Hi,
My earnings has decreased too with that new "share" change. All my machines are working as usual.
I have notified some disconnects from my machines due to last connection is 1 hour ago. I think that the problem comes from Ypool, but not sure.
I have read something about other pts pools and I want to ask something:
If is better mine directly to my pts wallet, why I only find miners associated to pools? Could anyone tell me a directly miner to my wallet?
Thank you!
You're gambling if you solo mine. The Protoshare-0.2 wallet allows you to solo mine. The issue with solo mining is, where you'd get ~0.9 PTS if you make 4% of the shares on a given block in a pool (say that's 5,000 shares), you'd only have a 4% chance of getting the anything if you mine solo. You would get 22.1 PTS instead of 1 PTS, but much less likely. As time goes on, difficulty increases and your odds of finding a block by solo-mining decrease. It could take on average, a month to find a block if you're currently making 22 PTS/month. The issue is.. a month from now, a block might only be 19 PTS, and difficulty could go up another 10% (or however much), meaning you'd be most likely to find a block in perhaps 35 days, and a much smaller block at that.
So, even with the 3% pool fee, you're much better off mining in a pool, long-term. Unless, you have a ton of computing power - something where you could expect to find a block solo within 2 weeks - you'd probably need the equivalent of 50 server cores (which doesn't seem profitable, unless you have free trials or a server of your own).
