Yes, it was because of restart. Please ask m0mchil if he will be so kind and fix this issue. I think some network issues will be common.

I just sent first rewards! Please check your wallets and confirm if transfer was succesfull!

Code:

2010-12-17 01:38:22.037611
Testnet: False
Send 16.71 to 1CHwovmchLYrw9gAL7DUHnReDwyKySGjqg

Send 7.92 to 1JdEn5LeMREmAjcAi4KWf8EX6zkubqGn55
Send 1.66 to 13TSBH4wdchsMqFTwqyLjvPES99sZ96MaP
Initial balance: 50.0, sent total 35.21 for 4 people, time 0.3 sec

In system is 10 more people which send treshold is above their current reward. Sending script looks fine, so I will setup automatic transfering during Friday.

[slush]

Yay, we solve another block. After recalculating rewards and with balance from previous block, it was possible to send bitcoins directly. Please comment, if transactions were succesfull!

2 transactions received.
12.08btc contributing ~100Mhash/s, not that bad for a first day.

Would somebody be so kind as to tell me how to connect with the regular bitcoind (linux)?

Thanks,

Connecting with bitcoind to mining pool is not possible (yet, but it would be cool). You have to use some standalone miner (links on http://mining.bitcoin.cz). If you have only CPU, I recommend you jgarzik's CPU miner, which is on some platforms little faster than official bitcoin client.

Great

I am mining with both my GPU and my CPU.  Putting in about 100 MHash/sec

Cheers,

I decided to try this pooling setup, I am getting the full potential of my GPU (330M) with a bit of a swing when it is verifying the block against the server. Not bad at all. As long as you can be trusted to distribute the coins fairly according to your established rules, you are aces with me.

[FreeMoney]

What exactly do I put in the shortcut target to connect to this server? That is how I do it right, I don't go to the site given with my browser, do I?

[tryptamine]

Looks like my miner calculated the last hash. No money yet, please, run the script!

[lysacor]

The command I used from my windows client to get things rolling for my GPU on m0m's client was:

poclbm.exe -o mining.bitcoin.cz -p 8332 --user=(username.registeredminer) --pass=(registeredminerpassword) (extra switches for m0m's client)

hope that helps.

You have to go to the website and register, and then register a miner, each miner has it's own login for the RPC server, so you have to set it up there.

Sorry, it was night here. Script performed, this is result:

Until few hours script will be periodically so rewards will go ASAp. But don't be affraid you miss any coin

Welcome! Once you have long term statistics with your miner, total reward should be the same _for longterm_, so you will be able to calculate by self after few days, if participating in cluster is profitable for you. I think ït will, because equity curve will be much cleaner and you will be able to miner more coins until next difficulty level!

Yes, you have to go to server and register. There are instructions on the site...

[Cdecker]

Just wondering, running the miners on 3 workers at 2 MHash/s each and after 24 hours I didn't get any shares? Sounds a bit odd.

Yes it is. Please send me commandlines in PM, I will help. Do you really use SEPARATE WORKER ACCOUNTS for each workers?

[slush]

To all users using email as their login: Yesterday I found a bug, when using dots in login name, getwork() result in Unknown login error. I already fixed one issue on dev environment, but I need to restart server which I will do on afternoon (after 10 hours from now in my zone). Sorry for troubles.

Why so few payouts and they don't add up to 50? Are there a lot of entrants that have a minimum amount to send set so their balance is accumulating?

[slush]

Yes, there are lot of rewards under threshold (many people set treshold to even 10-50 btc), so this is normal. Also few people have bigger reward than is currently in the wallet - don't forget that reward is counting directly when block is found, but it takes many hours until bitcoins arrived. So this is natural behaviour. Don't be affraid, everything works perfectly.

[doublec]

What's the current difficulty value for miners to get a share?

[Elanthius]

I don't really understand how to connect the miner to the pool. I'm using poclbm but I always get

C:\Bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe>poclbm.exe -o mining.bitcoin.nz --port=8332 -u Elanthius.wk033 --pass=pass -d 0
Unable to communicate with bitcoin RPC

Any suggestions?
