Code: Pool: http://pa.mtred.com:3333

Does not have own long-poll support

Queued work requests: 253

Share submissions: 9268

Accepted shares: 9263

Rejected shares: 5

Accepted difficulty shares: 9263

Rejected difficulty shares: 5

Reject ratio: 0.1%

Efficiency (accepted / queued): 3661%

Discarded work due to new blocks: 499

Stale submissions discarded due to new blocks: 2

Unable to get work from server occasions: 1

Submitting work remotely delay occasions: 0

Reject ratio is a little higher than my regular pool, but that pool is also in my local city so a 50ms ping time whereas mtred is 240ms. However I used to get up to 2% rejects on mtred, which stopped me mining here, so this is a ludicrous improvement. Note there is one "Unable to get work from server occasions". That would have been a disconnect which would then have dropped some shares as mentioned in the previous post. At the moment the stats don't show how many of those shares were lost.



I'm sure current miners moving over to stratum would dramatically lower the server load. Now if higher diff share submission was added, the load on the server would drop even more and be able to tolerate even asic hashrate submissions.

I've been moving around to different pools trying to figure out what the best rate of return is, and I keep finding that MtRed offers consistantly a higher PPS than any other pool.



However, that being said, I have two issues which continue to keep me looking at other pools:



1.) I don't think I've ever seen the Estimation section of the Dashboard ever give an accurate reading. This is kind of okay as it's just a visual issue really, but it bothers me that this calculation is always way off. I can see how I might be incorrect if I wasn't present for the entire 25.###### transaction, but even when I've been there from start to finish, the estimation is always at least 1/3rd to 1/2 higher than the actual payout.



2.) While the PPS may be the highest I've been able to see so far (including a 1-3% donation), its frustrating that the shares aren't awarded until after the entire section has been completed. I'm assuming that Mt. Red just doesn't have a system in place to allow BTC to be floated so I'm not really per se complaining about this, I was just curious as to why this option isn't available for this pool. I'm more so just wondering if this specific feature has been thought about. I could potentially see a feature like that making the pool more popular, especially when given that the PPS is still higher than say the guys over at 50BTC, and they generate about 7 times more speed than Red does.



Other than those two issues, I have to say that I really do like Mt. Reds pool! It was kind of cool being a redditor myself to see that not only do we have a pool, but that it's in the top ten of all pools out there. Additionally, all of the documentation on the Mt. Red website was good enough that I went from being confused about what specific options to use and miners to having a really easy grasp on how to setup miners for not just Mt. Red, but any other pool or just mining in general.







TLDR; Awesome pool is awesome, but I don't truly know how much BTC I will earn per block found until the block is found, since estimation always gives me wacky numbers and instant share credit isn't offered.
