ako na mina na 17.7 confirmed and 21.2 unconfirmed.

Question lang mga sir: should I switch pools at this time and try multipool (when the go back online) ? KC multipool is very highly rated.

Thanks in advance! =)

[maru]

@jonong168

I would suggest running your miner for a particular pool for 24 hours. then compare results regarding coins mined. this is how I am doing it. I do not rely on khash value reflected on the pool website, because in the end, the number of coins you receive is still the most important thing in mining :)

keep in mind that particular pools will be charging a mining rate and a withdrawal rate. that will affect the number of coins going to your wallet.

reliability of the pool is also important. if the pool is down most of the time, your coin output will suffer.

and some pools can run off with your coins so beware of this.

multipool is ok because it is established and the chances of it running off is probably small compared to the smaller, less-known pools. but it has downtimes and finicky connection issues just like all other pools. but I find them very reliable.

try and see what pool gives you the best coin output.

@maru

Thanks v.much for the advice. I'll do as u say starting .. tomorrow na cguro since I failed to record my progress today.

In the meantime I'll sign up for multipool na rin. =)

Cheers!

[Anti Online]

guys ano pa ba ibang magandang pool aside sa multipool?

[thebackground]

what coin po?
Currently I'm in dogehouse.org for doge 

and for WDC - mineworks.co (formerly scharmbeck, now it is managed by nut2-  a prominent name in pool business) 

[Anti Online]

yung multi coins na pool din sana..kasi ang nakikita ko pa lang na multi coins na pool is multipool and poolwarz.. tnx tnx

[Anti Online]

waaaahh ano kaya nangyari sa cryptsy bakit bad gateway...

[thebackground]

nag uupdate yata sila. be patient ;)

[Man Paxz]

update update sila tsk tsk..

[thebackground]

according kay bigVern - "We are performing some updates, you may get logged out during this process"

[maru]

thanks bro the background for the update on dogehouse :) pede na nga magregister sa pool nila.

[thebackground]

yes :) open n ulit registration pra dun sa give away nila

[maru]

may issue pala between Dogehouse and Cryptsy, I just read the updates on the Dogehouse dashboard page:

Cryptsy broke their promise of resolving deposits/withdrawals again - so we are again warning you - stop using them until they fix their issues!

anyone knows what this is about?

so far ok pa naman ang deposits and withdrawals ko sa Cryptsy. am I missing something here?

[thebackground]

I tried to deposit 50k and 40k doge coins sa crypsty..kahapon pa to.
yung 50k dumating na this morning, yung 40k naliligaw pa :)

The issue is di nkakapagsynch ang doge wallet nila. sa sobrang dami ng gumagamit.
kya ambagal. dont worry di nman mwwala ang coins mo as long as nasa blockchain nman.

[Anti Online]

yup delayed lang yung deposits ni crypsy due to oversized na yung doge wallet nila. nagcreate ako kahapon ng ticket regarding sa deposit ko and nagreply sila hinihingi nila yung deposit info ko and naginclude din sila ng link sa blog nila..based sa blog kaya daw delayed yung deposits sa doge kasi nga sa oversized wallet nila kaya gumawa sila ng bagong wallet and inadvise nila na mag generate ng bagong doge address para dun sa bagong wallet.. anyway, eto yung link ng blog nila you can read their explanation nlng http://blog.cryptsy.com/

[Jade Cereno]

Multipool down yung front end nila :l

[thebackground]

OK na  si dogehouse... buti nman.
Feeling ko kasi tlga nananakawan ako sa multipool.

[nonsense91]

dogehouse at multipool parehas lang ng output sakin, pero halos 60% lang sila ng nakukuha ko sa suchmine

[jono...@gmail.com]

@non91

thx sa tip i guess i'll try suchmine tomorrow, nakaka lungkot yun baba ng mining productivity after the halving, any help greatly appreciated =)

[nonsense91]

@jono

kung sa suchmine ka mag mine babaaan mo lang auto pay-out mo, medyo nagkakaproblema sila sa pay-outs eh, at wag mo iderecta sa exchange site pay-out address mo, dapat sa wallet mo talaga

[nermi]

@nonsense

tinesting ko ito.. direkta sa bter ung address.. till now d pa rin nag nadating sa bter site.. anu po ba best na gawin pag ganto ?

[jono...@gmail.com]

@ nonsense

ooopps! wait i'll postpone trying them haha kung ganun  XD  thanks for hte warning! hehe

[nonsense91]

@nermi

yan ang problema pag directa sa mga exchange site kasi mejo matagal talaga magreflect mga deposit sa kanila, kung may TX# walang problema yun, kung wala email mo lang mga moderators or contact them on reddit

@jono

ok naman na sya ngaun, nakapag pay-out naman na mga tao, pero meron pang isang unresolved pay-out sakin, papunta pa naman sa wallet ng cryptsy ung sakin, wala pang TX#

@all

paulit-ulit na tong paalala, wag natin gamiting wallet ang mga exchange site kasi pwede silang mag sara at mawala na mga coins, basahin nyo na lang kung anung nangyari sa mt. gox, andami pa nilang hawak na BTC ng mga users nila

[thebackground]

basta dont direct your pool to exchange... gling mismo sa knila na wag gawin to.
So pag naligaw coins mo. wala kang laban. kasi sinabihan kna nila.
better use some online wallets (though less secured) use at your own risk nlang.

[Wowie Na-orbe]

Down pa rin Registration sa Dogehouse?

Sayang.

V V

[thebackground]

oo nga po eh. once in a bluemoon nlang din silang magbukas :) try mo po ibang pool

[Anti Online]

nagdown yung registration ng dogehouse siguro dahil dun sa fork na nangyari sa dogecoin and even payouts nga nakahold sa dogehouse..

"There was a fork on the DOGE Network! After consensus from all pools we are now running against a particular chain that we chose. Payouts will be stopped until the devs release more info about the fork!"

[Nonoy]

from suchmine: 

"Every valid share you submit to this pool is instantly credited to your account at the current pay-per-share (PPS) rate. This is not a pay-per-last-N-shares or round-based PPS pool: we always pay for your work, even if the pool has not yet solved enough blocks to cover the earnings generated.

We take on the risk of bad luck so you don't have to deal with variance and orphaned blocks; this is why the service requires a 4% nominal fee. Please note that PPS fees are only nominal, and cannot be compared to proportional/PPLNS fees. On those systems, miners are only rewarded when and if a block matures, but on average about 2% of all Litecoin (and dogecoin) blocks found get orphaned from the network, and therefore yield no reward. For this reason, a 4% PPS fee does not mean that we keep 4% of what our miners earn, not even in the long run."

in other words, kung sabi ng mining calculator you get 198 doge/hr @ 1000kh/s, you would get that amount less 4% (pool fee) more consistently

you dont have to worry about orphaned blocks, or blocks with actual little amount in doge, or blocks with more than 100% actual shares

pag mine mo, credit agad sa iyo, just tried it now and immedietely got doge in the first 5 mins, dont have to wait for the round to be completed

if you want consistency, looks like this is a good mining pool

[Slide Gurtiza]

p2pool, really.  set up your own node and you don't have to bother with fees.  ever.

[Wein Strider]

@nonoy 

anong mining pool yan??

[Slide Gurtiza]

suchmine.  nasa taas nung post niya.

[Nonoy]

slide agreed, i was initially connected to a p2pool kaya lang taas ng ping ko (200+) so i was getting lots of rejects, i was getting 200doge for every 5hrs, i read its better kung mga 50s ang ping, dito pala ako nag connect for p2pool   http://doge.st/serverstats#DFbkKKn9kUeJT8nbzcjV7TNjq3ouTiaw3h

sa suchmine, im getting 200 doge every 4 hrs, so mukhang mas ok ako sa suchmine for now

baka may p2pool node kang setup dyan? check ko kung ok ping ko sa iyo, then connect ako ;)

[Slide Gurtiza]

unfortunately, globe yung dsl ko.  i can't expose my ports since naka DHCP ako sa network nila (i'm getting an ip address local to globe, not a public one).  

if you're up to it, you can set up the wallet and p2pool software on your mining rig and just point your miner there.  what it does is fetches work directly from the p2pool shared blockchain via your wallet.  then your miner mines that.

[Wein Strider]

@slide @ nonoy,

nice, ako nga naka DHCP din tong internet ko 10mbps lang shared sa kapitbahay haha! walang monthly binbabayaran, pero plan ko mag pakabit para maiiwanan ko na tong mining rig ko. hehe! hirap kasi minsan pinapatay ng kapitbahay ko yung connection nila sa wifi kya need ko kumonek sa ibang wifi haha! dami ko namn reserba dito kya lang hassle pagpapalit palit. hehe!

[Nonoy]

Slide, i just setup my own node, kaya lang ang taas ng "expected time to share" ko, 9 hrs, ilan sa iyo? kapag may nakuha naman share, sulit ba?

bumalik muna ako sa suchmine, takot ako mag mine 9 hrs tapos walang result, getting more info muna

[Slide Gurtiza]

odd.  complete ba yung dogecoind blocks mo?  time to share sa akin is less than 10 minutes.

[Nonoy]

the dogecoind is synched, kita ko sa "./dogecoind getinfo" pero sa p2pool may nakikita ako something like 5800 shares 4360 confirmed, baka need ko muna synch lahat, i think yan ang ibig nilang sabihin na mga forum na patakbuhin muna ng 24hrs ang p2pool

[Wein Strider]

wala daw nag generate na coins sa doge kaya ganun, or sabi ng iba sa akin tumaas daw ang difficulty at matagal daw matabas yung iba sa blocks na mahirap kya ganun daw matagal daw yung doge coin natin sa share lumitaw ako ganyan 3hours bago ko makuha yung share ko. nakakatakot naman pag wala palang gumagamit ng doge coin naka teng ga lang videocard natin? nag aabang ng blockchain 

[Slide Gurtiza]

i doubt that's true.  the  speed of block completion depends on the amount of hash power hitting it and luck.  and the difficulty is just 1064.  if your pool took three hours, it means the pool hash rate is low.  if you were on p2pool, that's fine, since kaunti lang kayo maghahati sa block rewards.

[Wein Strider]

Guys,

My worker got banned from dogepoolerino pool, i dont know why... after 250,000 block we resolved 3.9 doge lang binigay. nice... parang gusto ko ng lumipat ng pool, 5hours ago meron akong mine ng 3hours hindi nabayaran dyan sa pool site n yan. tpos na ban pa ako? lilipat na me ng ibang mining pool. how inconsiderate nila. grabe

[Slide Gurtiza]

your worker got banned, not your account. workers get banned if you have too many rejects. you're doing 14%, that's high. work your config, try lowering intensity and shoot for less than that

[Wein Strider]

@slide

thanks slide for the advise. i will work on my intensity settings for my config.

[Nonoy]

Poolerino has a good luck lately on the blocks being found.  the actual shares have been lower than the estimates so more doge, also they have a finder bonus of 5000 doge, might want to try it out for a day

Block overview percentage in last 24 hrs 51.15%

Block overview percentage in last 7 days 94.10%

in one round i got 404 doge, round was done in 13 minutes and my hash is just 392 kh/s

based on the mining calc, i should get 404 doge in 4.5 hrs

[Wein Strider]

@nonoy

doge.poolerino is my main mining pool since i started 3days ago, I was one of the lucky guy who receive a 1,000 doge coin for my gudluck blocks found. I recently learned it after checking the finders on the site that I was one of the lucky few. hehe! mining at hashrate of 477 on my 270x

[maru]

some observations:

24 hour mining at give-me-coins for purely litecoin x 24 hours = equivalent BTC 0.02

24 hour mining at wafflepool for altcoins coverted to btc x 24 hours = BTC 0.01

[Wein Strider]

@maru

so this shows that mining directly to LTC for example gains more profit than relying to switchpools.

right?

[maru]

@Wein

this is based from my experience and rigs used. a lot of factors can influence the pool returns in a particular day, most especially the exchange rate. also, pool reliability is a big factor. if during the day the pool switches off for some reason, the returns can be lower than expected.

but yes, since this is the result of my personal experiment, I am exclusively mining litecoins today :)

maybe others can chime in their experiences as well... 

[Jade Cereno]

May tanong lang ako..

Yung clevermining.com, anung minamine nila? all scrypt?

[Slide Gurtiza]

yup

[maru]

guys this is a new pool. thanks to my cousin for the link!

https://ipominer.com/

they say better profits compared to multipool, the sister company.

anyone with experience regarding this switchpool?

[Anti Online]

@maru uu nga sister company nga ng multipool yang ipominer...same website template..ahehe anyway, hindi muna siguro ako magmmine dyan s pool na yan kasi yung ibang coins nya hindi pa available sa cryptsy hindi ko pa mapapalitan yan to btc.. like for example yung currently being mined nila na ecc..hindi ko alam kung saan yan pwede ipagpalit may kailangan kasing bayarang kuryente :( sa ngayon stay muna ako sa multipool

[Wein Strider]

@anti online,

curious lang po how much kuryente mo sa pag mine mo after 1month sa mining rig mo? hehe! 

mas mataas ba ang profit kesa sa cost sa kuryente? 

[Slide Gurtiza]

not sure if just lucky or the fixening did something really good:  started mining doge p2pool this morning.  quickly got a share (less than an hour) and have earned 2938.02268718 in just 5 hours.  that's 587.604537436 per hour, 14102.508898464 per day. 0.01784849 btc per day @ 127 satoshi!

EDIT:  mining with 1.473 MH/s, WU of 1345/m

EDIT:  oops, pasted the wrong value.

[Anti Online]

@Wein almost P1500 ang nadagdag sa bill ko sa kuryente..about nmn sa profit, I only have 1 rig with 1 r9 270 plus an internet na nagloloko down lagi kaya hindi ko pa masasabi na kumikita yung rig ko kasi madalas nagddown yung internet ko pag andito ako sa office kaya hindi ko nababantayan. sa ngayon nagpalit na ako ng internet provider and parang nakuha ko na rin yung sweetspot ng VC ko kaya ngayon ko pa lang malalaman kung profitable ba talaga para sakin.

[Nonoy]

problema ko din yan, stable internet connection,lalo na 12pm to 6pm, gamit ko lang kasi globe 4g na USB stick, kailangan bantayan ko, pag nakikita ko marami reject alam ko na nagloloko nanaman connection, mag disconnect reconnect nanaman ako sa modem

slide, p2pool using own node or sa doge.st ka connect?

[Slide Gurtiza]

http://153.121.46.182:22550/  --this

mataas ping at rejects ko sa doge.st, this pool gives me <5%.  I had to reduce my intensity to 16 to get low rejects, but the gains are substantial at maliit lang yung binaba ng hash rate.

i want to run my own node, pero ubos na yung space ng usb drive ko pag nilagyan ko na ng wallet.  ang laki na ng dogecoin blockchain.

[Nonoy]

alright! 154ms ping ko dyan, better than doge.st, much thanks! will try that later, may tinetest pa akong pool now, wanna run it for 24 hrs :)

oo nga, more than 3Gb na size ng dogecoin folder ko :(

[Slide Gurtiza]

after 24 hours of dogecoin p2pool mining and sharing bandwidth with my kids that were hogging youtube (pokemon and my little pony) and enduring ~15% rejects, here are the results at 1.4MH/s:

8981.89103215 DOGE, 0.0114070016 BTC @ 127 satoshi.  that turns out to 0.0081478583 BTC/Mh/s/day.

[Wein Strider]

@anti online,

thanks for the figures. I may also wait for my electricity bill once they came in and compare my previous months usage if its indeed the price per day indicated by the coinwars.com site.

@maru

thanks for answering my question.

[maru]

jumped into multipool mining thru multipool and ipominer sites courtesy of my cousin to improve my gains. so far it is working better than ltc mining returns.

[Jade Cereno]

Soo is that better income that last time??? Doge is on a plunge lately.. :/
