How comes BTC are only 3 times bigger, yet find a massive order of magnitude more blocks more regularly?
Variance is big, even for large pools. Also...your data from BTC Guild is significantly out of order. BTC Guild's average block solve time is ~30-45 minutes. Slush's is ~2 hours (doing rough math). That is *average* time. Both pools have rounds lasting seconds/a few minutes, or multiple hours. Slush for the last month has averaged about 1:23:04 per block. The last 14 days has been about 1:25:09. Just FYI; I keep track.  |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

That's my third low block today. First one got fixed just before confirmation; second on is height 249854, although that one may have seen some downtime on my miners. Either way, bummer to see 3x in one day.

Variance is big, even for large pools. Also...your data from BTC Guild is significantly out of order.
How is it out of order? The times are in the order when the blocks finish. I looked over the last 100 blocks and there was only 1 block out of 100 that took over 1 hour to be found. So the variance seems very small to me - they have multiple blocks finishing per hour all day long. |

So the variance seems very small to me - they have multiple blocks finishing per hour all day long. It looks like you clicked the date/time column to sort for your copy+paste. The sorting on the column isn't aware of context (notice the switching between AM and PM on the timestamps). Sort by block ID to get the proper order. BTC Guild has long blocks daily (I would know, I run it). The difference is, a LONG block for BTC Guild is ~2 hours. An abnormally unlucky round (something you would only expect to see every 500-1000 blocks) would be 4 hours. |

my score reset right before 19425 ended, hoping that one and 19421 both get a recalc before they are confirmed.

hmmm 19425 fixed and normal for me now.
wonder what is up with 19421. I'd almost say it was just my own bad luck (variance) but so many other people also posted about it. oh well, i'm not ganna sweat about 1 round being a bit low.
19419 was invalid tho? just noticed this. super bummer. i had a pretty nice reward on that one too lol

Same here for #19421, only 60% of average reward per round and my connection to pool for that round should be same as usual. 19421 2013-08-03 01:52:48 7:09:54 160946644 265926 0.02419936 249905 25.17464593 43 confirmations left |

I take it you have USB Eruptors? what kind of hub are you using? Port 9 is way off...if the power supply is right and cooling I only see less than 1% error on mine. So all yours seem to have a high error rate and like I said port 9 is way off. I also hope #19421 gets fixed. |

Rookie question:
I have 9 of the Block Erupter USB sticks hashing all on the same rig, which averages about 3 Gh/s. Should I set the difficulty for the worker to 2, since the total hashing power is over 2 Gh/s, or should I keep it at one, since each stick only has 335 Mh/s of power?
Keep at 1, else endless discarded. ? I've always believed that the rig should behave like one worker with combined power. Is there any reason for discarded shares other than bad configuration/setting? |
