[1200 TH] EMC: 0 Fee DGM. Anonymous PPS. US & EU servers. No Registration!

[cengique]

I've been having problems with the US servers in the past few days, I'm using Phoenix 1.x and haven't changed my configuration for a while now.

I have problems too. I lost connection for a short time, then it connects again and so on. Losing Hashrate from 3,6 to 2,8 GHash :-( I'm on US3 and Nick is bitcoindigger

I know that DGM if you get disconnected and reconnect it is alot less compared to proportional

This is wrong, where did you hear this?

[Inaba]

I am working on the issue... might have a potential fix soon, if it doesn't let up in the meantime.  Seems to come and go though... wonder if it's a botnet of some sort.

Is the EU server better for mining inside EU?
what is adress to there.

I read somewhere that when you just connect to DGM you will recieve less bitcoins compared to those mining long and it evens out after mining long.
But obviously because something is bad with my connection to mining(my internet is high quality and basicaly 100% working).

So I don't know as I wrote earlier I have the problems as I wrote earlier, not sure how that effects my mining and if I should consider proportional.

You should probably look into your modem/gateway/router to see if there is any funny business going on, particularly if you use a gateway. It takes a little while to get to your full share in DGM, but it takes just as long to lose it, If you have an hour of downtime when you lose connection I doubt you're missing out on much of a payout if at all. It really all depends on the pools luck and time of your connection loss.

Please correct me if I'm wrong Meni.

Can someone help me how I figure out my stale %?
I just started using cgminer.

Maybe cgminer allows me to log and see how much my mhash is over long time and % stales?

It looks like it is only 3-6s down according cgminer, it is 3 failures in 30minutes now that I look, So I guess in 1 hour that is around 30seconds of failure in total, so I guess I'm loosing less than 1% of my hashing power?

The CGMiner thread contains all the value definitions you need;

Each column is as follows:
5s:  A 5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate
avg: An all time average hash rate
Q:   The number of requested (Queued) work items from the pools
A:   The number of Accepted shares
R:   The number of Rejected shares
HW:  The number of HardWare errors
E:   The Efficiency defined as number of shares returned / work item
U:   The Utility defined as the number of shares / minute

TQ is Total Queued work items.
ST is STaged work items (ready to use).
SS is Stale Shares discarded (detected and not submitted so don't count as rejects)
DW is Discarded Work items (work from block no longer valid to work on)
NB is New Blocks detected on the network
LW is Locally generated Work items
GF is Getwork Fail Occasions (server slow to provide work)
RF is Remote Fail occasions (server slow to accept work)

As for a log IDK

I read somewhere that when you just connect to DGM you will recieve less bitcoins compared to those mining long and it evens out after mining long.

When you start mining in a DGM pool you get less bitcoins at first. But you don't start from scratch if you disconnect and reconnect, your score is preserved and takes a while to decay. You will still receive payouts for your existing score while you're disconnected. If you disconnect for an hour you lose an hour's worth of mining, that's all.

It takes a little while to get to your full share in DGM, but it takes just as long to lose it, If you have an hour of downtime when you lose connection I doubt you're missing out on much of a payout if at all. It really all depends on the pools luck and time of your connection loss.

Sounds about right.

What's up with namecoins? Some weird stuff going on, by looking at Block Stats...

[Inaba]

I've made some changes that might help with the halting issue on a LP. 

I've got some bigger changes coming down the road, but I need time to finish them and test them.  I probably switch US3 server over to a new system first at some point.  I'll make a post when it's ready.

As far as Namecoins goes, there was a small problem with block processing, should be fixed now, though.

Something is defenetly wrong with the eu server?

I always get this with cgminer (GPUs) and my Ztex Cluster:

[Inaba]

I am working on deploying a replacement test server tonight.  Assuming all goes well, I will deploy it everywhere soon.  I hope to have the test server ready to go in a couple hours.

It will have the added bonus of allowing PPS and DGM on the same server if all goes according to plan.

Working as fast as I can!  It's a major deployment, so I don't want to screw it up and it's moving my timeline for server deployments forward by quite a bit.

[mufa23]

Sounds good. Hope it all goes well!

[Inaba]

Ok guys, if I could get some of you to test the new server:

http://us1.eclipsemc.com:8117

The server should support both Anonymous PPS and DGM mining.

If you wish to mine via PPS, just set your BTC address or Paypal email address as your worker name.  

If you wish to use DGM like normal, just use your regular worker name.  

Please be advised, since you can do anonymous PPS on the same server port, if you enter incorrect authenticated credentials the system will treat your shares as anonymous PPS shares, so be sure you are using the correct worker name.

This server is experimental, and I am somewhat leary of leaving it running while I go to bed, but it's late and I really need some load testing on the server.  Hopefully nothing breaks while I sleep.  Be sure to set a backup pool.

Please report any problems you encounter here.

Please be advised, since you can do anonymous PPS on the same server port, if you enter incorrect authenticated credentials the system will treat your shares as anonymous PPS shares, so be sure you are using the correct worker name.

Just a suggestion, because it WILL happen that somebody screws up their credentials:  Add a length check on the username field so that it will reject the miner credentials if they're not the length of a wallet address, assuming it doesn't match regular mining credentials.

[Inaba]

Well, there are user names longer than a bitcoin address, so I'm not sure that will work.  I'm open to suggestions though. 

Basically, what it does now is check if the user exists, if not it checks if its' a BTC address, if not it checks if it's an email address.  So a user has 3 chances to get the information correct

[Inaba]

Ok, US3 is now running off of the new server.  Please report any problems here... but things seem to be going well.

As a side note, I think I may have figured out why the servers have been acting poorly during a longpoll.

With the new CGMiner checking LPs on all pools that are attached, we have over 3000 LP watchers per server (some much more than 3000)... so any time a LP hits on the old servers, they are overloaded with LPs which halts things for a bit.  The new server should handle it much more gracefully.

[testconpastas2]

Is it "my workers" tab working ?  when i start my miners on eu server  they didn't show up there.

[Inaba]

Share processing was stuck... I just gave it a kick in the ass, you should see all your submitted shares now.
