Pool- Luckpool.org: Solo Mining Block Rewards

Thanks. Very excited. :slight_smile: Hope to find a few more. Would be awesome to find couple blocks a week. I know it may not happen for a while though. Pool looks to be down no stats showing. Is everything OK?

Glad to have you aboard. Yes the pool is operating fine. I am making some edits to the front-end so you may see some short periods where the stats go away.

As long as your miners report a connection to the pool everything is running internally.

Your block will process once it matures to 100 (You can follow the blocks found after yours on the main stats page)

Awesome. Looking forward to that deposit. :slight_smile: Been using suprnova since launch but will stay for a few days to see what happens.

So its a pyramid!?! Great!

Hey everyone! I have been working on new features and have now rolled out the first to www.luckpool.org. Since a lot of people have been asking me to calculate how long it will take their hash to find a block, I have added a ā€œLuckā€ parameter to the worker stats that will estimate how long it will take you to find a block in days.

Including the total pool luck

Stay posted for an entirely new share reporting method on zogpool in the next couple of days as well.

Cheers!

Transaction history not showing for me now.

This may be by design or it is a bug with eXtremal pools. If you notice the last block to luckpool still has a txid for payouts. LuckPool - hush, komodo, votecoin, zcash, zclassic

www.coinsforall.io seems to experience the same feature/issue.

Looks like the api calls return after some ttl and the tx payout stats may not persist.

I’ll look into it more later.

I like the idea of rewards for finding blocks,sometimes I was thinking myself

hi, i’m a newbie here, i try to mining in zogpool.org
i run the worker for 1 hour, but i don’t see the balance
I don’t understand the ā€˜block’ found, i see the last block was found by zogpool was 5d ago.
So if we don’t find a new block we can’t get the balance?

Zogpool now reports a share score. A share score is calculated by not only the number of shares you have collected but how much each share is worth. For example

``share value: 11
share hash: 00373b8eaf53803ef319ac1e4f4835bbfad81db8249055c8aa13c33adefebed9
share gen coins: 0
share score: 5505```

The lower your target the more value your share is worth.

Cheers!

Correct. I do not take the risk of not finding a block like larger pools because the pools are not currently worth the risk. It is possible that zogpool never finds a block at the current solution rate. (although if you read up on the posts you will see I have added metrics to show probability stats on sols and expected time to find a block, only applicable to luckpool)

But when the pool does find a block the pay is much higher than larger pools.

Post sounds a bit discouraging but best to be honest I suppose,I found my first block after 3 weeks mining with 2600s/s on suprnova yesterday so it can be done,have another 6 rx 480 to setup tomorrow just to tired tonight,thinking of trying your solo pool as rewards at pools are very low with difficulty so high and rising it seems like a good idea

Don’t get me wrong I have seen 200 sol/s snag a block before. It certainly can be done. But I clearly added probability stats that shows perhaps less than favorable odds when you look at it.

But I am not trying to hide peoples true probability of finding a block. It may take longer or it may take less, luckpool and zogpool (until it reaches a higher solution rate) are gambles.

I currently point my 2k sol/s at zogpool.

Thanks for the share scores. Keep up the good work :slight_smile:

It means nothing. Miner can find a block right after start, in several minutes. But sure it can also find nothing for a much longer period than 255 days. So everyone just believe in your luck and go ahead! :sunglasses:

My miner switched over to Failover at some point while I was out and ran on Flypool for maybe 6 hours, but they report nothing in the ā€œlast hourā€ wth?

Yeah stats are just stats. We just found a block on zogpool with 4k sol/s

I wasn’t really expecting one this week. Yay!

Are you planning to implement the ā€˜luck’ stat at ZP too? I like it.

Pool luck statistic is now live on zogpool in replacement of the difficulty stat.

Payments have been sent for block 20600.

Cheers

Over the past 3 or 4 days, I think ZP’s hash has more than doubled. I know there’s still a long way to go before this can really take root, but that’s progress at least.

Do you or the other devs have a pet? I know it’s going to sound cheesy, but I think a mascot might help. A shot of a dog at the keyboard in with zcashd running or a cat fiddling with risers might be just the ticket.
