our 18 Ghash hopper has returned...

Man... tough week for the BTC for our pool, if only we could switch the NMC and BTC found blocks around

This.
Oh well, look at the bright side, chances are we wont have a week this bad again for a long time :p.

Lol, I like your optimism!  Thats a good way to look at it... just getting our bad weeks over with early so its nothing but good ones from here on out   

All we need is for Bitcoin to start taking luck into account to help those that are short on it   

[jake262144]

What did you break Doc? You were supposed to run the pool server with --blocks=fast and --double-blocks, not with --blocks=ultra-slow  

[ZodiacDragon84]

Docs got fast and super fast going, but going to Namecoin instead...lol. Just port it over to the bitcoin block now!

What's the chance of three > 95% CDF blocks in a row? :-(

I don't believe there is a bug.  I've mined solo for long enough to be calm in cases like this.  Between Christmas and New year 2010 my 5970 found 0 blocks at 700 Mhash/s, while a friend mining 1.8 Mhash/s on the CPU of a laptop found 2 blocks in 2 days.  A short time after I found four blocks in less than 24 hours.  Sometime around then I found two blocks with only one block between.  Randomness is terribly unpredictable.

  Randomness is terribly unpredictable.

That's part of the fun!

I find that hard to believe.

Now I don't feel so bad, I have been on this pool only for the last two

Stick around, we usually do way better than this. Usually 1 or more blocks a day.

You couldnt have started at a worse time:

At least we are piling up namecoins lol.

[malavita]

True, but this pool seems very nice and at least I won't lose out to hoppers since I mine 24/7   BTW, what do you do with NMCs? Don't see much demand for them.

[P4man]

I used to trade my NMCs on BTC-E, but they no longer seem to accept NMC deposits, so Im just piling them up and will donate them to the pool once we have feature that allows that. Then its Docs problem .

[marks1976]

If you use cryptoxchange they have NMC features to buy sell and trade nmc for usd or BTC.

I sell them weekly over here. It only gets me about .10 BTC a week 

[malavita]

Cool - thx!

[Finny]

Or you can hoard them in hopes they end up being worth more...

PS. WTF BLOCK??!?

[matthewh3]

Where do you find the instructions for joining using hashkill?  Also do you still have 0% fees and share the transaction fees?

[DeathAndTaxes]

Has anyone else been noticing rejects due to duplicate work?  Never seen them before and now I get a whole bunch

Just recently upgraded to cgminer 2.2.5 so maybe that has something to do with it
