Is anyone else getting high stale rates??

Not here. Last half hour:

Grand Total : [1088.23 MHash/sec] [436 Accepted] [0 Rejected] [0% Rejected]

I am not seeing the stales in my mining clients, all looks well there.. I am seeing them within the SCGuild web interface.

You're going to have high stale rates on SC Guild.  We're a massive pool and the SC network difficulty is not high enough for the 3 minute target time yet.  Stales hit when new blocks are found, because long polls are not instant no matter what server you use.

Your stale rates on SC, once the difficulty is roughly equal to actual hash speed, will be 3.3x what you get on BTC because SC is designed to produce 3.3x as many blocks in the same time frame.


The confirmation bug was fixed this morning.  I was trying to reduce server load but not polling so many transactions at once from listtransactions, and ended up setting the value slightly too low, meaning it wasn't seeing updated confirmations on blocks that were more than 60 transactions deep.

I'll try and fix issues like this with the coming versions by implementing improved functions you can use for such things. There is a *LOT* of room for optimization and ease of use for developers.

Errrm, I've kind of lost my password for SCGuild and can't seem to get the password reset feature to work. (Same username as my forums account). Don't suppose you could look into this?

[Isepick]

Any chance of getting a reset worker stats button?

with my hashrate, bitcoin calculator shows that i should mine with current diff 313 SC, but SC Guild estimated 24 Hour rewards is 84.75665258

how is that possible ?

if that's true, mining SC isn't much profitable than mining BTC

What is your hashrate? When did you start mining?  SC mining is 2.5 times more profitable than BTC for me.  Should be the same for you.

SC Guild estimated 24 Hour rewards is 84.75665258

Where is SC Guild providing that info on the website?

Cheers,

SC does not have a estimated rewards. they have a 24 Hour Rewards   (rewards that you got in the last full 24).

A second server has been added to SC Guild to assist with the load.  Miners do not have to change any of their settings.  You may see a few more rejects than usual once your client recognizes the new DNS settings, at which point reject rates should be reduced a little.  A third server is being added to the cluster as soon as the ISP provisions the extra server clusters for SC and BTC Guild.

"Since Reset" stats will be added back to SC Guild this weekend, since SolidCoin is showing enough staying power to warrant a few extra features/stats.

By the way, I eventually managed to get the site to send me a password reset e-mail and reset my password... but I had to edit the URL in the e-mail because it sent me to the main BTCGuild site rather than SCGuild.

Edit: Also, glad to hear the reset stats button will be making an appearance. I'm testing pointing my slow FPGA miner (now with long polling!) at SC Guild and it would've come in handy, though I guess I could've created a new worker...

Yes, this concerns me. I'm still getting very high stales.

[Syke]

Too many stales. CYA.

I am too, but it is still more profitable....for now.

Can you add donation so we don't have to wait for the 120 confirms?

SC Guild is just going to run its course.  No new features are going to be added/copied from the main BTC Guild frontend.  I'm done dealing with forkcoins until one of them can prove itself as having any practical use outside of screwing up the hash rates of the BTC network.

Since this isn't I0C which actually stopped working, I have no plans of shutting off SC Guild as long as it can produce $25/mo to cover the two pool servers [and I'd just shut off one pool server rather than the whole SC Guild until it fails to produce $15/mo].


Regarding rejected shares:  This morning I updated to the most recent solidcoind for 64-bit linux.  If the stale rates are still high, there's nothing more I can do about it.  It's using a mostly stock pushpool configuration, but it was receiving a lot of duplicate work from solidcoind itself.

Gotcha, it's not really a problem.

I0C is actually doing well without your big pool in the way lol no offense(BTC Guild is my favorite pool anyway). For the last day or so it has remained more profitable than solidcoin but I don't think many people are noticing. The fluctuating low difficulty and 120 block adjust is nice.

These alt currency's pulling bitcoin difficulty down is exciting. They have basically stretched out bitcoin's profitability. Also, being profitable consistently for 2016 blocks has its advantages. Since solidcoin and others change difficulty so fast they will always have wild fluctuations in hash rate.

Cry more? lol

Still way high. Something is wrong with your SC pool. Overloaded?

It's a problem in solidcoind, not pushpool, the database, or the servers.  I've used two different pre-compiled binaries from the website, and also compiling it straight from the source.  The only thing left I can think of is seeing how easily I can implement JoelKatz's patches into solidcoind.
