With the variable difficulty server, I'm seeing a huge improvement over deepbit.
Could just be a really lucky TWO days.

I collected some statistics from the 11 days before coming to try Eclipse MC.

11 Day combined Earnings 8.9945 BTC (0.8177 BTC / day)
 - Deepbit (primary pool, 2 workers PROP) - Avg 0.7718 BTC / day

Eclipse Var-Diff 48 hour earnings DGM. (may include name coin income)
22:47  09/05/2012 1.14604199 BTC +32.66% (DB) ---- +28.65% (Overall)
22:16  09/06/2012 1.0352091 BTC +25.45% (DB) ---- +21.01% (Overall) Difficulty increase

Just for the record:  You can't even compare pool earnings over a 30 day comparison.  Luck introduces significantly more variance than you think.  For example:

BTC Guild has 12.08% negative luck during the 1733207 difficulty.  We had positive 10.54% luck during 2440642.  While most 2 week periods aren't quite as extreme, BTC Guild was the 2nd/3rd largest pool for those two periods, and still had variance in the double digits for a ~14 day window [although as PPS, nobody but me saw the effect of that variance].


Pick the pool that has the features you want, the reliability you want, and weight that against the fee it charges.  Unless the pool is cheating you (or their payment system allows for hopping), the Fee vs Features/Stability tradeoff is all that matters for your payout in the long run.

Which is a really good point, eleuthria. This is a little OT, but is there any simple way you can think of that would allow for accurate reporting of downtime? Would this have to come from the pools themselves? It would be good to aggregate downtime info in the Mining pools list thread so miners looking for a pool don't have to wade through an entire thread to come to a decision on whether a pool has had long term downtime.

(apologies for the OT, Inaba)

These numbers were for Inaba because he introduced a new feature. I've always used a backup pool but I've never mined anywhere fulltime except deepbit so I'm comparing eclipsemc against it. I hope no one is thinking I'm talking smack about deepbit, I love deepbit.

At the moment, i'm doing well with Inaba's new feature. and that trend continues still.

I just finished the DGM testing for vardiff and everything looks spot on there as well.  I'm going to roll out vardiff on to the diff10 server (I guess it won't be diff10 anymore) and then to the rest of the servers if the diff10 server doesn't crash an burn.

are you going to rename the server address? I'm using its ip directly anyway. And the email/sms notification still doesn't work for me.

[Inaba]

I won't be renaming the server just yet. 

I just made a change a few hours ago to the SMS.  Can you test now and see if it's working?  International SMSs were blocked from the Canadian gateway which I was routing you through.

Nope, no sms, no email.

[Inaba]

There's no email address set on your account. There was a bug last night that cleared some of the email addresses when an account was updated.  You try entering your email address and again see if the email is working.  It should be.

I opened a support ticket with regards to your number to see why it's failing.

My SMS not working too, I'm in USA... also my email is missing too.

I suppose pay-out lock will activate again if I put my email back in?

[dave3]

I've started to receive 2 copies of the blocked solved alert emails lately -- the exact same email sent at the same time or 1 second apart.

[Inaba]

Gah two?  Well, can't say as I'm not thorough!  

I'm not sure how you would be receiving two though.  What was the last double one you received?

BlackPrapor: There is a routing issue with your SMS carrier and they are working on the issue now.  I will update you once I get word back from them.

Ok... I just made a change, see if that fixes it.

The last email was good -- just received one of them.  Thanks.

I'm just curious:  why are you guys using direct SMS notification?

If you set up notification from Eclipse to a Gmail address you can set up an automatic notification filter to send a text message.  I do this now with a stock trading service I subscribe to.  Works great.

I can ping the pool OK, but I can't authenticate to @208.110.68.114?  Is there anything wrong?

Looks like the static IP address is changed, so I switched my miner to the domain us2.eclipsemc.com

[Inaba]

US1 and Diff10 (same server) lost power for some reason.  US2 and US3 are/were fine.  The website also lost power.  No shares were lost or anything, and everything is back now.  I will be adding one more US server in the near future and then a new EU and PACRIM server as well.

Please let me know if something isn't right, but it should all be back to normal now.

[BlackPrapor]

email is working now, thansk Inaba  . Sms is still no go. My account was locked since I've changed added back my email address, and as soon as it got unlocked, I received an sms alert. It's all working fine now, thanks a lot Inaba 

[Inaba]

Great!  Glad to hear it... slowly working the bugs out of the SMS system
