why is eclipse pool becoming so unlucky?

[Inaba]

Hour sixteen says YES... all you other hours:  Piss off!

The pool isn't really unlucky.  Just look at the bottom of the block stats page, we are within 4% of the median for the last 50 blocks, and it swings back and forth within 5% or so most of the time.  It's pretty much exactly where you'd expect it to be over time.

Looks like estimated_rewards is always 0:

"estimated_rewards":0

Am I the only one using this?

[Inaba]

Where are you seeing that?

[mdude77]

Where are you seeing that?

On the API output.  The website shows a value (less than 1, only 2.5 gh pointed here), the API shows 0.  Always.

Edit: It's there now.  It wasn't when I wrote  the original note..

US2 seems to be the sweet spot for me.

It's doing it again.  The website says:

Code:

	0.06064159

The API says:

Code:

"estimated_rewards":0

As of now we're ~16 mins into a block.

Edit: 4mins later, the API is properly showing it..

Hmm... I remember I ran into this same problem in the quick stats a long time ago but I can't remember what caused it specifically...

I made a change to how that is handled, did it fix the problem?  I can't duplicate it on my test accounts on command.

Hard to tell since it seemed to be sporadic.  I'll let you know if I see it again.

say for example I want to get a diff 5 share only how do I configure that in Eclipse as you offer Vardiff

[Inaba]

You can't, the serve decides what your appropriate share difficulty is based on how many shares you return (which is usually indicative of your hashrate).

Do all 3 servers do this?  I've never used anything but us1, and I'm no longer getting anything but difficulty 1 there.  Around 2.5gh atm.  Not high enough?

M

[Inaba]

Yes, all three servers do this.  They each have a different target.  But yeah at 2.5GH/s, you probably won't see above Diff1 very often.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty damn sure I'm increasing the luck

Blocks Found: 8

Paid Out: 182.37

[betatest512]

Is there a way to disable Dynamic Difficulty so I get only Diff 1 shares even if I have a high hashrate?

[Inaba]

Nope.  Why would you want to do that?

[cyberlync]

Something wrong with NMC? Pretty wild invalid streak.

noticed the quick stats changes, nice

Just released the first version of cgminer to natively support GBT, version 2.9.0.

However, the block change performance of EMC on GBT is lacklustre:

[Inaba]

Where did my posts go after my answer to Cyberlync?  There's a bunch of posts missing.

Thanks for the work Con, I appreciate it.  Hopefully the problems with GBT can get worked out.

[Inaba]

Con, I have some changes pushed to all servers that should help with the problem you list.  Can you check if that solves the problem?

One question, though, it appears you are polling for a new block template every 30 seconds is that intended?
