Hey Guys.
        So I decided to try out the new platform, been changing my difficulty around and such.  I did notice that cgminer is showing a best share of 9.1k vs ozcoins POT stats of 830.  Does the error in cgminer's 'best share' happen often, just one of those blips?  No rejected shares.

Thanks.


Hi do you have 2.10.3 version of cgminer? this version fixes the "wrong best share shown" bug Smiley

Thinking about continuing trial and lowering a=0.8 to 0.75 or 0.7 reduces variance a little and raising cap to 5*D instead of 1.5*D

feedback welcome Smiley

That is what I would like to see in POT rewards.  If my calculations are correct I think 5.6*D would be the magic number and provide a 1 BTC share for the block solve.

Edit  - As in max share block solve...

Hi Graet.
     I was using  the 10.2,  your boys figured out the problem quickly, switching over to 10.3 today, Currently mining at 500 difficulty, around p2p difficulty, have been down, up, down, up.  I am used to huge variance with p2p and will keep mining until asic's show up.   Keep up the great work!

Thanks.

Here is a small patch against cgminer-2.10.3 that shows the value of each share calculated using PPS, POT, and the latest proposed system (PPOT.)  I do not include any pool fees in the calculations so the value will be high by a few percent.

I also modified the target and share difficulty display in the "Accepted" log message.  It now shows more accuracy.  (Average target and share difficulties are kept as well.)

Cut and paste the patch below into a file, cgminer.patch .  Then:

$ tar xvf ~/Downloads/cgminer-2.10.3.tar.bz2
$ patch -p0 < cgminer.patch

Configure and build as normal.

So what are the a and cap values right now?

Edit: Sorry, what is this latest proposed system (PPOT) ? It is about the new a = 0.75, X = 5D proposed values ?
(I see it mentioned in the patch as pro_pot )

Interesting, cgminer with hackjealousy patch:



On the left is Ozcoin where you can see a comparison between PPS, current POT and POT with a = 0.75, cap = 5D. Pool fees are not included.

 Huh
I can see in cgminer shares still accepted alright by Ozcoin (POT) ...but acording to Ozcoin site my workers are dead for a while and of course no shares accepted since.

Also I can see around 300 shares accepted in DGM section on the current round although I am not on DGM.

More work got done on the shares counting section, and a few bugs cropped up, and Wayno got them squashed. Smiley

Things should be proper now.

Edit: I just looked at things, and the "Round Shares" is, at least at this point in time, a normal thing.  You are not being paid DGM if you are not using DGM.  That same value is used for the bot in the IRC channel.  Sorry if it causes any confusion.

About your workers being dead on the site, I don't know about that one off hand.  Mine show as active, and I'm on PoT also.

The "Round Shares" value is used for the bot in the IRC channel now.  You can either ignore it, or use it to your advantage while looking elsewhere on the site.  That value will show how many shares you have for this round, on either DGM, PPS, or POT.  It doesn't actually mean you are on DGM at the time any more.
