[CLOSED] BTCMine - ZERO fee mining pool (LP, SSL, JSON API, P2SH)

[JWU42]

27 March version of Kiv's GUI miner.  I believe that is using the 20110325 (or more recent) version of poclbm...

EDIT - I just downloaded the 2011-04-03 pre version and see what (if any) improvement that makes...

Seems one of my rigs locked up - was running well and shouldn't have messed with it

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.

[JWU42]

OK - will do that once I get home this evening...

can you do different miner login but same password?

yes

I am a block finding machine

You are getting many times the expected blocks!  Are you sprinkling your machine with dust from ground up unicorn horns?

[dbitcoin]

Minor pool updates:

1) Sorting and pagination for money, payments, miners and news
2) Miners limit per one user account raised to 50
3) FAQ added
4) Help extended
5) JSON API page added

Please report about any bugs or typos.

[JWU42]

@Littleshop,

No magic dust here - just dumb luck 

[JWU42]

Time for some unicorn horn - getting close to 2 days now

Yes but overall I think of the pool as 'ahead' on luck.  It should be about 1 a day, but there will be possible two to four day stretches with none, then some crazy two or more a day times.  It is just more consistent then when I mined solo. 

[JWU42]

Agreed completely!

Not as consistent as a large pool like Slush and Deepbit, but if you hit 2 or 3 in a day (as we did) it is nice!  In the long run (over 2-3 months) it will all average out anyways...

RPCMiner-4way does not provide updates when given one of your JSON API urls. Specifically:

Code:

rpcminer-4way.exe -url=http://btcmine.com:8332 -user=xxx -password=yyy -statusurl=http://btcmine.com/api/getstats/zzz/ -workrefreshms=10000

Also, can you explain the math in this section of your scoring system:

Code:

share_score = exp(current_round_time / score_magic_number) 

current_round_time - time since round start (seconds) 
score_magic_number - some magic number

Specifically, what is the magic number and what is its purpose? And what does "exp" mean?

JSON API is not intended to rpcminer.
I do not even know why a rpcminer used statusurl

exp - exponential function
magic number - constant number, this constant just limit score growth within round time.
In faster pool (like slush) this number something like 300, in slower pool - this number bigger.

[JWU42]

Ugh - getting close to 3x the difficulty...

Thank you.

Another 2 block day. Hopefully more sooner than later.

[dbitcoin]

Long polling temporarily disabled.

And a third! Good day today!
