Payout for round 18879 seems really low for me (50%)... :/

18879 seems fine to me buy 18882 is about 1/2 of normal

18882 seems like a problem:

18882 is about 5% only of usual payout for me, too.

[EasyQuest]

Seems mine is a little too high

Probably recalculate like the others.

Quick question -- I am using phoenix 2 which I got working properly yesterday. However it seems unable to connect on the stratum URL, and always goes back to the api2 URL as "backup", but the "my account" page hasn't shown any change in the past day despite the miner running at ~950 Mhash/h for the past 15 hours or so... is this normal? 

Unless something has changed recently, phoenix doesn't do stratum.  Either use the stratum proxy, or use cgminer like the rest of the planet.

Hi All
Anyone else noticed a low payout on 244238/18882 ?  About 15% of normal here...

Well, that would explain that. I'd love to use cgminer but it crashes on startup for me every time.

anyways, i appreciate the advice.  keep up the fantastic work at BTCGuild.

Are you sure you posted in your intended pool's thread?

yes he did. We were visited.

Tried it with AMD 12.6 drivers? I had same problem with 13.xxx?

Corrected OK now

[eltopo71]

Well, the proxy seems to work... just getting to this point was a bit of a pain so I'll stick with that for now.

[n0creativity]

....

He might be trying the how-to of this recent post: 

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=162788.0

yes.  this is exactly what i'm intending to do.

Any plans on opening your "private pool" to others (aka creating a new pool)?

[n0creativity]

happy diff increase everyone!
21335329  woohooo!
21th/s yum!

Anyone know why blockchain.info doesnt show the diff increase yet?

maybe the block it changed in hasn't gotten to their display yet? they seem to be a few blocks behind usually. at least it looks that way to me.

I watched the diff listed on https://blockchain.info/stats on Saturday and it slowly increased until it got to the current diff listed on Slush (21335329).  Based on that, am I correct to assume that blockchain.info is calculating the diff?  Does anyone here know how the diff changes are relayed over the BTC network so that nodes are aware of what the current diff is?

[bspurloc]

almost time to fix the subject by swapping the 1 and 2!

from

OmG!

Not sure if it's useful at this point, but I've had a lot of trouble with the newer versions of cgminer as well- however I'm chugging merrily along with ver 3.0.1.

[blackice]

Dear Slush,

Thank-you for runnig a fair, effectively implemented, secure, stable pool.  It is a pleasure to mine here, secure in the knowledge that you are ever vigilant, a technical wizard, the leader in bitcoin stratum technology, and a fellow miner.

[n0creativity]

Thank God that 7 hours is done... here's hoping for some quick ones.

[trasla]

Based on that, am I correct to assume that blockchain.info is calculating the diff? 
Does anyone here know how the diff changes are relayed over the BTC network so that nodes are aware of what the current diff is?

There is no single entity to calculate and propagate the diff.
Each node can calculate on its own, and will accept only blocks meeting the difficulty.
Blocks are time-stamped by the one who mines the block. Average network time is communicated between nodes, and blocks with a timestamp differing more than 3 hours from network average are not accepted.
Every 2016 blocks, timestamp of first and last of those blocks are compared to calculate average time per block for that diff-round.
The difficulty is then adjusted in such a way that new difficulty would have caused an average time per block of exactly 10 minutes for the last 2016 blocks.
Since every node works on the same chain of blocks with same timestamps and does the same calculations, the new diff calculated by all nodes will be the same.

Any chance of running a Litecoin pool, too, slush?  That'd make me a very happy camper.

I want to get into litecoins, so that would be cool.

yes, Slush, what about running a litecoin pool for retired GPU miners?

[goatmonkey]

wemineltc.com is what I switched my GPUs to. Good payouts so far, especially with the value of LTC right now.
