My rig run's between 480MHs to 514Mhs. I have found two blocks on Ozco and one on BTC Guild. Also have a low end GPU that gets around 34 Mhs that mines whenever this computer is on and it mines solely on BTC Guild so it may have been the machine that found the BTC Guild block. I have no idea how many share's I had submitted when these were found as I wasn't paying attention at the time.

I would like to see a forum thread with ONLY pools in it. These extraneous topic's are very distracting and should be separate from pools since the pool forums are mainly for pool information and support. Then being stickied wouldn't be necessary.
Sam
You'd prefer one board for pools and one board for pool related subjects? Yep, or a Pool only board with a child board for general pool discussion/subjects. Sam |

times of 5 hours to solve a block are gone.
Gone, yes. But only until they come back. And 5 hour blocks will come back from time to time, they always do. What pool is it different on? |

As you may know, our pool is offering PPS mode too, so we are very careful about possible bugs that may cause longer rounds because we are paying our own funds to our clients during bad luck periods.
You removed the option on the site for payment types eg. pps or is it in a sneaky place where i cant see it :p thx It's in the same place it has always been. Just click on the worker and change the config under worker payout method. Sam |

I am most certainly not going to give one more second's thought to scrypt.
Don't mean to make you think of it, but, what the heck is "scrypt" anyway? Sam |

Everywhere I stumble across one of your posts Graet, you seem so bitter/sarcastic/hating..
Now that is the most ridiculous statement I've seen on these forums yet Sam |

Please email me the old binaries kernel@kolivas.org (one at a time or email will reject them), thanks! I have almost all the Windoze binaries from 2.0 to current. Do you want all of them? Let me know I would be happy to email them to you. Thanks, Sam |

I must be misunderstanding something, or perhaps the default is different and I don't know it? But when I'm solo mining, tons of shares are going to other pools. But it doesn't happen when I'm not solo.. is there some kind of flag I need to use? It's acting like --balance when it's not enabled, only when I'm solo mining though. I would take from this that --balance is the new default, but it's not like it does that if I simply change to work for a pool instead of going solo. I am so confused, haha.  It's not the default, it's just that a local bitcoind is actually really quite slow compared to a pool. You probably want to enable --failover-only to cope. I just tried enabling solo mining on my machine and initially it leaked some shares to the backup pools and then again when there was a new block, but then it settles down and mines solo till the next block and repeats the cycle. This seems like normal behavior to me. This machine uses two GPU's at about 510Mhs. Sam |

any magnitude rig will be kept solidly busy
What is a "magnitude rig"? New pool strategy: Balance.
--balance Change multipool strategy from failover to even share balance
This is to differentiate itself from the existing pool strategy, Load balance:
--load-balance Change multipool strategy from failover to efficiency based balance
Now I finally know what load balance means and understand why I never got balanced shares across pools/servers. Thanks for the clarification. the imbalance between pools that support rolltime and those that don't will now be extreme in load balance strategy.
What exactly is "rolltime"? Thanks, Sam |

Last I checked there was very little hopping activity going on, but it would be nice for someone to have a look at current data.
Really? The way some people are talking pool hopping is a rampant evil running amok threatening to destroy the profitability of us miners too stupid to stop it. Why is it that the only way to stop hopping is for us non hopper miners to stop using Deepbit? Of course Deepbit being the only proportional pool and therefore the only hoppable pool, can you really call it hopping anymore? Just some random questions. I'm sure the only answer I'll get is that I'm a moron. Let the flames begin  Sam |

When using the load balance feature between 2 pools, I always have more accepted shares on pool 0 than pool 1. If I switch the pools on my .conf file I get the same result. Pool 0 always has a considerably higher amount of accepted shares than pool 1.
I have noticed a similar behavior too, but with me pool 3 gets almost all of the shares and pools 0, 1 and 2 get starved. Sam This is simply that one pool has rolltime and the others do not. It's such an efficient option that it's really a waste of resources to not use it on the one pool since the others have not moved out of the dark ages. But I guess I could add more black magic to cope with that.... I'm not worried about it, especially with the explanation's of the probable cause. Thanks, Sam |

Any thought on introducing DGM to deepbit?
Why fix what ain't broke? because it is broken, deepbit miners have to pay a "hopper" tax currently That doesn't seem to dissuade 3.5TH of miners from mining there. What this says about the miners is up for debate by the psychologists. Hoppers win, regular miners mine like worker ants blissfully unaware and happy. Seems like a good symbiotic relationship to me... Somehow I can't see it lasting though <_< Has anyone calculated/estimated this "hopper tax" on Deepbit? When Ozco was proportional it was very easy to see the amount of hopper traffic. It was about 300 GHash. At that time Ozco was a 30 to 50 GHash pool so this probably did have a large effect on the payouts, I imagine. But Deepbit is and has been a 3 to 5 THash pool, so if the hopper traffic is the same or similar 300GHash then payout losses to full time miners would be less, maybe even negligible. I mine on Deepbit blissfully aware that I am using the most reliable pool available. That means allot when I have to leave my rig unattended for a week or two at a time. It's even worth the "Outrageous" 3% fee, in my opinion. Sam |

When the day BTC becomes backed by gold, then it'll be a real currency.
Bitcoin is backed by the value of the hashpower that mined it. Sam |

call me crazy I have always dealt with a Bitcoin as a Bitcoin - not a $5 or $11 or $30 dollar piece.
Graeme, I wish more people had that attitude. That is why I am interested in Bitcoin in the first place, because it is an alternative currency not because it's an investment instrument. I was really disappointed when I discovered that I/we were in the minority. I can understand the pragmatism of the big time miners who have invested allot in equipment and electricity who want/need a return on investment. But I don't think mining to just dump bitcoins on the market as a get rich quick scheme is good for bitcoin. Sam |

Why fix what ain't broke? It's broken for those who don't hop. I would say broken for those who are uninformed, which are most likely a precious few. |

FINALLY OZCOIN MAKES THE BIGTIME
OUR FIRST DDOS
us.ozco.in and the www server are taking the brunt I can't get to the web site either. Just the thought of a fee makes you a target. Sorry about that. Such a sad state of affairs. When did people get the idea everything should be free? There ain't nothin in life free. Never mind the fact that if you would have gotten the donation level you requested to stay in business you wouldn't have had to take this step. I hope it all works out. Thanks for the good work and I hope you will keep it up. Take Care, Sam |
