and why do you expect the pool to get "the next" block? it's not only you and the pool on the network, there's others creating blocks all the time and you might get nothing for a very long time.
not sure if i like the count-all-hashes-idea, it kinda erases the lottery-style of bitcoin.

i agree that it should be implemented.....when it's ready.
it's way to early now, we only got a few users running the first and single (at least public) pool and it hasnt even generated 1 block (to see if it works at all).
so give it some time, join the pool, keep miners connected and up to date to help testing. maybe we get some GPU-versions to work with it soon, that'll help "outsiders" a lot.

1) one for every CPU-core you want to use 2) you'll get status-messages from the server showing both, yours and the combined hashrates. just do the math yourself 3) when the pool generates a block, you'll still have to wait 120blocks for the coins to "mature" to get you share

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is safe running bitcoins with the same wallet on more computers simultaneously?

the option to generate more addresses to the keypool already exists # bitcoin.conf
# Pre-generate this many public/private key pairs, so wallet backups will be valid for # both prior transactions and several dozen future transactions. keypool=100
but as far as i understand, it's supposed to keep backups valid (for some time), not to sync multiple wallets. i have no idea how that would work in the long term.

i've never tried it myself and wouldn't recommend to, in no way it's "safe", i guess it will cause some trouble sooner or later. if you just want to use your wallet (spend/receive coins) on multiple machines, there's ways to make it portable (i guess, also not tried yet). if you want to generate on multiple machines, that's possible by using a single client/wallet and multiple miners ( GPU, CPU) running on the same, or multiple remote machines.

not greasemonkey, but Simple Mail, which is what causes this. deactivated it and everythings fine, after re-activating it, there's not even links anymore to click on, just envelope-images to look at. guess i should take a look for another mail-addon to check my gmail-accs. anyway, i'm glad it's just me.

Surely your bitcoin client is running multiple threads, to achieve 3800 khash/s, yes? yes of course, it's 3800 running unlimited (=on all cores) on the AMD X3 bitcoin client, thats a bit faster than your miner at default c=3x1020= 3060khash/s, but only about half of what yours does at 4way=3x2400= 7200khash/s. impressive! on the older X2 the math goes bitcoin client= 2000khash/s jgarzik c=2x860= 1720khash/s jgarzik 4way=2x1060= 2120khash/s not that much, but still noticable. and here's another one Intel(R) Atom N270 @1600MHz (singlecore pretending to be 2) WinXP 32 bitcoin-client= 420khash/s (330 "limited to 1 core") jgarzik's miner= threads=1 c= 220khash/s threads=2 c=2x164= 328khash/s 4way just slows it down to 196 on a single and 2x140 on 2threads.

useless and much harder to do than one might think i agree on the harder part, there'd be some problems to solve and hurdles to take, but i don't think it's useless. any bit of computing-power, be it from CPUs or GPUs, makes our network stronger. it'll help even those that aren't generating at all, by protecting their coins. people are willing todo lots of stuff, if you give them at least something in return. currently you practically don't get anything for adding your cpu/s to the cloud, you probably have to pay for it, so why do it anyway? most people won't, maybe they will if you give them just a few coins, or bitcents for what they do. of course bitcoin in general is not about generating at all, but it's a nice way to attract it to a lot more people.

i always liked the idea of distributed mining, with CPUs its actually the only chance you got to get some coins on a regular basis now and even using a GPU it already takes days to generate a block on your own, rising for sure.
call me in at least for beta-testing, there's always some cores around to share.

some more tests with v0.2
AMD X3 720 @2.8GHz winXPx64 threads=1 c=1020khash/s -> 4way=2400khash/s
default client-miner gets ~3800khash/s on this machine, so if your HashMeter is a bit less wildly inaccurate now, 4way runs almost twice as fast.
AMD X2 BE-2350 @2.36GHz win7x64 therads=1 c=860khash/s -> 4way=1060khash/s
default client-miner gets ~2000khash/s here, still a little improvement, but far from the one above.

is it just me? anytime there's more than one members email-address shown on a page, i see the same address for anyone having an address shown. sounds a bit strange, so here's an example: in this thread on page 1 i only see jgarzik's mail shown, even for myself, on page 2 though i only see my own mail shown, even for jgarzik.

--threads scales nicely with cores, unfortunately it drags GPU-miners down (a lot) when running on all cores, but i guess most GPU miners won't care about one CPU more or less anyway. --algo=4way pretends to work, burns CPU and stuff, but only shows 0.00khash/s all time and some PROOF...false msgs, so i think it doesn't. --url works just fine, all my (non-client) miners are connected to a single node tested on 64bit XP & 7
