slush: for some reason today's "system daily reward" results were graphed at linux epoch time, at new year's 1970, skewing the graph like crazy. Just thought I'd let you know.

I tried to reproduce this, and found that my script was messing up all the graphs. I fixed the problem and released a new version, so now you can  see the epoch time problem too if you are running my script.

I am also getting it in windows 7

Also please add version no. to ur script, it will help to know which version installed.

My (pending) reward on Block 1834 is "0E-8".  Not none, but 0E-8.
Something wrong with the score-based system?

(this is on the http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/ page)

[slush]

I did small mistake during update yesterday, I'll fix it today.

0E-8 is (not clear) notation of zero, your reward from this block is probably such small that it is rounded to zero (on 8 decimal place). It can happen when you submitted share on the beginning on such long round.

[slush]

OK, it was very easy, graph is fixed.

[Fiyasko]

What the heck. Here it is: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98553

cool!

I don't use the pool any more, but still I love this.

I noticed a problem, though (chrome): changing any of the settings (except reload) reloads the page. so far so good. unfortunately after the reload, the setting is back to default value and not active (can't see mhash/s, for example)

Can I fix this somehow?

sooooo if you dont use the pool anymore...... may i have your login for the pool!?

Maybe we should bias the score system a little bit?  Something like exp( (alpha + round_time) /C) with a small alpha?
I got some 0E-8,  2E-8 or 3.1E-7... these are discouraging .

I'm assuming this means you're reopening signup soon?

If not: would you be opposed to me lending my account to someone?

[slush]

Yes, I'll open registration today.

Before few minutes I finished important migration of data structures to new version. It is first stage in push based pool, which is in progress. During this stage I also did some performance tests of current pool. I found that because of improvements in miners (for example HTTP keep-alive) and also because many CPU users disconnected (probably because rising difficulty), there is plenty of free space available. Pool is currently running on ~30% of his capacity. Althought pool core is still 'getwork' based, I decided to open registration again to allow new users join to us.


Thanks to recent update, there are also new features and minor improvements:

• I removed "donations" select box. Thanks to all people for previous pool support with higher than (necessary) 2% donations, but now everybody has fixed fee 2%.
• I removed all database locks from calculating rewards. This means there won't be any RPC errors on new round beginning anymore. Round processing is now asynchronous; processing take less than 5 minutes after block is found. In meantime, you will see placeholder on stats page. Your 'unconfirmed reward' for the block will appear on profile page after processing finish.
• Hashmeter and getwork/s meter is fixed, no duplicated values (200+ Ghash/s) any more.
• I added pager on the worker list. This should improve user experience for people with plenty of workers.
• Times in graphs are all in UTC. This fix an issue where dates in legend and in popup differs. Dates in your local time will come soon.

Edit: I broke "active workers" stats, I'll fix it soon.

The 2% donation is better than the other pool's 3% donation. We have competition!

[bombo999]

however, 2% is also > 0

We do not force donations on bitcoinpool.com.  That's a big 0%.

For how much time will be the 0%  ?

Q: What happens if we solve a block with transaction fees on it? [TOP]

We keep them. Transaction fees are generally fairly small, and since we don't charge donations, we feel it's a small sacrifice to make in order to keep things Free™

Let's discuss about bitcoinpool.org on it's own thread, thank you.

Btw you can use fairuser's miner with my pool too. It is m0mchil's miner with few bullshits around. Then you can achieve the same 'high efficiency' also with my pool. But I don't recommend this to anybody not because I'm jealous to fairuser's pool, but simply because it is bad for YOU and using this modified miner, you are shooting to your leg. It is mathematically approved.

Hello just wanted to say I have a new respect for all pool operators.  I was going to say this in fairusers thread when you said people have DDoSed your server before but figured they may not like that since that was their pool thread so thanked them separately.
