Just had a weird payment bug - I made a 5 BTC payment to my wallet, and my large balance display didn't change. I went back into the payment screen and it only showed 6 bit cents as the eligible amount (the amount left over), so it must have know that I had very little BTC left, it just displayed the total incorrectly. It's still doing it wrong after a couple minutes.

M0mchil, the help message for the failback parameter still refers to "2" instead of the new default "10": group.add_option('-b', '--failback', dest='failback', default=10, help='attempt to fail back to the primary pool every N getworks, [b]default 2[/b]', type='int')

So what is the difference between 6000 botnet machines doing CPU mining and 6000 normal users doing CPU mining? Aren't they just as bad for the network/pool because of their effect on the server? Enforcing some kind of efficiency standard would help everyone else in the pool who is pulling their weight.

What's the proper "git" way to keep the software up-to-date? If I already have it installed and just want to freshen it up?

The account balance of the botnet has been donated to Bitcoin Faucet.
While I enjoy the "revenge" and "justice" of denying them their money, I think that legally, it was not the proper thing to do. Courts decide how to award damages, not site owners.

Run Chris Howie's bitcoin mining proxy on your rig. It provides multi level instant failover to other pools in case your favorite pool has any kind of problems. Your miners will just keep mining and never even know there was a problem. I love this program.
The newest poclbm makes this unnecessary - the software supports multiple servers with failover. Of course if you're running another miner...

I recently came back to Deepbit after using BTCGuild. Everything is wonderful, but one thing I miss is the hash rate for each worker. I think it was computed over a 15 minute period. It helps to see this on the account page so I can see if all of the workers are doing their job and haven't failed. I also can't believe how fast the website is compared to BTCGuild. Thanks Tycho.

The latest version doesn't accept the HOST command - it requires a SERVER entry instead.
It also has an annoying blank-line scrolling behavior that only goes away if you make xterm full screen.

Something doesn't add up - if all these people are returning their systems to Newegg, why isn't the hash rate dropping: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/Unless they never built their miner or go it online.

I have two rigs mining but this is my main one:
Mike - who makes that plastic case you are using? What is that box in the front with the four lights on it?

Are you overclocking the cards? If so, you pushed it too far.
If you aren't overclocking, then one or more of your cards are bad.

Hey eleuthria, you know what would really make the site better? If you have a "total reward" that added up the confirmed and unconfirmed. Put it on top of confirmed or below unconfirmed and the page that shows miners and work would be alot more awesome. It would be even better if you donated 2.5%, then you wouldn't need to worry about adding the confirmed and unconfirmed amounts together.

I think eleuthria has gotten things under control again. My hash rate (on the website) has gone back up and the total GHash rate of btcguild is skyrocketing.

What is the problem to do this banning automatically? either using iptables or directly in the pool server daemon?
Doing it automatically will take more time to develop the code. I'd rather he fix the problem quickly, then go back and look for an elegant way to do it.

I run one of my cards on Windows, and two more of the same kind on Linux. Same software (poclbm), same settings, same exact amount of overclocking. Here is the result:
Shares: 24279 (Windows) 28622 (Linux) 28575 (Linux)
Notice any difference?

I'm going to be having a short (< 1 minute) restart on the server this weekend to update pushpool. The update will reduce overall load on the MySQL database, and it will include a fix to the reset column so it won't be resetting the counts.
Do we need to restart the miners (poclbm) after the outage or will they just recover on their own?

How is the payout for each donating user for invalid blocks calculated?
|
|
|
eleuthria, what is the pool's percentage of invalid blocks (since inception)? (I'm considering donating).
