sounds nice, do you still pay 110% or is it <105% now?

How many blocks have we found so far? And do you know who found them?  That's always a fun stat to have on the website.

Hmm.... getting a large number of stales.

Prior (btcGuild): 0%~0.1%
This: 5%

And just got 5 rejected shares in a row. >.<

Any way to fix this?

Finally out of newbie area.
[/celebration]

I'm currently hashing away and am also getting about 5% of stales. Makes the bonus a little useless. But it is still a free PPS method, which is what I wanted anyway.

Goat,

where do we point our miners ?  it was not included in your email, and Ive been scanning the forums for it for some time now.

Thanks

It should be within the email, albeit not really clearly shown.

At least for me, the instructions are to connect to goat1.zapto.org:8337 with the username given to you and any password.

Thanks Bravetheheat,

I got two emails.  The one that had the connection information was sent to my spam folder.

would it be possible to add hashrate to the stats page?

Also, any update on the rejected shares?

You said you are currently paying for rejects while the problem is sorted out right? So when is that amount added to the payout, after you click the button? Since I currently only have btc earned for my normal shares.

Hi the problem was more or less sorted out and we are no longer paying for rejected shares. You should see rejects in the 1 to 2% range now. We will try to lower this as well. If you see higher please let me know. Thanks.

Well I've had between 2 to 5% for a while and I was just wondering about how those were going to get added because I never paid out during those high range of shares because my number of rejects were not added to my number of shares so you're saying if I click payout right now I won't get paid for all those times I had a really high stale rate anyway?

I'm not clear on how to run multiple miners.  When I run more than one instance of phoenix pointed at the provided address, my hash rate drops.  Currently trying to run three, soon to be four.

Edit:  Actually, it appears that I got the expected hash rate after starting my first instance.  But then when I restarted all three instances, the hash rate had dropped.  Going back to just the one instance results in the same lowered hash rate (about half of expected), so it's possible that the correlation with the extra instances was just a coincidence.  When I point my instances back at arsbitcoin pool, the hash rate returns to the expected rate.


Disregard. I was making a stupid. :-\

So I clicked "Request Payout" a few days ago, clicked "OK" in the box that asked me to confirm, and then... nothing happened. Pending payout is still 0BTC, and no coins have been deposited at my address.

Is this normal? I'm okay with the payout process being manual for now; I'm just getting the vibe that this is some kind of control panel bug rather than being a case of waiting for the pool operator to send me my payment.

Is there a calculator somewhere that shows the estimated 100% PPS amount with the current difficulty?

50/difficulty (http://blockexplorer.com/q/getdifficulty)*your shares=PPS rate

^ * 1.05 = Goat's rate

?

I can only send 10 PMs an hour:(   But right now we are holding off on users under 500 MHash/S until we can get a new server up. Part of our high reject rate is due to too many connects. Thanks.

750MH/s is higher than 500 =P

Something is wrong. I tried to send you a payout and I as an admin can not do it either, the server guy is looking into this second.

Update before I even post, he was able to get it to work, let me know if this happens again as this is the first time. Payment on the way.

I also just clicked the "request payout" and then "Ok" in the popup, and then nothing changed.  I understand the payouts are currently being processed manually, but there's no feedback on the stats screen to confirm that the "request" was actually "sent", so I have no idea if it worked or not.

there are times i have had to click the button a time or two to get it to work.

check for it to show up as pending in the list. it should be right up top.

also note, he only allows for 2 payouts per day.

Aha!  Yup, clicked a few more times and finally got the feedback I was expecting. 

also note, he only allows for 2 payouts per day.

That strikes me as very generous on his part, considering he's doing it manually for now.

Thank you xD

Miners been on it working great so far, made a ton more than with other pools.

Haven't requested a payout yet, going to wait for 1+ BTC, but i trust ya = )

Which BIP (16/17/none) is this pool voting for?


Title: Re: 105% PPS "Project #2" Dont pay a pool to mine get paid to hash!
Post by: Red Emerald on January 27, 2012, 05:38:57 AM
Right now I am pretty sure none. Changing the bitcoin rules scares the shit out of me, esp if I (and most people) do not understand it.

Next time there is a vote they should tell the votes what they want to change and why.

I'm not voting because I am anti the change, I am not voting because I am ignorant.


Sounds like a sane approach to me. Thanks

Project #2 holds nothing against a high beer drinking ability. :)

Well in that case, * whispers* hes a good candidate

I'm currently hashing away and am also getting about 5% of stales. Makes the bonus a little useless. But it is still a free PPS method, which is what I wanted anyway.

I am getting 2-3% reject, waay better than 95% Payout + 0.1% Reject.  = )  Not sure why I am not getting 5%, but yea..

Also Thanks goat for paying for rejects (they need love too).

He fixed the problem with the 5% reject rate but lowering the number of connections he had. Also, he's not paying for rejects anymore last I was told.

We are not paying for reject, but we are paying a rate (105%) that more than makes up for them. I just got back form 30 hours with out internet and will be making payments now. Sorry for the delay.

(Never been this long without internet access before!!!)

I'd be having major withdraw issues...major.
