Everyone working properly now? Everything looks good from this end, all shares processed and stats should be in sync. Servers appear stable and all is well... While it was down, I made some mods to the getwork server that eliminated some resource hogging and unstable code related to long polling - if anyone notices problems with LPs, let me know, but it should work much better and faster now. A long poll should hit as soon as a new block is broadcast on the network instead of a second or two later. Also, let me know how the drop outs after a block is solved work out now... I will keep an eye on it, but I can't always see it when a block solves, if I'm off killing people in BF3 Block processing time seems to be between 3 - 6 seconds, down from a maximum of 6 minutes previously. Nice work Inaba.

Seems to work fine. The fixes/optimizations sound good, let's hope they work

Everything seems back to order now on my end. Thanks Inaba!

I've run into something odd--not sure if it's related to the recent changes. Either yesterday or today, my total blocks found went from 8 to 9 (both on the "My Account" screen and the "Hall of Fame" screen), but there is no new block found for me listed in the "Block Stats" page. If I go to the "My Found Blocks" page, it only shows 8 blocks (7 valid + 1 invalid). I took a look at a few of the other account's links on the "Hall of Fame" page, and those added up correctly.
My EMC user name is cobracommander.
[EDIT: Just saw another discrepancy while looking through the "Hall of Fame" page. ocminer is listed as having found 16 blocks there, but clicking the link shows 17 blocks for that account.]

Glad your pool is back up thanks for the hard work!

Yeah, the blocks found is off due to the recent block processing problem. I need to go through and normalize the blocks found field on each user with the actual user who found the blocks. A few people got counted twice (or more than twice), and some not at all. I plan on doing that soon, I just wanted to make sure everything is stable before poking at it with a stick.

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

cgminer shows a pool not providing work fast enough message when the network finds a block. I have not paid much attention though, not sure if it means anything yet.

That's normal and a deficiency in cgminer... I've not found a pool that it doesn't say that on now and again. CGminer is just really aggressive and if it doesn't get it's way it has a tantrum Otherwise, it's a pretty good kid.

I was going to ask you, are you running 5970's on linux? I thought I would test out bamt since since wireless is working with it now, but over-volting does not work on linux. Are you flashing your cards?

Not that you asked me, but all of my video cards are 5970s on Linux (LinuxCoin+SmartCoin). You can definitely control the voltage on 5970s with AMDOverdriveCtrl. I use it to undervolt. However, I do not know about overvolting. My MH/s per watt ratio starts dropping above 875MHz using stock volts. Overvolting would only decrease that ratio for me and add excessive heat. You might have different results though.

Actually, the correct answer is to watch your hash rate after an LP (get a good cgminer monitoring tool) If the rate isn't dropping, then it doesn't matter, cgminer is expecting more than it needs. If the rate drops at all, yes blame the pool for "not providing work fast enough"

You might have different results though. I think it sets the max voltage at stock 1.049, probably the same with 5870s. I've had pretty good luck with 1.100, 870mhz clocks, most stay under 70c unless the sun hits them. I only get stable clocks between 800-830 on stock voltage, 875 would be impressive.

If the rate drops at all, yes blame the pool for "not providing work fast enough" Well, see that's why it throws a tantrum. CGMiner can/should differentiate between the two distinct problems and provide a different message. Additionally why do you need a separate tool to do that? Isn't that built into the display already?

Unless you are really bored and like watching numbers while waiting hours for many LPs to happen, a reliable graph of that is going to show if a pattern exists.

I've been experimenting with the Eclipse pool and noticed something funny. The FAQ says there are no fees but the "Cash Out" button on the Account part of the web site says, "A 10% fee has been already been deducted from the displayed total." when I hover over it.
Are there no fees or is there a 10% fee? I'm not going to PayPal, just my BTC wallet.

There is no fee for using the pool, if you want your btc converted to usd with paypay there is a fee.

There is no fee for using the pool, if you want your btc converted to usd with paypay there is a fee. The paypal fee just covers paypal costs. There is also a fee on any unconfirmed funds to give Inaba some protection against any of the unconfirmed funds being from a block that ends up being invalid.

So is there some point where I can take BTC payment to my wallet without the 10% fee?

After 120 confirmations.

OK, I was just being my usual impatient self. I'll wait for the "Pay Me" button to appear when my balance becomes confirmed.
Having the "Pay Me" button visible but grayed out would be more intuitive than having it invisible like it is. I was left wondering when/how to collect my mined BTC.
