Ok ya'll. BT has got the entire pool down to .57% stales because of his work to get poolserverj up and running on both servers. If nothing else, put your donation % at your normal rate + the % he is saving you on stales by getting the new server technology up and running!

Well, I can tell you that if I had a personal pool,  I might solo mine.  but running many puter and paying for elec without seeing any progress is difficult.  I lasted about 8 hours last time I tried to solo.

I would be interested.

I'm glad to hear it. Would you be willing to pay for the pleasure of using such software. If so, would you want to wait until you found a block to pay or would you pay in $$$ on a per month basis?

I am pretty sure there is an opensource solution for this already.. comes with a website and everything,

I am sure you can setup pushpoold / simplecoin if you are a web developer. I am thinking of a more "done for you" solution that can quickly get someone less technical up and running in minutes instead of days. I have seen multiple threads that attest to the sleepless nights that are needed to get a pool up and running.

I am thinking that there is a product here that can help with these pain points...

Thoughts?

Doesn't something similiar exist at triplemining?

Interesting. Seems they have a multiple pool concept but they are taking 1% for a jackpot and payback to pool owners. I am not sure I would go this route. They also show the stats of all pools in one display on their site. What do you think of their approach?
2886  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Solo mining pool with stats / graphs / reliability on: October 03, 2011, 12:59:29 PM
Im interested,  i have posted a few times asking for this. 

What kind of price point do you think is reasonable?
2887  Bitcoin / Mining / Solo mining pool with stats / graphs / reliability on: October 03, 2011, 12:09:58 PM
Would anyone in the mining community be interested in a pool offering that basically allowed you to have your own pool for solo mining? I have been tossing the idea around in my head and wanted to see if there was any interest.

The service would basically allow you to setup your own pool at a sub-domain of your choice (or maybe your own domain), pick your payout variant (prop, pplns, smpps) and whether to allow others to register. There would be some basic styling options for the header and killer visualization of your data through better charting and reporting (which is my specialty). Anyone could sign up and mine with just their friends or try to run a profitable pool through signing up for the service.

Does something like this already exist? Am I missing something in the complexity of such a service?

Would you be willing to pay for such a service? If so, how much? With the difficultly coming down and the pain of not really knowing what's going on when your solo mining, I though this might be a good offering to develop for the community.

EDIT:

Features:

- Your pool keeps transaction fees along with the entire BTC released from the block after 120 confirms.
- Add your donation address to your website along with a other textual / visual changes.
- Customize the header of your pool's public facing website.
- Stats for your pool are not intermingled with other pools on the system.
- Multiple payment plans to suite solo mining and others wanting to market and grow a pool.
- Redundancy at the pool software, database and web tiers.

Is there something wrong with pool payouts?  Pool Unpaid is sitting at 230+ BTC, but there have not been any unusually large blocks lately.  That's the highest it's been in a while, right?  Huh  (Yes, I realize how SMPPS works.)


This is a normal occurrence if the amount of "confirmed" btc is less than the total amount of work completed. The pool can get to this state with a single 11m round block or more slowly with multiple 4m round blocks over a longer period of time. A good way to visualize the luck of the pool is here -> http://stats.nuradu.com/
2889  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Dynamic ip addresses on server farm - how do you manage changing ip's? on: October 03, 2011, 01:20:40 AM
Use reservations in the router so that the same MAC's get the same IP's every time. Easier to do that then assign statics to each machine. Basically the same thing but easier to implement.

My Cisco wrv210 router only allows for 20 reservations. Is there anyway to get around this limitation. I will soon have more that 20 rigs and dymanic were a big PITA until recently.
2890  Economy / Goods / [WTB] 6 5830s or 5850s on: October 02, 2011, 01:47:40 PM
I would like to buy 6 5830s or 6 5850s or a combination of the two. I have the btc / cash to pay and would like to get these rather quickly. Please make sure you have some rep in the community and post pics of the equipment. If you are bitcoin mining, what core/mem clocks are you using and what is your fan speed.
2891  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BAMT - Easy persistent USB key based linux for dedicated miners/mining farms on: October 02, 2011, 01:28:21 AM

Code:
for p in `ps --no-heading -o pid -C screen`; do pstree -apG $p; done

will show all processes associated with each GPU


Thanks for this.

Has there been any discussion of using cgminer with bamt at all? Has anyone setup cgminer as an alternative miner on bamt? Seems like there have been some interesting features added into cgminer recently that would really help out.
2892  Economy / Speculation / Re: Kodak The Wheels Come off on: October 01, 2011, 11:29:16 AM
So first digital camera was released in crude form some time around 1994. Here we are about 17 years later and Kodak has fell apart. In 1994 had you told them their business is done for they may have laughed in your face and showed you a copy of their current earnings.

If you take a look at western union and the fact that the fist P2P currency was released in 2009 then then I think by 2026 they will fold. I think if anything bitcoins are closest to wiretransfers of a sort.

By this point about 19,000,000 Bitcoins will exist and based on westernunion's current valuation compared to bitcoin at that point would make each bitcoin worth about $495 each. This would be a growth rate of about $30 per year not considering inflation of USD.

Western Union also seems to be near a low like all stocks over the last few months. Another thing to consider is a stock valuation has all of its inefficiencies baked in so what might they be worth if they had no employees rent or any other costs.



Interesting insight. As you suggest, there is definitely a long road ahead with making it simpler to use bitcoin, getting more merchants on board, polishing the products and services around bitcoin and everything else I haven't thought of.

Server2 does seem massively more stable than before. Nice work.

/knocks on wood.


I'm at .2812% stales for today on server2. Massive improvement over pushpool and it hasn't crapped out since it was started up. Big thanks for BT for finding the time to get poolserverj up and running for us!

Those 5970 really blow the hot air out the 'front' of the card, so will you be mounting these new rigs in a reverse direction then all the others?  so the house fans blow the air from back to front?

All of the hot air on my 5970s blow out the metal end of the card where you plug in the monitor. If you look at the bottom of the rack in the picture above, you can see they are sitting reverse from the rest of the machines. All of the other cards rely on pressure in a normal computer case to help blow the hot air in the right direction so when they are in the open, they don't do what they are supposed to.

What mobos do you use ?

Here's the deal. We need to get BurningToad more motivated to work on the pool. It's already awesome and rock solid, but there is more to do and it needs to get done so ars can keep being the best pool ever.

To do my part, I am donating 100% of my BTC to honor a bounty I put up to have poolserverj installed on server2. It's up, i'm paying. But I need your help to light a fire under BTs ass and to show him we want to support the pool.

Others have already joined me including jimbit and l1l1ll11l11. Meatball has been donating heavily all along.

I'm not saying to donate everything forever, but let's show BT that we want to have the best pool around and that we support his efforts.

How often do you have a card fail? What is your replacement cycle and cost? Are they all the same card model? Would be good to know what the best buy is in cards.

Cards I use:

MSI 6950s x 15
Sapphire 5830s x 50
AMD 5970s x 12

Everything is stable now but i popped 4 5970s before i started using extenders with the molex. Also popped 3 6950s from when i first started and thought it was cool to run the cards at 100c. Also had 3 5830s that didn't want to be overclocked so i sent them back and got new ones. I have also sent back 6 PSUs and have probably 5 MBs that still need to be RMA'd.

28" Huh only resolution matters

I'd use a display that rotate,  1080x1920 is almost double.

the resolutions is 1920x1200. They are mounted on the wall but are not able to swivel with the position of the desk at the moment.

Question: Is there an easy was to figure out which GPU is locking up on a rig? I can still log into the box and can run the top command and can see that a phoenix thread is defunct. But how can I correlate that to a specific GPU?
2900  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Mining Farm Cooling on: September 28, 2011, 10:09:30 AM
Do I count 90 GPU's there  Shocked

69 on the rack + another 13 elsewhere.
