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

[kano]

Well ... actually I have 10 pools in the list (now) - but I have the default pool mode, failover, so only mining on pool 0 most of the time
(except when failing over)

I simply just added the 10diff one to my pool list, restarted and switched to it.
But yeah the other 2 EMC Pools are in the list - but I'd not expect them to be sending me any info

Next time I'll try with some debug/protocol debug on and see what the messages I was getting actually were

Inaba, would it be possible for the user to set a custom difficulty for their miners on the website? It would be nice, with the ASICs coming out, to be able to set your own difficulty depending on what hardware you have.

Thanks!

[Inaba]

Something like that is  in the works Gladamas. I wanted to get the DGM stuff working properly before I move on to more than one difficulty.

I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking, but I'll try to answer it:

It won't take longer to find a valid block because the real difficulty is over 2 million, so whether or not you find a diff1 or diff10 (or diff1000) share won't make any difference to how often you'll find a 2 million difficulty block.  The only reason we do difficulty 1 blocks is to make accounting simple for slower miners.  Back before GPU mining and even during the era of GPU mining, if you were trying to solve a > difficulty 1 block, it's entirely possible you would not get a single share before a LP invalidated your work, so you'd get no credit.  Moving to the lower possible difficulty lets everyone from the slowest to the fastest an equal chance of submitting a share and getting credit for it.

Anyway, there seems to be something wrong with the diff10 calculations and would have ended up overpaying a few people.  I've disabled diff10 shares for the night.  I will take a look at it tomorrow when I'm not so tired and poke at it some more.  The server is still up and running, just serving diff1 shares now.  No need to change anything for anyone who's changed over.

Inaba,

thank you, that answered my question.

DobZombie: Send me a PM with your pool name and I can take a look.

On another note:

For you faster miners out there, I would like to request that you guys help me out testing the new Difficulty 10 server.  http://diff10.eclipsemc.com:8337  ... everything is the same, it's just a new hostname.  That server will be spitting out Difficulty 10 shares.  It seems to be working fine in my internal testing, but I would like to get some more miners on it and see how it goes.

I don't recommend it for slower miners though, as you may end up with more stales than usual.

on diff10 for now.

Thank you, no problem, and no rush at all. I was just curious if that was possible

freakin whammies, go plague some other pool 

[evanesce]

We having some awful bad luck this round!

Edit: for future reference this was for block 193760 which took almost 12 hours at a 0.32% luck score... all that for my ~BTC0.03 heh

[bogidu]

this is the round that never ends. . . .  it just goes on and on my friend. . . .  .*sigh*

Finally LOL

[stoppots]

common now no more whammies

[stoppots]

keep them greens rollin

Website will be going down in a few minutes while I replace some hardware on the FS.  The mining servers *should* stay up this time.  Downtime should be less than 30 minutes.

[Inaba]

Servers coming back up shortly.  Share processing will take a bit to catch up, so stats will be wonky until it does.

Just wanted to make sure no one had problems with mining this time when the web server went down, right? 

[stoppots]

haven't notice anything here

[Inaba]

All cached shares have been processed and things should start sliding back to normal now.

New file server is up and running, so there shouldn't be any random drop outs and I can actually get some sleep tonight instead of worrying about the stupid file server crashing again.

[goxed]

Wow! only 10 seconds

[macavity]

I'm interested in mining account-less (username=payment address), but I can't seem to find much information about it. How is it handled? Are there stats? When are miners paid? What happens if I stop mining?

[Inaba]

All you need to do is put either your Dwolla ID or your BTC wallet address as the username.  Password can be anything.
