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

[[Tycho]]

A bug was found and fixed today. This bug possibly caused mining problems for some users since 22-23.03.2013, so now things may get better if you were affected.

Today is 05.03.2013 only.

It was a typo, should read 02 (feb) instead of 03.

Is deepbit.net having problems? I am freaking out right now ... I cannot withdraw. I click on Instant Payout and it came back with Page Temporarily Unavailable OR Please_wait_2_minutes!

Can anyone help please?

Sorry for this.
Recent USD/BTC rate rise caused the pool's hot wallet to be drained MUCH faster than usual and I had to manually refill it. Delays up to a few hours were experienced, but I think that it never happened for a 24h in a row.
As you may know, the rate is now all-time-high, so lots of users are cashing out.

Something is definitely wrong ... I am running my usual 900MH/s, but getting paid for about for about 80MH/s while the sidebar has 600 in the calculate daily pay button.

It has been this way over the past few hours, and I recalculated and recalculated my numbers and I've averaged 895MH/s over the past 8 hours.  What's going on here?

http://puu.sh/2dyik <-- shows over the past seven hours my sidebar shows around 80MH for payouts, yet my history shows about 500MH/s.

This is not cool, even if I was doing average 500MH/s my payout should reflect that, but my miners have both been running full steam, and I don't have a load of rejected shares, about 40 on one and 15 on the other.  Why isn't it reflecting this in my payouts?

Edit: also noticed my miners [tails 2 and 3 in the pic] are showing minutes since last share ... I post 2-4 shares per minute on one, and about 10 shares per minute on the other, atm its showing 3 minutes ago on miner 2, yet I have posted about 25 shares accepted in phoenix in the past 3 minutes.

[Vannicke]

A half hour later still showing 600 while my miners are running 640MH and 280MH as usual, it seems I'm registering 2/3 my speed in this screen, http://puu.sh/2dyMt ... but in team it shows much less. http://puu.sh/2dyTp

Please note that DeepBit still appears to be creating 50kb blocks at times - most pools are now upgrading to blocks 10x or 15x larger. Small blocks mean that transactions take longer to confirm.

If you're still mining on DeepBit, please consider moving to a pool that a more reasonable block size policy (basically - any other pool). Most of them seem to have lower fees too.

Your notifying the community of a pools apparent block size is completely appropriate and probably a good thing.

But please keep your opinions of where a person should be mining and why to yourself and let miners exercise their freedom of choice.  Whether you, or others, agree with that choice, or not, is immaterial.

Thanks for the info though.
Take Care,

sam seems to be a deepbit fan boy taking this agresive stance  whats left of deepbit is gpu miners who run on autopilot  when asics start to arive in few weeks  deepbit is finished   peace
sam deepbit and tycho:) so long  was nice ride while it lasted

oh and my miners are returning failed shares? si deep bit down?

Deepbit still pushes out the occasional 200+ KB block.  All pools create small blocks at times.  The way bitcoind handles putting a block together means right after a previous block is found you will likely not be including a significant number of transactions, especially if the previous block was a large one that included most of the transactions your node had record of.

Yeah, what I have heard is that there are multiple nodes configured differently. If you look at the sizes of blocks being created by DeepBit it's clear there's a 50kb hard cap somewhere, the sizes are too perfectly close to that boundary to be anything else. Of course other pools also have a variety of nodes configured differently, but 50kb is pretty low.

People can mine wherever they like, of course. I'm just pointing out that 50kb isn't really helping confirm transactions, which is the point of mining.

I will be nice here ,  it seems the problem is still around .. I switch pools on the same settings for over 24 hours and not one problem .. here ever few minutes my miners loses connection  means i earn less .

So please put more time in or the pool is a lost cause  " going going gone "  as you have seen it's going down hill  for a bit now .

Sure, I understand that and appreciate the info.

If your analyzing "apparent" pool block size's maybe it would be productive to create a thread with a chart?  Then we all could compare and contrast.

I'm no Deepbit "fan boy".  But I'm not an enemy of Deepbit either.

I don't like it when people try to influence the free market.  Let people who use a service decide.

I very much appreciate the information Mr. Hearn supplied and if my words were a bit harsh I apologize for that.  But I stand by the basic point I was attempting to make and that is let the free market work.
Thanks,
Sam

Coin generation is only a portion of point of mining.  As reward halves it is a smaller portion of the point of mining.  Without transaction confirmations there is no Bitcoin system.  So transactions are a much more important part of mining in the long term.

Which is why I question the wisdom of modifying block sizes to keep the transaction fees low.

Tycho,
Could you post your block size and configuration over at organofcorti's new thread?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=151387.msg1606559#msg1606559

It may help alleviate some of the paranoia about your pool.  Or it may not. 
Thanks,
Sam

Please_wait_for_autopayment!

I get this, hope it is temporary 

[[Tycho]]

At this moment our pool created a wrong branch of the blockchain, but not because of being 0.8+.
I'm working on the fix now.

Tycho, this should be really easy to fix. Ping me on IRC if you need any help.

Question:

On my screen https://deepbit.net/payments the payment showing up at the top has "12.03.2013 04:00" as date and the amount "1.01"

The transaction link is https://blockexplorer.com/tx/4439404783d82ad06680a0d8d6019b8c2644ca7d7fe45065465cda54e354fce5

But then I go to that link it says

"Error
No such transaction"

Is this transaction going to post eventually or is it lost due to the recent issues?

Thanks,
Nima
