A low of 4 today? Jesus why couldn't it have stayed for more than a few minutes?

Looking at how payouts are done, my guess is that they're enabling payments manually.
I am actually talking about the account balance. Its still at 0.00000000 BTC over here while about 4 blocks got solved since when I helped mining. EDIT: NVM I read on the previous page the database is not displaying it correctly. I am curious how much I will see in my account balance tommorow when this gets fixed. Thanks Hmm, they are all showing fine for me. Are you sure your miners are up and running? |

Damn, 8 hours since the last block. Hope this isn't the new norm at the new difficulty.
Edit: And the weird pattern of found blocks continues. 9 before noon EST, and zero so far after noon EST.

We're having a really long block or what?  I want stats back!  About 5 hours in right now. Not the longest block but certainly not a short one. Don't forget the difficulty has been raised so 5-6 hour blocks will be normal now. |

I am in an EST zone, so my times will be different from the rest of you, but has anyone else noticed a weird pattern at bitcoins.lc of solving blocks? For me, we solve a shit ton of blocks in the morning and then after noon we solve maybe one or two.
Today:
Before noon: 9 Blocks
After noon: TBD
Yesterday:
Before noon:5 Blocks
After noon: 3 Blocks
Monday:
Before noon:3 Blocks
After noon:2 Blocks
Sunday:
Before noon:6 Blocks
After noon:4 Blocks
Don't get me wrong, I am certainly not complaining. I have made way more at this awesome pool than at deepbit or than the various calculators tell me I should be making. Its just weird that we go through a period of finding a bunch of blocks to a period of 5-6 hours between them almost on a daily basis.

What on earth are you guys on about!? Mining is getting more rewarding in purchasing power, not less. Mining, if the proceeds are sold (dumped) drive down price, not up. The community is not growing because of miners, miners are increasing because the community is growing and pulling the price up with it. I run www.bitcoin.co.za and the first questions we get are "how can I buy bitcoins?" followed by "how can I help?" not "how can I make a killing mining?" There are not remotely enough miners at the moment, you could replace all the capacity with less than $10 million in hardware. That is totally doable if a large financial house figures out we intend to take their printing press from them. We need about a hundred fold more miners to be safe, remember we are our own army. The future of mining is almost all of the bitcoins being rewarded to a select few who chose to spend tens of thousands if not more on their hardware and who continually sell and re-invest in new hardware. Its kind of stupid that at 6.5 million bitcoins out of what 21 million total, its already going to be concentrated in the hands of a few. I will be done mining after 2 more difficulty increases most likely, unless the price of a bitcoin skyrockets. The problem with bitcoins is that to keep people mining, the price HAS to skyrocket, and for the price to skyrocket continually, there is no way businesses will come anywhere near it. If it reaches an equilibrium, then mining basically dies. |

After the next difficulty rise, bitcoins will need to be in the 30-40 dollar range to attract new miners. If it stays in the 20 dollar range, the idea of making a giant profit off of mining is pretty much gone. If you wanted to buy a new computer anyway and use mining to help pay off what you were already going to buy, that would still be a valid use for mining.

I can manually edit the field, and I did, but it still only sent me x.xx bitcoins. Have .046xxxxx bitcoins left. Not overly worried about getting them out this very instant, but it would be nice to know that at some point I can get everything I mined out.
Did you quit mining and shortly after attempt the payout? It sounds like you received a payout for the round you had not been paid for yet because it had not yet finished. You should be able to payout the 0.04 BTC anytime. The remainder less than a bit cent remains until you mine the pool again and add to it. Yes, but I want the remainder. I know I can get the .04 BTC, but I would also like the rest, even though it is a small amount. No use letting it go to waste. Seems like the only solution now is to mine .004 BTC in a round and then checkout with .05 BTC. While thats certainly doable, it would be nice if we could cash out everything without leaving some behind. |

I am going to be in your position at the end of the week. Go on vacation on Friday and I hope that stats are up by then so that I can at least monitor and make sure my rigs are up and running.

When will deepbit allow us to withdraw more than a hundreth of a bitcoin at a time? I have a bunch of change left on deepbit that I would like to get off, but its only letting me transfer to .0x bitcoins.

I gotta ask, why are you guys sticking with deepbit with the constant connection issues? I am a noob at this and I switched off the first day it started giving me problems, which was 4 days ago. Since then been 4 days without a single connection issue over at bitcoins.lc and have made about 1.5x the bitcoins per day as I was making over at deepbit. I stuck with deepbit for a while and it certainly has the best web layout, but who wants to constantly be dealing with connection issues and miners sitting idle doing nothing?

You sure you guys are not CPU mining with phoenix? No 100% usage here. Not even 5% usage.
Make sure to put DEVICE=1 as a flag.

Well, I'm not sure why I'm having this issue but I'm getting more rejected. I'm at 5.6% right now.
I was trying to ping bitcoins.lc and the request is timing out. That could be one of the issues. Is there any way I could test my latency to the server?
edit: gone up to 6.13% now.
Are you overclocked? And what are the temps on the cards? |

How do you see phoenix output? i'm using a phoenix GUI for mining.
I am using the command line phoenix. |

Thats normal, your miner is in the middle of a getwork when the LP comes in and sometimes you will find a share at or around the same time as the LP, causing you to submit it and it becomes stale. The lower your latency to the pool the less of these forms of stales you will get (and to a greater extent the better peered the bitcoind is behind the pool).
Alright, cool. Just want to make sure that I am not missing out on some easy fix that can add a few extra shares. Thanks. |

side note: I don't like how moderators just pinned a shitload of topics. It's completely useless, and it clutters up the forum.
Heres an idea, maybe the miners should be in the "Mining software (miners)" subforum? Nah, makes too much sense. |

I have noticed that almost every time new work is pushed I get at least 1 and sometimes 2 rejected shares. Over the last hour or so, I am getting two rejected shares every single time phoenix outputs "LP: New work pushed".
Also, that is literally the only time I get rejected shares.

Sadly I too had to switch away from deepbit. Too big of a pain constantly keeping an eye on the miners making sure that they haven't stalled because of connection issues requiring a manual restart. Switched over to bitcoins.lc and in the last 24 hours have mined nearly 2 bitcoins vs the 1 bitcoin per day I could mine on deepbit. Not regretting the switch at all now. Also, no fees either on bitcoins.lc. No where near as good of a website, but damn I can't argue with the results.
Which mining software stalls like this? Sounds like they need to be bug-fixed so they detect the "stalled" state and retry. A main thread spawns worker thread with a built in timeout setting, and if the worker thread hasn't done any work for more time than the timeout setting, kill it and restart it. phoenix |
