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

[bittenbob]

Many months ago I created a thread, proposing considerable bounty of 50 BTC (~$1300 at the time of posting) for a new site tracking blockchain forks and double-spend attempts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7622.0

Recently this bounty was finally taken and now we can easily notice any performed attempts of evil forking, including 51% attacks: http://blockchain.info/orphaned-blocks

Double-spend tracking: http://blockchain.info/double-spends

Thats rather disturbing. More than 3 double spends being attempted as we speak by the looks of it.

Most of those "attempts" are just people recently restored their wallet.dat from backups or trying to use copies of same wallet.dat file on different PCs without performing full rescan.
It's not dangerous.

Ist there any other port to use? My ISP blocks port 8332. Any chance to make port 80, 443 or anything like this available?

Cheers
End!

Currently no other ports are available for mining.

Have you tried asking your ISP support to unblock it ?

What is the recommend number of gpus per worker on deepbit?

[Hawkix]

Hundreds!

What is the recommend number of gpus per worker on deepbit?

I recommend using one worker per one mining core. This also makes monitoring easier.
Directing more than 20 miners to single worker account will disable LP for this worker.

Click on the worker name to open it's control page

-> Click on the worker name to open its control page

Elementary school was a bitch for some people, huh...?

STFU noob. [Tycho]'s native language is Russian, don't blame him for each mistake like a small kid.

I noticed under advanced the other day that I had found a block at some point. I have only made about 8BTC from Deepbit so this was both extremely lucky and unlucky. It would be nice if there were some sort of a reward for finding a block quicker than you should but I don't think that will happen. Of course I could go solo mining but that would be fruitless since the odds of me finding another block soon are slim to none. Can you at least show the date and block id of the ones we found? Another idea would be to split the transaction fees with the block finder since they are currently kept by the pool operators. I came back because I think neither BIP 16/17 are ready for deployment without additional testing and I found out some things I didn't like about the other pool I switched to. In all honesty, once the BIP thing blows over I will probably be looking for another pool again but I think these are things you should look at.

A reward for finding a block? What about all the blocks that are found by others all the time? Do you want to receive less on those rounds so they can get a bonus? Why not split it evenly across all those that are helping to find the block....oh wait, thats the way it is already.

The reward could be half the transaction fees which are currently kept by the pool operators.

"Your" block is shown in bold font at the stats page.

And for your other questions I'll need more time to answer.

I guess it was more than 5 days ago so it doesn't show on the stats pages available. Must have been from my first 6BTC then before I switched.

Been mining for awhile and i started to notice a fall-off in payment randomly, instead of 0.013 payouts it went to 0.004 or lower, i went to check it out and noticed some of my miners are displaying "Unexpected error" rather than getting work, now all of my rigs (8 rigs) are showing this message, deepbit down or? not understanding why the sudden change when the site shows normal Ghash.

Stats are available for ALL our blocks, you just have to request the page for some specific time. But yes, it's not as easy as just clicking the link :)

I received some user reports (~4 at this moment) about similar error message from their miner, working on DeepBit and at least one other pool.
Since I don't see any considerable loss of total pool's hashrate, I can guess than it may be caused by some connectivity problem or software problem. Surprisingly, it started at the same time.

1. Check your connectivity by pinging pit.deepbit.net
2. Check if you have any antivirus software running, and WHEN it was updated for the last time. Did this time match ?
3. Try mining with some other miner - did the problem still persists or not ?

1. ping goes through with 100ms results no packet loss
2. Antivirus is on 1 of the 8 machines, but updated before any issues happend
3. This will take me some time, iv'e only ever used GUIMiner

At first i thought it was my router blocking the connection, but this doesn't seem to be the case, it's blocking the TCD connection immediately.
Solo mining seems to work fine from the GUIMiner.

1. ping goes through with 100ms results no packet loss

Try to check the connectivity with specific port: open your windows command line and enter
telnet pit.deepbit.net 8332
Then look if it shows some errors or just connects and shows empty screen.

I installed telnet client and it connects and shows an empty screen.
