I will donate 1 BTC to the finder of a block on TM in the next 2½ hours. I will give it to MrSam to distribute, and only his team knows who finds a block.

Why not create different workers? I have two workers, one Pro, one PPS.

I was not mining in Eligius' pool, but good to know.  It's clear I didn't get the 50BTC, but I was allowed to keep 0.02+ of the fees as a reward, me-thinks.

yeah, 21 minutes into the new block, and we are already over 200 Ghps.

May I suggest you edit the Thread's Title to reflect this?

Nope. That uses CPU power, and I'm not "generating" with them.


I don't know how to tell. There is no "received with" line, it's only "Generated."  When I double click it, all I see is generic info like:

Nope.  I don't even know who Luke is.  Let me explain my set up and you'll see how weird this is.

I'm mining with two computers, one is my everyday PC. Both using Windows 7. My "working" computer (everyday pc) has 2 video cards, one that handles my two monitors, and the other GPU is only for mining. (it has a dummy plug) [a 6790 running 200mhps]

My other computer, which I call my rig, only has the 1 video card, which needs no monitor/dummy plug. It has a 6870 running 288mhps.

On this rig, I am running a bitcoin node (has a wallet).  My router is forwarding port 8332 to this rig, so the node has 8 connections.

On my working PC, I am running the node that "connects" to the rig's node. It shows only one connection, and my rig's shows 9 connections when this one is on.  The wallet I use for payouts is on my working computer.

When everything is going great over at triplemining, I have both GUIminers pointing there, with deepbit being the backup.  Well, there is a huge unlucky block at TM and I set my RIG's miner to deepbit for a few days, while my working computer's miner stays with TM.

Then on July 27 at 23:03 (USA Central Time) I see that I have generated 0.02331947 and it needs 120 blocks to confirm.  I visit TM's stats, and the long block is still there, so I didn't solve a block for them.  Then I visit deepbit and I can't tell who solved a block for the pool, but I assume that I did.

I have NEVER generated a block for a pool, or for solo mining before. I don't know what that looks like.  I thought I would solve a 50 BTC block and have it NOT credit my node.  But this, this 0.02 generation is boggling the mind.

I mean, the GPU who was mining at deepbit, is on the RIG, and the node on that right has not generated anything.  The GPU on my everyday working computer was/is mining at TM, yet this is the node that gets a generation reward.  (and it's connected through my rig)

I may never know. And I accept this now.

I got a question.  I'm mining at Deepbit and on TM, with two separate GPUs, one per rig. I am also running two BC nodes (one is backup).

This morning I found that one of my nodes Generated 0.02331947 coins. This is weird, I have never generated anything.  Now, my question is this... was this a block that I found FOR THE POOL? If so, why did I get the fees (i'm assuming they were the fees)

I will send half the coins purchased when I see the dwolla Pending transaction,
and the other half when it clears.  If you have a pre-funded dwolla, then it
clears instantly and I'll send all coins purchased at once.

PM me if you are interested.

I don't get it.  Do you mean to say "number 1" pool? I'm in USA, and "number" is shortened to "No" or "Nº" or "Num" or "#" but certainly not "NR."

I've been meaning to ask, why is the title to the thread now [NR 1] ? What does that mean?

Don't put all the stats in one basket.  I also agree with EskimoBob.  You could always have a 15 minute cache of the stats.

At least the bad block wasn't the 136 hour one!



That's good.  Looks better now that the confirmation column isn't ambiguous.

I'm kinda bummed that TM does not pay for invalid blocks. I guess that's what you get with a (nearly) no-fee pool in such an infancy. I mean, no percentage of the blocks (or block fees) are kept by the pool owners. So, there's nothing to insure bad beats. But that's poker. I mean life.

I love this game.  I doubled my deposit, after playing my last 5-bet hand. I got a flush, and then played beat the dealer twice in a row and won both times.

CPU mining on TM doesn't work for me either. But it's so low hash (2mhps) that I don't care.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but that thread has long been unstuck.  Diablo does have a "boss" and a "co-worker" of Diablo's informed me that Diablo was being reported.  Soon after, the thread got un-stickied.

BLOCK! 136992

Seems to be working now. I have one GPU on it. Will keep it there for the rest of the day. My other GPU is still on the old one.

EDIT: Seem to have some intermittent, yet temporary, connection failures.  299 shares so far, no stales.

I did that, and while it was hashing at 225 mhps, I didn't get any shares in 2 mintues.  I switched back.
