Any progress with your MtGox transaction? The two weeks should be over by now, assuming of course that MtGox honours their statement.

I wish BFL would stop shipping Jalapeno rigs until every other type of rig is shipped up to 08/22/2012.

This, is why I'm not even putting in an order. Quite a quandary they have there, in order to keep from completely upsetting customers such as yourself (even more than they have already that is!).

I think they're probably keeping a balance between getting too far ahead with Jalapenos and getting their other devices ready.

When the poolserver has been shut down, the pool will generate additional "pseudo blocks" on current difficulty until your credit reaches less than 0.00000001 BTC.
So you will receive some additional payouts, just like you would have stopped mining for a while.

Disappointing there's been no further word on the final payout, now that the site seems to have closed - hopefully it's not a case of taking the money and running...

I've won an item, but there seem to be no instructions on how to pay for it. I want to use escrow - how?

I just get "Unable to connect" for https://ozco.in

It's been like that for over 24hrs... if it's a DNS thing I guess I just wait. In the meantime, it's no prob to mine elsewhere...

Thus, I am thinking about changing the payout rules for the queue, so newer shares have higher priority over older shares. That would be in favor of active miners.

Everyone mining at this pool is getting very decent payout and has the freedom to decide how much he wants to contribute to the pool, instead of paying a fixed fee. Even though the rewards are not instant currently, the value still remains the same. If you leave as soon as queued PPS is active you just delay the payment even more.

I like the "active miners first" payout system, though I think it should be proportional to hash rate as you wouldn't want to give the bulk of payouts to a server-farm miner that has left the pool bar a token few hashes.

I'll look forward to some better calculations on namecoin payouts.

Nice to see a new mining option (LiteCoin) - I hadn't even heard of it yet!

My "Current Round Rewards" seems to be stuck at zero even though I've been participating in the current round - any idea why that might be? Thanks

12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why does auto-mining in Coinotron is more profitable than mining only BTC on: September 27, 2011, 06:16:35 PM
A PPS variety could easily work. You would just have to delay payment until a block is found, and in some cases partially delay it longer (when luck is down and thus the pool didn't earn enough to pay the full amount). Similar to Eligius really, though I think you could do slightly better by giving active miners priority for payment when payment was previously delayed.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why does auto-mining in Coinotron is more profitable than mining only BTC on: September 26, 2011, 11:22:20 PM
As I understand it, Coinotron's BTC mining uses a proportional payout method, so is vulnerable to pool hoppers, especially since the "Profit/BTC" figure used by the auto miner isn't adjusted to match the expected earnings under a proportional system (ie much higher while the shares are low, and terrible when the shares are really high).

This means a user who blindly used the "auto" miner would essentially have some of their profits taken by the pool hoppers, on average. Make sense? It would work much better with a PPS* or even PPLNS system that has the same expected payment per share no matter when it's submitted.

All that said, using Coinotron is fun! You don't even need to install the client applications for i0coin etc to mine for them - you can just get a deposit address from an exchange to get the payment sent to (just be VERY careful to prevent 2 payments to be sent to an address that is only set up to accept 1).

The minimum of 0.5BTC before you can get a BTC payout is way too high though. Most pools have a minimum of 0.01BTC.

Does that mean pool hoppers are welcome?

I notice the Estimated Payout graph totally changed over the last 24ish hours; previously it showed a slowly dropping expected value when my miners were idle (which I think made sense with the payout calculation method), but now it's like it's averaged over time and doesn't make as much sense to me. Are you able to explain how it works now? Thanks!
Oops! Just realised I'd gone from looking at my User Estimated Payout to the pool Estimated Payout chart. All is good :-)

Would you mind explaining what this means on the pool website:
Rnd. Share Val.: 0.00025292

Great promotions in this pool!

Pretty sure you mean buffer. But it might have the same effect as a puffer for the asthmatics out there...

Anyhoo, just wanted to mention that I would donate 1% of my earnings to the pool if there was an automatic donation option. I have done that with every other pool I've mined, so it's only fair to mention it. I'd rather not have to manually choose donation amounts, like you've currently got the site set up for - perhaps you could allow both options.

Would be great if it supported international shopping. Even if a retailer is willing to sell internationally, international shipping rates are often so high it's not worth buying anything (and it can be VERY tough to find the shipping rates for an item).

Given the international nature of Bitcoins (it's cheaper to buy BTC from many different currencies than it is convert country specific currencies), it could be something really powerful.
