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

Tough day for Deepbit - just 9 blocks

Tough day for Deepbit - just 9 blocks  ::)

It should average out back to normal. Currently we have about ~52 000 shares per block at current difficulty which fits perfectly.

[JWU42]

Tycho - agreed

9 - Friday (155 minute avg)
13 - Thursday (93 minute avg)
12 - Wednesday (129 minute avg)
8 - Tuesday (211 minute avg)
3 - Monday (448 minute avg)

UPDATE:

• Now you can set your timezone, all dates will be shown with your local time.
• Login box is now hidden when you are logged in.

[mrballcb]

I suggest to change it so that when you're logged in (and it shows it on the top right side), don't display the user/pass login boxes.

Thanks for your suggestion, i'll fix it.

Holy crap that was fast.  Awesome, thanks!

[JWU42]

BAD BAD BAD luck...

No blocks for almost 7 hours! 

For our hash power 95% is 5:13

[yunk3r]

is the server down right now?

[JWU42]

I can connect but think something is wrong...

1.  When I switch to PPS in the past my credits would accumulate every minute or two -- just ran it for 5 minutes and no change.  Yes, I know the disclaimer says updates once per hour but that isn't how it was working on Wednesday.

2.  We are now past 8 hours without a block!

I know slush and tycho discussed slush's pool having issues (with bitcoind) as it neared 30GH/s.  Hoping that isn't the issue here!

Fast update was enabled only for testing. Now it's once per hour, as it should be. You haven't noticed change in the disclaimer :)

No, everything is working as it should.

EDIT: Today slush's pool had at least two blocks that took more than 200 000 shares each, so it's still perfectly possible unlucky round.

OK - thanks Tycho!

EDIT : Credits for the PPS shares just appeared as Tycho said it would.

I am using my GTX 480 for mining and it's crunching at about 106 Mhash/s.  Is it better for me to be on Pay-Per-Share or Proportional payout?

[JWU42]

I'd say proportional...

I would sell it and replace it with an ATI.

You are using roughly ~500w @ full load. With 80% PSU efficiency you're pulling 600w from the wall. 600w/hour * 24 hours/day * 30 days = 432 Kwh and at $0.10/Kwh, you would be paying $43.20 a month in electricity and pull in about 57.5 BTC per month or $52.33 a month at current difficulty and current Mt.Gox market price, netting $9.13/mo.

I don't like using ATI cards, their driver support for Linux is not very good.

Only if mining or other integer stream processing is not your main goal. ATIs are many times faster than nVidia in mining.

Well I can't change your mind, but here's some food for thought. You could probably get 5.5x your current Mhash on 2x5870s with at most 50w increase at stock clocks. This would most likely be within your current PSUs power envelope; so you would not need to replace the PSU.

Answering your original question, I would do proportional.

Answering your original question, I would do proportional.

Hitting four 5 hour blocks in a day might make you change your mind.

Not as bad as my solo mining average 

[williamthec]

I think maybe ATI cards are much better at 32bits integer computing, which is necessary for cryptography~

Actually my GTX260+ has only 50Mh/s, I'm going to change it for a 5850.
