Sido, I think I have figured out why I am getting so many prevhash-stales. My network difficulty is >1M. So I guess quite often, by the time I solve a piece, the pool has already moved on to the next block. Then I have opportunity lost at the start of the next block, since I am still solving stuff for the previous block.

Suggestion: Can you please put a maximum cap on the difficulty of something reasonable like say 250k or something or is this not within your control or do we need stratum to be able to do something like this?

I wish others with powerful rigs (i.e., >1.4 MH) would let me know if they are having the same problem with prevhash-stales with cgminer.

Thanks, and I just "rewarded" the pool by finding the last two blocks  .

You must have mine for much more than 24 hours to see a balance already. It is taking close to 40 hours at this point for it to go non-zero.

do we need stratum to be able to do something like this?

I understand the concept. I just don't understand why the pool isn't paying out correctly.
Sido, could you check my account please?

Thanks in advance

[mg27341]

Hey sido, why does the pool site say at the bottom:

Last block value: 0.164687 BTB

It's been at that value for more than 24 hours, is that really the last block value? I would have thought that it went down from that due to difficulty increases.

all right, one more redbull and i'll jump on this too...

Hey sido, why does the pool site say at the bottom:

Last block value: 0.164687 BTB

It's been at that value for more than 24 hours, is that really the last block value? I would have thought that it went down from that due to difficulty increases.

i'm parsing it from transactions of bitbar daemon, but there is same number http://www.bitbar.info/stats/index.php

I noticed that too. I wonder if something is hardcoded to prevent the reward dropping too low. In which the developer needs to address this

here we go numbers are upside down, but little bit sorted

your counted shares:
"2609","5438","113","65","12","1","0.00" (first number is not important, then block number, your id, count, invalid shares, 1, score)
-- block found, you are getting reward // this scenario will be repeated

if there is no counting for block, there are possible reasons
- you wasn't solved share in current round, blocks was jumping in every 30 seconds (even less)
    ("1880","5415","113","2","0","1","0.00" // "2143","5421","113","1","11","1","0.00") as you can see, those are pretty close to zero
- server is down, it's exactly from this moments when server was lagging as hell, i was restarting services, etc

with informations which i have from database it looks as it should be, sadly i don't have so old share history to compare counted shares with published to pool

but i was checking your uncounted shares and there is counting for almost every one block... few spaces here

And that's really weird because the number of pools available is overwhelming.

In general 520 confirmations should take days. Calculating with 10 minute blocks there are 6*24 = 144 blocks a day, thus close to 4 days for a mined block to mature.

I wish others with powerful rigs (i.e., >1.4 MH) would let me know if they are having the same problem with prevhash-stales with cgminer.

No, but I'm using separate workers for each card.

whats the advantage of doing this?
