Hi starcat,

I don't know about Raven but I know about PPLNS.

First I must say that CoinFoundry is a legit pool (not a scam).

I have mined here for the last 5 months and earned almost 5 XMR. I could have earned more if I didn't jump sporadically to help the VTC pool at beginnings.
You can check my stats here.

PPLNS was design with the assumption that miners that stopped mining at a pool were hoppers. But in real life that is not always true.

The last XMR block was the perfect storm:  it required 777% effort but the reward window shrunk by a factor of 2 ( the difficulty past from 110-130B to 55B). Meaning it was a game of attrition. Only the last miners standing would get rewarded. I exhausted my allowed mining budget and had to shut my rigs off and rely on the pool to find the block. Because the diff was cut by 2... my reward (next to nothing) wasn't worth it, but finding that block was.

In the ends, I blame my management skills for putting all I got at the start of the round (which shares was all discarded at the ends).

It's not just patience...

I could (should) have put half my rigs off and be able to mine the whole time it took to find the block ...

and have _much_ better payout.

Well, I had 17B shares of effort and left with 0.00202 XMR

:(

What is this new block with same height ?

The info say "Relativity rocks!".

Thanks to everyones who didn't give up!

We did top that.. XMR pool = 777%   :)

Oliver said in another thread that

"

The fastest ASIC miners support here would be:

• Baikal Giant X10 and Antminer D3 for Dash
• Antminer L3+ for Litecoin

"

You can test-run xmrig on your servers...

[ edit  src/donate.h and set kDonateLevel = 0

  before make/build ]

You will find a setup generator on the pool page

:)

Hi Mike,

Please jump in the XMR/ Monero pool.  :)

How much hashrate do you have ?

Hi Oliver,

You should add to the miners dashboard the

total valid & invalid shares for the last 10min/ 1h/ 3h/ and/or 12h

It will help people running their tasks in background without terminal or local web server enabled...

EDIT:  or having an invalid hashrate added as a red curve on our H/s graph  (that would be cool)
