[ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com

[The Fat Miner]

I really hope he can take useast out of "beta" and implement auto load / latency balancing by just pointing to middlecoin soon. That would solve my issue with not being able to set up a failover server. I would prefer taking high reject rates and connecting to asia over being completely disconnected.

I'm very far from the default Middlecoin server, And was suffering because of it, So switched to the Asia server and it was perfect for a while, But now it's going down hill, If I point it back to the default server I'm back to square one

To expand on that previous idea, isn't it just using the Amazon servers? What makes the difference between them being beta and non beta?

It's about the pool software that the pool operator has put on those servers, that software is in beta.

Hmmm. My 8 rigs are all reporting rejects of less than 3%.  They all seem to be around 2% which is a tad higher than normal.  This is on useast by the way.

Your on useast right now? Its down for me..

woke up to find out rig had been kicked out of useast, and  uswest , thankfully i have a 4th and a 5th fail over so at least i was mining something

[Protagonus]

I'm curious, as I put a miner on this pool to see how it goes.  I'm used to mining from stable pools and coins, so I'm used to results.

I notice diff is 1K, so that's 0.4-0.6 WU for the best GPU (per unit) made.  That's only submitting 1 block per 1.5-2 minutes....  Isn't it odd to have a difficulty this high, when several of the coins being mined here are not above 1K difficulty for the network?

Also, I notice new blocks are being submitted every 2-6 seconds.  Doesn't it seem odd to take 90 seconds to solve a block when they come in every 4-5 seconds?  That makes a 3-4% block find chance Irrespective of pool difficulty.

Last, not been on too long but there are fairly high rejects compared to "normal" (what I'm used to);  It seems the main reason for these is high diff and short block time.

Is this normal for the pool WU compared to new block times?  Not sure if they are just switching coins fast, or just mining one of the scamcoins with low block time.

us east is also down for me , but did connect to the regular middlecoin (aka us west) i also am curious how he is using useast

[The Fat Miner]

massive rejections
asia seems also down

I've been getting bundles of lost shares due to stratum disconnects, And average hash rate is well below what it should be, Even though I reconfigured my setup today for better results, For the life of me I don't know how it can go down even though it's at least ten percent higher on my end than yesterday.

Yep.  I'm barely hitting 500mh/s on my R9 280X on the uswest.  I was running 710mh/s on useast.

Gonna be a lousy pay day today if it isn't fixed soon.

710Mh/s is actually quiet good for a 280X Is that accepted hash rate ? 500 is taking the piss, I noticed the other day he said the site would report about 10% less than it should be, Makes me wonder why and if it's a similar reason now.

do you think VPN might help？

I don't understand why he would put beta software on the other servers ? What would the reason be ? It would be nice if it could automatically redirect to the default server when issues arise.

You mean VPN to the US server ? Would it prioritise traffic ? The ping is just to much I think, I was seeing over 400ms and 25-50% lost packets in tests.

I believe it's in beta stage because it contains additional procedures to run the pool on multiple sites.
It's called beta for a reason: if one doesn't want to experiment, he can just stick to the middlecoin.com main site.

That's fair enough, It would just be nice if it could redirect that's all

I have more than 20% of reject shares

[micax1]

useast.middlecoin.com - is down for me ping there 30 ms

west - 90 ms

I have 4 rigs on 280x and 290 770-880 mhash each card 20 cards total:

- rejects are at least 5.4%

but according to :
http://stratehm.net/#

rejects are 15.3!


I have 3 questions:
why reject rate on middlecoin is bigger than in cgminer stats?
how to make reject rate minimum?
will useast (smaller ping) affect my reject rate if I finally could connect there?

ty guys!

[gsrcrxsi]

I have more than 20% of reject shares

yeah im seeing ~17% rejects right now, at least thats what the site is reporting

[micax1]

anybody have straight answer why reject rate is so high and how to avoid it?

[The Fat Miner]

My rejects went down when I connected to the Asia server, And I put it down purely to the lower ping and faster connection, But now it's unstable I've switched back to the main server and will have to suffer higher pings, Until the issues are sorted, Are all your cards low end ? Or high end ? From what I can see higher pings really effect low end cards.

EAst is back up.

Also discovered why my rate was so low . . . my CPU mining (XPM) was using 8 thread instead of 6 so I was dragging my GPU's down.  

EDIT:  Well I have one of my workers on useast, but the other won't connect, so still some problems with useast, apparently.

Is XPM worth mining ? I told my cousin to try it with an I5 4670k clocked @4.2ghz at he said it was earning pennies a day , Is he a nob and doing something wrong ? I haven't got a proper CPU around to test for myself.
