It is a result of pool hoppers coming in at the beginning of a round. The other half of your payout on shorter rounds is going to them.
Slush is currently working on a payout system that either eliminates this problem, or comes very close to it. He said himself he is hoping to have it in place in a few days (only 4 posts back).
The new method eliminates the possibility of pool hopping completely. There is no possible way to mine it strategically. See the thread on DGM: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0Oh, wtf. I switched to slush specifically because I thought the scoring algorithm made it unprofitable to pool hop. D'oh. |

So I've noticed that for substantially smaller rounds < 8 minutes or so, I always get paid less than during the longer rounds. I thought it was just variance and would even out, but this has been ongoing for weeks, and I pretty much have never seen a higher than normal payout on the smaller rounds to even things out. Like I'll get .08-.09 btc on normal rounds, but only .04-.05 on the short rounds. Why is that? And is there something I can do to fix it?
I have about 2 Ghash all operating on diablominer at -v 2 -w 128 -f 120 if that helps to solve the problem.
I feel like I'm losing a fair amount of income if all the small blocks end up paying me less. I should be rooting for the fastest blocks possible, but it seems like that's slightly suboptimal for me based on this? Any solutions? Anybody else experiencing this?

This is the nice, quiet 7970. Oh, nice.
Seriously, I have this one. It is quieter than even my Gigabyte 7970 with its custom cooler by a degree of 2, which in and of itself is supposed to be quieter than the reference ones.
{edit: looks like I was wrong. I was just judging from the box. rawr. Why would they re-use the same box art haha Oh Sapphire}

That argument doesn't hold any water with FPGA's, so why not just skip the middleman and just buy btc?
The argument does hold water with FPGA. But instead of selling them, you would need to have other profitable things to do with them. ...for example... |

~100BTC
I will not buy from any random person. Must have legitimate feedbacks. heatware etc.
and yet you only want to pay < the MSRP when they are sold out everywhere? You may want to reconsider your offer price. GL |

If you were going to go all in whole hog with FPGA's and basically have no "fallback" resale value anyway, why wouldn't you just buy the physical coins? The argument to mine rather than just speculate was always "well, if Bitcoin goes to $0, at least I can still sell my GPUs as GPUs". That argument doesn't hold any water with FPGA's, so why not just skip the middleman and just buy btc?
Thos eof us mining sure looked silly vs the people who just bought bitcoin at < $1 when the price shot up to $30, didn't we?

Is something wrong with the way btc is being awarded? I got 0 btc for the last two rounds even though slush's site says I have an average of 2Ghash/sec. Since the max capacity for what I have is 2Ghash, that means they must have been working?

What kind of settings are people using for 7970? I'm running my gpu 925MHz/366MHz for testing purposes.
Latest DiabloMiner "-v 1 -w 256" mining at ~550MH/s
Phoenix 1.7.5 "-k poclbm WORKSIZE=64 VECTORS3 AGGRESSION=14" mining at 552MH/s
I'm using the 8.95.5 driver set.
My 7970s at 1050 Mhz are doing 1244 together atm. |

Pool seems to be down any one know whats happening?
Message I'm getting back from my miners is that the pool is down for maintenance. |
|
|
|
lol, a nice "welcome to the pool" for my new 7970s. A 7.5 hour round During installation time? I missed 4 rounds haha. Ain't that the way it always is. |
|
|
|
|
lol, I did a CTRL + F on the front page for 680 and didn't come up with anything. Le sad. Fail on me. haha
|
|

So the GTX 680 is launching with 1536 CUDA cores, compared to its predecessor the GTX 580 with with 512.
Since NVidia was always so much worse than AMD because it used fewer, but stronger cores, will this make Nvidia actually viable for mining?

Yay for google bringing this to the front page. Yes, I'd totally pay for something like this. Would look great on my razer blackwidow ultimate.

I think you have me mistaken as a Gen M or something, which I'm not. I'm upset at the attitude to destroy an individual when the people doing the destruction have also stolen things from their work places. Perhaps not physical things, but still company resources.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
You missed the part where he actually did steal physical things. Yes, this was where the line was drawn for most people, including myself. Steal company's time < steal company's electricity <<< outright stealing physical hardware and reselling it. Yet you equate the three tonto. What? That doesn't make sense to anyone except you. |

I assume selling scams count as "online services"? If so, yes, I've gotten scammed for several hundred dollars worth of btc.  |

I'm running into this same problem too. Where do you type -rescan?
Think I figured it out. You're supposed to go to the command line? cd\program files (x86)\bitcoin\bitcoin-qt -rescan ? If so, hmm...I seem to have some bitcoins missing in cyberspace... |
