I keep getting RPC communication errors. Any idea?

How much is your ping delay to deepbit.net ? Do you have any packet loss ?

[dishwara]

Ya i too get RPC error so switched to slash.

Pinged deepbit.net & every time the average changed.
From 375 - 503ms around 20 times ran ping deepbit.net cmd

[dingus]

The RPC errors seem to go away after a few minutes. I guess it is a "your side" network problem. I am somewhat confused as to having multiple workers registered as opposed to just one. What is the advantage to having more than one worker registered?

when i am not logged in, i can still see my shares and rewards in the statistics, even new ones, but cannot see the my account page. so somethings wrong with the sessions.

Can't seem to change my worker from proportional to pay-per-share.

It allows the change to be made via the edit worker but the "my account" still shows proportional for that worker.

EDIT - Had to log out and log back in to see the change

[hazek]

Might be a silly question but: Is this pool viable for someone with a laptop?

Yes, if you understand that you can't mine any serious amount of BTC by CPU with current difficulty.
But you can try, escpecially with Pay-Per-Share mode.

I do understand that. But I have no clue how to set this up. Could one of you wizards write a simple step by step "how to set this up" guide for windows users? It would be much appreciated, thanks!

There is no difference. It's just for better statistics - you can see which one is not working and can set different payment sharing for different miners.

Pool updated:
1) ufasoft's SSE2 CPU miner is now supported
2) workers creation is allowed
3) payments list is available to users

Attempting to throw ufasoft's miner at your pool, and getting these errors. The bold is the switches I tried to use to run the miner.

C:\CPUMiner>miner.exe -o deepbit.net:8332 -u xx@xx.xx -p xxx

0 MHash/s     Error 8007007B:  The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I closed the window with the error while typing this up, but when I put a "http://" in front of the deepbit.net part, it just said it couldn't make a connection.

It is connected to slush's pool right now, so I'm sure I'm just missing something.

I'll put in a plug for the GUI front-end of m0mchil's poclbm miner here

Just tried with vesion 0.3.2 and everything works fine. You should use http://deepbit.net:8332, not just the domain name. "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" is surely not pool's error but miner's one, ask ufasoft about this.

[theGECK]

No longer getting the error, but getting 0 Mhash/s. In the past, that's only happened when username/password are wrong. After typing each in several times, and copy/pasting them straight from the account section, I'm still not getting any hashes.

Edit: It works, but takes some time to start showing work. Timed it to be exactly 60 seconds each time before the hash rate shows up. Not sure if this is on my end, or the pool's end.

It sends first request without authorization field in http headers each time and tries to authorize only after receiving pool's answer about required login. I'll try to ask ufasoft to fix this behavior, but he uses external library that works that way, so i'm not sure if it will be better than now.

Thanks Tycho your pool works fine   What is the best performance? Pay-Per-Share or Proportionnal ?   

[theGECK]

From what I've heard, PPS should end up being ~10% less than proportional, because you're transferring the risk of not finding a block to Tycho.

No, it should not being 10% less because there is 3% fee for proportional. And sum wildly depends on luck.

Right, over time PPS should add up to being 90% of theoretical while Proportional is 97% of theoretical. A difference of ~7%, not 10%.

[theGECK]

Guess I should have clarified that - I forgot that the 3% was mandatory in this pool.

How's the test of the pool coming along? I see the hash/s rate is going up rapidly.

I just now realized that the .:D:. in the title bar stood for Deepbit.  Thought it was an emoticon for a while now >_>
