So you find it absolutely okay that to get this information you have to go to statistics and scroll down?

Although I agree that website need some improvements, checking miners status by count of submitted shares on profile page is really trivial.

like lack of not averaged workers speed

It is in HTML comments on profile page (giggling). It is a bit inaccurate, so I hide it for common users, because of never ending questions "why I see hashrate XXX when my miners says YYY".

Quote
withdrawals by something like "1.000001222" btc

One never meet all requirements. There were times when pool paid rounded balance to two decimal places (the rest left on the profile for next payout). People were complaining that I'm scamming them for xxx satoshis :-/.

no configuration examples

This is miner dependent, every miner has its own howto. You need just pool URL (mentioned in bold on homepage), worker name and password.

no NMC mining with no namecoin wallet

This is feature, not a bug. I don't want to store hundred thousands of coins on the pool because I don't have a wallet to paid them out. Pool != bank. I'm still in loss thanks to Linode hack back in March.


Thanks for answers! Everything makes sense.
About config file: I remember that setting up miner for btcguild was MUCH easier because of that small page: https://www.btcguild.com/getting_started.php I even have to ask some questions on forum (not sure what questions, URL of the pool maybe).

About payouts: I set payouts to be equal 1.00 (equal to one BTC) and expected that payouts would be 1 BTC to not create mess in history/wallet.

Moving unpaid balance or at least the score to the site's header would not be a big deal, right?

If you have a seperate worker for each rig you would know when one of them was out of wack because it would show no shares on the current round or an extremely low score if you caught it durring the same round it stopped.


So you find it absolutely okay that to get this information you have to go to statistics and scroll down?

It's the worst thing in slush's pool. Also there are many other inconveniences, like lack of not averaged workers speed, withdrawals by something like "1.000001222" btc, no configuration examples, no NMC mining with no namecoin wallet...

Slush's pools is most profitable for me, so I really appreciate work done by him, but I always want for something better :-)

Hi, Slush!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE  add possibility to quickly understand if my miners works fine right now on your website. I missed recently that my miner stopped for 2 days.
I visit mining.bitcoin.cz almost every day and overlooked that nothing works. Now the only way to get actual state is to go to https://mining.bitcoin.cz/accounts/profile/, scroll down to "Last share at", remember the timestamp than go to https://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/ and compare "Current round started at:" + "Current round duration:" with the remembered timestamp. I have no idea where is the UTC time. (It is not London's time and obviously it is not local time)

It's almost impossible to understand current state of workers. Please fix it. Make current worker status always visible. And add timezone setting. BTC guild also send email when speed suddenly reduces.

PLEASE :~(

I've tried to sell some coins and got scammed. The buyer just said that someone else got access to it's account and bought these coins. So these prices include a huge risk.

Can anyone recommend hardware for a similar setup for this? I don't necessarily need something with wifi or anything fancy. Just ethernet in one end and USB on the other that reboots quickly after power outage, doesn't require much maintenance after being setup, and preferably something nice enough to run a small webserver on it.

I use e3000 - it is fancy but it's the recommended way. However it may break on power loss - I experienced optware's system file partition crash on force switch off.

can someone explain what the setup is?  i don't understand why you'd want to run cgminer on a router.  you're not trying to mine with the router's proc right?..

no, you mine on the FPGA attached to the router via USB, attached to the router instead of a pc because a router uses very little electricity

i'm new to this concept so forgive me. 

but you use the pc to monitor the routers results right?  how much more electricity does the pc use over the router? 

I see results on mine pool :-) sometimes I monitor it using cgminer api. So router acts as an usual pc and it runs cgminer. I put this router and 2 bfls to an usual middletower so it looks nice and almost wireless (it's only powercord outside) :-)

I'm not sure how much power it takes, probably ~10 Wt for the router and 160 for bfls all these powered by bronse-rated psu.

Tried it on a regular PC? Maybe you'll see the same thing?

Now it shows usual average speed at slush. I don't know what is was, I guess a temporary glitch.

I see strange hashrate on pools after update to this version. I have 2 BFL single, so usually I have ~1650 mh/s, but with this update btc guild says my average speed is only ~1200 mh/s, so I switched to slush's pool. Here I still have adequate payout (about 0.5 btc/day) but reported average hashrate is only 1066 mh/s. I suspect it's because of some side effect of stratum protocol. Do you know why it is so?

(cgminer reports normal hashrate for slush, but reduced hashrate for btc guild :-/ That's odd.)

i understand your worry about. i think now what i have is only my personal reputation but i ensure Avalon project will much transparent than any other project. during Oct. we will have enough technique details. include documents, accurate specs, etc.

Thank you! I would be happy to find out that I'm wrong now. Please don't think that I want to insult anyone, I just want people make good and weighted decisions.

All these asic preorderings looks like scam. Yes, and the BFL's preorderings also does not look good. There are no photos, no documents, no ID papers, links, prototype tests, nothing, but everybody are in "final stage" and take money.

Как отразится на BitCoin подключение такой вычислительной мощи как "Бабочки"
я смотрю, уже имеются значительные предзаказы на их продукцию!

Думаю значительно вырастит сложность, ну а как же курс? Что ждет Биткоин?

Я так понимаю никто ответа так и дать не смог, остается ждать?

Не думаю, что там вообще что-то существует быстрее чем раза в 4 от fpga

I thought I would be able to report about BFL delivery in the related topic :-) I've received shipment notification from BFL about 2 singles ordered June, 20.
