Now let me ask this:
What do you guys think about doing away with difficulty 1 shares entirely and moving to difficulty 10 across the board? How many people would that impact ultimately?
I'm a little miner @ 200 Mh/s so I'm guessing that would affect me. BTW I just came back after a-whoring after false pools.  |

Inaba, could you just change everything to a difficulty of 2 to help with share processing until you find a way to have people run at different difficulties?
I don't live in the Europe so no EU does not effect me, but could you host a PPS only server there so it does not have to do DGM calculations? Or would that be just be silly, I don't know how many people use PPS.

The DGM calculations are not a big deal, it's taking in and processing all the shares in order due to DGM that is the bottleneck. If I could take them in any order, it would make things a lot easier, but it has to be strictly linear for DGM.
Hmm... changing everything to 2diff might be an option... that should not affect anyone in any meaningful way and the servers should be ready for it. Let me give that some thought.

Earning as BTC between now and the reward halving is my main goal. I consider myself a small miner and the variance already is killing me. My vote would be to keep from making any drastic changes that could effect miners earnings or variance of, untill after the reward halving.
The fluctuation in the pool speed thats been spoken of basically cut my earnings per block in half. Some being new miners some being backed up shares and then the time its taking to balance back out is costing me now that blocks are being found quickly after the bad luck lately.

It will cut your reward per block in half, true, but it will also give you 2x as many blocks to make up for it, on average. Hopefully the luck is turning around. It's been pretty crappy this week for sure.

Ok... so the hashrate of the pool increased by 700 GH/s overnight. No idea where that came from and that's why things started getting backed up. I knew we were up against a hard limit on share processing and was the driving reason behind adding another DC to handle the load, but I didn't expect 700 GH/s overnight.
It's all good now though, I have it covered and I can deploy even another server (each server should be able to handle ~1.5 - 1.7 TH/s in it's current configuration) if need be in a few minutes.
Now let me ask this:
What do you guys think about doing away with difficulty 1 shares entirely and moving to difficulty 10 across the board? How many people would that impact ultimately?
What's the pain threshold using diff10? Does the stale issue only get bad when under 1GH? |

I don't know what the threshold would be specifically, I haven't done enough testing to really get a good handle on it what it means for what hashrates. I do know that watching cgminer is kinda weird when you don't see the shares flowing by.
Which server, goxed?
BR0KK: Yes, the hashrate is accurate. We picked up all the OzCoin miners that left it seems. Blocks are flowing nicely though.

People smarter than me said diff 5 shares would be good for mini rigs. I would help test if you get this setup. Maybe a server at http://diff-5.eclipsemc.com:8332 ? Even better, can that server hand out whatever difficulty share you request in the sub domain or in a url parameter? |

Dynamic difficulty is on the block, but I wanted to get static difficulty working with DGM before I introduced a sliding scale for people.

I can't use any diff until I get the DGM problem figured out, as mixing the diffs on the live server causes problems. I would have to switch the whole pool to diff 5 in one go. If I can't get it figured out in the next few days, I may look into that option.

Would it be easier to run pplns with different difficulty shares? Or is this a problem for Meni? |

Welcome to all OzCoin miners. Your hard work is much appreciated to get those crappy luck blocks done faster.  |

I've got the server load bit done, but I need to make some changes to the header templates so that it displays properly. Should have it up and running tomorrow. US1 is the place to be at the moment  |

Hey Inaba for some reason the charts on the web site don't appear when using Chrome. I verified they work under Firefox and IE.

I'm ok with diff10. What happened to your plans to have a diff10 server alongside with diff1? |
