i.e. on My Account it might say:

13.05464409 BTC
GBP/BTC = £61.49999
GBP Balance = £802.86

Hello.
Well, this may be not the right thing to do because actually you don't have any USD or GBP on your balance.
It also means that if USD/BTC rate goes down, this USD amount will also decrease and it will look suspicious.

I'll think about it.

I realise that the rate of BTC/USD or BTC/GBP or BTC/XXX will fluctuate as with any currency rate but i still think it will be useful to see the current rate and balance at a glance. I should have said:

i.e. on My Account it might say:

13.05464409 BTC
Current GBP/BTC = £61.49999
Current GBP Balance = £802.86

maybe add a time stamp on the last 2 lines i.e.

13.05464409 BTC
Current GBP/BTC = £61.49999  31 March 2013 18:59:12
Current GBP Balance = £802.86  31 March 2013 18:59:12

Hey, I just joined the forum. Tycho, nice to see you active here. I'm impressed with your pool.

One random idea about that, perhaps you could build some code that would show

If today were January 28th:
Jan 1 Mt.Gox (Average $50) Your 13.054 BTC = $652.70
Jan 8 Mt.Gox (Average $55) Your 13.054 BTC = $717.97
Jan 15 Mt.Gox (Average $50) Your 13.054 BTC = $652.70
Jan 22 Mt.Gox (Average $45) Your 13.054 BTC = $587.43
Next estimate Jan 29th

The idea here is that perhaps deepbit, or the gui client would do a MtGox API pull once a day to get the average value, and store that (either every 7 days, or each 1 day) and show the last 4 values. This way if I log in tomorrow and BTC exchange has dropped, I'll still see the number that it was estimated at yesterday.

Just one idea that might spark another idea.
A question though, I've been getting disconnected a lot. I'm new, and I"m using GUIMiner v2012-12-03 downloaded a day or two ago, and it keeps timing out for long pole IO error, then eventually I get a server error for trying to reconnect to the long pole too fast.

I prefer this continuation of my suggestion. Your thoughts Tycho?

I would use the following command line miner instead of the GUI miner:

There may be either some bug in GUIminer that causes it to reconnect or something between you and the pool that breaks the connection. Please PM me your account name so I can check the logs at my side.

P.S.: It's "long poll", not "long pole".

@Tycho

Whilst you are online I thought I would ask if the MH/s rate for each worker on the My Account page is working? It says n/a for each of my workers.

Okay thanks. Sent you a PM. And, sorry for the typo.

Hello All,

I am just getting started and joined the deepbit pool recently.  I have a modest machine with two AMD Radeon HD 6900 series cards.  I was able to install the guiminer but was getting really low speeds, I was in the process of trying to fix it but now I cant get the guiminer to reinstall.  I downloaded the guiminer 20121203 version but I'm getting this error

ERROR:root:Exception:

Hey Old 49er u got the latest AMD drivers and ... the AMD SDK thing? Sorry its been a while since I setup (and just use phoenix miner now anyway?)

Question for the forum / staff though... specifically in regards to the deepbit mining pool.

I recently hit my first threshold for payment which was for .1 BTC... there is a record of it happening on my account just wondered if there is a typical time they go out or waiting period? Haven't seen it come through yet been 3 hours. I apologize for my impatience but I looked around for this answer and couldn't find it. Thank you.

[lysernix]

...and it came through ok. Just need an additional hour 

Thanks for the great pool. I actually left another one which seemed to be going south to come here. Looking forward to many mining adventures together.

I sent you a pm but you should also install this:

I recently came back to bitcoin mining after a long hiatus, but I closed the email account I used to register with deepbit a while back, and my wallet linked to that account also no longer exists. I have all of the deepbit login details and would like to go back to mining, but I can't change wallets as deepbit sends a confirmation email to a closed email that someone else has registered in the meantime.

I sent a couple of emails to tycho@deepbit.net and pool@deepbit.net yesterday but haven't heard back. I'm not allowed to send PMs yet either. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

Hello,

I set up my first test miner on the DeepBit pool a couple of days ago.

It's a lousy old GPU that can't even churn out 100MH, but it's enough to aid me through my learning process.

To the point: I've received a couple of minor auto-payments and the last one is sitting unconfirmed for quite a while. Is this normal? Have others experienced huge confirmation delays?

The receiving node is 1BgftNug4HRCvVUeaTjJtNjP1EiGKVKgHe

Thank you

Since your e-mail is no longer exists, can you just create a new account with a new e-mail ?

Usually our payments are confirmed by pool's own blocks, so sometimes it may take longer than usual.
Don't worry, no payments will be lost if your address is correct.

Also it's not a "node", it's address :)

Normally I wouldn't mind but I have bitcoins in there that are now worth something, it looks like. Can you transfer the balance to a new account if I register one?

I have the same issue.

Funny thing is I receive the smaller amount.

03/30/2013
04/03/2013

however I do not receive the amount on the following date:

04/02/2013


my address:  1pk3XQf9bSKEoxK8UtdiZNy6ZFm8E239U

Please check the status of your transaction on blockexplorer AND blockchain.info sites.
I'm sure that it was issued correctly, but today we had very small number of blocks mined, so this is probably the cause for delay because usually our transactions are confirmed by our blocks.
You should get confirmations when new blocks will be mined by Deepbit.
Sorry about this.

Can you check this ? https://blockexplorer.com/tx/94025ebf3c2b691f91c110fcfc180f2467eb603a57671f2eea39eeb03cc37dae
The btc was withdrawn from my account but the transaction seems non existent.

This link shows that your TX was already confirmed.
Also blockexplorer can only show confirmed transactions.
