The memory will be watercooled soon, and its just a pair of 5850's for now.  This is the old gaming rig that got retired to mining, and the ram block came out for the new rig till I can get a replacement in.

the payout itself was what in the range it should have been, the estimated a tad low, but that always is for me.  I do have to say with the proxy I am getting a faster rate, almost no stale's and a higher earn do to the speed increase.

From what I could tell, all the shares were actually counted.  It just took 4 or 5 minutes before the shares that were found using the proxy actually showed up in my account...

Thank you, it helped me and I fixed yet another small bug. It should not appear now (and sorry for two quick stratum server restarts related to bugfix).

Now it looks like the estimated reward isn't working right.  Im still getting the shares counted in my account, but the estimated reward is way low...

I know that doesn't always coincide to the actual reward, but with the testing I figured it was worth mentioning.

I was just on my way here to say the same thing, glad that other people are quicker then me, was worried when I logged in and only saw .0002 estimated.

dburdett83 - That sounds quite strange. Are you sure that you don't have multiple miners working on the same machine? Proxy itself should not affect mining in this way.

It's not actually slowing it down, just for some reason is causing guiminer to report it as slower, from monitoring the dashboard it is just as fast if not a little faster then without the proxy running.  Just wanted to let you guys know what I saw.

I have both of my workers running on it now, and it seems to be a little faster then just using gui miner to connect to the pool, I just pointed them at localhost:8332 like you suggested.

The only odd thing is that GUI miner is only showing 90khash/s on one worker, and 2.1Mhash on the other worker, but I know that it is churning out faster then it was before (280Mhash/s per worker) based on the number of shares.

Hi guys,

I'm finishing project on which I recently spent some time  Wink. I'm just writing official announcement and internal technical documentation. But in the meantime I would like to ask you for testing this:

https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy (there's also prepared Windows binary)

It is proxy between "old" getwork protocol and new pool interface based on Stratum protocol (which I originally designed for a lightweight Electrum wallet). As I said, I'll post it's benefits officially later, but I'd like to do some small-scale testing for now (and hopefully find the first block outside testnet?). So if you have some spare time, please run mining proxy locally (using default parameters is fine) and point some of your miners to it (by default it listen on localhost:8332).

It is still experimental version, so don't be surprised if something will go wrong :-). Anyway, submitted shares should be accounted under your profile as normally...

P.S. As my "thank you" for your help you should see very, very low stale ratio.

P.P.S. Of course please report issues if any. Problems with installation, runtime errors, authorization errors, rejected shares, whatever...

I would be more then happy to point one of my miners at it, but I am afraid I don't really know how, still a new miner.  I did download it though but have no idea what to do from there.

I was able to get the private key, dropped in in drop box, added the .key extension, loaded up multibit and imported the key, worked like a charm.  Thank you for the help, i didn't think the key was going to be compatible because the extensions were different.

31  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Bitcoin wallet for android won't send any transactions. on: September 08, 2012, 08:29:44 PM
I am trying to empty the wallet on my android after having a few issues with it, but the wallet won't actually send anything, it receives coins fine but won't ever send any.  After about 16 hours i do a blockchain/transaction reset and my coins come back so that makes me believe that it obviously never makes it to the net.  Can I get some help here.

Been looking into bitcoin mining for some time, but didn't take the plunge till last week, I hope I didn't wait to long.  But I am currently mining with 2 x5850's with and average rate of 463Mhash/s, and am thinking about upgrading to 2 x7950's or 7970's just don't know how much that will improve my rate and if the upgrade would be worth it.

I figure I will throw in a picture of my current rig, will post it in the pictures topic once I clear the newbie status.  I also read through the first few posts in the "Don't Trust Anyone" thread, and am curious to see if the online exchanges have gotten any more trustworthy in the year since that has been written.  Specifically MT.Gox as that is where I plan to sell my coins at and exchange.bitparking.com as that is where I plan to trade the namecoins for bitcoins.  If those aren't trustworthy or there are better ones I am always open to advice.

You can match that MHash rate with a single 7950, fyi.


Thank you, I was trying to find hashrates on the 7950/7970's but google was kicking my ass.  I did do some clocking and optimizing last night and am now averaging 566/Hhashs with the two cards.  And plan on adding three more cards to the rig just not sure which ones yet.  But so far I think this is a pretty good way to retire my old gaming rig.

I did notice in your screenshot that it appears you're using the cards in a Crossfire configuration.  The advice I've heard is to not use Crossfire for a mining rig.  I don't have multiple cards, though, so it's never been an issue for me.


I do leave the bridge on there but disable crossfire for mining, just don't go in and take the bridge off, have tested with and without it, and each card still hits 285-295 either way..  I did learn the hardway for the first week about leaving it enabled though.  Thanks for the reply though, and I am sure it will help some of the other members out.

I may be missing something but I installed cryptonite linked it to dropbox, and can not find my wallet file on the phone, it should be stored in /data/data/de.schildbach.wallet/files  But I am finding nothing in /data, do i need to root my phone first(haven't gotten around to rooting my new phone yet).

I think I got it sorted, rooted the phone and that opened up browsing of the /data folder, encrypted the dropbox folder uploaded the

/data/data/de.schildbach.wallet/files/wallet-protobuf
and
/data/data/de.schildbach.wallet/files/key-backup-base58

those are the files i needed to back up right there was also a key-backup-base58.54 and key-backup-base 58.55, do I need to back those up also?
35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / wallet backup question on: September 02, 2012, 01:55:06 AM
I have been looking around and not sure if this is the right place for this, but i am using the bitcoin for android as a wallet right now and would like to back it up. Is there a way to do this or should I use a different wallet and only use the one current one for small amounts?

Also does the wallet need to be backed up again with every deposit or will the original back up sync when I restore it?

I think its been a pretty fair rule, but I do have to say it has been hard finding anything worth posting on in the newbie section.
