I think biggie is aka slush, he just made a new user to hide it. He wants more small miners to his pool so he can get more fees. It doesn't matter to him that it makes no financial sense for the miners.

I see now that you do have long polling. Great!

The point is that on Slush's pool the newest shares have the highest value, so if you can hold it back for 1 minute you would increase the expected payout by several percent. If somebody else solves it first you don't really loose anything unless it's the pool you moved the other miners away from.

Not having to register is really nice for a "miner on a stick" Linux distribution I'm planning to make. The only thing I'm really missing is long polling.

Except it's not really decentralised when 50% of the capacity goes away if two IPs are DDOSed.

If 5% is in 10 days then you've just been lucky with the other blocks.

I updated my post almost immediately with some info. Do you need to know anything else? Parameters are -d 1 -w 128 -f 0 -r 2

Hm. No errors if I add -v. Same thing happens on a 5850 on the same system, although I did get one accepted before it exited when I tried.

I'm getting verification failed, check hardware on the first block it finds every time. Same setup worked with the old version and works with phoenix. Debian, OpenCL 2.1, 5970.

I wouldn't advice anybody to do this. The reason some cards can't change voltage is often that they use a different voltage controller that doesn't support it. Worst case you may end up bricking your card because the BIOS isn't compatible with it.

I really doubt that the trust in gold and something that can easily vanish in a puff of smoke will ever be the same.

Problem is that because everybody will use this miner from now on, the difficulty will rise and soon the payout will be the same as with the old miners. It does make the bitcoin network more secure, though.

That doesn't help for the problem with 100% CPU on multi GPU setups.

Or create a shortcut to phoenix.exe and edit it to add the parameters.

It's a lot better today than it was 50 years ago, so why do you think we have peaked?

If it doesn't load you'll have to try later.

There is no guarantee that you would never see him again. Either way it's all about feelings (as estevo tried to explain to you). The minor good feeling I could obtain by receiving a small amount of money would not outweight the bad feeling of letting a greedy person get away with it. If you don't get that bad feeling that's fair enough, but the reason that most people do is that they have the genes that have been the winners in the game of evolution.

3x0.5=1.5, so it did rise by 3x...

An alternative could be to have the client support multiple wallets, and select which ones should be encrypted. Then you could have a "savings account" with most of the funds and strong encryption. Another wallet with just a few btc could be unencryptet so you don't have to type a password every time you make a small transfer.

The number of stale shares has gotten a lot lower on Slush's pool lately, especially if you use a low polling value. It used to be 2-3%, but now I too get less than 1%.
