Never mind.. I'm even dumber than I like to admit to..  At some point, I must have had communications problems with GPUMAX.  My miner switched to the backup pool, and I didn't even notice..

Enigma

Yep, even tried logging out and logging back in.. I assumed it was a refresh problem at first, also.. It's not..

Currently throwing you a bit of hash power.. But where's it going??

The count of "OFFLINE" and "LEASED" shares hasn't changed in hours, yet I've been hashing (2606 Shares Accepted since I last saw the numbers on the website change).

Is your system having difficulties?  Is all this hashing going to waste?

Completely agree - I believe you are right that it's 69.30.209.1

Hope the tracert helps.

That's a pretty good deal.. IF.. it's a real swiss ETA.  Any chance of getting a photo of the actual movement?

I just switched to 9009.. let you know if it changes anything.

Just ran GPU-Z.. 1440 shaders.. It's a 5850 like I thought.
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/47rdp/

Hmm.. You might be right, actually.. I remote-desktop into that machine.. maybe it got a 5870 stuck in it rather than the 5850 that I thought was in it..

Have to check when I'm over at the facility where that box lives later this afternoon..

Not sure why everyone else is so low - or why I'm so high.... Here's a screen-shot showing the Device Hardware ID's (5850), MSI Afterburner Settings, and Mining Results.

(EDIT)Hmm.. In taking that screen-shot, I see I'm running a bit warm today.. 74C.. Have to check on my fan.  Also, screenshot shows 427.xx Mhash/sec which was primarily due to me moving images around on the screen - my rate dropped by a few Mhash while I was doing that and taking the capture.  It's usually about 431.xx if I leave the machine alone.

Just FYI - EMC seems to be having connectivity problems.  I've had three instances of > 2 minutes without being able to connect..  My connection is working during those times.

930 core.  under 70C.

I see what you mean - I was 'lucky' during that block.  8 shares is more than I 'should' have found.

Thanks for explaining.

Enigma

I'm still trying to wrap my head around DG scoring...  I'm doing very well at EMC, so I'm definitely not complaining.. Just trying to understand.

That really short block, as a perfect example..
uzgen   162821
(379)    19:31:23
2012-01-18   00:01:41   2777   99.78%   44/120    8   0.04907340
(-193.52%)    0.00024660
0.27% avg

Total shares = 2777
My shares = 8
Proportional = (8/2777)*50 = 0.14404033 BTC
My DG Payout = 0.04907340 BTC

Why does DG yield such a poor payout in this instance?  1/3 what pure proportional would have paid..

Additionally, it seems like the %prop stat may be .. wrong.. or at least misleading..  -193% of anything would be a subzero number..
-65.93% would seem more appropriate.. 65.93% less than what pure proportional would have been..
(.14404033 - .04907340) / .14404033 = 65.93

Enigma

290MH on a 5870?  Seriously?  I get over 430 from 5850s.

used on ebay, used in the marketplace here on bitcointalk.org

new/refurb at random places when they have sales

You pay $20.20 per kilowatt-hour?  Seems a bit unprofitable to mine bitcoins...

That seems to be exactly what I'm talking about - although I can't be sure since I don't know the exact calculation/formula.  Some blocks I'm ahead of the game, some behind - it's very inconsistent.  Overall, I'm up compared to proportional - I'm just trying to understand why I often times end up in the red for a block or two.  This definitely isn't me complaining - EMC seems like a great pool - I just want to be able to understand where the numbers come from.

Enigma

Agreed, as long as I'm mining continuously (which I am), my understanding is that the worst case should be no difference from proportional.  Gains can be had if OTHER people stop mining during a block, letting their share dwindle.  That's why I don't understand the negative relationship to proportional in my case.
