Nov 11 to Dec 11 SIDEHACK compac stick pool club. New run.

[vapourminer]

can we start the run earlier? say I fire it up the night before, screenshot it at 7 AM local time on 21 November, then 24 hours later.. ie a more than 24 hour run as long as at least 24 hours of it is in that time frame. Ive noticed that sometimes the stick is hard to start at high clocks and once it fires at a particular speed it tends to just run.

yeah  we make you first about 7am east coast time.

once you think it is working.  sat 705 or 710 or even 730 am .

post a screenshot of the miner gui.+ crypto glance.
  I will post a comparable  matching cryptoglance.
and a shot from ckpool

So I have vapourminer pencilled in at 7am east coast time= EST    sat morning 21st 2015

1)vapourminer   7am EST  = 2am GMT

ok so we need a fresh instance of cgminer? I need to quit it and fire up a new one so you can see the 24 hour high share and share count just for 24 hours only correct? ie not a cgminer instance thats been 48 hours running.

I ask for clarification as Im having trouble on occasion starting my stick up at the higher clocks and once it fires its very stable so I was going to get a good speed and let it run for days with a 24 hour window in the oc contest.

but

if you need a fresh cgminer instance and a starting time slot Ill do the 7am to 7:30am EST on 21 nov (thats 2am gmt?). with  screenshots with cryptoglances stats and a 24 hour only cgminer run at the start and finish times.

whatever is easiest for you and the other contestants. after all this is for fun, not a rules laden headache..

the problem with a day old starting point is if you have a good high share like 1 bill  .  and you never top that high share you would lose the highest single share second prize since we don't know what you pulled while mining in the 24 hour period.
  now if you don't mind that because you want the fastest stick with the most shares i don't mind you starting with a 20 hour 30 hour warmed up stick.  it raises your chance at the most shares in 24 hours and if you have a high share during those 20 hours it will lower you chance of winning highest share.

so let it run all warmed up if you want.  and I will make note of the high share when we put the timer on so to speak.

Just a little note from the guy who designed and wrote almost all the API code and API documentation in cgminer ... (and was copied to other miners) ... (yep you can blame me)

The API command "zero|bestshare,true" will reset best share
... and 'true' will dump a status before doing the zero, to the console/log similar to when you exit cgminer

If you want to reset everything, not just best share, the command is "zero|all,true"

Edit: and if you want to use json it's {"command":"zero","parameter":"bestshare,true"}

kano I use your api and the the miner.php  (and myminer.php) sample code in my home wamp web server. its a nice and easy way to monitor the sticks.

thanks for your work on cgminer.

I have donated btc to you and -ck back in the day too. cgminer rocks

no problem.

I am going to give kanos api reset a shot and see what it logs and displays but ill try to do a fresh cgminer start for the stock oc contest just to keep everything in line with the other contestants.  and no problem giving up the high share part if I do let it run over for the  24 hours stable part of the contest.

Not too bad:

Best share: 1'774'945.5528709118... or is it :/ ?

FYI, in case anyone is interested, ck has added a new "bestever" element to the JSON output.

I noticed it by accident while manually checking my sticks' stats. Doesn't seem like it was announced anywhere, unless I missed it.

At some point I'll update my notification script to handle this since it's interesting (albeit ultimately worthless) info.

[xZork]

I've extended my donation for another 17 hours.

Phil, could I get it added to the stats page?

here:

There will be a brief blip in mining while the pool is restarted for some minor updates. Most of you should not fail over or notice any interruption to mining unless you're looking at your cgminer console.

Restart complete, apologies as there was about 10 seconds of downtime so most of you would have failed over temporarily. Check your stats for some of the latest changes.

I noticed one change in Status: "bestever" .

Thank you

Can I join once I get my stick running?

I had it going for a bit but it seems that my server fell over this AM when I rebooted it remotely.

Perfect as soon the opportunity presents itself (ie i get the machine back up and running hopefully this afternoon) I'll jump in

Thanks!

Would it be ok for you if I start at midnight GMT tonight (More or less in 3 and a half hours from now if I'm not mistaken)?

I'm trying to think of a time before you go to sleep, instead of "early in the morning" so it's easier for you to check. But really all this about the timezones gets me a little confused so I don't know if I got it right.

it is 5:35 New York- New Jersey time I will stay awake for 6 more hours from now and I will check here over and over.

I will post when I go to sleep and post when I am back.  There are less then 12 contestants  so I think I can do it .

The screenshot collage came out a bit ugly but here it is:

Thanks, but I saw that and had already posted in that thread. Ck responded with some nice details for the new stats value here:
