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

THIS WAS FROM THE DEEPBIT THREAD, NOT THIS ONE

If you use miner with long polling support and have several miner instances (several rigs or multiple gpu cards), you must use different miner login/password for each miner instance.
You may create additional miner logins in your profile.

Do we need to do this as well?

Yes.

No.

You can use many miners on each worker account.

I did set it a long time ago but it never seems to match or be near the time on my local clock when something changes or appears. :S

What is your timezone ? PM me your login name so i can check it.
Was the wrong data shown in "payments" page ?

I believe so.

I saw connectivity problems with some of the users, looks like peering failure. Trying to find cause of this.

And i ordered a new server in Europe to use as backup (automatic failover) for this kind of situations, will be available in a couple of days.

Good stuff ... so out of interest, the new European server will not be co-located with the main server which is where ?

Main server is in USA.

Would it be possible to show statistics on PPS history entries and the Statistics menu? Currently, we just get the number of shares in the block, not the full display of our contribution, hash rate, and earning. And on the statistics page, it shows None under reward. It'd be nice to be able to track your progress, especially for those of us who mine overnight.

PPS earnings aren't connected with blocks, you will get your reward even if no blocks were found overnight at all, that's why PPS reward isn't shown in stats table.
You can look at your balance and contributed shares counter in workers list.

I'll try to come up with some solution, don't know the best way of displaying this yet.

you could put the total reward of PPS during the time it took to find the block?

[Reto]

Something like "During the last X hours Y minutes, a block was solved containing A shares, of which you contributed B, earning you C at the current rate."

Of course, it'd be compressed to the history sidebar, looking something like this

Mo/Dy/Yr Hr:Mn:Sc
Xh Ym BBB/AAAAAA
PPS: + C.CCCCCCCC BTC

Almost like the normal proportional one, just with a PPS to let you know what mode you were in. Maybe add Prop.: to proportional entries for easier distinguishing.

Since we're on the topic of PPS stat tracking, the new Statistics page could look like this:

Time/Link | Found In | Total Shares | Your Shares | % Contrib. | Mode | Payout

Example for Proportional: 09.04.2011 00:00:00   | 1h 30m | 30000 | 200 | 0.00667% | Prop. | 0.33333 BTC

Same example, PPS mode: 09.04.2011 00:00:00   | 1h 30m | 30000 | 200 | 0.00667% | PPS | 0.10929 BTC

In PPS mode your shares aren't connected to blocks in any way. People may be confused if i'll do it that way.

Same user may have both PPS and Proportional workers running at the same time.
May be i'll add earnings table by hours - PPS reward for each hour and sum for 24 h.

Oh, if that's how it works, the by hour/day display would work best.

Good idea

I know you said you were thinking about paypal but could you also look into amazon payments as a possible auto payment thing?

Hi Tycho

You're running an awesome service and I really appreciate the time you're putting into it.

Just wanted to see what you're planning for the web's graphs?

I've used a cool cross-browser jquery charting tool called highcharts (http://www.highcharts.com/). Easy to implement and very interactive (and free).

Some charts i'd like to see:
1. Earnings vs total shares (dual y-axis), by day (x-axis) - (aggregate by day).
2. Earnings vs "found in time" (dual y-axis), by day (x-axis) - (aggregate by day).

Would be cool if you could dynamically add series for comparison on the dual axes. I've done something similar to that here: http://www.picostats.com/demo/

The thing with a charting spec is that it's hard to see what is needed before you actually see the data on a chart - so just wanted to throw this out there. If you want help with the designs, just let me know.

Keep up the good work

Hi Tycho

Hello.
Thanks for your advice, i'm looking into it. The good thing is that there is a support for drawing scatter plot, but the bad thing is the price - $360 for single license. So i'll better try something else :)

Initially i planned to put some raster graphs there, but now i think that JS may be suitable too (not sure yet :)

[will]

Hmm, true - the single dev license is a bit steep for highcharts.

Google charts (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/) also supports scatter graphs (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/docs/gallery/scatter_charts.html): and is free to use.

Have you considered adding Adsense to the web for a bit of extra income? A quick calculation shows you should be able to make ~$50/day adding that (based on ~500 users doing one page-view/day). I certainly wouldn't mind it as you'd be able to offset the income from that with your 3% rate, allowing you to stay competitive if need be. That, or just making more money to subsidise your cool development, which is the point, I guess.

[jurian89]

put up some adds and lower your pps % to 8 %

[vuce]

I keep getting "not talking to master and retries used up". Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
