Donate. I always do. 1% no prob. More if reliable like fast api.

[rampone]

I also like your pool from the looks, would be a shame if you did not get rewarded for it.

After talking to other pool Op's I've decided to move to PPLNs after this round. It will go into effect when the round ends and I've already updated the FAQ. The payout code hasn't been change but the payment estimate code has been when we moved over to 0% fee with donation levels.

If you want to discuss sticking with straight prop lets talk about it, I'm open. The reliable 24x7 miners appreciate PPLNS because it can't be gamed so easy like proportional can be.

1) I am reading your FAQ page right now and:
"How are payouts calculated? [TOP]
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! "

So, what are you using right now? Regular proportional or PPLN?

2) Oh, and BTW, there is no need to hop away at >=43% if you have no pools at lower % you currently are to switch to (can a grammar nazi fix taht for me) .  Organofcorti made some cool simulations and calculations to prove it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=26866.msg439864#msg439864

My balance said .08xxxxx and then I did the instant payout and all of a sudden my wallet has .078 more.  Hmmmm.

Settings configurable per rig like SMTP server, RPC L&P, fan speed %, over heat temp, OC core Mhz, OC memory Mhz

What are you using for OC's and fan speed?  Is it not possible to set per GPU? And does anyone know how Diablo compares to phoenix?

Right now the userland programs are setup to be able to OC all GPU's with 1 speed or each GPU at a separate speed but the WWW GUI is setup for 1 speed for all. Since there isn't much interest in the managed rigs I don't know if I want to spend the time adding that feature.

The userland programs on the linux image are also setup for either Diablo to manage all the GPU's or 1 phoenix miner for each. However the WWW GUI just uses Diablo. I'm still the only user with managed rigs so it's probably going to stay that way right now. Being a pool op of a 0% fee pool and competing with BTCGuild and deepbit is a thankless job.

Well I hope it improves, it's a great idea.  I prefer to stick with PPLNS pools and I've been using Linuxcoin and BAMT but the iPhone and web management would make things much easier.  I'll be happy to throw a couple Ghash your way at 3.5% to test it out as soon as I sort out a small lightning issue - didn't think to run cat5 through surge protector.

[ewibit]

why are there so much stales?
(7.26%)
TIA

[eyeoh]

We just switched to luke-jr's version of pushpool this afternoon, hopefully that clears some up. Bitcoind is always an issue also and when it has problems and needs to be reset you see some stales/rejects.

UPDATE - wont be using luke-jr's pushpoold from git. The stale/reject rates where crazy! Switched back to the one I know works well. My test rig still has 0% stales so that's a lot better. The new LB makes life a lot easier to.

[ewibit]

so, now I stop
here I see:
UnitedMiners
shares 4261    stales 1806   (42.36%)!!!
and on your HP I see
2430 shares....

[eyeoh]

My rig I see 3337 accepted 98 stales, or about 2.9%. Thats not so bad now. Reset your counters on your miner. The luke-jr pushpoold test was a disaster.

Anyone else seeing a lot of upstream RPC errors for workers and problems connecting to the API?
