@CoinBuzz:

Thanks for the answer, I hadn't run X11 in debug before, and I never saw it with scrypt.  Guess I'll be turning that off.

It's not going idle, but with the  debug flag going, it's giving me:

[2014-05-12 16:34:45] DEBUG: hash > target (false positive)
Hash:   000000cb67446e5ce7e7b05fa59385a2f3f5fbbcbbc70dab5c5be84a5f6316b3

Try two: 

They seem to have eaten my post, so I'll try again...

I'm getting a bunch of "false positives" running a version of CPUMiner that does X11 (I've used it on DarkCoin before).

Any clues what that means?

Would it be possible to go to more of a shift based model, maybe hand out different coins to different people, and then mete out the coins rewarded based on the amount of work done?  Wouldn't a difficulty x of one coin take the same amount of work as a difficulty x of another?  Or am I completely mistaken about how it works?

Then, if someone returned say 1% of the overall shares no matter which coin they were mining, at the end of the shift they could be credited with 1% of each of the different coins that were found. 

Work could be spread out in a weighted way to send more hash power to more profitable coin, without blowing the difficulty.  Personally, I'd rather get half the blocks for a quarter of the hashing power and then send the other 3 quarters of the power somewhere else.  The last thing we want to do is crush the coin and send the diff through the roof, resulting in everyone getting a smaller piece of a slightly larger pie.


Also, is the ECC port down?  I can't connect anymore.
