Why validity of more recent block are higher then late blocks?
Block 164217 (441) has validity 100/120
and
Block 164243 (443) has 112/120

BTW for block 164217 there are a chain up to 164354 (more then 120 blocks)
seems blocks 164217 (441) and 164223 (442) are stuck with 100/120 and 94/120 confirmations at the time of this post and still counted as unconfirmed BTC

longest block we had in a while, lets get it found and move on

wow yochdog found 2 blocks in a row #164048(433) and 25 minutes later #164050(434) wat are the chances
I'm going to pretend this wasn't a rhetorical question. Given a block, the chance that it will be found by the same miner as the previous block is the sum of squares of each miner's hashrate, divided by the square of the pool's total hashrate. Extrapolating from the data available about top miners I estimate the former to be about 5700 (Gh/s)^2, so the probability is 5700 / 500^2 ~ 2.3%. If the pool finds on average 7 blocks per day, then the chance there will be an occurrence of this event (two blocks in a row by the same miner) in a day is very roughly 7 times that, which is 16%.


thank you sir

I'm bumping again.

PLEASE PUT YOUR DONATION AT 3% FOR ONE FREAKING WEEK!

C'mon guys it would be a nice thank you to Inaba for maintaining a pretty sweet pool and help keep him motivated when things are a pain in the azz.

Not that he's not doing a great job already, but let's do this!

Again, I don't know Inaba at all and have no relationship with the guy outside of these boards and mining his pool the past month or so.

I just believe there are too many "takers" sometimes in bitcoin and we should support those that contribute positively.

done

done

although at my speed I can't say its much help

Is there a way to withdrawal just the confirmed BTC

Under the "Pay Me" menu on the right of the "My Account" page, click "BTC" under "My BTC as".
thanks

Yeah, eu is directed at US3 at the moment, until I can find a reasonably priced host in the EU.  Everyone wants so much for a basic server, which is all I'd need for the getwork server, it's pretty crazy.


Can you PM me with the specs (CPU,RAM,Disk, B/W) you need, and I'll PM you with a quote and service details. BTC payment accepted.
figured I would BUMP your post since it was buried on the bottom of the last page

I just recently started mining a bit at your pool, and I do have one question..

I understand the double geometric scoring system, and I love the idea of it...

I am curious, though, why my prop-diff is quite often negative.  I'm not starting and stopping the rig, so I'm hashing continuously.  Shouldn't I be at 0 or higher?  What would cause me to get paid less than my share (proportional) if I'm not 'hopping' or taking breaks in mining?

Enigma
If you've started recently what you're seeing is probably your score building up. Your score starts at 0 and as you continue mining it increases until it reaches an equilibrium (which changes if the pool's total hashrate changes). So at first you'll receive less than proportional, in equilibrium it will be roughly the same, and if you quit at any time your score will gradually decrease to 0 and you will keep receiving rewards for some time.

I have a feeling that he's referring to the wildly varying payout compared to the proportional calculation that a number of us have been experiencing over these past 60 or so blocks.  The big up-swings in pool hash rate have caused some of us consistent miners to receive significantly smaller payouts when compared to proportional calculations for those blocks where the hash rate is unusually high.  Once the hash rate settles back down, the payout very slowly recovers.

I, for example, am still down compared to proportional for about the past 60 blocks.  I have a highly consistent hash rate and near 100% up- time, but the big swings in pool hash rate have not been kind to my payout.

That seems to be exactly what I'm talking about - although I can't be sure since I don't know the exact calculation/formula. Some blocks I'm ahead of the game, some behind - it's very inconsistent.  Overall, I'm up compared to proportional - I'm just trying to understand why I often times end up in the red for a block or two.  This definitely isn't me complaining - EMC seems like a great pool - I just want to be able to understand where the numbers come from.

Enigma
I guess the after payments would make that clear.
If you stop mining, then you will still receive some payments for a number of blocks after that.
Since you haven't already been paid for all your work (there is still more to come) then you should expect to be under by some amount.


Would also like to add how the effect the invalid blocks are calculated into this equation also. Seems this has to be a major factor when they occur more frequently.

could someone better explain the "Timestamp" and "Received Time"
https://blockchain.info/block-height/162189

and also if anybody is familiar with the pool that has generated all these blocks, 150 or so

not sure exactly, when blackhat mentioned having trouble I just glanced at the 2hrs of reported hashes that were still visible and saw there was 2 instances were it had reconnected. It was not long at all though or I would heard it taking a break on the job. Would have never of noticed if not for it being mentioned. Been running fine for me.

looks like I have had 2 disconnects in the past couple of hours, not sure tho man, I hadn't noticed till I looked just now

nCame across it today and felt it possibly related to wat was being mention above.
257  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [400 GH/s] EMC: 0 Fee/DGM/Merged Mining/PayPal Payout/SMS/Yubikey/More on: January 13, 2012, 01:27:49 AM
I guess the way to look at it is that we should not see another anytime soon.
The bad thing with such "bad luck" events is that past results don't affect future ones.
With the huge volume of blocks your pool finds can you give a probabilty of invalid blocks occuring in close succession based on your past results?

With a 4% fee it would be in ABC's interest to atleast offer the same features that can be found at a 0% fee pool.

Features such as email and sms notifications of miner failure, payout, account changes, block being solved. Block stats can be found on nearly all mining pools.

Never was part of mining an invalid block before so having been a part of 2 in a days time came as a shock. I guess the way to look at it is that we should not see another anytime soon.

Atleast we are having some good luck now it seems with 3 blocks found in less than 4hrs.
