[ANN][AUTO-SWITCH] Profit-switch auto-exchange pool: CleverMining.com

[not.you]

Has this pool been extraordinarily lucky the past week?

I have been tracking my profits in a spreadsheet for months and I only just switched to this pool a week ago from ipominer.  My profits here for the past week have been almost twice my weekly average over there going back months and months.

Altcoins mining landscape constantly changes and Litecoin mining became more profitable in the last month than it was before. That said, CleverMining usually delivers higher mining profits than you can earn anywhere else. I'm glad to read that you switched to CM and you're happy with it

I wish I had tried this pool a long time ago.  When the scrypt asic scene looked like nothing new was going to happen around the time bitmain abandoned their miner and knc's miner appeared to be so problematic I bought another 50Mhs of gear to add to what I already had since it looked like the arms race was slowing.  I'm glad I did too because it really hasn't become unprofitable for me, but after switching to this pool it looks like the lifespan just increased even more.

Will be getting a 40MH/s miner next week and will point it at CleverMining to see if its good
Then use that money to buy even more mining hardware

NEW! Setup your own difficulty
Our new stratum server has VARDIFF enabled and it should work great for most users. But if you have a miner with dozens of chips working as a single connection you might want to setup your own difficulty. You can do this by using password d=XXXX where XXXX is number between 128 and 65536 (only powers of 2 are accepted, so 128, 256, 512, etc, e.g. d=512). This will set a fixed difficulty and disable vardiff. It works per connection so you can choose separate difficulty for each of your miners.


Previous news:

We have a new, very optimized and ASIC-friendly stratum server software. Users are reporting significantly decreased rejects ratio and increased recognized hashrate. Vardiff is working again so it will adjust to any GPU and ASIC miner speed.

Original post:

After more than a month of invitation-only beta tests I'm finally happy to introduce CleverMining.

It's auto-switch Scrypt mining pool with auto-exchange to Bitcoins, excellent profitability, detailed stats, vardiff support (temporarily disabled) and payouts multiple times per day. Feedback from my beta users was awesome and they all are extremely happy with the pool.

You will find more stats on the website. I believe the numbers speak for themselves and beat other scrypt mining options. I invite everyone to join the pool!

how to set my own difficulty in cgminer?  stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS -p anything d=128 ?? I got error to long command line

how to set my own difficulty in cgminer?  stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS -p anything d=128 ?? I got error to long command line

1. You probably don't need and don't want to use custom difficulty. For most miners it will work best with vardiff.

2. You should try: stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS -p "d=128"

Hi,

I can't get it working with custom diff...I'm using 30 GridSeeds and I use cpuminer (minerd-gc3355). My syntax is ./minerd-gc3355 --gc3355-detect --gc3355-timeout=1200 --gc3355-autotune --freq=800 --url=stratum+tcp://eu.clevermining.com:3333 --userpass=******:d=512 but it's still 1024 no matter how I try to enter d=* it looks like vardiff isn't working nor custom diff.

[lightyear2214]

Last payment 7-11-15.  What I thought to have been decentto mining is not being paid.  Please post update or emailail users on here.  My servers at 200mh/s are not running for free.  Thanks.

[shamn85]

uh where is the payment? I had the same issue, last payment received was on 11/7/15. My wallet address is 17eUeX63r8BtYf41N3f7Uvy7VdTHzh1o6B

[Terk]

I apologize for payout delay in the last two days. This is because of unscheduled server maintenance required. Payouts for all three days will be sent tonight.

[Stoneface]

Thanks for feed back, Terk
Hopefully nothing critical happens what these maintenance requires.

Great&fast answer.. Thanks.

What about for us losers that don't make the minimum daily payout balance? Will we have to wait till next week?

Ah, it was the 0.001 BTC payout missing. I'll run the next payout with 0.001 threshold as well. Thanks for reminding me.

The payout won't run on the usual time. It should run in the afternoon. I'm waiting for the blockchain to download on the new machine and it's taking longer than I expected.

[Stoneface]

Hi Terk,
I had still no payout, but maybe it takes more time for the blockchain to sync.
But i have a lot of BTC in "Unexchanged" and they are not moving to "ready for payout" for nearly two days.
and as i remember this happens more often over a day in the past.
maybe you can take a look into this.

and there is no hurry on my side, I think its better to wait a little bit then to loose something.

Hello, still no any payment...

Our software marks coins as "exchanged" after they are 1) exchanged to bitcoins AND 2) withdrawn from exchanges AND 3) our software verifies this in our BTC wallet. Points 1) and 2) did happen. Most mined coins are exchanged and are already at our addresses, so you don't need to worry about exchanging and currency rates. But 3) is still pending because of wallet maintenance. Once it's finished, statuses will be updated to exchanged and payouts will be made.

Our wallet is still downloading/synching blockchain from scratch. I could download preprocessed blockchain files from torrents to make the process quicker. This should be rather safe, but it's nowhere as safe as downloading blockchain the traditional way and validating each transaction by bitcoind software. So I prefer to do it the traditional and the most secure way.

I'm sorry but downloading/syncing blockchain takes longer than I expected. It slows down over time, because earlier blocks were smaller; recent blocks are bigger and take longer to process and it seems that progress percent reported by bitcoind is not accurrate enough to predict remaining time. My previous estimations were based on this progress status.

Trying to estimate in a different way: we still have ~31000 blocks to download and process and we do it at a rate of 2.7 seconds per block. It should take ~24 hours to complete at this speed. This speed will most likely decrease because recent blocks were full and will take more time to process per block than earlier blocks, so it might extend but I think that no longer than 36 hours.

tl;dr: I apologize for inconvenience caused by delays, but there's nothing to worry. Our wallet is syncing the blockchain from scratch and it takes time. Everything should be resolved and back to normal within 24~36 hours. All outstanding payouts will be sent at this time and the pool will return to scheduled daily payouts as usual.
