Good news everyone We have launched Ethereum pool:
coinotron.comPort = 3342
More info you can find on our Help page:
https://coinotron.com/coinotron/AccountServlet?action=helpCurrently only PPLNS 2% mode is available.
We are gathering data which will help us to asses possibility of introducing PPS mode.

Ethereum PPLNS rates are lowered to 0%
( until Sep 10, 2015 )
Ethereum promotion has ended.
Ethereum PPLNS = 1%
Today we added RBPPS 4% mode.
Round-Based Pay Per Share. Like PPS, but payouts are delayed till a block is found and confirmed by the network. If a found block gets orphaned, earnings relative to it are not paid. If block becomes uncle earnings related to that block are paid.
If you want to switch to this mode, just go to "My account" page and change "Payment mode" for your worker(s).
We added support for Stratum in our Ethereum pool. It substantially increases mining earnings.
Mining instructions are available here: [url]https://www.coinotron.com/coinotron/AccountServlet?action=help[/url]
For first few weeks Eth Stratum pool will support only PPLNS.
Please use ethminer and mining_proxy: [url]https://github.com/Coinotron/eth-stratum-mining-proxy[/url]
mining_proxy.exe -o coinotron.com -p 3344
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -F http://127.0.0.1:8332/workername:workerpassword
We simplified creating and managing workers in our pool. We removed link between coin and worker. From now on every worker can be used in any of our pools.
If worker's payout method is not available in pool you are minig, your rewards will be calculated using default method for that pool (in most cases PPLNS)
R9 290X is also very good for mining as well.
Ethereum RBPPS rates have been lowered to 3% !!!
Ethereum RBPPS is now available in ETH Stratum pool.
Etheteum pool status: over 50% of ETH miners are using Stratum pool.
We strongly recommend you this way of mining ethereum.
Advantages od Ethereum Stratum mining:
- reduction of orphaned and uncle blocks
- increased earnings ( my estimate is 5%-10% )
- stratum uses much less bandwidth than getwork protocol
It is really easy to set up. Just download mining_proxy.exe: [url]https://github.com/Coinotron/eth-stratum-mining-proxy/releases/tag/v1.0[/url]
and start mining using following commands:
mining_proxy.exe -o coinotron.com -p 3344
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -F http://127.0.0.1:8332/workername:workerpassword

Recently several users pointed out that we present inaccurate ETH rates. Our source was Cryptsy and their rates seem to be quite off.
Today we changed our source of Ethereum rates to Poloniex.
I was mining by 7 hours in your pool but can't see my profits.
I was mining using 3 workers PC-1, PC-2, PC-3, but only PC-1 is showing profits. PC-2 and PC-3 was mining correctly - looking miner window - but no profits !! Please can you check. My user name is almartins.
Thanks in advance.
Your miners are submitting shares but extremely rarely.
Are you mining on cpu ? What hashrates show your miners?
Please provide me with commands you are using to start your miners.
I'm starting mining just few minutes and same problem PC-24 no hash at coinotron but PC-14 are ok. The rigs are pret the same with 4 GPUs.
My commands are:
ethminer -G -F http://coinotron.com:3342/almartins.PC-24:PC-24/
Look picture attached.
What is the problem ?
Also check if date and time on your mining rig are correct.
I think this problem has occurred after a power failture yesterday. After I restart miners two of them have been this problem. Can that make sense ?!
How can I improve my hashrate - actualy my miner is "ethminer" ?
I stopped mining when I started this pool - just lack of time
You must go through topics related to GPU performance.
I have already delete and create again DAG file but without results - no hash rate see by coinotron - look attached image
Where my hash rate are delivery ??!
Today we've added worker and user hashrate charts. To access them just click on links available in tables coins or workers on "My account" page.
Anyway . What is really puzling for me is that I have a card and benchmark it against coinotron I get 51Mhs in average.
The actual hash rate when mining is about 44Mhs which si at least 10% decrease.
Benchmark and Actual Hashing are done under same settings with the proxy fired up.
Still can't explain why even if the cards are one of the best ones tweaked to max hash performance so somehow undecided to pool on coinotron.
Cheers
Hashrates on charts are already averaged. They are 30 min averages.
Regarding hashrates:
Hashrates presented on our website are only estimations based on number of valid shares received in last 30 min span of time. Pool uses very high share difficulty, therefore hashrate estimations have big variance. In your case +-20%. Most accurate is 28 days chart. It shows 1 day averaged hashrates.
You must also subtract a few % of stales which are counted by your miner but not by the pool.
Maybe your miner is tweaked too much and produces faulty shares. Provide me with your account name ( send it to [email protected]) and I will check stales and errors.
Really like the charts, having the 7 and 28 day will really help, thanks — it's probably the only thing you needed to add!
Wow- ETH up to $4, wonder how long that'll last
thanks
also so the benefit of the proxy is higher rewards based on what ? becase its faster ?
We are in a position where only sky [or ground ]is the limit
