[ANN] ypool.net - Largest Primecoin pool

Made a little tool for yPool, there API is out and had a play.

I just use it to watch my gains without having to be on a browser, this just sits nicely in the corner of my windows mining monitor.

All code is on SVN public read, so check it and compile it yourself for extra safety.

THREAD FOR DISCUSSION: http://community.ypool.net/index.php?page=Thread&postID=459#post459 <— ALL IDEAS HERE DONT HIJACK THIS THREAD PLEASE
Silly little app, but hey i find it handy… Maybe you guys will to…

Nice. Is it possible to choose which numbers to/not to display form command line?

Hey mate, ill make a new thread for discussion over at ypool community forums.
A bit busy for next hour or so then ill be home from work and can make some changes.
Your idea is exactly what i was thinking, would help keep the form small so it can hide in corner easier. Instead of command line arguments maybe pass it a config file.
Lets keep all chat about my tool out of this thread as to not hijack it, in the next couple hours you will find a url here to the thread to talk about the took.

Not totally irrelevant to this thread… but the ypool forum seems to require a seprate registration – you can’t use ypool identity or identity here. It’s another passwd to keep track of. I have been trying not to register unless I really have to.

Some news for ypool:
Today we decreased the number of confirmations for XPM blocks. Therefore unconfirmed XPM go into valid balance after about 17 hours instead of 3 days. We still plan to decrease it even further. I also updated the first post to state that we have a 24h lottery (raffle).

I’ve noticed that when using yPool, every few hours my share value drops significantly. This has happened about 5 times over the past two days, is there a reason why?

It happens when you got lucky and found a rare share. Usually a 9ch with a share value of 20, which is 4000 times more value than your average 6ch share. Since we count shares for 160 rounds (4-5 hours) you will get a boost across those 160 rounds. After that the share will not be considered anymore for all coming rounds, thats when you see the jump downwards.

Hello,
I am mining XPM and was wondering how my stats are. Here is what my jhPrimeminer.exe says:

Val/h: .15 PPS: 24530 - SPS:93.7|265 4ch/h: 6007 5ch/h: 513 - avg: 5.50

I’m mining from a laptop btw, so how are my values for a laptop?

Excellent job there my friend. Probably the best mining pool. Had some problems about down time but I think they will be fixed in the future so it will run smoothly without any error. Probably mining on this pool :wink:

My ISP seems to throttle “non-standard” ports; more than 1 or 2 miners and I start getting dropped connections on the miners. Any way you might support port 80 or 443?

Mining right now!
Is this normal?

I have the same problem. I was told in chat that it was submitting shares too low, which is untrue. I was using t15, because t16 crashed my computer, and it was working fine for days at the default settings. I did try t16 as per the suggestion of mercuryminer in the chat, with his settings, which he claimed were working, which still were not working for me. In my miner, right away once I fired up t16, it rejected two out of 3 of my shares as “invalid,” which they are not.

I cannot connect. is that normal?

I am using the recommended jhPrimeminer v4.0 by rdebourbon.

  1. Is there any other settings that I should adjust besides the username and password? Or should I just run it using default?
  2. How do I calculate my profit?
  3. On the website “Share value/h”, how do I use that to calculate how many XPM I get per day?
  4. jhPrimeminer, how do I tell how fast I am mining? And, how to use that and compare to ypool’s “share value/h”?
  5. Is there a profit calculator?

website says i am not connected, but the miner is working, and my CPU usage is at 100%

Hi
I have got Wix XP 64 bit edition in my pc.
Whenever i try to use jhprimeminert16v2 by launching miner.bat in MS Dos console i get the following error.
“jhprimeminer-T16.exe is not recognized as an external or internal command, operable program or batch file.”
What to do ?

GUI tool for miner link not working.

I got one worker set up on ypool, it’s a quad core xeon.I have 2 others I want to add. How do I add them? after I register as another worker on ypool.net and try to launch the miner it says incorrect password or username. Is there something special I need to do to have all of my xeon machines mining under my account? and if so will they all be credited to my wallet registered on ypool. Sorry I’m a newb, I haven’t been able to find any info on the proper way to do this.
