What is your share's difficulty setting?
I tried setting it to 2 for 7970 cards (per their advice for miners with >500MH/s power), but I noticed that it negatively affected my performance, so now I am back to level 1 for all cards.

PS: One card had a spike of 33 (and counting) invalids over the last hour, so my  24-hour stats are now 46463 (35) cumulative for all cards.

I ran my 9~ GH/s farm at 8 diff. I'll try modifying it to 4 and see later then.  Undecided

Going full throttle. Sure the Web-site may occasionally report a worker as down, but they are actually up and counting towards your total. Only 2 invalids out of 46677 shares for the last 24 hours. Historically I had 13561 invalids out of 1907178 total shares (0.711%).

I have a set-up with 3 backup pools. The first 2 point to 50BTC, while the last one to OzCoin:
pool.50btc.com:3333
pool80.50btc.com
eu.ozco.in:3333

That way, if Stratum is down, I will attempt port 80 connect before abandoning the pool in favour of a reserve.

Hmm...19941 (3331 invalids) for me in the last 24 hours according to the site. Undecided

Anyone else tonight seem to lose some speed? And also have invalids increase?

+1. I've been seeing sporadic speed decreases since 12 hours ago, and it's deteriorated to the point where the speed shows as 0.  Undecided My invalids have went to the moon too.

I've had people asking me about the location of my 'rep thread'.  Grin

OK, then you certainly know a lot more about Malaysia than I do.  It is common for people to judge places before visiting based on heresay (internet research) and as I'm sure you know, that often provides a distorted picture.  I have spent time both in Penang and in Kuala Lumpur, and found them both to be very hospitable.

Since you are already in Penang, you might contact Robert at C-gold and arrange to meet with him.  He's been in Malaysia for many years himself and I'm sure there's a synergy between DGC and Bitcoin you could discuss.  PM me if you want contact details.

Regarding c-gold, I would think that if the Malaysian government intended to shut them down, they would have done so already as c-gold has been operating there for many years already.

Oh, and I'm glad to hear the ISA was abolished.  Now if only the US authorities were to overturn the Patriot Act, I might actually feel more free here than I did when I visited Malaysia!

Hey, the C-gold HQ in Penang, Malaysia is actually only a few miles from my residence in Malaysia.  Wink I've lived most of my life here so I guess I know the laws here well. Yeah, I agree with most of what you state above (steroids OTC, gun prohibition where the penalty is dead by hanging, petty corruption etc), and I'm proud to state that life here is indeed better then most of its neighbours. Singapore's pretty advanced technically and economically, but the life and food there sucks.  Wink

However, there's been a lot of e-gold-esque companies being shut down regularly. Most of them had connections to HYIP schemes/Nigerian scams by facilitating transactions for them, and whilst their money remittance service might be legit by Malaysian laws, they're still affected. There's been a ton of raids on those purported 'investment schemes' and illegal gambling (yes, gambling is illegal here - only a few heavily licensed casinos operate in the entire country) all over the country, where remittance methods like LR were extensively used too.

All and all, I still prefer Malaysia although it's not that free as compared to the States despite the limitations.  *shivers with thoughts of cold Boston weather*

PS: The ISA is currently abolished some time ago.

Yeah, I might be popping around their office after coming back from Singapore. Their office is in a local shopping mall from what I see on their site so it shouldn't be so hard to locate them...I'll PM you for the contact if I don't manage to find them.  Wink

Okay, this is news to me that c-gold is based in Malaysia.   Undecided I'm afraid that Malaysia isn't that free as you would think - the government has seized a couple of such companies in the past.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but have you been to Malaysia?  I have spent quite a bit of time in Malaysia and while it may not be a first world country, the only country in that region with a stronger rule of law is Singapore.  I'm not aware of any businesses that were operated in accordance with Malaysian law being seized.  Note that a number of American firms have operated factories over there for decades (e.g. Western Digital and Seagate) which wouldn't make sense if it offered a hostile business climate.

Certainly there is more petty corruption in Malaysia than in most Western countries, but again with the exception of Singapore, it is better than all of its neighbors. And while there are some laws on the books (like the Internal Security Act) which make the government seem like it may be a bit draconian, they are really no worse that the Patriot Act in the United States.  I can't think of too many things you can do in the United States which are prohibited in Malaysia (possibly private gun ownership), and there are definitely some things you can do there which are prohibited in the United States (e.g. you can buy steroids over the counter).  Their labor laws are a bit screwy as well, but I think the same is true over here as well, depending on which state you're in and whether or not the labor is unionized.

The risk factors for c-gold are significantly different from those of bitcoin, which makes them complementary in my mind.  If you want to run a DGC in a country that will offer you some protection from the US/G7, I can't think of many countries that offer a better haven.  Certainly not Costa Rica, and Panama is also in the pocket of the United States.  It might even be a decent place to open up a bitcoin exchange.

This post will be out in next 24hrs!

Out in next 24hrs? You mean your gonna run with the money in 24hrs never to be seen again?

Right, so you either fudged the figures or didn't wait for the numbers to settle.
The run time shown is 2 minutes so the numbers mean NOTHING.

You cannot get 1GH/s out of a any pair of Spartans I have seen anywhere.
500MH/s is possible, 1000 is SCAM.

I wrote the software in the screen grab and I know how it works.
... looks like it's time to go visit that other thread also ...

Thanks again for the clarification.  Smiley
