[ANN] Falcon Burst Pool

[haitch]

@rds My Pennywise's 150 TB goes many rounds without finding a sub 60 minute deadlines on the majority of rounds. Smaller miners and even twice as large liners will have the same problem. With these difficulty swings, I've checked about 7 pools, and often only one of them will have a DL under 1 hour.

[rds]

@haitch , you are probably right about the difficulty. I really think the diff is way higher than reported. How does the network determine difficulty anyway?

[haitch]

@rds I'm not 100% certain, but I believe it's based on the winning DL off the last X blocks. A run of quick blocks makes the estimate go higher, slower blocks bring it back down.

One of the wallet devs would be able to give you more accurate explanation. @daWaIlet ?

@haitch thx foe the explanations, im getting a lot of question above my pay grade of tortillas!

[haitch]

@falconCoin ask and I'll do my best to answer .....

i have been watching closely..
at the time of writing this there are 36 miners in the pool although the page says 43 ( i notice this to always be off on every pool why? but not important)
several of the bottom tier miners are active as i set them up and am teamviewing them and know they are mining and receiving deadlines..
i am pretty sure when you shut your miner off and stop producing deadlines it takes some time to dissapear as you are still on your 50 block average. to me every miner on this pool looks active i do not see big miners on the bottom and dropping indicating they stopped mining.. the bottom guys are the smallest guys in the pool.. seems about right. everyone looks to be mining.

i do however think things are a little weird for a while i was the only one who ever hit a block until last night. a 2tb miner hit a 4 minute deadline and managed 830 burst. very happy for that.. but i would think Gustave and Babylicious deadlines would be well under an hour on most blocks... they havent broke an hour in the entire netwoork history column in the middle.. that concerns me @haitch

if this is just bad luck we are over due for some reaaaaaallly good luck :) haha crossing fingers

EDIT babylicious hit 22 minutes one time in the last 40 blocks. or however many in middle collumn

[haitch]

@darindarin The difference is between registered miners and active miners who are getting valid DLs.

Even with 250 TB you're not going to get sub 60 minutes every round. Take a look at highroller.burst-team.us , that's my 60 minute accepted DL pool, Pennywise's is a 150 TB miner, look at how any rounds it doesn't find a DL.

[darindarin]

@haitch not talkign about every round talking about 50 rounds.

[darindarin]

look at our network history in the middle column the last 50 blocks we have 1 deadline under 1 hour.. that is weeeeeirrdd

[darindarin]

i keep double checking to see if im wrong ( usually am ) but .. yip just one under an hour .. and most arent even close.

[darindarin]

and then gustavo hits a 15 minute deadline right after i type this.... HA..

[falconCoin]

@haitch i also notice the same thing @darindarin mentioned... like most the time all the deadlines are hour + for us and the other pools i see like 2 min, 4 min etc

[falconCoin]

ha and same thing i say something and Gustavo hits a 3 Min DL lol

[darindarin]

@falconCoin keep typing!

[haitch]

@falconCoin A lot of the other pools have in excess of 2,000 miners, and often don't get sub 60 minute blocks. Your pool doesn't have that many miners, and is doing fine for the number of miners you do have. If the coin difficulty will stabilize around true capacity then things should look better. But currently I'm seeing difficulties jumping from sub 20PB to over 60PB. Don't know what's causing it, but it's creating abnormal mining conditions.

[darindarin]

 lets keep bothering @haitch .. its working!

EDIT cant get images to upload but we won a block

[falconCoin]

@haitch i trust you and i think were doing well for being so new, and small. i know some ppl want to mine and get that coin same day but i like the long term(ers) and i think this pool will continue to grow

[falconCoin]

@darindarin ha nice and for a second i thought it said marcosnuts lol

[falconCoin]

@darindarin io cant get that banner in my signature how did you do it

[haitch]

@darindarin I'm sitting in my hotel bar, posting on my phone, with no idea what's happening on the pools, having a beer, with a barman that wants me to piss off so he can close down and go home. So whatever is working, it ain't down to me ... ;-)
