I see that worker difficulty now adjusts automatically, regardless of the difficulty set through the web interface. Has this been discussed already?

I noticed that as well. It seems to make for even larger swings from block to block on my payouts but sure it all evens out.

What has your change been like? I mean, if it has made remarkable change in payouts. Previous diff, current diff?

Like I said I think it all evens out. I am running at 14.5GHs and when I first restarted the miners I notice the worker diff was changing and running as high as 14 but is now holding steady at 8. My pay outs per block range from the .007's to .005's:

Mining proxy on strike 



What to do to get it working again?

next DIFF estimate..

SIGH! +30!

16 asics incoming! blah

Hi
Ca'nt find anywhere else to post this question, so here goes,

Why do we not have a 30 day moving avarage on Slush's Pool graph.

This would smooth out the graph and give a better guide on the reducing bitcoin payout we are going to see very soon.

[Beastlymac]

Slush you need to update your title to say 55000 ghs 

[Zubilica]

I cannot make BFGminer (2x BFL singles) connect on slush pool.

Code:

bfgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u user.worker -p pass --disable-gpu

windows 7 x64 - drivers http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

Bitminter miner works just fine.

I see that worker difficulty now adjusts automatically, regardless of the difficulty set through the web interface. Has this been discussed already?

I noticed that as well. It seems to make for even larger swings from block to block on my payouts but sure it all evens out.

What has your change been like? I mean, if it has made remarkable change in payouts. Previous diff, current diff?

Like I said I think it all evens out. I am running at 14.5GHs and when I first restarted the miners I notice the worker diff was changing and running as high as 14 but is now holding steady at 8. My pay outs per block range from the .007's to .005's:
(...)

I think diff 8 is quite good for your hashrate, isn't it?
Yes, the variance in your rewards per block is a bit higher, but Slush had to do something to preserve the pool performance and bandwidth in the current situation of increasing hashing power. I'm afraid not all ASIC users had manually set their diff accordingly...

What has your manually preset difficulty been like?

[superduh]

is there an issue with bitfury h-cards and slushs pool?

also, how come when you click or change things on the account page it never remembers the changes?!

Yes I am not complaining at all..just posted my observation. To be truthful I was only mining at 10 GHs until just a few days ago , but I still had my diff set at 1 as it still is now but I know that the pool is now adjusting  it automatically. I played around with my workers diff a couple of times but always ended up putting it back to 1. I do understand why the pool is doing it as the pool hashing rate has jumped up so much.  I have another 13 usb miners coming today so once I restart the miners again I am sure I will see the workers diff change until the miners average hash rate settles in. Not sure if this will be my last buying of the USB miners as it seems I can't not mine enough coins to keep up with it all, heck the pool is now  pushing close to 60GHs. 

[HellDiverUK]

USB miners always work at Diff 1, so I don't know why you're trying to change them...

My BF on Slash seems to be way off... 38 on my end and was 7, then 12 now 16 on pool's end.

My BF on Slash seems to be way off... 38 on my end and was 7, then 12 now 16 on pool's end.

Current round takes more than 10 hours now.
The hashing power is calculated from current round at the pool's end. So if you have started during current round, your shares submitted during your connection are divided by the whole time that has elapsed from current round start, i.e. longer than you've been submitting. The ratio converges to the correct value as the time goes, but will never reach it. In the next round, the calculation will be OK already (as long as you won't disconnect).

[gourmet]

Thats an option! You heard the man hurry up people.

So we've almost done the whole block eh?

 

[-Redacted-]

No, not nearly.  That 99.xx is the probability of finding a solution within the number of shares you've submitted - not how much of a block you've evaluated.  The block you are working on changes every time someone else finds one, or a new transaction gets picked up.  You actually don't work on solving the same block for much more than a few minutes at a time....

Unfortunately, it only goes to 99.99%.  You are never 100% assured of finding a block within a certain number of shares....

[tom99]

this blk killing us.

[macsheadroom]

I have never seen a block this long and our network hash rate so low, very frustrating.

[aurel57]

USB miners always work at Diff 1, so I don't know why you're trying to change them...

What? We are talking about the workers diff... Mine just happens to be using 43 USB miners and the pool now has the workers diff set at 9

I know ;_;.  I was just trying to make idle chat to make myself feel better -_-;;
