[ANN] LEASERIG.NET - rent&hire Quark hashing power!

Suggestion: instead of showing "Lease active from Sun Jan 26 17:11:19 CET 2014 until Sun Jan 26 20:11:19 CET 2014", which is confusing if you're not in CET (if you even know what CET is - I had to look it up), show something less region specific like:

(a) the overall lease period in hours; and
(b) the number of hours and minutes remaining.

Is there/will there be official/unofficial IRC channel somewhere?

Create one.

Oh, don't know how to do that properly. I'll leave that to someone more experienced.

I want to talk about what the hell is my machine mining right now 

You want to discuss with rig onwers what renters are mining ?

Now when I think about it, there should be some level of privacy, and what and where are renters mining is exactly what should not be discussed 

It only popped in my mind now, because I'm curious what I'm mining, so I often jump on the page in pool address to see what it is,
and now I've landed on page full of chinese characters

I would urge renters not to change the price after rig is leased. That creates a false impression that the rig was leased for much higher which is kind of dishonest.   and artificially raised the prices..

If you wish to change your rental plans before the next person rents, you really have no choice but to change plans during the current rental.

djeZo, are you grabbing stats from current rental plans or from rental history data?  Speaking of which, it'd be awesome for us admins to be able to see rental history with renter name, price, date/time and length of rental.  I'm sure that's already on your list.

Great idea. I might lease my rig.

Yes understood the reason right after I posted .. May be Dejo can make some enhancement to show the original plan

Haven't read through all of this thread, so apologies if this question has already been asked and answered.

Does the leaserig system and its miners support the old-school 'getwork' protocol? IOW, if I give a http URL instead of stratum+tcp:// will everything work? I want the rig to connect directly to my client for solo mining.

Somebody is doing solo mining on my rig. So yes, it works

I've done my first buy and it is solo mining as expected... but given that you have no control over finer configuration such as poll period it is probably just wasting hashes.

I'm on a coin that is currently finding 2 or 3 blocks per minute, but the leased miner is only connecting once per 60 seconds to get work. This means it will be routinely spending time working on blocks that were already found by someone else, and it will miss having a go at more than half of the blocks.

Really need a reverse stratum proxy that lets the miner connect via stratum, but do getwork to the local client. Basically like a simple pool.

BTW: if you're solo mining remember that the guy running the miner will have full RPC access, which means access to your wallet. I am using a throwaway client with a script that sweeps any balance above 1 to another client/account.

Yes, there are some security considerations to take care of if doing solo mining with these rigs. But even if doing manual renting of rigs (person to person), there is such security consideration, so this is nothing new.

Tried to register for this service, but it seems the Captcha part is not working (nothing is shown)... Thus it is impossible to register?

Any ideas why this is (tried different browsers - same result)?

Google is having issues with captcha sometimes. Just retry now or after some minutes.

This means it will be routinely spending time working on blocks that were already found by someone else, and it will miss having a go at more than half of the blocks.

One workaround I've found is to add a stratum pool as a lower priority backup. It stays connected and provides information about new blocks even though you're sending it no shares. When the stratum connection for the pool signals a new block, the miner immediately does a getwork request to the main client. So instead of blindly asking every 60 seconds "hey, has anything changed? Am I still working on the right block?" it can now say "I just heard there's a new block, send me the info"

djeZo, thanks again for coming up with an awesome service and constantly improving it!

Have you considering releasing an API, like one of the exchange tickers, such as: https://btc-e.com/api/2/btc_usd/ticker?  Obviously, not for coin prices, but for raw data on rigs for rent. 

I ask because I'd like to use such an API to grab data to enhance my pool-monitoring website (http://home.digitolle.net/miner) so customers can also see how long it's rented for, etc.  I'm just using simple code based on current username to determine if it's "Rented" or not.

Thanks,

Maybe in the future. Currently there are more important things to do.

Is there a way to reset the password for my account?.. I thought I pasted it someplace on my comp, but apparently not.. 

[Pustul]

Would it be possible to prevent someone from leasing a not responding rig?
I've had a problem this morning with my rig and someone rent it while it was down, I thought it was impossible so I didn't change the price to prevent it from happening.

Send me PM of your email and I will mail it to you.

Sometimes these responds are only temporary. So it is hard to detect when rig is actually down or just a temporary connection issue that gets fixed after 1 minute.

Not really a problem, the renter can lease the rig one minute after instead of the very moment it's down.
