2) He's wrong, and stolen money from every hard working participant in this pool without ever having the intention of leaving his "3 ghash/s" in the pool to solve blocks. Thus, only negatively effecting our userbase. Sorry, i don't get it. How he can "stole" their money if he is wrong and there is no vulnerability ? |

Tycho, i think the automatic payment is not working. i have it at 5 and it passes 6 when i performed instant payout instead!
You didn't read the description :) Automatic payment is triggered if your balance is higher than your threshold AND at least 24 hours passed since last payment. |

JFYI, graph of shares per block solved so far :) Two blocks between 340000 and 500000 are not shown. Red line is the current difficulty. Grey trendline is the real "difficulty".  |

Just wondering why 1 minute is inclusive while 3600 are exclusive? (i.e. the highest I can set are 3599 minutes and the lowest is 1)
That seems a little inconsistent. Fixed. I hope 3600 is enough for everyone (it's 2.5 days) :) |

Working worker, why green from blue?
Fixed :) |

What I meant was that in pools that accept invalid blocks, everyone's invalid blocks are accepted, so its just like rejecting everyone's invalid blocks; since everyone gets the bonus, its equivalent to no one getting the bonus. You are talking about shares, not blocks. Shares don't need 120 confirmations to mature. |

doesn't slush not support LP either? so combination of LP and invalid blocks make the 1% difference in favor of slush's irrelevant.
Last time when i checked stats (~2 days ago) there were 1.3% of failed blocks of the last 1000 in slush's pool. But this may be just an unlucky run. |

What is this?
Over the long run, you will be paid the same amount (actually 1% more on slush's because of less fees) by both pools. Any differences this weekend will be just based on "luck".
Actually current stats show that it may be less on slush's because of invalid blocks. (this can depend on luck too) Everyone gets awarded for invalid blocks so they don't count. Only in deepbit and bitpenny. Other pools don't give you reward for invalid blocks (the ones that don't pass confirmation). That's one of the reasons why you have to wait for 120 blocks in those pools. |

I've seen dedicated mining machines with 4 video cards installed, but I can't seem to find cheap mobo with more than 2 PCI-E slots. Do you have to purchase a high end motherboard to run over 2 cards on the same pc or am i missing something?
Actually you can't install more than 3 cards in ATX case because it allows only 7 expansion slots and each card needs 2. Moreover, you can't place them next to each other because one card will block the air intake or anoter. You are looking not for "PCIe" slots, but for x16 PCIe slots, that's not needed for mining. People with 4 cards in one MB usually connect them with flexible x1 PCIe extenders. Some of them even work. That's better for cooling too. Also you can't power 4 good cards with one normal PSU. You'll need an expensive one or two good ones. And Windows doesn't supports more than 4 GPUs. 4x5970 is like 8 GPUs, too much :) |

UPDATE:
Now you can set your failure detection threshold (1-3600 minutes) separately for each worker. If no share is received from this account in given time the worker's name will turn red. Later i'll add e-mail notification too.

if everone does that our pool will never find a block
No, it will, because sometimes block is found before the 43% mark. |

i will transfer the conversiation here because it has to do with your pool Tycho.
thanks for the reply but i was reffering to your pool, i dont see anywhere this 10% fee, only the 3% for proportional and nothing for pps! Technically there is no "fee", i'm just buying your shares by the price, offered by me. This price is 10% lower than average expectation. |
|
|
|
Moreover i don't see the 10% fee in pps method that you have said. i calculate exaclty the shares x share_value and the outcome was exactly the BTCs that i got!
That's because price per share is already set with 10% subtracted from average expectation. |

Only other thing I can thing of would be to change the "Total Shares" statistics page to show "Your Shares/Total Shares" to see how much you contributed to each found block. Well, the "Your reward" shows pretty much the same, you just need to double your reward and this will be almost your percentage. For example, if if shows that your reward is 3.5 BTC, your share is 7% ( 7.2164948453608247422680412371134% to be precise) Since there is not much free space for that table, i had to choose something among the possible columns. Will think about this further. Really though these are all superficial changes to how the data is displayed so they're all just polish and not really important. Functionally there's not really anything that I find lacking.
My "To Do" list is about two screens long. But i like making modifications to data display because it's easy :) |

The more Share Pools that exist, the easier it would be to guarantee that at least one of them would be below the inflection point. This may be true if you can be 100% sure about a) which blocks were minted by each pool, b) what is current share count of each pool (well, this one may allow some margins). |

One thing that I'd find useful is extending the worker's table under "My Account" to display hash/s for the past 30m/24h/all time. Since I've got this all running on a separate box I find it's much easier to visit your site to check on my miners than to get to the miners directly, and if I'm not at home it's the only way that I can check on them. Turning the worker red when it hasn't received a share in 30m is useful, but only detects complete failures, it doesn't detect misconfiguration (e.g. I forgot to overclock a card or accidentally ran two miners on a single GPU). To keep things clean you could probably remove the password and reward columns since they only change when the user changes them.
Yes, that would be useful. But you must remember that luck meter can't be really accurate on time intervals shorter than some hours. I'm thinking about removing the right gray column (which was intended to contain nice drawing) to make more room for tables. 30 min. interval for turning red will be definitely user-configurable (i'm currently adding a new "settings" page), and i may add option to mark it with some other ill color when it's speed falls below defined threshold. Great job with the site/pool so far though, definitely worth the 3% it for all of the benefits it brings.
Thanks :) I'm trying to do my best. Actually 3% fee is almost lower than some other pools ask. |

Both in implementation and in the numbers required to make the attack significant. It doesn't take 100% CFD, you jump ship around 40% CFD which is where the inflection point is. It is not possible to reach 100% CFD as the equation is asymptotic against the 100% marker and can never reach it. As 100% CFD is not possible to reach, it is also not possible to submit shares up to 200% CFD.
May be he means current difficulty percentage, not CFD ? Right %% for jumping is somewhere about ~43% It's not extra earnings, it's just earnings. You cannot make more money than your average daily payout.
This is absolutely false when applying this attack. That is why it is an attack. Earnings from jumping ship and going solo can net you ~120-130% (on average) of what your true average daily payout should have theoretically been given your hash rate. Not sure if in reality it can give you more than +30%. Depends on what statistic is released from pool. |

How can you compete with paypal when theres a 3% fee..... With a 2% fee, of course. This doesn't works against 0% |

Anyone interested in helping out with bitcoin.org? We need someone who has the time and skill to optimize and manage a high-traffic server. The server should be made to easily withstand slashdotting and other major news coverage. Sent you my offer in PM, but got no answer yet... And, BTW, when i should expect undeleting my account ? :) |
