[DEAD] DeepBit.net PPS+Prop,instant payouts, we pay for INVALID BLOCKS too

[error]

Hey [Tycho], when I go into my worker's page and then hit 'Reset counters' I get the error 'Insufficient_magic!' and the counters do not reset. Where can I get some more magic?

Sorry for this, will add now.

EDIT: Fixed.

It worked, thanks for the extra magic!

I started mining last weekend, and I had a nice income with my cayman GPU with prop. mode.
Now I get like no income compared to what I used to get last weekend per hour? should I change to pps?

It's caused by recent difficulty adjustment.

I just changed to PPS and now the Deepbit website right sidebar is showing that I'm contributing nothing each day and getting 0.00 BTC.  I had been in proportional mode and was getting 0.19 BTC per day after the recent difficulty change.

The number of shares completed by my worker are incrementing correctly.  I'm using poclbm 20110325 on Windows with nVidia 460.  Can I fix this?  Thanks.

Your history column shows latest solved blocks and your part of those blocks if you are using Proportional mode.
With PPS mode your reward doesn't depends on blocks at all, so it's not shown there. Your balance will just increase each hour.

Thanks Tycho.  You're a champ for replying so fast!

Can you please adjust the API to output JSON in an easier to use format?

current:

Code:

{
    "confirmed_reward":0.00486235,
    "hashrate":17.13793103,
    "ipa":false,
    "workers":{
        "workername1":{
            "alive":true,
            "shares":8,
            "stales":0
        },
        "workername2":{
            "alive":true,
            "shares":11,
            "stales":0
        },
        "workername3":{
            "alive":true,
            "shares":4,
            "stales":0
        }
    }
}

Proposed change:

Code:

{
    "confirmed_reward":0.00486235,
    "hashrate":17.13793103,
    "ipa":false,
    "workers":[{
            "name":"worker1",
            "alive":true,
            "shares":8,
            "stales":0
        },
        {
            "name":"worker2",
            "alive":true,
            "shares":11,
            "stales":0
        },
        {
            "name":"worker3",
            "alive":true,
            "shares":4,
            "stales":0
        }
    ]
}

Some people already asked me for that, but I can't just change it because that would break all the existing software.
May be it can be done as optional mode by additional key. (And I wanted to do JSONP too).

The existing JSON format is perfectly readable and valid. Do you need help with parsing it ? What programming language do you use ?

I'm using .NET and the current message format seems to be preventing me from using a DataContractJsonSerializer on the worker objects.  I'd like to avoid using the json serializer on codeplex and just do it natively.

It's not a big deal, really. No worries.

JSON parsing looks to be so simple that you are probably better off writing your own anyway since it should fit into your app exactly the way you intend and will be as lightweight as possible where caned code is possibly over engineered or over featured for what you want.   There is good code on Codeplex, but clearly you are suffering from a limitation now anyway :$

BTW, is there an official JSON spec?

Yes: http://www.json.org/javadoc/org/json/JSONArray.html
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt

A JSONArray is an ordered sequence of values. Its external text form is a string wrapped in square brackets with commas separating the values.

Doesn't your DataContractJsonSerializer supports key-value arrays ?

Can you please cover the passwords on the site. I don't feel comfortable using my passwords on my miners without covering it with stars or something.

I'm planning to add some options for this column.

Do not use same password for your workers and main account.
You can create a new worker, then change your main password - this way you'll have a worker with hidded password that isn't the same as your main one.

It can't turn the workers into an array because the array isn't constructed with square brackets, it's dumb - but that's the problem I'm facing hehe
