So if I wanted to have a stratum to be 200, I would put ‘ADDRESS/200’?

That is the idea behind it.
You may need to try some different values to get the optimum settings for your miners

@gonnaforget said in If I'm reading this correctly, Mining Pool Hub is claiming to be doing about 90% of the total FTC hashrate right now.:

Isn’t it potentially a security risk to have more than 50% of the network hashrate from one place?

not with Advanced Checkpointing - Which Feathercoin has.

What this does is checkpoint the blockchain every X amount of blocks. So even if someone did get 51% of the hashrate…they couldn’t do much except roll back to the last checkpoint.

Thank you! I think that explains it. If I wasn’t getting above the minimum payment I wasn’t getting anything, even if it looked to me like I was getting shares. (I was getting stratum off 1000+, so I had used the -f function to try to reduce the difficulty) I guess I could go back and check the difficulty of the blocks that I was getting payments on and see that they were the easy ones.

Was the .01 (or whatever, but I believe the .01 because all the payments I’ve gotten with Mining Pool Hub have been less than that) set back before the current run-up in difficulty? It might be a thing to reduce the threshold a touch now that the difficulty is consistently above what it used to be. Would it be possible to make it automatically scale with the difficulty?
