Yay for me and my laptop, I missed 10. 

[jkminkov]

can you tell me 156Mhash/s how many shares/hour(average, minimum?) should produce - please with formulae

I'm a bit lost as I don't run 24/7

At 26Mhps I'm getting around 20 shares an hour. This has ranged between 13 and 26 though just last night.

Using this as a base you should be getting of the order of 120 shares per hour.

The expected generation output, at 156000 Khps, given current difficulty of 55590.23763914 , is 2.8226040045 BTC per day and 0.117608500188 BTC per hour (actually 3% less because of fee in Proportional mode). And this difficulty may change tomorrow. Use online mining calculator :)
The average time to generate a block solo at 156000 Khps, given current difficulty of 55590.23763914 , is 2 weeks, 3 days, 17 hours, 8 minutes, and 21 seconds

Multiply number of shares per minute by 71 and you may possible get your speed in MH/s.
paulofisch gets 20 per hour, and (20/60)*71 = 23 MH/s
Calculate backwards if you want to get shares/minute for given speed.

[os008]

250 shares/hour here @300MH/s.

[os008]

Which web-site provides info about the next expected difficulty value and date please? http://nullvoid.org/bitcoin/ is down 99% of the time.

[BitLex]

http://bitcoincharts.com shows next estimated difficulty in <number of blocks>, besides other useful information.

[os008]

Thank you Lex; that's a really cool web-site.

[BitLex]

one of my favourites too,
be sure to show tcatm some love.

You can also use bot in #bitcoin-dev @ irc.freenode.org
Very useful for calculations :)

[os008]

Thank you, will try the IRC also.

Tough 12 hour stretch here

What is Long Polling ?

Usually the pool gives each miner some "job" to be done - a range of data that miner will hash one by one in search for the share. This "job" is unique for every block and changes every time when new block appears in bitcoin chain and every time when new transaction is added to possible block by the pool. If someone finds a block and after this you submit your share, calculated from old "job", it's considered stale and is wasted.

Most GPU miners need about 10-30 seconds do try all the possible hashes in this "job" and then should ask the pool for next one, but currently it happens more frequently - about every 10 seconds miner just drops it's current job and asks for next just to be sure that it's fresh and has all new data. Miners do have options to configure this number. The longer is this interval - the higher is your chance to submit stale share.
Someone can reduce their server's load by modifying the miner so it will ask for new job only when current one is finished completely. This way it requests for a new one with bigger intervals, but also with bigger chance that it's work will be futile. They also can decide to take shares not only from this round, but previous one too (which favours CPU miners and reduces reward for GPU ones). This is a nice idea and it's effect on server load is great, but there is something else that can be done for the mining to be more fair...

Long Polling is a special extension to bitcoin RPC protocol that allows pool to notify the miner about new blocks, so it can drop calculations currently in progress and immediately start new ones without loosing time and power. I expect this to cause several percent rise of miner's efficiency.
The first client software with Long Polling support will be the new version of m0mchil's OpenCL miner which is expected to be released soon.

I hope that beta test of this feature will be successfull.


Also there is a new share counter on each worker's page, tonight it will be enhanced, improved and upgraded :)

[TurdHurdur]

Sounds great, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming). Hope it "tightens time" .

Web interface feature request:

Purely for aesthetics, on the statistics page would it possible to identify which blocks were submitted by your pool? An asterisk would be sufficient IMHO, but you could just as easily add a "Pool Hit" column with a checkmark if your pool submitted that block.  If the "claiming" of that block goes against the Anonymous nature of the currency, I understand a "no I won't do that" answer.

Thanks for the education!

ok, it's out, how to enable that? use "-a 10" instead of "-a 5" ?

It's enabled by default. -a parameter is not used with long polling.

[Cablesaurus]

Is long polling useful at all for solo mining?
