Hey Guys! Currently mining LTC on your site.. IS there a way I can check payouts? Also what is the minimum.. I'd love to get a litecoin soon. Hashed over 2500 Shares already.  You can check payouts in the "Payout" tab here. Just search for your LTC address and you'll find your payout! If not, no worries - once the pool makes a share, you WILL earn LTC! Just to clear any confusions, your miner shares are different from the "usual" shares - they are diff 1 shares, aka really EASY shares. The pool is a P2pool node, meaning that it submits a pool share (like a regular share, but somewhat harder). Once the pool submits the share, if you helped the pool get that share, you will get paid! So just wait, keep mining, and you will get paid.  Happy mining! Where to check BTC payouts? I just threw 5.6 Gh/s toward you. |

Well the bios flash did not help....... at all. The Bios flash was successful itself but hashing wise no improvement..... I will continue to try other bios similar to the PowerColor One
Update: just look at the bios of the PowerColor that is running at 735 KH/s and I saw the bios is not on Techpowerup so I copy the bios and flash it on to the card in question.
Update 2: Switch Powercolor cards and the card with issues is now hashing 650 KH/s....... -_- I think I need more ram on the computer only have 2 GB atm.
Update 3: My hunch was right. Got it to mine over 600 KH/s (647 KH/s) Just needed to add 2 GB ram with a total of 4 GB on 32 bit OS.
I wouldn't have guessed RAM was the issue. I get the same hashing out of a vcard running in my AMD Sempron machine with 1 Gb of RAM as I do on my server with 2 quad core processers and 16 Gb of RAM. |

Now all the computers are litecoin mining exempt one which is dual mining with litecoin and bitcoin at the same time with one cgminer software Another issue which has arises is one 7970 is only mining at 557 KH/s every other card is hashing higher, I am currently setting up a bios flash to get the PowerColor to the GHz edition to see what happen. Wish me luck. Let me know how this turns out. I have the GHz edition and can't get any faster than that. |

Question: Suggested difficulty option box.
What is the point in this box? It optional but then if its optional dose it really matter? I'm running just 4 Block Erupters on Slush's Pool should I change my setting and if so to what?
For those with large amount of hash power, setting a higher difficulty will reduce the network bandwidth consumed by submitted shares. You don't have enough hashpower for it to matter. I wouldn't worry about it. So just curious at what point would you need to set a higher difficulty? How many Mhash/s are we talkin'? I know what the website suggests according to Mhash/s but is this realistic? What have others experienced? |

In fact, you are punished for disconnection. You're punished exactly the same way you'd been in PPS in the long run, provided that you disconnect asynchronously, i.e. randomly.
At Slush's, you can either lose, when you disconnect near the round end, or you can gain, when you disconnect at some other time. In the latter case, your payout for the round won't be decreased due to the disconnection, although you would deserve some decrease. And as the time constant c is hopefully still 300 seconds and an average round is several times longer, it's greater chance for you to gain a bit than to lose substantial part of the reward.
Anyway, in the long run that should even out, as is the popular phrase in this thread for some time already... :-)
(...) but I have a hard time feeling I'm being punished for my downtime when ... well ... I'm down. In the long run, you're "punished" just to the extent you're down. When you won't come to your work, you won't be paid. Or would you like something like paid holidays? I swear this topic comes up every now and then because... well like you said, it sucks to be punished (e.g. kicked when you're down). Not me said, 5120-01-518-6126 said. Me rather opposed. I want to elaborate a bit and you guys can correct me if I'm wrong. The key to all this is really variance. The way scoring is done on Slush's pool is subject to variance and it's much more evident on slower miners and less so (but still present) on faster/more powerful ones. So what does variance have to do with being punished???... a lot.
Take for example if you're disconnected in the beginning of one of those crazy 7 hour rounds and 1 hour later you manage to fix your router, USB hub, whatever... At the end of that round you're actually not penalized that hard because what's 1 hour worth of shares compared to 6 hours of shares (and plus your score is isn't hit badly because you've been continuously mining for the last 6 hours of the round).
(emphasis me) You're not penalized at all. Six hour old shares have zero value compared to the new ones, at least practically. (But I believe that not only practically in this particular case: After at least three renormalizations, their score value must be at least 36 orders of magnitude less than the score of the fresh ones; that number converts to a very little fraction of a Satoshi, so really zero.) :-) Thus, in this case, you haven't been working for an hour, and you're paid the same as if you had been. Now take the counter example. You disconnect for 1 hour (same amount of time as before) but instead 4 rounds go by (a 5 min, 30 min, 15 min, and 10 min). You just missed out on 4 different payouts. Remember, on Slush you're paid based on the rate you contribute, so you usually get the same pay for large rounds as you do for short ones (again with some variance).
Contrast the two examples and what you get is HUGE variance in punishment. You can get punished a little bit or a lot.
Or you can gain. I.e., be paid for no work. While it's true that it averages out in the long run, the "long run" is a really really long time. For someone who isn't down that often... say only once a month at most... you catch one bad break and you'll need at least 2, 3, or 4 lucky breaks to "even out".
There's equal chance that you catch 2, 3, or 4 lucky breaks first an then the unlucky one. I figure that most people don't catch as many lucky breaks as they do bad lucks as they haven't really been mining all that long (I speak from experience as both of the above scenarios have happened to me, plus I'm a low hash rate miner and I haven't mined that long).
This is just psychology. You can try to find the term for this natural human feeling on Wikipedia e.g. You really can't compare this to something like PPS because they're two different scoring mechanism. It's like comparing apples and oranges. PPS just doesn't punish you the way Slush's scoring does.
Apples and oranges, blah, blah. Well, it's the variance, as you have said, that makes the "punishment" variable, and thus sometimes more noticeable. But you're not punished any more at Slush's than you are in PPS for your downtime. There's just different distribution in time. Does anyone even really give a s**t about this topic anymore... |

I'd also like to hear if Namecoin will be coming back. I'm sitting on 97.5 with Slush.

18994 for me was about 6 times higher than normal...

How about block 18995? Anyone have issues with payout? My statistics say "none" shares submitted so no reward as well, which is difficult to believe since I run 24/7 with my ASICS. Hopefully Slush is already on top of it.

I agree, it shouldn't be needed but with it I'm consistently 4 Kh/s higher.

Thanks for the info. The Powercolor V3 is the difference. I'm just running the MSI R7970 Lightning GHz Edition with these settings. --worksize 256 --intensity 13 --shaders 2048 --worksize 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1800 --auto-fan -g 1.

I'm interested in knowing what your settings are. I'm only averaging about 470 with my 7970 on cgminer 3.2.1.
