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

[btharper]

Am i misunderstanding something about bitcoins? looking at http://blockchain.info/blocks/Deepbit , I see lots of submitted blocks, yet looking at the statistics page of the deepbit website, it shows no blocks for almost 2 days.. what's wrong? :/

Answered LOTS of times already. Blockchain.info is publishing incorrect data about block's origin.

Is there any reason not to broadcast the transactions without fees? I don't personally care if Deepbit mines my payment or someone else does it. It would also avoid the transaction not showing up relatively quickly for people looking for instant gratification and there's still no fee unless the pool wants to pay it. If no one else picks it up Deepbit can still mine it too so no lack of control. If the transaction hash is generated at the same time payment is requested the coins are already sitting there ready to pay out. So what's the downside? Or what's the rationale for this even? Maybe some brownie points and looking cool while it was a big pool, but waiting "several hours" before the transaction is even visible is a bit of a pain.

Maybe think about signing the coinbase?

What for ?

All transactions are broadcasted instantly at the moment of payment, but many nodes deny relaying low-priority TXes if fee is less than 0.0001 BTC - that's why sometimes you can't see your unconfirmed TX at blockchain.info
I'll think about adding some option to include fees.

Signing the coinbase would identify blocks from Deepbit without any overhead. Detection from blockchain.info et all would be dead simple. I'm personally not sure why you don't want your blocks to be easily identified and don't particularly care that they're often incorrectly identified.

I know personally I'm fine with no fee since I'd assume it would come out of my cash (and rightfully so). I wasn't sure if the payment tx was being broadcast at all or just held for inclusion in the next block. And while it would change the tx and tx id, why not rebroadcast the transaction to include all payments outbound (automatic and manual) that haven't confirmed yet to increase their priority? Might be harder to implement though.

Pool hopping.

Pool hopping.

Except that argument, as a reason not to, fails for a number of reasons:
1) DeepBit has supposedly implemented features to stop pool hopping (or was that not true and everyone mining here is losing income?)
2) Anyone who wants to pool hop DeepBit (and avoids their supposed detection) can identify the blocks a very high % of the time already anyway.
3) So are you saying that DeepBit's payment method is so out of date as everyone has known for literally 'years' and they don't care?

 Not to put too fine of a point on it, but it's one of the last remaining proportional pools out there, and they don't even support Stratum yet.

And that's one of the reasons i am here (mining with deepbit). There are passengers for every train. If you don't like this poll - choose another. You can't please everyone.

No more inaccuracy from blockchain.info. Plus I get a kick out of reading messages in the coinbase - maybe you could make a coded message I could read with my decoder ring? That'd be cool

I look forward to seeing "Hi organofcorti, love and kisses, Tycho" in the coinbase this weekend.

You have a problem with coino-erotic love? Coinophobe!

FACT: Most coinophobes are repressed coinosexuals themselves.

I don't feel repressed.  But I may be repressing the thought.

i am wonder what other usb blade erupter users are getting as their hasrates? I seem to only be getting a max of 65 Mh per second, but the chip is rated for 333. I wonder if I am actually just using my GPU and bfgminer has not identified the usb miner. Any thoughts?

On Stratum Protocol pools I'm gett 334-335Mhs.  On Deepbit, which is the old Getwork protocol, I'm getting 328-330Mhs.  So I would say BFGMiner probably BF'd something.  Or you have some other problem.

Works for me. May be it was a short interruption ?

Yes it was working again last night when I checked.  And its fine now.

[Dalekmun2010]

I've been reading through the last few dozen pages, is deepbit dying?

[Dalekmun2010]

LOL i dont undertstand who would still mine in this pool

So I should probably jump ship?
