Words cannot adequately describe how much I love this pool And sometime next week, I can finally pull out of my number 50 spot on the top 50, and into maybe the top 30 with the addition of my 2 5870s!

Are you sure it isn't your local network...  I am not seeing any issue.  No idled cards, not even any slow pool notifications.

[P4man]

No probs here either.. check our avatars. The website has been slow today tho

[SgtMoth]

must have been

[DrHaribo]

I saw unstable network 05:17-05:34 and 07:30-07:33 (CET timezone). Sometimes GPUs idling and sometimes working but with slow network warnings. Maybe this coincides with your log but different timezone.

Sorry for this.

I have noticed sometimes that the server loses network connectivity for 2-3 seconds at a time. And now it seems the network was very unstable for several minutes at a time. Also there was the time a couple months back when the data center's routers were hacked and they were off the internet for several hours. I was planning to move to a new server and data center in a few weeks. But I may have to move sooner if things get worse.

Also, can someone please finish this block?

[Turbor]

[DeathAndTaxes]

Man this block never ends.

DrHaribo why does the block page only show blocks from 280 onward?  For historical reasons (like have we ever had a worse block? which I don't think so BTW) it would be nice to be able to look back to block 1.

[DrHaribo]

I know. I will make it possible to see older blocks. That's been on my list a long time.

[DrHaribo]

By the way, you can see the luck of all the blocks at https://bitminter.com/stats/luck


Looks like 98.0% CDF is the worst we've had. At the time I write this the current block is 97.93% CDF. Could become a new record for bad luck.

[Geir]

And we have a new record

[rjk]

BLOCK!

[Turbor]

 

[P4man]

The litecoin pool-x have a system that I dont quite know the details about, but they give a bonus/bounty to anyone solving a long block. That may not be a bad idea.

To give a good example, I hereby pledge 0.25 BTC to the person finding the next block on bitminter (if he claims it here, Im not gonna chase him).

[DrHaribo]

Damn, that's not the record I wanted us to break.

P4man, interesting idea. I'll think about implementing something like that.

[teflone]

I've been away..

Just came back, using the bitminter client on a winxp machine...

its a 5850 ati, and never had this problem..

its over clocked to around the 350 mhash level, and it seems to climb to around that number and the fan slows, and seems to throttle down just for a second, once it passes roughly around 348-350 mhash..

it clearly slows and drops to around 300 -320 mhash, then climbs, and repeats...   the heat is fine, and I can lower the overclock to less and dosent seem to change things..

Anyone else seen this before ? any suggestions..

All I know is that it never did this before..  I was using a client from a month ago and it was nice,, was clocking up around 360 steady mhash...

Mqpickens...what is your secret? lmao. We'll get out of this block before you know it guys. then maybe we can get another 5 in one day?

[DrHaribo]

Welcome back, teflone

it clearly slows and drops to around 300 -320 mhash, then climbs, and repeats...

Hmm, did you update Catalyst since last you were mining? The miner runs slower on the latest Catalyst. I've never seen it going up and down that much though.

If you have another miner installed you could see if it has the same problem.

We'll get out of this block before you know it guys. then maybe we can get another 5 in one day?

Let's hope for that! The annoying thing with bitcoin mining is that you spend most of your time on the unlucky blocks. The lucky ones finish so quickly.

[Turbor]

Just hang on... the end is near 

[P4man]

The end is near? That sounds... not very reassuring!

btw, about a bounty system, perhaps you could make proportional to the CDF, once above a certain treshold (say 90% or something). Its something pool hoppers could exploit, but I wouldnt mind some poolhoppers joining at this point.
