Mr Con May I ask you If one miner make 200 billion best share 200,000,000,000 and didn't discover a block , That mean block diff not in 0 to 200 billion ?
Or someone new join and made a 50 billion bestshare can solve ? Or he must do over 200 billion to solve it.
200 or 50 Billion, it doesn't matter both are block solves at this difficulty. And the 200B will have no effect on the difficulty on the following block. The difficulty is adjusted every 2016 blocks and that is the target of all block solves for that period of 2016 blocks. If the 200Billion share didn't get rewarded then it must have been orphaned.

Guys... these are the current luck stats of a big pool. / 75.645% / 91.791% / 88.821% / 93.131% / 3D / 1W / 2W / 1M / 3M C'mon... luck goin up and down and always rounding near 99% ? Do you have an idea of why this is happening, really?
It's a thing called variance. Smaller pools, BTC Guild is hardly a "big pool" these days, have allot of variance in which it has spells of really good luck and solves allot of blocks quickly. Win, win. But when it has bad luck it is allot more noticeable. You need to average over longer period of time. Any way, everybody PLEASE post in the appropriate thread. BTC Guild has it's own thread and eleuthria will answer questions like this and has, even recently. Also us BTC Guild miners will answer you too. There is no need to keep creating new threads and filling up the forums with duplicate subjects. Thanks, Sam

46.9824 With 69 miners wow,wait no is 47.2755 With 75 miners what is wrong with these numbers???
No context, maybe?

As I read it it's the difficulty of the shares that the miners are submitting so makes perfect sense for bitcoin ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) . I haven't supplied hash to mrr so I'm not familiar with the stats they suppply to rig owners but imho it would make more sense to show that then the coin difficulty. I guess it does say "share difficulty". Just not accustomed to seeing the worker difficulty past a decimal point.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post but I thought some of you know of this... I have noticed on my rigs on MRR that when a couple of people rent my rigs the hashrate goes right up to high TH/s These are antminer s3+ miners that normally run 450 to 470 ghs. Has anyone seen this before or know how they are doing it so i can as well ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ? Looks like they're mining alt coins as that is not Bitcoin's difficulty.

Do you have a process, a political affiliation or look for miners feedback? How would you go about assessing which fork to support?
What fork? Care to enlighten us?

Speed TH/s 0.6519 Current diff 4.0000
This pools is setting 651.9Ghs to diff 4? I find that hard to believe. I think that's the problem from the nice/westhash side... it would appear that they are somehow keeping an authorized open connection with the pool, and vardiff is continuously lowering until it hits 4... then when the hash rate climbs, nice/westhash determines that the difficulty of 4 is too low for the hash rate and disconnects. I know for a fact that ckpool properly addresses difficulty. I've got 5 U2 sticks solo mining here and they get a difficulty of 7, so 651GH/s would definitely not see a diff of 4. It's an issue on the nice/westhash side. By the same token it wouldn't bother me if my Block Erupters got set to diff 128 or even higher. But then someone would have a problem with that too, I'm sure.

so as when i first started (single s5 miner) i used ghash which ones took almost 25 hours to find a single blocks and payed me for that perticular block 0.002 approxx .. then i swtiched to antpool which was roughly giving me 0.01 per day on avg and now i am on f2pool which is giving again 0.01 atleast daily i do think they are all using same payment methodh pplns though but amount generate on daily basis do vary still some how
i am not familiar with too much tech details into mining and bitcoin stuff all i know is if pool and what i am getting paid which is why i want to go with pool which pays me more everyday which i think is the goal for every newbie to mining and bitcoin ..
GHash has historically had connection problems which resulted in allot of orphans when compared with other well maintained pools so I doubt that is a fair comparison especially since they are a much smaller chuck of the network hashrate than they used to be. Also with the smaller pools you can't go by day to day which is what I tried to explain before. You may need to average out the month for smaller pools as a pool may have not find a block in a day or two so those days may not have a payout at all. But then they may have a streak of blocks and payout 2 or 3 times as much as the larger pool. So you need to take the average. Glomming onto the largest pool for the sake of low variance is rarely a good idea. Also f2pool is PPS pool so it doesn't matter how many blocks they find you still get paid the same for that difficulty period. PPS is actually very bad for pools and has bankrupted several. F2Pool makes it work so far because they are very large. But that will change. It always does.

something which i also want to know about pools ... if a pool finds more blocks per 24 hours does that mean more earnings for the user ? vs a pool which finds less blocks or does it even outs ? i am hard time understanding this
When a pool finds blocks quickly you have less time to submit shares so you submit fewer shares per round. When a pool finds blocks slowly you have more time to submit shares so you submit more shares per round. So within limits it can even out. If a pool is really large this means your variance is lower so you get paid the same day to day. Small pools will have lower payouts during bad luck periods but will have larger payouts on good luck runs, so it usually evens out over a longer period of time.

Hey Guys,
Recently got back into mining btc, this time with asic hardware. I have (3) S3's rockin away right now. Its been roughly one night so far and i'm mining with BTCGUILD.
Anyways, when i go to settings to set up my auto-withdrawals... the receive address i copied... btcguild tells me is not a valid bitcoin address -_-
Anyone ever encounter such a silly thing?
Yes you need to enter a valid address. Also post in BTC Guilds support thread. Or make use of the support link on the web site. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49417.msg588348#msg588348

When i try to enter my BTC Wallet address in the settings page I am getting the error message
"There wallet address you entered was not a valid Bitcoin address. Please try again."
I have tried using multiple addresses both with and without the prefix 'bitcoin:'
but i always get same error message
TIA for any advice
There is no prefix, just the address. Use copy and paste as you'll never be able to type it correctly. Also post in BTC Guilds support thread with support questions. No need to contribute to the clutter on these forums. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49417.msg588348#msg588348

Thanks, that post hadn't been posted to in 20 months, so you can see how I missed it (having only joined the forum last month). Well, what took you so long?

Edit: So do think this is a fix or a preliminary test? Also what is the driver instance name for the --usb options? Thanks a bunch, again.
This code should just become part of the next release. It's still all under the same device name for all bflsc driver devices so BAS. The code was never rewritten to account for variants detected after the fact and black/whitelist them (it would be a massive rewrite and manufacturers have all but made this venture worthless). -ck, Did this fix for the Monarch's make into the git tree yet? Thanks, Sam Yes it did, shortly after I put up the binary for you. Sounds good. I sent a small donation for the help and support. Thanks, Sam

Pool Luck* (24H / 3D / 1W / 2W / 1M / 3M / All Time): 62.888% / 76.267% / 88.769% / 90.841% / 95.706% / 91.032% / 96.847%
very lame.. especially with a 2% fee
That luck would be better with a 0% fee? Bad luck is bad luck regardless of fee's. you fucks think your so intelligent you're fucking stupid. Glad to have your expert opinion on the subject. Thanks, Sam

That luck would be better with a 0% fee? Bad luck is bad luck regardless of fee's. Depends on if the luck% takes the fee into consideration ... If it does, then the pool block luck is higher than that. If it doesn't, then the payout PPS% is lower than that. ... also depends on what orphans are counted as ... So luck could really be 64.888% or 60.888%. Hmm, it's still bad luck.
