[0Th]Ozcoin Pooled Mining |DGM 1%|Stratum+VarDiff port 80|NEW CN mining|

[Graet]

We have run a duplicate payout for  block 201731 - miners that had a score have now been paid twice for that block 
The balance of the unusual fees I will put into the "buffer" - DGM has no "buffer" as such. I do however ensure I keep funds aside from times of good luck to cover times of bad, an unofficial buffer if you like
Best wishes
Graeme

now you make me blush
thanks

share processing got stuck as we found block 202481
we have restarted processing but stats will look weird for the next few hours

I think there's a better version of that "Who's Awesome" somewhere on the internet

Are we trying to set a new record?  17hr 37minutes since last block. 

I keep tweaking things.. right now I'm glad I have 1/2 pointed here and 1/2 at eclipse.

If everyone divided their hashrate among all pools equally (and thus all pools had equal hashrate) there'd be very little variance in earnings at all and PPS wouldn't be needed.

And then, I suppose, there would be world peace.

Hope you don't mind if don't hold my breath.

I usually don't follow everything you say.  But this one got me thinking.  This implies that at any given moment, some pool somewhere is having good luck, therefore, if you were in all pools, you'd never have bad luck.  I don't think that's true.  All pools could be having bad luck, which means PPS would still come out ahead.

Did I miss something along the way?

Yes, you missed that the weighted average luck of all the pools you are mining on is ... the weighted average luck of all the pools you are mining on

So it's adding up the hash rates of all the pools you are mining on and thus reducing your pool block finding variance due to that.

Even the whole network doesn't necessarily match PPS in the short term ... it's always of course one of the 3: above, the same, below

To put it yet another way, this statement:

This implies that at any given moment, some pool somewhere is having good luck, therefore, if you were in all pools, you'd never have bad luck.

which, as you suggest is incorrect, is ignoring the fact that we're looking at an average earning over many blocks. What I'm saying (and what Meni Rosenfeld explained in another thread a while back) is that as time goes on and you submit shares to blocks, the variance of mining at a single non PPS pool is much greater than the variance of mining at all non PPS pools. There's more to it than that, but that's the basic gist of it.

I usually don't follow everything you say.

Not sure if I was just insulted, there.

What about Namecoin-Mining? Did it get stuck?

Namecoin Round: [ 1,250,782 Shares | 2d 9h 56m | 90.34% Efficiency ]

sure looks like it
tonight's thing to fix
cheers

Pool: [ 160.32 GHash/s | 118 Users | 240 Workers ]  - What happened?  I got bumped off?

Pretty sure that was a compliment.

shouldn't have been bumped off
site lagged while 2 days of NMC shares processed
caught up now

Thank You, I see it is back to normal.

Not at all!  That means you speak way over my head most of the time!

Has the PPS accumulations/payout balance stopped incrementing?

I could be wrong, but it looks like mine has stalled out over the last few hours.
