And to silverwolf... Still haven't got round to doing that tweaking, grrrrrr, why do I never have any time when I need it! lol... Any way donation is now set. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) How about implimenting an indicator for the donators? As they do with other pools I have seen... And I had another idea regarding the BBQ's... We need to start up a middle man service ala bitcoin. So that people can spend them, I think it would be a great boost for the coin and make it more profitable to mine. I am looking for people to join up with to start such a service... Would you be interested? Is there anyone that is interested?

Hey, I've been mining all day with 1.2 MH/s, and I've only got ~120 BQC.
I'll research that for you when I get into the office.

I just got two credits into my account for 12.43750000 each. Was that a payment mistake or what?
My name is mfngimp
Lol, there was an issue while I was upgrading the FTC pool preparing to launch it. It resulted in one FTC block being paid to the BBQ pool users (twice) because I missed changing one line in the script. I've fixed it already, but since there was enough coins in the BBQ reserve to cover the payouts I just left them in place. Call it a small bonus !

You could also proportion it by the amount of time spent actively contributing to the pool. To give the most loyal a little extra, you could also weigh it towards those who have the most hours. This could also discourage people from joining just for the contest and leaving right after. I came up with this spreadsheet to demonstrate what I mean: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FrzfaGt9.jpg&t=665&c=OGqrVYCqgf49Pg) Hopefully that makes some sense to you. That's a good idea as well. Let me think on it and I'll get started on the next contest shortly.

Hey, I've been mining all day with 1.2 MH/s, and I've only got ~120 BQC.
I'll research that for you when I get into the office. Wolf, here's what I found. I pulled the information from the database for your userId for yesterday's date (05/23/2013) During this time your hash rate varied a decent bit, and there was a period where you did not connect at all. Here's the chart : ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi42.tinypic.com%2F2uhbz8j.png&t=665&c=hox_Eic58n5bdA) Yesterday you submitted shares for 39 blocks here is the breakdown : ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi40.tinypic.com%2Fezhgdy.png&t=665&c=SPg8MkLFRhB9BQ) I've uploaded the spreadsheet that contains the raw data if you'd like to review it. You can download it here : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6PMWmOuapNuVEYtRng0enNLU0U/edit?usp=sharingBased upon what I am seeing here I would have expected you to be paid about 204 coins for yesterdays work and you were actually paid a little over 208 coins yesterday. It looks to me like you were paid correctly, I don't think you were aware that your miners were offline for approx 7 hours yesterday. Take a look at the data (it's in LibreOffice format) and let me know if you need anything else or if you see anything here that I've missed. Thanks.

My backup pool doesn't have any BQC in it either... Thanks for looking into it. Anytime man. Your internet may have gone down for a while. I know that mine does that on occasion. They can be frustratingly unreliable sometimes.

Love the pool
Love the contest even more (especially since my computer is about as fast as a Commodore 64...and it takes me a week to get 1 BBQ Coin)
Fingers crossed-hoping I win
The previous contest ended. I will be planning the next one shortly though! Stick around. This pool is great, Im getting shares faster than any other pool that I have used prior That's the reason we keep the share difficulty at 15 - 16, so that slower miners can get a fair shake at accepted shares. It also increases the load on the server so I have to keep the pool fairly small until such time as I can get Vardiff implemented. Unfortunately, Vardiff requires SERIOUS modification to all of the existing code which is why it's not implemented yet. Frankly I'd rather have smallish pools anyhow, it's easier to keep up with, you get to know the miners better, and it's better for the coin (any coin really) to have lots of small pools instead of only a few really large ones. Options are a good thing.

I've already earned almost as much mining for 8 hrs. here that I did mining for 24 hrs. at the last pool I tried lol.

Hey there, finally got down to sorting my cards out and I think they are doing okay now... Can I just post my stats and ask you to look over them for me incase something is no good... cgminer with 2 7970's Clock 950 Mem 1680 (it hasn't crashed but wondering if I may cause damage?) fan speed 75% Temps 75 Hashrate 666 (dun dun duuuuun) when pc not in use and 640 ish when in use... card 2 clock 990 mem 1664 fan speed 65% temps 76 Hashrate 692 This seems to be the best and most stable I can get it... I have no pci risers yet else I'm sure I could get those temps down some or even eek a little more out of the cards. I am getting some artifacting on screen with firefox but movies and such play fine. Do you think this is okay to leave for long periods? If anyone would like to know more about how I got this please ask. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

If you are getting artifacts you might want to turn the mem speed down a bit. Other than that it looks pretty good to me.

Okay cool, thing is I have always gotten artifacts while I'm mining, no matter which miner I use, youtube vids won't play properly either, the picture keeps freezing... Do you think more ram could solve this? I only have 4gb of system ram at the moment and I see from the task manager that I only have a small ammount free, although it says I am using 46% or something, still don't get that. Does that take into account virtual memory or something? Is there a way to turn the intensity down within cgminer or does it have to be done in the conf/.bat file? Also how come I can change a conf to a txt and then edit it but I can't change a .bat and do the same... Is there a way to edit a .bat? Oh and yeah I was gonna say, turning the mem speed down wouldn't do anything surely? Because no matter what I set the mem speed to cgminer will use it to it's fullest right? Leaving no room for anything else, only thing you could do is turn the intesity down? I used to do that in guiminer when I watched a film as I used to get screen tearing and artifacts. Turning the intensity down solved that. With cgminer though I no longer get any problems with video playback, except for online videos. I saw a thread before about using on board graphics for running the OS/GUI, do you know if that is possible? I believe there was something you could possibly do in the bios though I'm not sure.

To our miner "byltz", there is something wrong with your configuration. You are getting 74% stales/invalids.
Check your settings.

When running cgminer, press G to change the gpu settings. You can try different settings here before typing them into the configure file. They will take effect as soon as you change them but will be not be saved. The memory speed will certainly make a difference. Cgminer will run it at whatever speed you set it at, too fast and you'll get artifacts, rejects, or crashes. running your desktop off the built in graphics and just using the cards to mine is possible, but it's sometimes hard to get working properly. you can edit a bat file by right clicking it and choosing "Edit" from the menu.

There are many things which can effect payouts, but after a day or so you should be getting your full payouts regardless of where you are mining if it's PPLNS. The other pools you tried may not have fixed the bugs in the mmcFE payout logic, it's a real pain to get it right but if you don't, you'll end up overpaying some users and underpaying others. How's my pool working out for you so far ?

Silly me, didn't see the intensity option before! doh! lol... Well just had a play with both intensity (going down to 10) and mem clock speeds (going down to 1300) on the main gpu (display gpu) and nothing helps, the videos still jerk and such. The sound plays okay but image freezes and jerks. Just checked I have the latest flash and I do... As a control I disabled the gpu and youtube ran fine... This is very odd, I have not come across this problem before. The only thing I can think is a ram issue or maybe a driver issue. Grrrrrr, well I will have to live with it I guess, I so want to get a dedicated miner! lol... One day, cheers for your help any way.
