I'm just wondering why I have been getting 1.4btc every week (for about 2 or 3 weeks now) and now this week, come monday, I'll only have about .3btc gained. Did something go horribly wrong?
In short: yes, but I'd be shocked if it's *quite* as bad as your comment indicates. bitcoinpool started fabricating their stats, which totally screwed up the hopping for several days, causing us to mine a *lot* at bad times on that pool. There was also a difficulty increase early last week that contributed some to this. They've been kicked out; I do apologize for the trouble this caused everyone, but there wasn't really anything I could do to counter this =/ Now for some good news.... *drumroll* bitcoins-lc shares have been processed! This week's payment has been sent out! I also added eligius back in with a fixed utility of 1.0 to serve as a backup for when hopping on all the proportional pools has a low expected payout. This should (help) prevent any future efficiency from going below 1. Multiclone's hashrate has been wayyyyyy down this week, probably as a result of the bitcoinpool thing. It's resolved now, so let's get this party started again!

Deebit being gone probably contributed a portion to that. It was the most efficient pool.
I still see solo shares after some eligus shares; is that a glitch and should go away?

There will still be a small handful of solo shares, just due to how multipool's queue works. I've tried removing solo at various points and stability suffers. If a given miner is being 'bad' (lots of stales in a row with no good shares, or newly connected), it will also receive some extra solo shares so that the 'real' pools don't get mad for multiclone requesting way more work than we submit good shares. Overall, solo looks to be accounting for <4% of the global share rate. With a ~20% increase in earned BTC, it's still definitely worthwhile.

Whoever is address "1D1ugDJrrifR7WG3TaU1w71yF2wiXmAGqC", something looks to be screwed up in your miner config. I see a ton of connections from you that keep opening longpoll connections, but rarely request or submit any work.
Yesterday, it looks like you were mining okay-ish (barely; you were only submitting shares for about half of the getworks requested) with a 1-2 Ghash. Today, the log is just getting spammed with longpoll requests; looks like you're maintaining ~80 open connections, but are hardly submitting any work. Each time a new longpoll comes out, trying to handle all your connections is causing brief idles for everyone else.
I've temporarily blocked your access to multiclone due to the problems your miners are causing everyone else. Please PM me when you think you have it fixed and I'll re-enable you.

Just to be fair, those missing 3K arrived with last payout.

What are you calling 'a lot'? global rate for past ~day is around 3.5%, which is certainly higher than normal, but not ridiculously high. I think it's likely due to the problem user my previous post describes.

Ah right, I'd forgotten about that. And you seem to be the only one with that particular quirky problem. I'll pay you out manually in the next day or two.

What are you calling 'a lot'? global rate for past ~day is around 3.5%, which is certainly higher than normal, but not ridiculously high. I think it's likely due to the problem user my previous post describes. Well, I'm using Smartcoin and it was failing over to a different pool due to stales/rejected being above 10%. I can't say for sure what the numbers were. I will try again. Edit: Just mined for a little over 20 minutes and got this: Grand Total : [1049.11 MHash/sec] [308 Accepted] [35 Rejected] [11.363% Rejected]

Unfortunate side effect of this seems to be increased stales. I put the work queue back where it was before. Give it a shot again, and things should be back to how they were before?

Grand Total : [1049.77 MHash/sec] [164 Accepted] [16 Rejected] [9.756% Rejected] This integration of the solo pool as a backup (with blocking calls! one malfunction and everything is borked!) causes more trouble than anything else... My local bitcoind flaked out and needed restarted, so the pool crashed for about 30 minutes just a little bit ago. Have a couple different longpoll push mechanisms to try that can hopefully fix the stales issue.

Fixed. Divide-by-zero error crashed the website. Only the coolest of the cool can divide by zero. Also, what happens when the solo gets a block? Is it just distributed among you and us?
