Did we find out if
http://icoin.easy-mining.net was a waste of time or not? I seem to be the only one on it, judging by the pool hashrate, but it's accepting shares just fine?? I guess if this one doesn't work (can anyone confirm/deny?), it means there's no working pools. Is it worthwhile to solo mine this with only 1.5MH?
This pool is working big, just follow the getting started instructions.
http://icoin.altpool.pw:19360I tried this pool with and without the "stratum+tcp://" and both failed. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? It actually did accept some shares, but the rest of the type it just kept saying "Pool Request Restart" or "changing pool difficulty" like every 2-3 seconds
Unless the -Q and -E mean something?? I've never mined on a P2P pool before and unfamiliar with those variables..
Mining software automatically switch to stratum if available.
To force getwork protocol, use
--fix-protocol with CGminer or
--no-stratum with CPUminer.
Use icoin.altpool.pw as server name (stratum+tcp:// or http:// before is not necessary).
The "-E" param is the expiry time, low value helps to reduce stales. Try with upper values.
Finally, the "-Q" param is the number of works in queue. The default value is 1.
The values -Q 0 -E 1 works fine in most pools, but you can play with these values.
