Is the thought of having each worker (client) with their own user/pass? If so, how to add a new worker?
You can use many miners on the same account. In the next update i'll add worker creation. |

Might be a silly question but: Is this pool viable for someone with a laptop?
Yes, if you understand that you can't mine any serious amount of BTC by CPU with current difficulty. But you can try, escpecially with Pay-Per-Share mode. |

Deepbit is also open, though the SSE2 miner ("bitcoin-miner.exe") is not compatible. You'd have to use the RPC miner or jgarzik's CPU miner.
May be ufasoft will fix his miner soon, i told him about the bug. |

Hello, ufasoft. I'm trying to use your miner with my pool http://deepbit.net but looks like your implementation of HTTP protocol differs from other miners. Why aren't you sending "Authorization" field in http headers ? |

Is there a way to trigger a manual payment? I can't seem to find anything to do that. I've also set the automated payment to be 0.01 just to see if it'd auto-transfer but I don't see any change in my wallet or to the account info on the website.
Are all of these things delayed by an hour?
Yes, they do. Actually i mentioned that during beta stage all payments are processed daily. I just forced your payment manually. |

Are CPU miners not supported? It's okay if not. I just don't want to continue messing with this trying to make it work.
Just tested jgarzik's CPU miner and it worked fine for me. Try to use -P key and see, what it's trying to parse. Then copy it and send to me by private message, i'll try to resolve. BTW it's deepbit.net, not www.deepbit.net. But works anyway. Sent! ..At least I think..my outbox is always empty even after I send a PM. It bugs me. But yeah...I think it should be in your inbox! Got it. You are trying to connect to port 80 instead of 8332. Use http://deepbit.net:8332 as URL |

Software update in progress, may result in ~2 minutes of downtime, sorry.

I just want to make sure i've understood the difference, please ...
Proportional: Reward is based on finding a block. (I think i'm wrong here)
Pay-per-Share: Reward is based on the number of shares submitted, and the price specified on the homepage per share.
Yes, you are right. Proportional: you get your part of the block when it's found. If you submitted 10000 shares and the block took 20000 to solve, you get half of all the reward. Pay-per-Share: you get that fixed price for every share instantly, even if block is not found yet. |

What happens if you switch from proportional to per-share in the middle of this block if you've gotten a lot of shares in proportional? Will I still get credit for all of those shares?
I think the difficulty will be going up in the next couple hours (block 110880), so hopefully somebody in this pool solves a block before then.
No shares will be lost, mode switch is seamless and you'll receive both parts of reward. I hope so, this one block is really hard :) |

Hehe, I was about to ask the exact same question. Did one share at PayPerShare before switching to Proportional for a few hours. Would be nice to see an "expected reward" field like with slush's pool to avoid confusion here, but it's not too big a deal.
There is not so many users yet, so first blocks take long time to find. When this 4th block will be found, reward will be added to your balance. dishwara generated 77 shares, at this moment it's ~0.11% of the block (which is not found yet). |

I'll second this, I've gotten it about 5 times in the past 5 hours w/ Diablo on a GTX460, I also have cpuminer-0.7 going and got a few "not enough semaphores" or some such. Most of the time Diablo recovers and keeps going, once it went like 20min without doing any work before I killed it.
Should I have a separate account/worker set-up for the cpuminer? I currently have them both logged in to the same user.
Also, I think everything is fine, but should I be expecting more than ~8Mh/s out of an i7 860 and 44Mh/s out of a GTX 460?
You can run many miners on same account, it's ok. Today i'll add the option to create new workers. This table says that you should get ~68 MH/s on GTX460 @ 1350 MHz. Looks like you should try another miner. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparisonI'll try to find out the cause of that bug with DiabloMiner today too. |

First of all thanks for setting up a second pool for everybody; I recently got into the BTC hype but was having trouble going at it alone. I've been running for about 8 hours with little to no problems, although I don't have much to compare to seeing this is the first pooled experience I have. The only issue I've seen so far is occasionally DiabloMiner will give the following feedback:
85413/90697 khash/secException in thread "DiabloMiner Executor (GeForce GTX 295
(#1)/2)" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.DiabloMiner$DeviceState$ExecutionState$Ge
tWorkParser.parse(DiabloMiner.java:731)
I thought that I fixed this issue yesterday... Ok, will check again, thanks for your report :) |

Same speeds as on Slush's server, but am getting no stale's or invalids so far. So I'll be switching over for the time being as the stales/invalids were costing me as much as 5-10 percent. I think it may be the load on Slush's server, so hopefully yours will not have the same problem as it gets popular. I'll leave 2 5970's on your server and the other 2 on Slush's and compare after awhile. But, so far, excellent. I'd like to see even more competition to ease up the load on the various pools. I see this is in Beta. Hopefully you will not have much downtime. If you're down for an hour in a day, for example, that would cost well over the commission.
I'm not expecting load problems yet, it's really easy to avoid. Beta actually means that i'm gradually adding features and looking carefully if everything works fine. Downtime was about 5-10 seconds in last two days, due to software updating. |

After using the Pay-Per-Share for a few hours it seems to be working just pukka, apart from a slightly odd behaviour in the Account Balance ( http://deepbit.net/acc.php) It appears to track each new share perfectly in the balance sometimes, then will 'rewind' to an earlier value. Possibly in conjunction with an hourly balance update? Thanks for your bug report. Just fixed that for displaying pay-per-share rewards. |

EDIT: Still, it would be nice if the right data was placed there, so I'd at least know which real block I am contributing to!
Do you clearly understand what a "share" is and why you are working with difficulty-1 task ? Just wanted to be sure. |

I keep seeing this hash in the "prev_block" field in the data of the work that I get from deepbit.net : b84401536a5ec2fca283157d1ba9b80c0259a63954659d20000113dd00000000
Have you tried to look at other pool's work or your local bitcoin's one ? 3 blocks already found and they are surely not from testnet :) |

* Connection #0 to host www.deepbit.net left intact
JSON decode failed(1): '[' or '{' expected near '<'
json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds Any ideas? Which miner do you use ? It this a consistent error ? |

That's actually really important! That's a 10% (statistical average) fee instead of the 3% fee for "Proportional" that you mention in your first post.
I don't think the 10% is out of line, just that it is important that it be disclosed as different.
Price per share is given with high precision, so it wasn't a secret. As you know, it's the same as in other pool, so i decided that it's suitable rate. It can't be compared directly with 3% fee because it's 10% of unknown value for me. It may be more and may be less, comparing to proportional mode. If some block takes longer to find, this will be more than in Proportional. |
