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

[Graet]

hi,

just reporting my exp with ozcoin and Icarus on win7:

default miner.py = no work
icarus+cgminer = BSOD(bad pool header)

not sure
I know we have one guy with ~15ghash of icarus mining fine, tho he runs linux
I'll see if any of the cgminer guys have ideas

I switched to mpbm miner and it's fine now!

Good news

I'm going to be getting some BFL (FPGA) miners soon and am worried about the frequency of LONGPOLL on merged mining. If I mine on the bitcoin only address (http://us.ozco.in:8331 Bitcoin Only) will I get a reduced number of LONGPOLLS? Once every 10 minutes on average?

Yes, and you can also do merged mining with just the bitcoin longpolls as well on a per-worker basis at ozcoin.

If you use cgminer you can use the --submit-stales switch on the merged mining ports as well. You still get more longpolls due to the faster NMC block find rate, but since you are submitting your 'stales' (which are not really stale, and will be accepted by the pool), it should not affect your net hashrate significantly.

If you don't care for NMC yourself, you could always set your NMC donation at 100% for the pool. I'm sure Graet would appreciate it.

I don't see anyway to independently set BTC NMC donation levels.

But that would be a great/graet feature suggestion.

You are right ... and I agree it would be a great/graet feature!

It has been suggested before, and will be implemented

  then what gives? why am i getting half of what i should get?

Uh, because luck sucks at the moment?  Not much one can do with 6+ million rounds, but grin and bear it.

Luck has actually been fine...just this latest 6million+ round that sucks.

Check that url.  The red line is mostly above the difficulty, which, I think, is bad.

Variance can be a bitch, right. But overall the pool performs better than average:

ø Shares/Difficulty Ratio:   93.52% (since block 1 found)

Enough said!

Overall that is good.  But today still sucks .

[Graet]

yeah, had a very sucky run of luck - hoping it picks up

 AU ppl The Project (ch10 news show) had a SR article today, I'm asking AU ppl to tweet theprojecttv and tell them to do a proper BTC story - BTC is way bigger than SR

Some amazing results tonight with Xiangfu's Icarus mining farm running on a single cgminer instance.

It's 1 cgminer with 91 Icarus hashing away at ~33.75GH/s BUT still only using 3% of the CPU in a 32 bit ubuntu linux!

Here's the main API output reformatted to fit here:

Code:

very impressed with this, and proud to say it was achieved on Ozcoin with cgminer
good work

is there a possibility to use port 80 @ the eu server?

[Graet]

is there a possibility to use port 80 @ the eu server?

yes, port80 is open on both mining nodes

You might want to edit your first post.

4. Join your miner to the pool:
hostname: http://us.ozco.in:8332 http://us.ozco.in:80 http://eu.ozco.in:8332 http://au.ozco.in:8332

I guess I should,done
Though on the page we make workers

pool operation has been as smooth as silk recently, lovin it 

any progress on the api stat avatars?
