I am getting intermittent errors while using m0mchil's miner with the pool on win7-64:

Code:

Those are both from approximately around the same time, but each one occurred on its own graphics card (I am running 2 nvidia gtx 275 cards). It seems that they occur very chronologically close to one another. Further, it either occurs on only one card, or it happens on both of them, one within a few seconds of the other.

Here is another example, each paste is from a miner running on its own gpu:

I just answered your question in poclbm thread. This is just cosmetic bug of poclbm and is related mainly to today's server upgrade; this should appear much less often in normal pool condition.

Any news on when registration will be open again? I have a friend that wants to get in on the action.

When the pushwork will be in production.

How do reboots of your puter,  restarts of mining effect ?

How do reboots of your puter,  restarts of mining effect ?

You disconnect from the pool. When your computer starts again, you can reconnect. You take the risk of submitting work at the time when the pool finds a block, thereby reducing your payout via the score system.

Thought that was the case
been working on one puter
guess i just take the loss with all the reboots
At least I got it starting on reboots now

[bobR]

You could set up variables in that bat file to handle passwd login etc
if you ever change those  would be only one change at the top instead of in 3-4 places in

I was getting tired of typing the long lines of code evertime i wanted to start Poclbm or Rpcminer-cpu, so i made a startup menu for them



Just put Poclbm en rpcminer-cpu in the same directory and define the right directory and username.workername in the Startminers.bat

Save this code as StartMiners.bat
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
REM 1. Put both programs in one directory
REM 2. Adjust the directory for right program directory at rule 25
REM 3. Adjust the account and password names for both miners at rule 27 to 30
REM 4. Save as startminers.bat
cls

Yes your right, but you can change it to whatever you need, all ideas are welcome for next version

How does this work with 3 servers

Think i got the new method part
smaller payout but more of them = the same daily profit

There is one main server with Nginx reverse proxy on it. Using "upstream" module to handle traffic to more backend pool instances.

Yikes, the server acting crazy weird right now, just got about 15 of these in the last 10 min.

Because I had to restart main server.

[slush]

Thanks to little mistake, registration was accidentaly open for last few hours. I fixed it now and disabled all user accounts registered inside this window. Please understand that server capacity is full for now.

[JA37]

Can I still add workers? Or do I have to substitute an old cpu worker if I manage to get a gpu working?

[wizearse]

So you just fucked my out of the the last 5 hours of work my computer was doing.

[slush]

I set up send threshold to 0.01 for all blocked accounts, so when your rewards will be confirmed, you receive them into your wallets.

[myrkul]

I'm curious... How did he do that?

[VastLite]

Slush was actually very nice in the handling of disabled accounts. I had accumulated about 0.45 BTC and once the blocks are verified, it will be transferred to my account. No one was screwed out of anything, and hopefully once this is all back up and running, we can all generate more BTC.

[mtndew]

i suppose i registered an account on mining.bitcoin.cz during the period where slush hadn't intended for registration to be open. in any case, i left my computer running over night, and when i went to check it this afternooni noticed that i was having trouble connecting and my threshold was set to the amount you had for blocked accounts.

i guess i'll have to wait until i get unblocked. in the meantime can anybody recommend a pool that function's as well as slush's does? thanks guys!

[koiwai]

Yeah, is there any other open pools that are good?  Also, I am a beginner (total beginner) to this, is there any guide to how to join a mining pool that doesn't assume you know how to do more advanced stuff?  If Bitcoins are going to be used by a large population, there has to be simple guides.  I'd call myself more advanced in terms of tech than most, but I'm no expert.
