[ANN][Pool][Profit-Switch][Optional Auto-Exchange per Coin][Vardiff] ~ Hashcows

[OhShBit]

So here is a little comparison between middlecoin vs hashcows..

 Middlecoin BTC per MH/day through the last 12 days
    .02013 BTC TOTAL // 0.0167 per day avg

 Hashcows BTC per MH/day through the last 12 days
    .02354 BTC TOTAL // 0.0196 per day avg

 That is a difference is approximately 16% over the 12 day period from my estimates..

16% is quite a sizeable difference, over a 12 days period. That's ~40% a month, or %480 over the course of a year. Math is awesome!!!

Yep, got to love math!:D

Wow..  I hope the good news your about to tell us is that we can expect the results to be more like today's results going forward..

Bummer..  Spoke too soon..  Why is it that all the sudden Est dropped almost 50%??

The much  higher than normal estimated earnings was due to a bug specific to the est. earnings script.  I had fixed it in the actual payout script, but forgot to also correct it in est. earnings.  Its unfortunate, I know everyone was looking forward to x3 to x4 rewards today...

I've been thinking it through a bit after seeing the pool stratum connection disconnect at every start of a new round.  Seeing my miner go down for 15-30 seconds, and about 45 seconds till they are back up to speed.

I am wondering are you restarting a new stratum server each time it switches coins?

If so I wonder if it would be more efficient to have a stratum proxy (or 2, one in NA) running with a really fast reconnect rate to the pool stratum server ... and have all clients maintain connections to that proxy, seems to me that doing this may might get a faster work restart after the coin switch.

Its been bugging me in my head that I see stuff like this quite often in my miner output on the coin switch. This one happened right on the finding of a block ... did it even get found, or was that one of the 24 shares lost due to disconnect?

ing!

I'm not sure if its the case for you as well or not (and it may be rather difficult to tell), but one thing I noticed during my testing, is that my client would show a much longer overall disconnect period than was actually happening.  It seemed to take quite awhile for my miner to start showing accepted shares again, even though the stratum logs on the server were showing me submitting them much sooner.

I will however look into this.  Always looking for ways to improve.

uh, percents don't work like that.

User Ledger needs to be updated.  We should be able to see all transactions transparently.  Need to be able to go back as long as possible not the last 50 or so transactions.

Of course not, but its much more fun this way

Will try and get to this tonight. 



Also have a fix for the minor outages we seem to be hitting once a day or so, just need to code it up.

Actually I like the minor outages... Each time I get hit by one, it falls over to BTB and each time got a hit on it... when Diff is > 2

One thing we need to map is the following:

Need to find the MAX Total Hash rate before ROI starts to drop.  Having more MH/s is not always productive.  This way we can tune the system to hash around that rate and hopefully get more coin out of it.  Additionally, if there is more than this amount, consider a failover to a second pool instead of cramming more in the same one.

Really liking the pool so far.  My only suggestion would be put some kind of a past 24hrs earnings somewhere under our stats.  It would be nice to have our current 24hr total updated on the site.  Thanks again nearmiss for always running some great proportional pools, after being there for so long I had to give this a try.  Keep up the good work.

Little question about the Hashrates.

Im running on a 7950 and I get around 490 MH/s on other Pools (50btc for example)

I just hooked up with the cow and im on constant 14.7x kh/s. Im running on "normal" gpu usage (~94%) but way less temperature, then normally (~50°C instead of ~65°C)

I'm working with cgminer and used the default connection batch, as stated on the homepage.

Do i need some tweaking in the configs, or am I doing something terribly wrong?

Please post all your settings, need more info.

It's the standard

"cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum01.hashco.ws:8888 -u username.1 -p password" in a batchfile.

Sorry, if "settings" means something else, I'm pretty new to mining.

I use 4 x 7950 but here is my CGMiner batch file adjusted for 1 x7950:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum01.hashco.ws:8888 -u username.1 -p x --intensity 18 --thread-concurrency 22400 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --temp-target 72 --temp-overheat 82 --temp-cutoff 90 --worksize 256

This gives me 570 Kh per card. The 2 important variables here are intensity and thread concurrency, these settings should work fine. You'll notice the "temp-target" is set to 72, this should be fine for a 7950. Note that if you reduce this number to say 60 or 65 your fan's rpm will jump up significantly. I think 72 is a good trade-off. Hope this helps.

Pool down ?

Pool down ?

Were back up! sorry for the brief mintue or two downtime

[swiftshoot]

While we were on WDC, I noticed my miner was sending stale requests (as I prefer to send requests instead of dropping them) and all I saw was about 20-30 lines of sending stale requests... then about 30-40 seconds later, saw a whole bunch of requests getting accepted.  Not sure if this is a network issue or server issue but it was pretty much hung for about 30-40 seconds before any response.

[zepadee]

err, I lied were putting it back up now.

I disconnected an your hash down to 205.
