Yes, minutes after posting my transaction finally popped into my account.

I emailed BTC-E to see if I can get an official response on what version of terracoind they are running. The coins I sent off were coins I mined myself, and are in the official block chain. I think what's happening is BTC-E doesn't see them because they aren't on the right chain.

How can we tell which version BTC-E is running? The transfer I made to them this morning (>150 blocks ago) has never shown up. They said there are problems with the TRC network and to give it time. I'm suspecting they aren't running .33 though and are on the wrong block chain somehow? If so, I wonder what that means for all the buyers/sellers of TRC there currently.

That's what the "ignore" button is for.

It seems like from

http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/chain/Terracoin?count=20

and the last few pages, that 5255 is the new floor minimum difficulty. Which is better than the swings down to <100 and coins ever few seconds.

Perhaps TRC will pull through all of this and I'll launch a TRC pool after all!

It figures I spent the last few late nights setting up a TRC pool, just to see if I could (using a bitcoin pool backend with terracoind instead, need to roll my own front end). Used it as a test all last night, found 11 coins, but only 4 survived. The other 7 I think probably happened during the difficulty dips where coins are found every few seconds. Mine didn't win the race I guess. I thought TRC had gotten stable the other day right before Coinotron suspended. Guess not. :/

You might want to check out the program 'screen'.

I'm not sure it "notifies" you, but you'll see the funds in your balance and in your transaction history. The mining program you use would notify you when you have a block accepted (different message than a share being accepted by a pool).

Epic.

Can just order on the web site.

That was the last price before they halted trading.

Can order now, bitcoins only. I'm almost tempted myself. But ~$1K for something with a 4-5 month breakeven at current BTC/USD and difficulty levels, hard to pull that trigger. With the ASICs coming the breakeven could stretch way way out...

I think most pool operators running PPS haven't really looked at the math. It only makes sense to run a payment model that is sustainable forever regardless of variance.


I'm new to mining, have one 7950 I bought, and don't even use your pool. So my feedback isn't worth a lot. But look at this:

http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay

When I was searching for pool software I came across them (as a result of eloipool), and this is their latest payment model. I really like it. Feels as close to PPS as you can get with zero risk to you, and recent miners have priority treatment. Everyone, eventually, gets paid for all that is owed once the pool get more blocks than expected instead of less.


Eligius does this too, and I think it's super elegant. (Edit: One other tip from their experience, make your policy that shares are based as a share of the next payoff based on the reward at that time. So if the reward drops, you aren't paying out of pocket a share of a previous higher reward that was never realized. Your % of the total work is set at the time you earn the share, but your actual amount of BTC payment is based on the block reward at the time a block is found.)

I've seen numerous people report they got refunds after asking for one. Ask for a refund if you don't want to keep waiting. They've also said the new product line for future orders is separate from the prior product line on older orders. You'll get what you ordered before, not one of the new products.

So I've spent all evening reading up on Amazon's various services and thinking about how cool it'd be to set up a pool using all of the various tools they provide. And then I found your thread here by accident, and I see you did exactly that. Too cool.

Hm. Can't seem to get cgminer to connect, but I see you have workers working so must be something on my end. Hmm.

For the Batch 1 and 2 Avalons, before the huge price tag increase. Now $4K might buy you half an Avalon.

Thank you for testing and reporting back.

Sounds like powertune, I was having the same issue. Apparently to turn it "off" you need to set it to +20%. Then it'll stop lowering your clock now and then to save power.

Out of curiosity, why not mine with them yourself?
