why block subsidy go down to 11k and then go back to 17k today?

The subsidy is linked to the block difficulty.

Nobody is talking (again) about the lack of found blocks. The average is 9.6 minutes instead of the intended 7 minutes, that is, around 150 blocks are found per day instead of ~205.

Here are the stats for the previous 7 days:

Sep 11: 7026-7201 (175)
Sep 12: 7202-7354 (152)
Sep 13: 7355-7503 (148)
Sep 14: 7504-7654 (150)
Sep 15: 7655-7805 (150)
Sep 16: 7806-7952 (146)
Sep 17: 7953-8105 (152)

So there was a noticable increase shortly after the F7000 (although still not enough), but then it went back to the slower block time.

I speculate this issue is closely related to a lot of other issues, so when one of the other issues is fixed, this may be fixed with it, or vice versa.

Do you think this could have something to do with the block difficulties?  One of the blocks was 8000 difficulty and a couple 6000.  The other thing is that I have noticed is that over the weekend (according to the about page on the pool) the pool load was less than 9%,  and then there was a lot of down time on the pool.  Maybe it played a role.

I have a question for you clever people.  I have noticed that no matter how my hashes per second reflects on the pool, my rewards stay more or less the same.  So on 2500 hashes i get the same amount as 5000 hashes. Same amount of threads of course. Any ideas?

tested 2 machines both of on linux ubuntu 16.04

intel 10core = 55449.04   27298.84   63shares

and

intel     2core= 15218.15   35055.84   81shares

   this is enigma for me that 2core shit is better like hardcore 10core

edit:// POOL IS DOWN

Pool is up, but I came in this morning and had flashing red alerts on 7 IPs, so I had to re-enable the anti-ddos; what is your IP?  I need to monitor your traffic.

[bible_pay]

I don't care about the lower hashrate/payouts, but it's not really "fair" when linux get 2x hashrate on the same hardware. Just wanted to know why

Guys-  Its not getting ignored- we were moving like a steamroller until F7000 hit, and the issue is things have to be prioritized.

Its a higher priority to address Prod issues than "hashrate" issues.

Now it appears the pool is running again without issues so now I can take a look at the hash rate issues across OS.

The pool is storing the OS flavor per miner now, so I should be able to go in and write a report of average speed per OS flavor.

I do see that windows appears to hash at a much slower rate than linux for some reason.
Im seeing 34,000 HPS on my vultr-debian vs 4,000 on my dual CPU xeon windows web server.  Quite a disparity there.  Definitely unintentional from our engineering standpoint.

bible_pay: Does Vultr allow a box to run such a high CPU process? Are you running your Vultr box as hard as it can?

No- Im renting a 4 Proc/4core debian box from them, 2.4ghz cores, no overclocking.

[bible_pay]

** XEON (MINI) UPDATE **

This does Not completely fix xeon but sheds a little more light on the issue:
Windows Servers:  Running xeon biblepay-64 bit yields only 8000 HPS (less than a laptop)
Windows Servers:  Running xeon bible-32bit:  Yields 13,000 HPS (almost double) - IE approximately 65% of the computing power of the box.

So hopefully this gives you all a little improvement while I figure out the rest of the story.  Im going to install windows7 on my xeon server and see if the OS multitasking has any effect on the xeon as my win7 desktop is pulling 11,000 hps and its a few years old.

Does anyone have a xeon multiproc machine running linux?  That would also help us compare linux over windows with the xeon as the proc.

BIBLEPAY  PM sent with my IPs thx

my INTEL is Xeon® 4114 10core/20threads = 55449.04   27298.84   63shares  on UBUNTU 16.04

is that result enough for 10core? 

[jamie1989]

@biblepay

Is there anyway you could add a check for software updates, as i know a couple of people who dont use this forum.

[bible_pay]

Maybe- Im checking that too.  I certainly see a similar net result, but, I dont see any errors in measurements in the code, so Ill keep checking.  Either way, the xeon multiprocessor is performing horribly.

I've got one Linux running and five running on Win 7.  All are identical except for the Linux is on a USB drive.  All are running single processor Xeon chips.  Linux shows with genmininginfo 49K, but it basically pulls 25K.  Windows shows 15K but pulls low 25K.  So the question becomes why does Linux show so high when it really doesn't perform at those levels.  Not saying it SHOULD be performing at that level, I'd say the chip is a 22-24K chip on high gen proc, but why does it show basically double what it really does while Windows shows a bit better than half what it really does?

I think we can figure this out on the pool now, I can add two performance counters to the about page measuring reported HPS/Solved Shares per OS flavor.  Check back in 8 hours and then we can look at them.

I believe your e3-1270v6 does not has same linux OS and version compared to your other linux machines, right?

Usually ctx problem is the openssl issue, your e3-1270v6 may has lower linux OS version compared to others if I'm not mistaken. If yes, then you can install new openssl version to your e3-1270v6, or re-install it with newer linux OS version to save the hassle.

[seasonw]

I noticed the block rewards are getting lesser and lesser, latest block reward is 11k only...

[haladez]

I still don't understand one thing, if HPS is used for pool payouts (as is displayed in the block distribution page), what purpose does HPS2 have and why is the leaderboard sorted by HPS2 by default?

I know HPS2 has something to do with shares submitted and luck, but is it used in the pool calculation for payouts or not? If it is used, then why is it not displayed in the block distribution page and HPS is displayed instead?

HPS2 is used for pool payouts, that's why the leaderboard is sorted by it.

My HPS varies a lot from my HPS2 and is usually completely wrong.
HPS2 is at 37k right now while my HPS is only 2.5k (yesterday it was around 19k)

yeah, it's proxmox.
I will try some ubuntu i CT install
this should be better option

C-cex wallet still in maintenance, and 24 volume so small because of that.. i am not sure but this brings kind of bad image.

[tiras]

I wonder what kind of info the wallet is sending back to the pool in addition to the the OS name and  IP  ?

Bible_pay ,  can you provide any details please ?

@Tiras, we need to start asking people on the forum to volunteer for things so we can start up a slack group.  I am the last resort.

I'm going to notify them soon to bring it from maintenance.  I'm just about ready to check the logs to ensure the error is no longer present.

I'm trying to get out from under a pile of work but it is my goal to become familiar with the github source so I can contribute. When I do, does the project just follow typical github fork/pr contribution pattern?

Yes, I will fork the repo to have a staging/testnet branch, then you can push some stuff over there, and we will come up with a system to promote code to Prod (master). 

I should be able to send out Slack invites for developers within 10 days.  I started a BiblePay slack team.  Id like to have about 10 devs so we can split up the work with people who are really passionate about this and their own personal preference, such as Gui, back-end, systems, bitcoin-merges, etc.
