201  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 4hrs (now 24+) and still unconfirmed? on: August 04, 2011, 11:20:34 PM
There's a patch to include your own non-fee blocks for bitcoind I was just told about.

That would probably make more sense for Tycho vs. upping the limit of non-fee blocks since that opens up someone to abuse/spam non-fee transactions.

Probably need to talk to Tycho about implementing/patching on his pool.

You want deepbit to reduce 0.01 BTC from your payment & use it as transaction fee to transfer bitcoins to your address?

Would be nice as an option since it looks like a lot of pool operators aren't processing no-fee transactions anymore.  So being able to set a 0.0005 BTC to 0.01 BTC on the transaction payment from DB would be nice so it doesn't end up being hours, or even days, until your TX is confirmed in a block.

As of this post, I see transactions that are over 16 hours old now in the queue. -- Mine, from DB, is 13 hours old now and the TX for it still hasn't been completed in any new blocks generated.

204  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: A friendly plea to pool operators... on: August 04, 2011, 03:32:21 AM
I know some pools are "refusing" to accept free transactions.
I make free transactions and think it would be hypocritical of me and bad for Bitcoin generally if I were to refuse to include free transactions in my pools blocks.

From Blockexplorer, I see solved blocks which don't include any free transactions at all.

I understand the logic behind fee and no-fee transactions, but when nearly 95% or more of the solved blocks are coming from the Top 4-5 pool operators because they aggregate to being 95% of the total network hash rate... Those 4-5 people are the ones controlling what transactions are being processed and which ones aren't.

There are 937 unconfirmed transactions (304627 bytes):

There are 868 low priority transactions.

As of August 4th, 2011, 2:06:53 AM UTC:

There are 803 unconfirmed transactions (252105 bytes):

There are 756 low priority transactions.


Can you guys up the limit of low-priority/free TX's that are included with solved blocks?

While I have some money in the bank, my overall amount of money is in the negatives. I owe money thanks to loans for school. So I guess it would be good for me (at this point in time) if the dollar crashed! Inflation means I pay back my debt with dollars that are worth less than when I borrowed them! I think I got that right, as long as I remembered economics from high school.

So you're not paying interest on your loans?

Deepbit is a pool. Is it really smart to refuse its own tx's?

You're assuming DB uses the same bitcoind as the bitcoind that [Tycho] issues payments.  I highly doubt they are the same and if it is, that's a huge security risk as far as setting up pools and issuing payments to pool members.  [Tycho] has already confirmed that he only keeps a 'minimal' amount of BTC's on-hand for payments so I'm sure he's running at least a few different wallets/bitcoind's.

Did you check your transaction in blockexplorer? The link is the date column in the Deepbit payments page
You have all the 139497 blocks? If so, you should contact them

For the OP, it won't show up in Blockexplorer yet.  OP verified it's still an unconfirmed transaction (TX) via http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/ (which is down right now).  He has all the blocks on his client I believe.

209  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Growing Mh/s discrepancy on deepbit, showing about 1Gh/s less than actual? on: August 03, 2011, 08:32:07 PM
My miners typically run at around 7.5 Gh/s these days.  For the past month, that's been pretty much in accord with what my account on the deepbit website reports.   It's maybe off by 100-300 Mh/s.

For the last couple of days, however, my account on deepbit consistently shows about 1 Gh/s less than what my machines are reporting (output from DiabloMiner).

Anyone else notice this?  It's both odd and annoying.  It's also affecting my daily BTC mining quota.

Are you looking at the 'Average Speed' calculation where you can set the average calculations between 5 minutes and 60 minutes, or on the right-side of https://deepbit.net/account where it shows your calculated MH/s speed from the # of shares submitted for the last 7 blocks?

A payment FROM Deepbit is unconfirmed?
As they put payments in the blocks they find, it's kinda weird...

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees

On the other hand, nobody mining new bitcoins necessarily needs to accept the transactions and include them in the new block being created. The transaction fee is therefore an incentive on the part of the bitcoin user to make sure that a particular transaction will get included into the next block which is generated.

Basically, it's up to the people/pools in determining which TX's are accepted and put into the new blocks as they are found.  As you've noticed, those people/pools have been ignoring the low-priority/no-fee ones lately.

http://blockexplorer.com/

Check the 'Transactions' column.

Did you try to restart the bitcoin client?

That won't help until the TX is 'posted' into a block, which hasn't happened yet.

It seems that most pools solving blocks basically ignore most low-priority TX's (i.e. no-fee transactions) at this point.  Which is why there's so many unconfirmed transactions lately.

So, this hasn't happened before.

"Got paid" this morning at 10:00am EDT as I normally do. 

Transaction is still showing as 0/unconfirmed over 4 hours later (2:09pm EDT as of this post) on my client.  Block explorer also shows nothing.  I am running the latest BTC client which currently has 12 connections and 139477 blocks.

Help?

Go here:

http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/

Search for the Bitcoin address the payment was sent to.

10 BTC's says it's still an unconfirmed TX...

And on schedule after a difficulty change...

Stats are back.  But you can sorta figure out if the pool has been lucky or not by watching your rolling 24 hr. payout...

I was making say $210.00 per day at $14.50 and the old difficulty and now at $11.75 and the new difficulty say i'm making $110.00 per day


If you're excluding electricity costs, you were mining 14.5 btc per day at the old 1690906 difficulty level at about 24.4 GH/s.  At the new difficulty level of 1888786, you're making about 13 btc per day and at $11.75 per btc, that's a hair over $150 USD per day.

11.7% jump in difficulty... 19% drop in BTC to USD value...

Just ride it out.  You must of had a relatively large investment in mining hardware.

With the new difficulty combined with today's CRAPTASTIC prices hovering in the high 11.9's compared to the last difficulty and prices around 14 i'm losing about $100 per day. Are you guys selling or hoarding? This shit is giving me heartburn lately.

You pay over $100 per day in electricity costs?

I just increased my free TX limit for including. Hope this will deal with the queue.

Awesome. Thank you =)

I'm guessing this is one of our blocks then... Will find out in less than an hour Wink

EDIT: Yes... it was!

There are 781 unconfirmed transactions (225701 bytes):

There are 765 low priority transactions.


It's pretty bad right now.  There's still TX's from July 30th @ 16:00 UTC which hasn't been cleared yet.

This is one of the fallacies & cons of the Bitcoin network.

I'm sure you are aware that most traditional coin shops will charge you 6.5% or so.

Which country?
