No big deal, but comfort... It's useless to wait that much, even 10 confirmations (<2 hours !) is more than enough.
Well, then ask Satoshi why he defined 100 blocks for validation in Bitcoin protocol :-). My original idea was to implement pooled mining with the same rules as original Bitcoin network, which I'm still keeping. But I agree that it has some PR drawbacks. I'll think about paying blocks faster... |

I'm not against this initiative if it will need just to rename columns and URLs in my own API (which was - as Tycho mentioned - the first API, and there's no general issue with that). That means - I don't see any reason to change token management etc.
Also, we should define some standard on ask rate from clients. I'm caching API calls for 30 seconds, but still I see some stupid users fetching JSON data every second. That's not only annoying, that also needs much more transfers than mining itself of those users (especially when they're CPU miners).

Estimated reward the user will receive on next payout in BTC What if user (or few of his workers) are PPS? null value? Last miner activity in GMT UTC, not GMT! GMT has summer/winter time, which is always pain in applications. | btc_balance | Current available balance for the user in BTC | | btc_unconfirmed | Unconfirmed/unavailable balance for the user in BTC | | btc_paid | Total amount paid to the user in BTC |
Let's rename it to balance, balance_unconfirmed, balance_paid. Otherwise we'll rename those fields for NMC? :-) |

Once I have a chart open (mtgoxUSD) How do I open in another tab cryptoxUSD?
It's same as for mtgoxUSD. Just select "New intraday chart" from main menu... How do I add Volume bar ask/bid to the bottom of the window?
You can add chart analysis in Analysis->Studies window. |

Hello slush pool! I dove in for a swim yesterday for the first time, and I'm curious as to how long it takes to validate blocks and why invalid blocks exist in the first place.
Hello werdna94, it takes 100 another blocks to validate freshly mined block, it's part of Bitcoin protocol rules. There are few reasons why block can be invalid: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Invalid_block |

I'm sorry for those invalid blocks yesterday, it was fixed manually few hours later. Yes, it was because of blockexplorer.com.

Any update on the double geometric payout?
I'm still working on update, however I had many problems to solve because of that. I even had sources with DGM online (it was that fault update few days ago), but I had to revert it to original sources. Again, I'm working on it and it will be soon... |
|
|
|
|
Sorry for connection issues in previous hour, it was caused by restarts of application because of update.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, invalid blocks are fixed, thanks for your patience.
|
|
|
|
|
No, only the last block is really orphaned, others are marked as invalid by mistake. I'll fix it today on the evening.

@slush
software packing and editing is not my best skill ....
So you're probably interested in new option "--volume-precision" introduced in version 0.5 :-). Simply start feed as "sierrachartfeed.exe --volume-precision 4" and you'll have what you requested... |
|
|
|
|
I just released version 0.5. It now stores all Bitcoin markets by default (it's because default symbol option is wildchar "-s *") and improves connection stability by using TCP keepalive on bitcoinchart's socket.

thanks. the history playback window appears but then it is so fast that I can make any use of it - no matter which settings I use..
any idea how to slow down the replay?
I'm quite surprised that it doesn't work for you. I'll test it on my machine soon... I checked it right now and it works. Maybe it's not intuitive enough; firstly you must move your chart to the history a little (use left arrow or bottom scrollbar). Then press Ctrl+R, set some reasonable speed (I used "100" on 60min graph to see if it is moving somehow). After pressing "Play", it starts drawing chart from current position to the end... |

I cannot figure out where to enter my namecoin address to start mining some namecoins.
It's on your profile page, just check "Namecoin" checkbox, namecoin settings will appear then... |
|
|
|
I like your pool, but please do something with this:
I'm right now working on new payout method (double geometric), which definitely solve it. |

NMC difficulty is ~2.5x lower than BTC difficulty, so nmc payout should be 2.5x higher in the time period. But a lot of people isn't interested in NMC, so the real NMC payouts are around 4x higher than BTC. At current NMC price (0.01 BTC/NMC), merged mining on the pool is giving roughly 4% extra profit...
|

myself: not by an option, but it's pretty easy change in the code directly. Unfortunately Sierrachart cannot handle volume as float, so the only solution is to multiply market's volume by 10**n (currently n=2 for two decimal places) and then move decimal place "in your head".
Everything you need to change for full precision is replace "10**2" by "10**8" in the sierrachartfeed.py source code (it is currently on two places).

Are we still getting those extra coins from people who haven't got a namecoin address or is it just because of different fees and pps?
A lot of people isn't interested in NMC, so you still have some extra nmc income here... |

I also doubt that it was some kind of pool hack, because there are many accounts with balance in hundreds of bitcoins, which are still untouched.

...I noticed I had been robbed of a bitcoin while mining in slush's pool. Apparently someone had changed my bitcoin and namecoin address and also unchecked the box that notifies me when I have had a payout. So of course as soon as I noticed everything I immediately changed both addresses to the correct ones and then checked my emails because I receive emails almost anytime I alter my account there. Then it dawned on me, "Why didn't I receive emails when my addresses were changed just a few days earlier by the bandit?" So I tried to notify Slush about this and he responded but I don't really understand what his email is trying to tell me. Hopefully he can figure out what happened because I am stumped. I keep thinking about it and I can only think of 2 ways this could have happened.
1. The bastard whole stole my bitcoin also checked my email and deleted the two emails notifying me of the address changes a few days ago.
2. This is the work of a hacker who was able to prevent the emails from ever being sent.
Either way I hope slush can figure this out and I hope this hasn't happened to anyone else. I love mining in Slush's pool and hope to never experience this ever again.
Hi Jack1Rip1BurnIt, I remember our email conversation. Actually I don't know about any possibility how to avoid email confirmation on wallet change. There were some successful robberies before email confirmations were implemented (mtgox credentials leak), but as far as I remember, nothing happen since then. If you see any bug which allow attacker to change payout address without email confirmation, tell me and I'll fix it ASAP. From what I know and what is the most likely, your mailbox was compromised as well, so attacker was able to confirm the request by self. |
