Not sure if it is a display error or not but the last block found only shows that I made 2 shares although I was hashing for the whole block duration and while hashing it did display correctly but now in my unconfirmed balance it tells a different story
For some reason the Dstm miner is no longer connecting.
Yes, I paid for hashpower to support the pool. My first time using Nicehash and it is quite weird. Not sure why the graph does not stay constant.
There is indeed an issue, though not with our pool, as you can read on our page:
“For anyone using DSTM as their mining software, there seems to be an issue with it at the moment rendering anyone using it unable to connect to any pools, we encourage you to pick a new miner for now until the issue is resolved, we’ll keep you updated if we find a fix.”

Yea, I imagine this has something to do with the dev’s connection/fee. I’ve switched to ewbf. thanks

Exactly - we have worked through the night and we just published the news update.

block, where are you?

The hashrate seems too low for me at this time to continue at the pool. If hashrate and stability increase or if there is some special future profit share for the first adopters, I might consider switching back.

What ?
from each miner
I am shocked. We had almost 4 MSol/s throughout the past 12 hours and we only found 1 block? We should have found around 6 blocks, right? This has nothing to do with luck anymore. How is this even possible?
could someone be misreporting Sol?
Impossible
We monitor hashrates very carefully
с утра статистику посмотрел также у видел обрадовался, а через час все резко поменялось печально блок 216931 2017-11-10 04:10:34 мирового 10 К / 37 М 0.00265192 ЗКЕ
4 MSol/s is almost exactly 1% of the current network hash rate, so you should be expecting to find blocks in a Poisson counting process with average rate of one block per 250 minutes. 12 hours / 250 minutes is 2.88, so only finding 1 block is not unusually unlucky (there is a probability 21.8% of finding fewer than 2 blocks in this time).

Python code to calculate the probability of finding a given number of blocks in this case:
from math import pow, e, factorial
def Poisson(k, lam):
return pow(lam, k)*pow(e, -lam)/factorial(k)
for k in xrange(10): print(k, Poisson(k, 2.88))

(This model is just an approximation and neglects factors such as latency of block propagation, but it’s a good starting point for intuition.)

Thank you so much, @daira!
You are a superstar.

@Laszlo time to switch to flypool I guess! Hard for people like me with a very low Sol/s … Good luck to you guys… will keep following the site anyway! Cheers
That is a shame. We have found many great followers and our hashrate is growing. I bought some hashrate on Nicehash this week, that is where you saw the hashrate to go above 10 MSol/s, and that was not very successful. We had a large number of short and broken shares, i.e. hashrates were added and removed very quickly (minutes), which was rubbish. NIcehash no more. Now we focus on getting high quality miners onto our platform.

True, did notice the spike and success it brought as well. Not sure abt Nicehash but worth trying is miningrigrentals.com though in case need more hashpower. Will try adding from my end as well if my stuck Bitcoins are confirmed anytime soon, lol!

Btw, what is the reward system you’re using currently on your pool? Not PPLNS right?
