Welcome back, Avalon? =D

Probably came from Slush's.  Seems they lost a heap of hashing power due to a few blips in the matrix.

Why did I enter the payout queue with only about .09 BTC balance? I've been mining constantly, so it's not the 7 day timeout.

Why did I enter the payout queue with only about .09 BTC balance? I've been mining constantly, so it's not the 7 day timeout.

This is actually a result of the yet only known unresolved issue with my payout queue setup that I've not had a chance to address yet, related to using transaction fees towards payouts.  I've responded to a few other posts related to this before.

You entered the payout queue normally when you reached 100 TBC, and you were in the list of payouts for the block.  But, you were the last one on the list and thus were not paid fully, and part of your balance remained unpaid at the pool.

I've been trying to come up with a way to address this that doesn't "waste" generated coins by sending them to the pool wallet.

Sorry about that.  I will put working a solution to this higher on my TODO.

Hi wk! Excellent work going on here. Thanks for your continued efforts on THE best BTC pool.

Question - how can we log into Eligius site to review order status in the store? Placed an order for a few of the Eligius USB Erupters with Canary. Order confirmation page gives link to check order status, but requires authentication to access the page.

How can one log on to access this? I don't see anywhere on the site? 

Followed up with Canary via dm, but curious to log on anyway... advice?

Thanks!

The whole storefront thing is very much still a work-in-progress.
We just wanted to get it online ASAP since Canary has stock to sell
Unfortunately, it may be a few weeks before all the functionality works right, as Gateway is pretty busy with some paid work lately.

[ronin4bits]

Understood, Luke-Jr. Thanks for the quick response. Certainly no complaints from me. I'm just glad knowing I wasn't missing anything. 

Canary has already responded to my pm on the orders, so everything is in great shape.

Thanks!

Quick question about this pool. I have a variety of miners with vastly different speeds (e.g. an Avalon that does 82 GH/s and a FPGA that does 850 MH/s and a few machines in between).

Since this pool doesn't really have the concept of "workers" should I use a different bitcoin address for each machine.

I think this might be necessary because I'm guess the pool dynamically adjusts the difficulty of the shares. This would make the shares for the FPGA way too difficult if they all share the same account (bitcoin address).

But the FPGA, if running on its own address will take weeks just to get a payout. Also, it's difficult for statistics purposes.

What do people who have multiple miners do for this pool?

[Luke-Jr]

Since this pool doesn't really have the concept of "workers" should I use a different bitcoin address for each machine.

You can use ADDRESS_WORKERNAME to setup workers.
It doesn't matter either way from the pool's perspective, though.

I think this might be necessary because I'm guess the pool dynamically adjusts the difficulty of the shares. This would make the shares for the FPGA way too difficult if they all share the same account (bitcoin address).

Doesn't matter, since they'd all be one collective.
It might make for poor statistics locally, but that's it.
If you don't like that, use a different worker on the same address.

Anyone having issues with Unpaid Balance and Shelved Shares status not updating? Hashrate Graph appears to be updating though.

Just checking, thanks.

EDIT: Oh, it might be the 16+ hour block from hell.

Finally now we can move on to the next block...

Luke,

It is possible to see per worker stats (assuming ADDRESS_WORKERNAME is used) ?
Or this is helpful only if you want worker dependent dynamically adjusted difficulty of the shares...

Hello,

Is it possible to switch on stratum for xg3mjrqqxal4i5g7.onion?

Hello,

Is it possible to switch on stratum for xg3mjrqqxal4i5g7.onion?

It should already be available.

Of course. Makes sense for a pool to prevent ICMP flooding. My bad, for some reason I thought I had pinged it before.

[kingcoin]

BTW is there a similar simple method (telnet/netcat) to test that a  stratum server is responding?
