Even though my rigs are 800 MH/s to 1.8 GH/s, my total farm is 23 GH/s. Is it still advised that I change them all to d=2, or does it make a difference if my entire farm is 23 GH/s?
Still seeing the problem, but haven't changed any difficulty settings yet. Also, running cgminer 3.1.1
It's the individual rigs that time out, regardless of how many total rigs you run. At 1-2 GH/s per rigs you should probably try d=2 and see how it does for you. |

Keep in mind hash power already used on a current block doesn't make the new block arrive any sooner. Each hash is randomly hit or miss. It feels right to change on block boundaries, but really it means the hashes up until that block were found were mining the less profitable coin.

What I'm doing is porting the merge mining modifications to the 0.8.2 bitcoin branch. That'll help with the orphans. And I'm also looking at migrating to paying transaction fees but not paying orphans. Most miners seem to prefer that approach that the way I've got it at the moment. Part of the move to the stats, where the full block reward is shown, is the move towards being able to pay transaction fees.
If it helps you might see if BTC guild would addnode you (or you addnode them if their server info is public), so you'll get new blocks from them as fast as possible. Of course they don't make all of the blocks but as the largest pool, they do make a bunch. |

This sentence doesn't make sense. You're reducing the miners' variance and taking it on yourself. In PPS with similar luck your fee would have been 300% and miners would still appreciate giving them variance-free payouts.
Oh I understand, and it's why I choose DGM. I'm just not sure the average miner will understand. I still see people on other pool's threads complain about DGM now and then for totally incorrect reasons (penalizes hoppers, penalizes people who don't mine 24 hours a day, etc etc). I'm sticking with it after all. For those who understand DGM and why I'm doing it this way, they'll appreciate it. And those that don't will just mine elsewhere.  |

I luckily paid with paypal and filed a claim to get a refund with the allowed time. They didn't answer a single email from my order date until i filed the claim then i got like 3 emails asking what was up and 1 asking to cancel the claim.... Thank God i did not! and i have never seen a company treat customers the way they do!
Why didn't you just ask BFL for a refund directly? |

Hope this isn't too offtopic, but couldn't a web service / exchange / pool allow the user to supply their own public/private key for their account (a separate wallet than they normally use, only used for this web service). Then they can always see what is on deposit by checking the wallet for that account, can withdraw/deposit any time by simply doing a transfer in their own wallet.
Since bitcoin is unique, I think, in the sense your "funds" are simply stored on the blockchain and thus multiple copies of the wallet could exist simultaneously (with user and web service).

The link to the "power 4" AC adapter on this thread and store web site don't work, FYI.

I've hit so many short blocks in a row the fee is up to about 10%. I can't see miners appreciating that, even if in the long run it will all even out. (My fee on a recent long block was 0%.) So I might retool a bit to move from c=3% to f=3%.
If I have c=0 though, what should I use for r since I can't divide by zero?

Edit: All pools/etc are closed. Was a fun hobby for a long time but got too expensive. Edit: I now provide some public p2pool nodes as well. I've tried to optimize them as well as I can, and I'm also actively trying to make improvements to my interface and I've submitted a few pull requests to various p2pool repos. Any suggestions/requests on what info you'd like to see on the interfaces is appreciated.Hello everyone. Been working on a pool, with TRC as the first coin available in it. www.royalminingco.comSet username to the address you want payments sent to. Password can be anything for now. Add _X as a suffix to the username to set your difficulty between 1 and 65536. Default difficulty is 2. For example, if you have a large GPU farm or an ASIC please go with something like: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://trc.royalminingco.com:3333/ -u YourHashHere_32 -p x Some features are: - Stratum Only
- Transaction fees paid to miners
- DGM payment method, 2% fee
- No account needed, web site usage optional
- User controlled difficulty
- All payments automatic
- Payouts in discovered block coinbase: the pool never holds your coins
I have a lot of things I'd like to add to the pool moving forward, all suggestions are welcome. The front end is custom from scratch, so I can add features or adjust things however users like. Shares are not reported as "accept" unless they are successfully queued for the score database. If you see a share accepted, it will count towards your score. I need to pretty things up more, but the basic information needed is there. DGM settings are f=0, c=.02, o=.98. This means the pool's fee is 2%. The pool absorbs some of the variance for you by setting c (variable fee) to 2% instead of f (fixed fee) to 2%. In shorter rounds the pool will make more than 2% and in longer rounds it will make less than 2% (down to almost nothing). Over a long period of time, the total will average to 2%. This way your income will very a bit less based on the length of a round. If this becomes too confusing or people are concerned the pool is not acting honestly in regards to the math, I could change it to a fixed fee. The variable fee is for the miner's benefit, not mine. Minimum payment is .0001. Anything below that will just be kept by the pool. "Slightly stale" shares are given full credit. DO NOT SET PAYMENT ADDRESS TO AN EXCHANGE ACCOUNT.
MOST EXCHANGES WILL NOT SEE YOUR DEPOSITS FROM OUR POOL.
DON'T TRY IT.Happy mining. |

I edited my post, but since a few more added in the meantime, here's my findings That's clearly a bug in the API. Difficulty report 148K. Packed difficulty from Getwork report convert to 37.3K. The "target" from getwork is also correct. Just the "Difficulty" as floating point representation is wrong. TODO... Devs! It's not a bug per se, that is what the API "getdifficulty" does. It provides the difficulty of the most recent block. That is not the same as the difficulty of the block currently being worked on. For anyone that relies on "current" difficulty you need to compute it off the the target yourself. It's really obvious in coins like TRC where the difficulty changes every block, esp if you use a payment system that relies on block difficulty/reward (like DGM). Places like coinchoose/dustcoin should be calculating difficulty for their charts from the target or packed bits, not from 'getdifficulty'. |

Probably, but then everybody talks about pools becoming too big while all it takes is a couple of minutes to move here...
By the way, if I were ASICMiner I would be mining solo, I really dont' understand why they are mining in a pool with so much hashing power.

I've heard they will go solo on their next round of upgrades. Who knows. Long live fireduck! |

Maybe they all hang out at BTC Guild with ASICMiner. |

Does Electrum server generally work with alt coins if you apply the bitcoind patch to <altcoin>d?

Adding a coin to an exchange isn't like flicking a switch. You need time to vet the code and make sure there's nothing malicious or anything that potentially could compromise security. Not worth the effort for an exchange to add unless there will be enough volume.
So I disagree there... every coin most certainly shouldn't be listed, only the most popular/promising.
Well of course, the exchange has to decide which it's worth their time to implement. But in the context of CNC already on BTC-E, I don't see it'd have any overhead for them to leave it in place vs delisting it. I guess if the volume went down close to zero for a long time, it'd be a way to just reduce web site clutter to cut it. |

The problem right now with CNC is the diff. If we manage to get that back down I bet you will see activity pick up again. But since that diff is way up there its going to fly under the radar for a while.
Same issue FRC has (had, in about a dozen more blocks). No reason an exchange shouldn't list every available coin. That's their job. Let the market decide which are worth buying and selling and at what prices. |

No...he did not...learn english.
It is formatted correctly.
everyone is either a project owner or supporter
an owner declares his demand for samples
a supporter declares his binding request to delegate his portion of samples to an owner I'm not a project owner, I'm a supporter of burnin's project. So I'm delegating my samples to burnin. The first reply did it backwards and everyone followed his example instead of following the instructions. I'm sure he'll figure it out and handle it all correctly. |

Didn't the instructions say to put supporter name first and then owner name second?
