They've been in stock for a while now because the mining hardware rush is over. They couldn't keep those things in the warehouses for a couple weeks.

Thanks for the video update on Plato! He looks the same as when I took BTC for gas for him, hehe.

If any Bitcoin Monkeys are reading this thread - https://BitcoinMonkey.com has applied the security patches and is good to go. |

I think it's because somebadger is patching against 0.3.24 and JoelKatz started with 0.3.23. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I love the design of this site and I have used it many times, however I keep going back to bitcoincharts and SierraCharts because I miss my candlesticks.

Good point, I didn't even think about it that way.

I don't think there are enough <div> tags in the new layout  |

The worker MH/s are OK and on par with how other pools calculate, it was when I tried to add all the worker speeds together I ran out of programming talent, hehe. I think if I calculated the average over 30 minutes the speed would be lower actually.
Funny, one of my friends in the pool was moving to a new house also. And during that period my computer at home crashed while I was at work and I don't have remote power cycle capabilities on it, dangit. Pool speed starting to look better. Still trying to get my friend's two 6870's stable.

JoelKatz, I love the work you have done on bitcoind and I will be using your patches soon. I would like to see your fork (maintained by the other guy on Github) become a bit more stable on the larger pools and I will start running it.

You are grossly underestimating the amount of time it takes to get pushpool and mining farm(xenland)/simplecoin to work. You don't just slap it up and hope to get rich. I have had to recode hundreds of lines of code and diagnose for hundreds of hours to get to where we are today. We also don't use a cheap webhost, the bill stings right now to be honest. I have a feeling you haven't tried to get a public pool running and you are guessing with your comments.
By "You", you mean Vladimir? I joined the Triplemining when they had 18 miners  an stared my own so called "mini pool". Yes, the same one that forum administrator attacked because some morons got carried away with posting invitations.  At the moment, we are cruising along at ~40 Ghs and have about 145 active miners. I think the pool owners have done wonderful job keeping everything up and running. Yes, we had some bad luck with a massive block an it took us forever and some miners deserted the pool (dropped from 70Ghs). Most important for slow miner like me is this: my final payouts are slightly better than in other pools I tested, even when I have no income from my minipool members. So, if any of you likes to join us on same terms as everybody else, you are more than welcome. Maybe you are better off joining us than staring another pool and going trough all the bull shit and shit storms new pools have to. By "You" I meant Sukrim, who believes it's easy to just slap up a new public pool in a couple minutes. |

The hashrate you see on your pool website is purely and estimate and can be a wild shot in the dark compared to what your mining program shows. Our pool takes an average from the last 5 minutes, but it's always lower than what I show in my mining program. There is honestly no way to make it accurate or match what your mining program shows. It's just looks cool on the webpage.

Ok, reality check:
A pool with 30 GH/s might currently solve ~5 blocks per difficulty. If the pool keeps the transaction fees (some far bigger pools like mineco.in don't do that!) this results in ~0.5 BTC or ~1 BTC/month.
Can you really host a server and provide a good service for ~15 USD/month?! Also you loose everytime a quick block is found.
Pooled mining is about reducing variance at the cost of moving trust from yourself (= solo mining, with the highest possible variance) to pool operators (who hopefully pay out proper amounts etc.). Sorry, but someone slapping an open-source pool script on a cheap webhost is NOT what I consider trustworthy. Usually my first question(s) that I asked in nearly any "NEW POOL COMING UP; JOIN ALL IN!!!" thread couldn't even be answered by these "operators" (Usually I ask how/if transaction fees get distributed, if the pool operator keeps a fee and what's the payout model).
You help the mining community grow stronger by helping develop p2p-pool or actively testing and reporting bugs in miners and bitcoind. Not by opening the next xenland/simplecoin clone and hoping to get rich. Just read through the btcguild thread and you know how much work it means to grow from 50 to 500 to 5000 MH/s

I wish he would come back to these boards  Didn't he just post tits yesterday in the tattoo thread? Or is there more than one Plato? He didn't post them, he was just commenting on how nice they were  |

He's still here. He wants to start living in Portland now.

Yeah, let's hook up an android phone to the server and use some clever programming with the SDK to send out SMS notifications! lol
Pool Update
Blkmond was not doing what it was supposed to do. I don't know if you monkeys noticed or not, but there probably weren't long polling messages in your logs. Not a surprise that it wasn't working considering comments from other pool operators. I have replaced blkmond with a custom python script written by another member here on the boards. It's working great for me, however it looks like you must restart your miners to get a fresh connection ready for LP pushes. If you are the type of person who never reboots or has a dedicated rig, do us a favor and restart your miners real quick. Thanks monkeys!

After two weeks of working flawlessly, blkmond decided it didn't want to send SIGUSR1 anymore. It was monitoring fine, but not sending the signal. I just implemented your script on our pool, and it works like magic! Thanks.

The biggest flaw I see is for pool operators. What does a newbie want to do when he first finds out about bitcoin? They want to get bitcoins of course! Either buy or mine, doesn't matter. If they have a question or comment about a pool or exchange, they cannot post in the main thread. This has forced some pool operators to create two threads, one in the main forum and one in newbies. As if the barriers of entry into bitcoin weren't already complex enough??

Excellent nice work man. Yea as for sms I would deffinetly charge a fee or require a certain donation ammount much like btc guild. The costs of the sms might not be much but they deffinetly add up over time. Email notification might be something easier to implement as its just a sendmail command which could also charge a fee or donation for, and as many people have smart phones now a days it should suffice as well. But anyhow no need to worry about that. Great job on the stats and everything man. I think it deffinetly bring more transparency to the pool which is what miners like/want. At least I do.
There is a cool trick for SMS notifications where you just send an e-mail to the wireless provider's special SMS "gateway" or whatever you want to call it. You would just have to fill out your number and your wireless provider so I could get the To: address correct. No real cost to us, but a feature we think people would pay a small donation for. That keeps us at a 0% base fee. |
