[CLOSED] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers

[eleuthria]

yes, I have something back-asswards here, trying to figure it out. no offense intended. host computer specs should not have much to do with it? switched in an old amd laptop to host the BE's and a BFL jalapeno.

my stats look apporx. correct 2 workers 26GH/s total. >1% stales,both workers connected. just 1/2 the shares per shift.. weird. have to see what 24hrs.  does for earnings I guess see how it all washes out

Ok ay I see whats up there, I think, I accidentally had 1 of my workers on PPS that would account for it. Yes.  200,000 shares PPS this difficult. Last difficulty, I only had 22 shares PPS. "check the stupid stuff first"

Glad you figured it out.  That's actually a pretty common one, but for some reason it's the last thing I think of.

The new Dashboard is already a big improvement, but I did like seeing the total number of shares earning rewards under PPLNS.

Will that stat be included in the further tweaks that are still coming?

Yes, a total line will be added shortly to the PPLNS stats listed.  I'm still playing with the new dashboard trying to find a way to fit in all the stats I want without overhauling the UI (I really like that the website works great on my phone, tablet, or PC without any changes).

Update:  No, BTC Guild did not just lose half it's speed.  The time change just screwed things up.  Should be back to normal within the hour.  I thought this was all fixed but apparently something in the DB is still using a local timestamp instead of UTC.

I've nearly 40GH being hosted by a TPLink WDR-3600 router running OpenWRT with bfgminer 3.4.0.  It's using less than 5W of power, and it's totally stable.  You don't need ANY computing power really.

Heck, I used to run 30GH though a TPLink 703N micro-router, which was running off the same USB hub as all the miners were.  Stopped using it as the flash memory was too small, so had to run the OS off a USB stick, which was a little dodgy.

Hey guys...

Could someone be kind enough to explain the  "NMC is produced with BTC simultaneously"... Im kindda of lost here. For what i understand Im mining two coins at the same time?

thanks

It's called merged mining to do that, and there is tons of information out there on it.

If your using the PPLNS payout system on BTC Guild then yes.  NMC is basically worthless so it's not really worth the bother, unless you just want to tinker around.

The Namecoin project is dead.  Hopefully something better will replace it since it was a great idea and something that we need.

The New Dashboard is great eleuthria, I can see recent PPLNS shift Stats and recent Block Rewards without always checking PPLNS Stats. Thank You!    jesse11

You can exchange NMC  for BTC at BTC-e. It's easy to enable and gives you about 1% increase in BTC yield.

My 24 hour earnings appear to be way down at BTC Guild although the next jump in difficulty (~33%) is not due for another 13 hrs.  

[demonmaestro]

yea thats what i was thinking today also... i wonder why. I know the entire day luck sucks.

[BrandonMcPherson]

Our short term luck took a nosedive, dwdoc. It's on the rebound, but was subpar by almost a full day. It just happened to be the last day of this difficulty.

The five week average is still over 104%, so hooray for medium-term variance.

Five-week variance over 104%, and this difficulty is something like 109%.  Yes, earnings are down a lot yesterday.  However, your earnings were HUGE earlier this week compared to what you would have made at neutral luck.

I don't understand why all other pools have almost zero blocks found, yet btc guild is finding more than everyone else

See blockchain.info

6 blocks in a row - btcguild

is it possible to see who won the past 6 rounds ?

We did mine all 6 of those. In fact, we got last 8 out of 10.

We found 6 blocks in 30 minutes.  Thats a pretty unusual burst (not unheard of though).  It just happened to be at a time where the rest of the network hasn't found *one*.  The entire network (BTC Guild included) has had many times where it's more than an hour between blocks, so it's just a mixture of one pool having good luck while the rest isn't.

I'm on a pool with 750-930GH/s (it varies alot) and on bitminter 230TH
for the past 36 hours, both pools are ***really*** down on block finding.  In fact the whole network apart from btcguild seems down on its luck !
