Is this open source?  If so were can I look at the code?

P.S. For some reason this post says red flag to me, but I'm paranoid so it's probably nothing.

I've been having the same problem, I hope it's because he implemented difficulty2 shares.


I had the same issue but I managed to fix it on my end by creating a backup miner which was pointed at the second server and had a higher -f setting(aka lower priority).

The reason I had to do this was because I run through TOR which causes you connection to lag slightly and for you to be put on Eleuthria botnet suspect list.

P.S. To Eleuthria, could you possibly fix that glitch?  I've previously proved I'm not a botnet in a PM.

I've found that the best way to explain BTC to someone is to get another person who knows more about it to do it for you.

I have been with MyBitcoin for at least six months and have had no trouble with them.

P.S. I know my reputation isn't much but I've actually been on the forum for a long time, I just don't post much.

The strait answer is NO!  Even if you mine on a pool it would not be worth it.  You would only get roughly 0.02 BTC per month which is equal to about $0.22.

I'm not familiar with these specific pools but I don't believe this will work(but if nothing else does don't let me stop you from trying it).

He may be on the right track though, in the Username: field your username may be off because each pool does it differently.  You should check on your pools' websites or in their threads to see what should put as the miner's username.

P.S. You don't need the bitcoin client if your miner is on a pool but if you want to confirm you can mine I could tell you how to set it up to run solo.

Here's some questions from me:

1)Have you set up an account with the smaller pools?(I know this sounds like I'm assuming your an idiot but every makes mistakes [There have been plenty of times when my computer won't turn on because the power switch was off])

2)Could you post the command line for the smaller pool?

3)Are you running any odd programs in the background such as TOR?

4)Could you list the settings and flags you are using?

5)When are you getting your graphics cards(or have you not ordered them yet) because it's a whole lot simpler just to test the real deal.

P.S. If I end up helping you I would much appreciate a few bitcents.(I will do all I can to help you whether or not you tip me.)

Upgraded still having ~10% stale shares.  I wonder what the problem is which eleuthria won't announce?  I can't believe I'm the only one with this many stales. 

Here's some more information for those who are trying to help.  I'm running poclbm through the latest guiminer, I have two miners for each core(the miners are pointed to different servers and I've adjusted the -f setting to -f 30 and -f 65), I also have these settings(-v -w 128), I'm running multiple machines on the pool but have been unable to determine if all the machines are affected.  I made no changes to the settings near the time of increased shares except for possible a change in where I was pointing the miners, I'm running a windows7 64-bit operating system, and I restart my miners every half hour, and my cards are HD Radeon 5970's.

Really, I thought eleuthria said when he implemented difficulty two shares that each share show up as two on the site and the site is still showing odd numbers of shares. 
Yes I've restarted my miners.  I use a combination of a .bat file and task scheduler to restart my miners every half hour. 
No I haven't updated guiminer recently but this version had been working just fine.

Hey eleuthria, when you first installed the "super-server" my stale share rate went from ~2.5% to ~1% , but during the last few days my stale share rate has consistently been ~10% .  Do you have any ideas what could have happened to cause this?  I was not at home when it first started so I don't believe it was caused by a change I made, but I am open to any suggestions because I don't want to leave your pool.

P.S. Are you still planning on implementing difficulty two shares? I was really looking forward to those before the DDOS happened.

P.P.S I'm running poclbm through guiminer on a windows7 system.

Thanks for every thing eleuthria!

Do you mean to many IPs at the same time, or to many IPs over a period of time?

What were the bugs?

I was wondering the same thing when I read the subject .

P.S. I know I'm only qualified as a newbie, but I've actually been on the forum for a couple of months.
[Oops] I hadn't realized but I just recently qualified for Jr. member.

Thanks for answering my questions.
Sorry if it sounded harsh but I'm paranoid.

P.S. Just in fun, you avoided question #1 and the post thought wasn't really answered.
P.S.S. I'm mainly asking questions to leave a very little margin of doubt for other people, so that if you are legitimate people will be much more likely to join.

Something tells me there is something going on here:
possibility #1 BTCprizes is a government employee.
possibility #2 There is a catch.
possibility #3 This guy had a really bad economic teacher who was paid by the government.*

I'm not saying businesses accepting bitcoins are bad, on the contrary I would love to see more businesses taking bitcoins as payment. I'm just saying this scheme wont help in anyway.

P.S. I'd love to see if he could prove there was actually more than one person behind this.

I'm tired of every tenth thread I see being someone who wants something for nothing.  If you want something, EARN it!  For those kind yet a little softhearted people who insist on giving away bitcoins, I have been on this forum for months and have yet to get a single tip, donation, or payment from the forum.

Just kidding I don't beg for tips, but if you feel like it I won't say no.

Ditto.
I'm a previously satisfied customer, does that qualify me for any specials?

Has anyone noticed that guiminer slows down and only ~80% GPU power after running ~30min?  I'm also getting about 2.5% stale shares and the error "warning, job finished, miner idle" a lot, is there any way to fix this?

I'm running two miners per core one pointed at btcguild.com with the flags -v -w 128, the other pointed at mine1.btcguild.com with the flags -v -w 128 -f 37.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Eleuthria!

P.S. I'm running through Tor.

Could you explain how to run -rescan?

I don't know if this is wrong
but the way I set up mine was by setting the miner(the computer not the application) to a static ip address
and putting the following code in the bitcoin.conf file:
rpcallowip=miner's static ip*

Just for clarification I mean the ip(192.168.1.20)ex NOT the words.
