No.  My app uses "imbedded IE".  That is, whatever version of IE is on your PC it's using.

I have not been able to look at that yet.  It's on my to do list.

M

The reality is, because of stales, it comes out a little under 100% not including NMC.

M

Shares are not discarded.  Ever.  That's where the 100% PPS comes from.  The other 5% comes from NMC.

On unlucky rounds, shares are "shelved" (saved for later).  On lucky rounds, they are pulled off the shelf and credited.

I use the default SMTP object that comes with .net.  In typical Microsoft fashion, it isn't "standard", which means it doesn't work with all SMTP providers.

When I initially tested it, I was not able to get it to work with Verizon.  I was able to get it to work Gmail.  Gmail may have changed things since then.

If I ever come across a more standardized library for SMTP, I'll switch to it.  In the meantime I am not able to put the time into manually writing one.

I think Westhash fixed it.  It no longer says 128 is the min difficulty, it says 127 is.

M

EMail Nicehash/Westhash.  I agree it is a bit coincidental that after I posted my message about the odd payouts that suddenly Westhash doesn't work.

We've suggested before that Eligius up the minimum starting difficulty past 128, but Wiz doesn't seem to be interested in doing so.

M

Thanks for the idea.  This is in line with the prior suggestion.  I'll see what I can come up, but it may be a while.

M

Not in its current form.

M

I think some of the Eligius servers serve out slightly less than 128 difficulty.

Just skip the verification part and use it.

M

Nothing complicated.  Just pointed Nicehash to it...

Sometimes it doesn't like the slight less than 128 difficulty, but in most cases it works.

M

Please try this version, see if it addresses you issue.

Here's v5.2 that should fix the problem with low hashrate alerts no longer working.

I will check.

Thanks!

M

The field that triggers the alert is supposed to highlight.  Do you want more than that?

M

I've confirmed that hash rate alerts are broken.  I'm pretty sure they are broken across all miner types, and I'm pretty sure I know why.  Hopefully I can fix it soon. 

I'm still tight on time here, so I'm not able to devote much attention to this project.

My slow but steady address is at 93%.

My super fast but short address is at 100%.

I'm waiting for Wizkid or Luke to chime in here to explain what's going on.

I have a question about the payout queue.  I thought I understood it, but clearly I missed something along the way.

I have one address that I mine to with approximately 8 TH/s.  I usually get paid every few days.  Right now I'm #254 in the queue.

Recently I decided to rent a very large amount of hashpower from westhash, since prices are < the cost to mine.  I let it run full blast, as much as it can pour into Eligius, all pointed at a new address I never used before.  Minimum hash rate is about 500 TH/s, I think peaking at 750 TH/s every so often.  At that speed, my little order goes very fast, in a few hours or less.

Much to my surprise, later in the day I get paid from Eligius for the bulk of my earnings on that new address.  Yes, you read that right, in less than 12 hours I got paid for new work that I submitted on an account that had an outstanding balance of zero (remember, the address was brand new, never used before).  I did not get paid in 1 lump sum, it was 2 payments that brought to 100% shares paid. (In case you are curious, despite paying at 5% less than I'd make at 100% luck, with a 2% fee, I didn't quite get back all my investment, despite 100% of the shares being paid.)  

Meanwhile my 8 TH/s is still sitting in queue despite being a few days old.

A week or so later, I did it again when Westhash prices dipped a little bit lower still.  This time I kept the same payout address, which was at 0 with 100% shares paid (according to MyEligius).   Really high hash rate - 500 to 700 TH/s - for a few hours.  Within 12 hours I got paid for 100% of shares, in two payments.  And my 8 TH/s address, which last paid me about 2 days ago, is still sitting in queue.

So, if the payout queue is based on the age of entering the queue, why, two times in a row, did my super fast and super short work get paid well ahead of my slow but steady work?

EDIT: If you want to see it, check http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1JD6k7dcAmrzWCoNEdCjGKbcwbCdXHbtsJ.  

EDIT #2: The first time around, it wasn't 100% of shares in two payments because of horrible luck.  However, the first payment did happen extremely quickly.

That's a curious message.  I may be able to figure it out.  What version of IE do you have on this machine?  Is it fully patched?

M

I agree, it looks like something is broken.  Do you know what version it last worked in?
