I don't see such an option. I also don't understand the "Minimum value for automatic payment" option. Is there an automatic payment whenever the balance reaches this value?
Open your account page, scroll down to workers list, click on worker name and you'll see it's configuration. After finishing tests, payments will be sent every hour if it's more than given threshold. Also, at the top, with green letters is a "0.00 MH/s" label about "Average speed". I know that my client is calculating hashes at around 1Mh/s, but it's not reporting it to you. Is there some protocol for doing that? I can't find any good documentation for this "standard" getwork protocol. I had to read code and packet dumps.
Actually it's a luck meter, it just counts number of received shares per given time interval. If it shows, for example, 10 MH/s, then at this moment you are just as lucky as someone with 10 MH/s speed. Currently it's set to 7 minutes, which is shorter than interval between your shares. |

Now you can try some new exciting feature - optional Pay-Per-Share mode is enabled in my pool.
I'm curious, being new to pooled mining--what is the motivation for choosing one mode over the other? Is it to remove some of the luck component? I can see that maybe if the pool as a whole is really unlucky and doesn't solve a block then each share in "proportional" would be worth less than if the pool solves it faster. Does the current pay rate you have there represent the statistical average rate we would expect in proportional mode anyway? Depends on people. Some just like getting their cents now, some can wait. Some feel lucky and some - not. Price is calculated as (50 / current difficulty) - 10%, exactly as other pay-per-share pools, just some nano-coins more because of higher precision :) |

Current rate is 0.0012342331201539 BTC per share.

In other words, if your own miners are on the same LAN,
(or very close-by from a latency P.O.V.) your failure rate
will be much lower than that of someone who is 300ms
away. Actually no, i'm 144 ms away from DC :) |

My miner logs start to show a small rate of failed RPCs ... out of curiosity,
(and unless it's a trade secret :) ) do you load balance the incoming RPC stream
to multiple instances of the C++ bitcoin daemon ? If so, can you tell us what's
your load balancing strategy (i.e. how many RPC/s do you send to each instance)
Actually i don't need load balancing at this moment. My tests showed that one instance will be enough for much more users. I have some plans for this, but there are no problems with it yet. I'm mining in my pool myself and don't see any RPC failures, except for some moments when pool software was updated. Are you sure it's not a problem with your connection ? You can run a ping -t deepbit.net and look if there is packet loss at the same time with RPC failures. |

Thanks for setting this up Tycho. Nice, simple start is good :-)
Let me know if you need any gfx/design to pimp up the deepbit.net site at any point as that is in my line.
You are welcome :) Thanks for your offer, i'll tell if some help will be needed. |

This might be a noobish question, but I've been receiving shares for a while now, but my account is on 0.0000000 bitcoins still...
Your account will be credited during the first hour after finding the block (approximately every 36500 shares received by pool from all users). Currently i'm implementing pay-per-share option, that will increase balance after each share. Will be available soon. EDIT: Heh, two posts already appeared while i was answering :) |

Well, I can't get any miner to work with the CPU I'm trying to donate to your pool - m0mchil's won't work, and I can't get Diablo's to function. I'll have to wait a few more days before I'm back to my main miner to throw some hash/s your way for testing.
I didn't realize that the pool had to be configured to accept a particular miner - that's too bad. I was under the impression that I could use any miner, such as ufasoft's CPU miner (which is my current CPU miner), and connect to any pool that was around.
Oh, now i see what's your problem. ufasoft's CPU miner is the only one that is not supported by my pool because it's not fully compliant with the protocol (as i see it). I said this in the first post. m0mchil's and Diablo's miners are mainly for GPU, not CPU miners. |

Same problem with authorization problems, I'm just assuming that the pool is down for right now. "username" for miner is our email address, correct?
No, the pool isn't down. In case of troubles you can look at pool speed indicator in the upper left part of webpage. Same answer as to previous poster - try your old password. Worker management page will be added in less than a hour, then you'll be able to set worker password and change reward scheme. |

already tried "hallo", didnt work either. Looks like i know what's wrong with your auth. When you change your password on the site, it changes only your account password, not the worker's one. So if you created your account and then changed your pw, then you need to use your OLD password in miner. It's temporary condition while i'm implementing workers management, but if you give me your account name, i can clone your password to worker's one. Or just create new account. |

tycho, you have any idea why i get auth errors?
the login and password work for the homepage... ??? I'll look into resolving this. Try changing your password to one containing only letters and numbers. |

what could contributors lie about?
the only way of "cheating" is the same you mentioned above, legitimately contribute work to the pool and "pool-hopping" as discussed in other threads. About completing a share... Without verification, what stops someone from just making up answers? "Yup, found a hash. Yup, found a hash. Yup, found a hash". I can appreciate that checking those from hundreds of clients puts a bit of a load on the server, but it seems just plain necessary to keep the scum out of the pool. Of course every share is checked by pool. Why do you think that it doesn't ? |

[Tycho]: I think your calculation of "Average speed in last 5 minutes" is wrong. It shows that I have 14.20 MH/s with my CPU (which I wish I had) whereas I have ~1.4 MH/s now.
your "Average speed in last 5 minutes" is calculated by the number of shares you submitted, in lucky times (were you find lots of diff1 hashes in a very short time) you might see much more speed than you actually do, in unlucky times, you see less speed. overall it seems pretty accurate, an increased timeframe for calculation might improve accuracy a bit though. Yes, it's like "luck meter" because when it shows 14 MH/s, you have same luck as someone with 14 MH/s :) May be i'll change it to 10 minutes, but it's initial purpose was to show the variation. Which timezone is used for datetimes on the website, please?
GMT it seems, correct me if i'm wrong. Should be UTC, but it's almost the same. Thanks for helping people :) |

Please remove the word "fair" from your thread title. Implying that Slush is purposefully "unfair" is an offensive patently false lie propagated through an unwillingness to understand statistics. (and pure malice by some)
I didn't said anything about Slush, it's just you. |

Edit: Also, what about running headless? I've heard there's problems surrounding this but I really don't have a spare monitor to use. Am I going to have to get one, or what? I just plugged in VGA-to-Composite converter so it detected presence of "monitor" and allowed using OpenCL  |

May be he wants to create bitcoin addresses containing specific letter combinations in it.
Will be nice to have some with human-readable portion :)

I see this like QR-code-based systems. When you order, for example, a hamburger in your starbucks, a waitress gives you your bill with QR-code containing bitcoin address, amount and description. You point your smartphone camera at this code and bc client sends money to the shop. After seeing that this transaction is confirmed, they can let you go |

Though fun I don't really understand the point of this. For backing your wallet you can just shut down the software and make a copy of wallet.dat. For moving coins between different wallets you can just send them as regular transactions.
Is there a use case for exporting private keys I haven't grokked yet?
It would be funny to have the possibility of taking bitcoins to base reality. Like printing on a paper and giving to someone or making a QR-code. Also they can be embedded in files like pictures and so on - mostly for fun, but not only. P.S.: After Wolrd War III, when there will be no internet, we will have to consider other ways of bitcoin exchange. |

Круто. Сам, признаться думал о подобном, но считал что уже не осталось идиотов, ставящих на комп с деньгами левые бинарники без исходников. Исходники там внутри нашли, это была джава |

Вы себя ведете, словно и вправду виновны. Я пока не видел никаких доказательств Вашей вины. Вы действительно думаете что он может быть невиновен ? |
