bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[simonk83]

pls do a search to see if you have duplicate entries in user.cfg

You know what, I reckon I probably do

EDIT:  Yup.  Duh     Thanks

Could somebody remind me why we dont hash into unitedminers? they found a block and i got my 0,54 B payout...

They do PPLN.

[rampone]

Ahhhh PLing the Sickstarr in me remembaz well, i guess i was lucky the shares didnt get voided.

[rampone]

c00w, is the your bitcoin adress right in the footer? have some tip for your jar

hoppersden invite 4me from somewhere?

[joulesbeef]

the site says this

We use the regular proportional method. We are testing and considering a Pay Per Last N Shares method to calculate payouts when a round ends if the account is flagged as a hopper. We are also considering hopper flag protection at a certain donation rate. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

which ISNT what it used to say

[simonk83]

Interesting.  Anyone had a word with them about our good old "we'll give you 1% if you leave us alone"

EDIT:   Hmmm, what's going on with polmine.  The stats just reset to zero, but apparently the current block has been running for 14 hours...

@rampone
Footer on this message is correct.

yeah polmine might be screwing with us.. they have been talking about it and we have been noticing strange stats.

also on united miners let him know here

Straight prop.
I'd be willing to donate premium percentage, so say like 2.5% to 5% to have hopping access along with a reliable API.  Tie the pool stats into a the user API, which can only be enabled after you donate a predetermined percentage.  You can then redistribute this fund to your full time miners as "additional hopper income".  I think the ~50GH/s will definitely help a pool out and also attract more miners.  Even if most hoppers leave after 43% of shares being submitted, there is still an incentive for finishing a block, because without the block being finished no one will get payed hopper or not.
http://www.digbtc.net/ DigBitcoin resurrected itself after switching back to purely prop after trying LNSMPPS.

...

I like this idea. Has this worked out for any other pools? Do hoppers think it's a good idea?

Just checked their forum (thanks to google translate) and saw this:

process restart and upgrade completed:)
«On: Today at 6:47:29»
Welcome to the miners?

after the pain, the update finished:)
we have a new soft in the mine, the server refreshes
We apologize for the inconvenience, if you temporarily unable to view our website www.


I assume that means they restarted the server and everything reset.

hey guys, seems like someone misses us on unitedminers
I could leave 1% if they were legal

Why even call it unitedminers when they decide to segregate us hoppers.

should have read further.. he wants 2.5% .. from their faq

0.0% - Basic services
1.0% - SMS/Txt Notifications enabled
2.5% - Your workers are added to the QoS zone
3.5% - Managed Rig system access

Pretty sure that is the hopper freedom zone.

I would have paid 2.5% for "QoS FREE ZONE" since being QoS'd means they are inspecting/alterning traffic from your connection whereas I would prefer being untouched like a virgin.

i'm guessing that is what he means. we are probably all in teh QOS zone, he just means he will remove us from bulk to normal access.

QOS on a network churning away at 2GH ? LMAO

With slicing is it possible to give a certain pool longer time than other pools rather than it splitting the time evenly?

I noticed slicing with MT Red and Polmine that my estimated earning are almost exactly half than if I were to use the default scheduler. BUT with pools ozco.in and triple my estimated reward is the same with sliceing as if I were to use default scheduler. So I was wondering if I spent a bit more time on mtred and polmine could I get those estimated shares back up?

[joulesbeef]

I'm not sure how slicing is done exactly. But I think we should probably give weight to mhashs.
on a really fast site, we can get barely any shares in before they hit 43% or what ever we decide the rate should be.
we could finish their ratio and be back mining with the slower slites before they got to much further down the line.
sorta like how everyone wants to jump on slush quick, because it;s rounds are so short.

way faster sites should probably get some priority, so we submit the most shares over all to both.

Yep. The slicer is is very configurable and that's why I prefer it. You can adjust it with startup parameters or on the fly with penalty options. I'm currently using:

--scheduler=AltSliceScheduler --altslicesize=100 --altminslicesize=15 --threshold=0.475

...but the slice size assigned to each pool depends upon it's distance from threshold and is therefore affected by the penalty setting. You can get any result you like.
