I do not see any problems with that. Those who slow to submit work are late for dinner.
Then most CPU's are going to be starving. And I thought the pool would be the only way to go with a CPU......I guess CPU's will get the short end of the stick on this one. |

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I think you didn't get the point of the last update. This change does not affect calculating rewards in any way, because everybody has the same probability to hit 'stale' share. It only affect absolute numbers of shares in round, there will be ~1% less shares per round (in global and also per worker). |

Your new system is totally fair in terms of expected value. You might want to increase the number of shares, this will reduce the variance for the CPU miners.

Have you introduced some problem with the distribution of work? The probability of finding so few blocks over the last 20 hours is about 10^-5 ...

It is weird, but I don't see any troubles on the pool side. We already had days where only few blocks were found. |

I feel something is not right too, the average durations of finding a block has DRASTICALLY increased in the last 24 hours. I hope it's only my paranoid. |

Yes, looks like we had hard times in previous 20 hours. Hope it is behind us :-). |

What about the fees "earned" by a found block? Are these collected solely by the coordinator of the mining server, or are these sent to the miners, split according to their shares for this block?

I feel like you should have a bigger FAQ so you don't have to repost answers  . |

Forgive me if I sound rude, but as far as I understand, all the transaction fees that went trough the blocks the community participated in creating trough you servers, end up to you, am I right?

I understand, thanks for the prompt answer and keep up the good work! I'll be pariticipating myself, I'm doing about 40Mhashes/sec, hehe |

Hi, I'm connecting to the pool through Tor. What's to stop a tor exit node sniffing my data, and claiming my shares for itself? Can the bitcoin getwork() interface be encrypted? Just to let you know, it hasn't happened yet I think. I did lose one share yesterday, but it might be network latency.

BTW, what reason to run miner (SIC! nor bitcoin, nor bitcoind) trough Tor?

Just to let you know, it hasn't happened yet I think. I did lose one share yesterday, but it might be network latency. You'd have to be really unlucky, it would be more lucrative to just replace all ads on the Webpages you visit with it's own The Tor Proxy would have to be custom coded to intercept your pool communication and we're far from being big enough for it to pay for the hack. |
