Re: High orphan rates on FPPS Ethash

Though I can't speak for the pool, here's my .02: TLDR; This is a pool issue and has nothing to do with your miners. By "orphan" I believe you are referring to "orphan blocks". If a pool receives a proposed solution for the current block from one of its miners, it is responsible ...

Re: Ethash and PPLNS questions

FPPS becomes a combined Hashrate that is applied to the PPLNS with all those PPLNS miners. When a block is found either by PPS or PPLNS the reward is split between the PPS combined pool (to the pool) and everyone in pplns. So, essentially everything is PPLNS with all PPS miners counted as a single ...

Re: Ethash and PPLNS questions

The PPLNS statistics show "first round" because all blocks found for that coin have been through one of the other two mining modes. FPPS is by far the most popular mining mode here, because in all algorithms except the high memory version of ethash, switching between coins provides more p...

Re: Ethash and PPLNS questions

Another block found by the site 8 hours ago (#13086279, apparently) but no indication on the PPLNS stats of anything. Again, I can only assume this was a solo mined block and have no way to tell. Based on my current PPLNS round share %, it's clear that at least 25% of the current advertised pool has...

Re: Ethash and PPLNS questions

3. The "Status" page will assist you in determining when PPLNS blocks have been found for any coin. Click on the coin you're looking for and scroll down to "PPLNS stats." This data is updated every 2500 share inserts. If you mean the Coin Status section under the main Status tab...

Ethash and PPLNS questions

I've done what I think is due diligence hunting through the site help, forums and FAQ and couldn't find answers to the following questions regarding the Ethash algorithm and PPLNS on Prohashing: 1. What is the estimated time or share "window" for PPLNS for Ethash; i.e. when I should expect...
