Is there any difference in pools by it's type? E.g. I'm using CPU mining client and it shows me 52553 khash/s with 40 clients now. Are GPU-clients mininng on another pool instance on the server?
You joined another pool.

Some stats that I gathered via the json interface: Blocks: 20 Difficulty: 12252.03471156 Mean shares per block: 15978.65 Std. deviation: 11854.889675889019 Std. deviation of mean: 2650.8339181048295 p: 0.1597754530320632
Thanks for your math! It looks correct for me (but I done exams from statistics "so-so" :-D). Hope more blocks in pool history will make p better. I will add 'bitcoin difficulty' to block history soon, so users will be able to check those numbers for long term.

but without the risk to lose it.
Yes, you can be scammed. I absolutely accept that people does not trust pool operator. It is their freedom of choice and Bitcoin is about freedom. I made pooled service with rising difficulty on mind, because I'd like to return my investment to mining hardware. Those periodic micropayments are lowering my own personal risk which I put in bitcoin idea. There were a days when I did not find a block even with strongest GPU on the market, which personally made me uncomfortable.

You might add a function for an automatic donation in %
You are not the first asking for this 'feature' (I'm surprised :-). So yes, plan to implement this soon. Also many thanks to people who sent me direct donations already, although there is not this feature on site yet!

I recommend you change PMS (Pooled Mining Server) to some other acronym. PMS is also a popular term for Premenstrual Syndrome used all the time in U.S. popular culture.
lol, everybody who live with woman know term "PMS". But I never used this term for my service; everybody call it simply 'pool'. Although all ideas for better service name are welcome :-)

Any chance you could add something to the "My Account" screen, or the stats page, that would show us how many shares we contributed to each past block? I'm just curious to see the info if possible.
Yes, I'm planning it, because I have this info in DB already. I will also add 'pay off' stats with time, addresses and amount, which were sent by system to people. Also, I call everybody to public confirmation that you are receiving yours rewards. Thanks!

Blocks 98656 and 98657 were both generated by the pool with less than 3 minutes in between. Total processing power is now at 6 Ghash/sec, with expected block on average every 100 minutes. Yes, it is really crazy. I was very excited once cluster crossed 1000 mhash/s edge. And I did not imagine we will be near 6ghash ever. But don't worry, server is still in great condition, so let's go!

I have an idea. Instead of paying by share of the block, the pool could pay a constant amount per share.
e.g slush's pool gives out work with difficulty 1 (I think), so on average there should be 12252.03471156 (current difficulty) shares per block. Each share is thus worth about 0.00408095 BTC, right?
I cannot do this. Mining is not exact and I cannot pay out you forward, before we find a block. EDIT: There is only some chance that we will find block on every x shares. I cannot handle this risk and pay out per share. For all - there is absolutely no other way than to trust me. Even opening sources will not solve this problem. If you don't trust me, you can leave the pool anytime. But you are welcome to join. There is only one check, what everybody can do by himself. You can sum your reward from pool for long term (say few months) and sum your potential reward if you mine standalone. But if you make this calculation properly and will take into also rising difficulty, I'm pretty sure your reward from pooled mining will be higher, because you will receive more cents before difficulty goes higher every week.

Checks for block maturity and sending rewards is now starting every hour at 0:00. 0 min.

I have been very open about all problems with accounting. Everything was solved, nobody was shorted in his reward. I have nothing to say anymore. Nobody is forced to trust me, but I don't understand why anybody spend so much time to go against me. That's all. For me, this topic is closed.

Check slush's thread. He now says that everyone has been paid.
NOW... gene. Now would be the time to flip your lid if you don't have your coins.

I just set this miner up and it appears to be working. However it is only running at about a third to a quarter of the hash speed I get when running the bitcoin client. It says it only has 1 miner thread started, do I need to increase that number in order for it to up it's speed?
I have a quad-core processor running Win7 64 if that matters.
Rise your 'threads' parameter to 4. Also play with 'algo' parameter, this can help a lot.

Gene will be payed out in next round. Cdecker, I agree there was some misconception in payment before. I din't say system worked perfectly. I believe they care about their 0.6 bitcoins. But I 10x said "ok, I know about it, I'm working to make it better". I already made it better and explained why I cannot send money from old blocks instantly. So I don't know what to say more. Guys, I completely reworked system to be more fair. Again, it was pure technical issue, that I did not expect more than block for a day or two. Ok, just to make the situation clear, please post the amounts outstanding and which blocks they were generated in (if you know). So we can actually try to solve the mistery. If Slush would please confirm the amounts and blocks?
No, I cannot send this, because old system did not register relation user-block-reward, only user-reward. When block was found, reward was rised and shares deleted. So I cannot tell for those old blocks, who should be paid for which block. Sorry. New system is better, I store all information for later stats. All remaining payments (reward>=threshold) will be processed when next block become mature. There is much more in rewards on site, but few users trust me and their's send threshold is very high, so I don't need to pay off them yet.

Thanks for the service slush Like others i'm waiting patiently for the accounting system to catch up with itself. To help debug heres whats in my account

Hey, slash, why don't you put the number of the block for the list of payments you are posting. That way we can at least manually check if your code is working correctly.
I'm posting here immediatelly when send coins. You can go to block explorer and find it by self. By the way, people confirms they already received their rewards, so sending incorrect is not an issue. so there is actually no code at all for you to check, it's still done manually.
I'm already sending it with 'final' script, but firstly start it for 'dry run' and check, if ammounts are correctly calculated
|
|
|
Note, you can check more than one.
Did you ever found a block? Do you _really_ know miners don't have coins directly after they find a block? It looks: [ ] you are an idiot [ ] you don't know how mining works So you are optimizing your code before you got it to work correctly? That is definitely a wrong way to do it.
Feel free to implement own pool which will handle 5 ghash/s instantly. Btw mining core (where is this optimization inside) and payment system are two separate components. As I _already_ said, I did not expect we will find blocks faster than they mature. Original pudinpopp's miner solve one block for a weeks. Now I see I was wrong and already implemented better payment system which handle such load of transactions much better. And stop trolling here, join gene's trolling thread.

I'm not. How are these payments being processed? Without code or a breakdown of the logic involved, you have zero credibility.
Hey, you must be another's pool owner, right? :-D Again, specially for you. I changed logic, which means, that new payments will be cleared in way described above. There is still unconfirmed 200 BTC earned with old accounting system, so few people have to wait. (I have no data to send old payments "in order" with new clearing system) You are inside. You Must Wait. Sorry. I will not send payment specially for you. By the way, I even don't know which nick in pool is yours. Stop spamming here, enjoy it in your thread.

Despite the repeated empty promises and posts showing how money is being sent to very few accounts, I haven't seen any money from work which began on 17 Dec. If you haven't been paid, please let everyone know. That will prevent others from falling in the same trap, and will reveal the extent of this scam.

You are inside this payment, please check it! :-)
