Yayyy! Beer time!
It had to happen, pool was so lucky! Now let's get back to lucky mode. Avalon time!

Hi M, I think there are problems when locale is not "en". I'm running it on a machine where the locale is metric-based and I can see conversion problems in the log tab: 2015-01-25 11:38:35: An error occurred when parsing the web output for http://**.**.**.**:*****/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=/admin/status/minerstatus/: La conversion de la chaîne "195.04" en type 'Double' n'est pas valide. It means "Conversion of string "195.04" in Double type is invalid" -- It looks like it is trying to convert "195.04", which is ok in english, but when converting it probably expects "195,04" to be able to parse it correctly (default locale when not specified in your code). Other example: 2015-01-25 11:39:20: An error occurred when parsing the web output for http://**.**.**.**:****/cgi-bin/minerStatus.cgi: La conversion de la chaîne "2,044.40" en type 'Double' n'est pas valide. For the hashrate, "2,044.40" is expected to be parsed as "2 044,40" in my locale. Also, I think the way MMinerMonitor displays the data is based on the computer's locale: for the BestShare column, I can see "17 539 513" displayed instead of "17,539,513" that you probably expect, and when sorting on this column, it shows like this: which is sorted string-wise instead of int-wise. I think everything coming from a string should be specifically converted using the local locale (!) to make sure there's no parsing problems. Oh, and I am getting a Windows security popup asking for a password when trying to get data from a remote miner. Entered password never works. I don't know if it has something to do with this: 2015-01-25 12:06:54: An error occurred when parsing the web output for http://**.**.**.**:*****/cgi-bin/minerStatus.cgi: La valeur '70' n'est pas valide pour 'index'. 'index' doit être compris entre 0 et 5. Nom du paramètre : index Which means "The value '70' is invalid for 'index'. 'index' must be a value between 0 and 5. Parameter name: index" Another thing: when the popup asking for a password, I don't know for which remote machine it asks, and I don't have the same password on every machines, so I don't know what to enter. Version 4.7 Thanks for keeping the good work and frequent updates! Kex

IF a producer, by using closed source software, could steer people to their pool, they would definitively make money, wouldn't they?
Even if open-sourced, the only way to make sure such malicious code is not running on miner is to compile it ourselves from source. Maybe one way to check is to use the hardware on testnet and analyze results. Unless they took it into account in malicious code and turn it off when using testnet.

Is there a method to have an S5 and or SP20 stop mining completely during certain times/days ? I'm wanting it to kick on when I'm not home or asleep already then turn off during the day. Will be very nice during the summer as well.
It's theoretically possible. I'd have to try it to see what would happen. I know there's a way to disable cgminer via the API, but the miners might have a "watchdog" in them that will notice cgminer is idle and restart it. M There is actually such watchdog in the Bitmain products. I wanted to cool down my machines by executing some kind of "cgminer stop ; sleep 600 ; cgminer start" every once in a while but couldn't stop them more than... well I think it was 3 minutes. I guess to achieve the sleep feature, the API only won't be enough. Maybe disabling all the pools would work? M Hey, good idea! Just temporarily adding some extra character at the end of the pool URL (ie. www.pool.comq) would make it marked as dead and if the miner has no pool to mine, it will stop mining. There you go!

I don't know what is worse. I'm transferring coin to rent hash, or that I'm checking in while at the bar with my wife.
lol! Been there done that, I usually wait when she's in the restrooms! ;-) Renting hashpower to mine in the pool or solo? mining in the pool for the 2 avalons is my guess. I moved almost all my gear here . That makes sense. Nice to have a little incentive for the block finder. Pool hashrate will jump for a little while and everyone will win from that.

Payout 339388 sent Still having some trouble with the pool. A few ups and downs, but as long as ckpool doesn't get stuck, it always restarts it 9 seconds after it happens. ... but not stopping us from finding blocks at all! Web page shows the last 42 blocks at 67.53% which is like ... amazing luck. 67.53% = sum of shares received for each block / sum of each block network difficulty 100% would mean we average at the expected average. 67.53% means we've found the 42, roughly 1.5 times faster than expected But yes I do sleep ... a least a few hours a day Since at least some of you liked that last competition, especially the winner I'm sure, it seems like we may be able to run another one shortly from another supplier, this time with 2 of the same prize ... will put up details very soon. Nice! That will be good for the pool hashrate thus not only the winner. That's a good way for the pool to stand out from the others. Thanks!

Congratulations again ads2003uk! need my bestshare cancelled again so I can see how close i'm getting lol
Funny you should say that, the latest code in full debug is now working fine so I was about to restart the pool once more to bring online the non debug version. When I restart the pool the best share will reset. I was thinking of resetting the best share automatically on every block solve but then it's probably just after a block solve that you want to see what your best share was. Haha you're right... then you have to keep the last and current best shares! :-)

Voltage used? Power consumption? What power supply did you replace the stock one with?
I assume it's a display bug and the frequency used here is 275, not 2,275.

Oh and his userstats show: "bestshare": 56247667376.665375 Nice thing to wake up and start the day to. Is there anyway of re-setting the best share, now that I've hit block? Congrats! Looks like your technique is working! :-)

i don't know what it is about ckpools... sp20winner winning yesterday/this morning, a few days ago a guy bet 0.04 btc and won 1 btc and proceeded to rent 600th to find a block on the solo pool, and hit there too. you just don't hear crazy, ridiculous stories like this elsewhere... and i love it. anybody here want to throw out some suggestions for lotto numbers? y'all are some of the luckiest folks i've encountered lol. i hope everybody sticks around and invites their friends.
I think there's magic around Kano and CK. This pool's luck defies probability, and that's good for us.

lol, when it rains it pours. Just don't count on that luck continuing!
congrats again! Wow!!! Thanks!!! At work so didnt know.. had an email from someone congratulating me on hitting a block. looks like i will be definitely renting some more. think im on about 400th for next 6hrs. be home in 3😊 LOL! Your renting adventure is like a tv series I can't wait to see the next episode, wishing you get a block! I bet a bunch of people reading this thread will give it a try (personally thinking about it). Congrats!

Congrats ads2003uk! Nice to see a payoff for gambling (renting hash) And good luck with the new rented hash! EDIT: How much did it cost you and where do you rent this much? Pool showing 919TH . Is this the highest ever? Not if you count the big farm that found the first few blocks for the pool. It was a couple of petahash i'm guessing but it ran on a separate instance so not sure if you can count it. 919TH is definitely the highest from regular users as far as I'm aware. I've spent 3BTC for 601TH that runs between 5 & 18hrs ftom: http://tinyurl.com/qencw96Thanks for the link. I was also wondering about what cloud service you were using. Let us know if your 601TH is successful...

Since we've now found 77 blocks since the pool started, I'm going to setup a little prize for lower THs miners (above 800GHs but under 50THs) for one person to win between now and when we find block 100. There will be absolutely no confusion or issue about the prize unlike other pools have had, once I post the full details soon ... sounds fun ... hope the prize is a coupon I can use with my electricty supplier It will be an SP20 sent direct from Spondoolies. Niiiice. Can't wait to see the details! Let's have a little fun while mining!

Hi Kano,
Thanks for the pool. I was wondering... simple question... if I want to have a rough idea of my next payout, can I roughly take my hashrate / pool hashrate * 25 ?
I know it won't be as precise as if I take the number of my accepted shares/total accepted shares (which I can't know in advance, so can't estimate next payout)... but I guess it will be near?
Thanks for the info.
I'm sure he will answer you as soon as he can. I just wanted to point out [In case you didn't know]; you will not see your "full" payout till after 500% of blocks found. It's worth the wait though!!! EDIT: See, he responded before I could give my little 2 cents. He is fast at answering!! Thanks for the info, I plan to stay here for a good ride.

It's actually more like: Been mining for X% of the last 500% before the block was found, so payout should be roughly X/500 * hashrate / poolrate * 24.8 Of course if the pool hash, or your hash rate, has changed in the 500%, that will affect the payout also. The 24.8 is a guestimate adjustment since it's 99.1% of the block + txn payout You can see the history values for all blocks at the current payout address link, which is: https://blockchain.info/address/1KzFJddTvK9TQWsmWFKYJ9fRx9QeSATyrTGreat, thanks. I should have reread your first post before asking, you state PPLNS with N set at 5x... Taking part of the pool! Looks like it's a lucky one!! And thanks Lightsword for being part of it!! :-)

Congratulations to 1FATSAxjd8f3LDjQzJG8GosvLHwADDcrei who obviously didn't want to remain completely anonymous with that btcaddress and was running just under 10TH! Congrats to him/her for the block! Nice address! Ok, now, may I be next? :-]
