Pool- Luckpool.org: Solo Mining Block Rewards

the way ethos lunch optiminer seems rather simple:

optiminer-zcash -s luckpool.org:3357 -u t1MzekBHJWzcZ3aaFuoyfEc7i8d6ngCPL4n.miner017 -p x --log-file /var/run/miner.output

what could be wrong here ?

I’m eager for the shares metric. Would also like to see global zog shares for the current block for comparison.

Happy turkey day!

I’ve switched to Flypool for the time being. For those mining for the last week, do you have a pending payment in your wallet (if using Poloniex)?

Sorry all zogpool server crashed while I was with family for the holidays. Should be back up now.

I’lll be fortifying the server when I get home so that doesn’t happen again. Beta software will have bugs. Thanks for the patience everyone.

We also really need more than 10000sols on zogpool. It’s been about 4 days since we’ve seen a block at this pace.

Luckpool on the other hand is chugging along. Seems like 40k solutions is a good spot to be at. Getting about two blocks a day at this price seems like a good deal. Let’s hope it keeps up!

Hello, Greetings to all. After 13 hours in the Zogpool pool, today I appear as the winner of a block with 8.6 Zcash. My question is what are the steps to follow.

Cheers.

None… you will get your share in due time.

Grats! I saw that you have about 400H/s a second so that is some pretty good odds for finding a block.

You will receive 0.02906852 ZEC in about 1 hour. Zcash requires 100 blocks to confirm before moving a coinbase transaction.

Ok thanks for your answer

Thank you, Correct 415 H / sun + - Okay so that’s going to be my gain for the block?

Correct, zogpool works on shares. If you had been on luckpool you would get the whole block. But you could end up mining for months at that rate with no block found and no payout on luckpool. It’s all a game of chance.

Ok,good!!! I will try to invite more people from my group to improve performance. Thanks for the support!

Payouts have been made for block #17290 on zogpool. Thanks for participating everyone.

As a note. There is an extra 0.30 zec from the block reward. I suspect that there are a few miners who have had their minimum payout threshold moved higher. I have not built an IP validation system to set the minimum payout. Of course if you missed the payout simply set the threshold lower and you will be included in the next automated payout. Payout attempts every half hour.

If you notice your payout being set often let me know and i will try to hardcode a hot fix to eliminate that while I work on new features.

Cheers.

@voxelot
how can some1 even expect 1 block winning with this

I’m not sure that i understand the question.

If you are asking how other miners are expected to compete with a 40kH/s farm… then your probability of finding a block is not affected by anyone else on the pool. A hash of an equihash solution is always an independent event and equally likely to satisfy the target.

If you are asking how someone with 40kH/s is expected to find a block with the current high difficulty. Then I’d say that the probability stats support the blocks they are finding but I don’t think that will hold for long with increasing difficulty

Keep in mind that luckpool is essentially solo mining. Perhaps pool is not the best term since no effort is pooled together. But it is a place for large farms to pool their rigs on my service

thx it was answer 1 im from qc montreal i noticed the beauharnois location

THe Canadian location (zogpool) is a share pool so if you mine on that you are not competing with larger farms but working with. Hope that helps

… it was only a neibourgh hello XD youv answer me

that was the seeked answer

Difficulty at zogpool and luckpool is still peg at 0x00800. too much bandwidth traffic. Please increase it at least 100x for gpus.
