Request: Please add support for zergpool

Hello Devs,

Please add support for Zergpool.

ZERGPOOL MINING - 0% fee multialgo, multicoin, autoexchange pool

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2759935.0 http://zergpool.com/

Thanks.

Note: Sniffdogminer already has support for this, so there's precedent.

Zergpool looks decent, a lot better than some other pools.

Made one for @UselessGuru's miner that seems to work. Zergpool.zip

[robl45]

Tried with useless guru miner and appears to work fine, I assume it would work in the main program as well.

Testusers wanted!

Important: Support for ZergPool requires newer builds of MPM which support config file 'config.txt'.

Howto: Download the lastest MPM package, then put attached ZergPool.txt to the 'Pools' folder and rename to ZergPool.ps1. Please report issues regarding ZergPool in this thread - Thank you!

Note: Zergpool allows three different options for payout:

Option 1 - Mine in particular algorithm This will let pool to mine most profitable coin in this algo or use merged mining benefits, and auto exchange rewards to your coin wallet. You should use coin wallet address as username. Use c=SYMBOL in password to make sure payout wallet coin is identified correctly. Example to mine in Scrypt algorithm and get payout in BTC -o stratum+tcp://zergpool.com:PORT -u -p c=BTC

Option 2 - Mine particular coin Use your coin wallet address as username in mining software. Specify c=SYMBOL as password to idenfify payout wallet coin, and the same coin in mc=SYMBOL to specify mining coin Example to mine Guncoin and get payout in Guncoin -o stratum+tcp://zergpool.com:PORT -u -p c=GUN,mc=GUN

Option 3 - Mine particular coin with auto exchange to wallet address This will mine coin you specified in password field only and autoexchange it to your wallet currency for payout. Use c=SYMBOL in password to make sure payout wallet coin is identified correctly. Use mc=SYMBOL to target particular coin for mining Example to mine in Innova coin and get payout in LTC -o stratum+tcp://zergpool.com:PORT -u -p c=LTC,mc=INN

Currently only auto-conversion payout to BTC (Option 1) is fully supported by MPM. Options 2 & 3 require changes to pool parameter handling and are currently NOT supported.

what is different between lastest file and file that evanvz provided?

[Chron-O-John]

Just tried it. It seems that it only works without the -poolname parameter. I tried to include it using "-poolname miningpoolhubcoins,Zergpool" result is, that only miningpoolhub is used.

Did I do something wrong or is it not (yet) supported?

[airwalker1]

Can you add zergpool to miningpoolhubstats?

[evanvz]

Hi @robl45

The pool file I provided works only for @UselessGuru MPM setup.

It seems that it only works without the -poolname parameter. I tried to include it using "-poolname miningpoolhubcoins,Zergpool" result is, that only miningpoolhub is used.

This does not make sense. There is nothing in the pool files that has a conjunction with the -poolname or -excludepoolname parameter. This is all done in the main MPM routine.

ZergPool down

From there site

"We are on maintenance after hack and following DDoS attack. Working hard to move service to AWS with proper DDoS protection. Takes a bit more time than anticipated, hope to get online during weekend only."

I dunno, added this to my several of my rigs, and the income estimates jumped 50%, and it was pretty much mining exclusively on zergpool over a test period of 48 hours, meanwhile the actual income dropped 30% compare to MPH+nicehash.

Its the worst overestimation pool I've tried. But atleast the pool file seems to work just fine.

[paulpoco]

0% fee, nothing is never free.

[robl45]

Yup, garbage pool that keeps changing the payout so I'm stuck mining on it for god knows how long until I finally reach the new payout.
