I purchased 3 x 5850s at £100 each about a month ago, and I've already paid them off with my setup in a month at https://mineco.in

I added 3 x 5850s into pretty much your entire setup... it currently uses around 800W of power and generates 1.1GH/sec.
Yikes... thats slightly disconcerting... 5850s use less power than 5830s and 6970s. :/ According to my power monitor my entire Rig is using about 750-800W to produce 1.1GH/sec.

Interesting, perhaps this will lead to a clarification of the attack being used against bitcoinpool and a correction of the problem. Thank you for letting us know BurningToad.
While I was researching this further I noticed bitcoinpool was run (or at least started) from a server in the founder's house, running over a fiber connection. Would this allow the blockchain to be poisoned through a MITM attack more easily since it isn't in a multi-homed datacenter?
I don't know what different that would make. Probably none.

Ability to delete or edit/rename workers please  Editing the name should be possible, but deleting them is a bit of a grey area, as they are linked to blocks and shares by their id

Actually Wuked, it is a little different here due to SMPPS. There are no personal unconfirmed rewards, only for the pool.
Unconfirmed BTC is the BTC we are waiting on from generated blocks. The pool doesn't get the 50 BTC from a block until they are confirmed.
Unpaid work is your credit for submitting shares that hasn't been paid to you yet. Paid work is credit for shares that you have been paid for. When you are paid, your Current Balance is increased by the amount that is added to paid work. When you have a current balance, you can withdraw it at any time to your personal wallet.
Right now we have a positive confirmed BTC buffer, so we do payouts every time the total unpaid work for the pool is 10 BTC or more. At that point, each person has their Paid work increased by their unpaid work, then unpaid work goes to 0. Once again, this is because the pool has a surplus of BTC to pay right now.
Ah O.K - I do apologise. It's a bit different for SMPPS  Are you going to get screwed if you get an invalid block ?

So, most of you have noticed that the server has some load issues when doing stats / share calculations when blocks reach 120 confirmations. It depends on round length, but this would usually cause server slowdowns for about 10 minutes every 12 hours.
These calculations are not actually used for payouts at all anymore. They used to be, for the proportional system, but now they are just for stats purposes. This is how you can see your historical shares per round and things like that.
My question is, do people still care about personal shares per round with the SMPPS system? One solution it to remove these kinds of stats. SMPPS shares are counted as they come in, and that is how payments are decided. It isn't related to shares per round at all.
So, I could provide share stats on a per-day basis, as that is how SMPPS stats are aggregated (like the daily earnings chart.) This would not be a rolling 24 hours, as that requires a lot more storage similar to the current system, but a hard reset each UTC day. Though, I suppose I could change this to an hourly system to give better granularity.
Anyways... just kinda thinking aloud. I will try and improve this issue when I get the time.
Thanks.
I think all the data is important Also could you also break down the data? I hate to sound ignorant but after thinking about it I am not sure I even fully understand it. What is considered by "unconfirmed" coins? Unpaid Work? or Paid Work? Thanks! Unconfirmed Coins will be money you are owed that hasn't yet reached the 120 confirmations that the pools need to confirm their 50BTC block reward. When the reward equals 50BTC your reward will move from unconfirmed to confirmed.

You don't "like" other systems... that's ok. But with prop and realtime stats, you actually get ripped off by pool hoppers, so you'd be better off with PPS.
can u explain how the "ripoff" by the hoppers work? I think prop is the most fair system because u get what u mine, ok the variance is high in how much u get due to the no. of shares a block has is different, but I think pps is just promoting hoppers. Because the pool with the highest BTC/share has the best offer for the miner. correct me if I'm wrong i looked here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_pool_reward_FAQ and came to the conclusion. Proportional with real time stats is the most abusable system by hoppers.

Hey Guys,
I'm getting about 360-370Mh/sec on my 5850s.
Remove the plastic shrowd if it has one, and setup a desk fan or something else moving air over them.
Change the core speed to around 910 and the memory to 300 using ATI Clock tool in windows, or ATI tool in Linux.

Just a quick thank you to Xenland for running this thread and helping everyone out.

Thanks to Daveout for all his rails work, I'm using some of his stuff on https://mineco.inI will donate when I have some free BTC.

So what features are you guys looking for that are missing? I'm all ears...

Anyone else trying out CloudLinux ?

Anything chilled out.
I always bite my nails when coding too, so I try to chew chewing gum...

All this competition is good.
We are getting deepbit getting very close to 50% of the network, and when BTCmine was down recently I think deepbit crossed over the 51% mark.

You should try using "Screen" to run pushpool in the background.
Make sure you are using the latest pushpool version too, version 5.0 and 4.0 have bugs.

There are many "Dark" Pools around
For example, the user "Vladimer" on this forum owns 400GH/sec of power.
Alone this would make him in the top 10 pools, and he would get a goof share of any generated blocks.

The next version of GUI miner should contain mineco.in as a default option!

Yes of course, We are storing enough info to calculate it
