Awesome day today for shares

Awesome day today for shares

Yeahp, I hope the purchase(s) was huge enough to hold for a while =P

[Starlightbreaker]

i'm able to consistently get ~150-200%, and 300% with decent luck and perfect timing, back in the day.

Back in the days, you had a dozen prop pools to hop. The more pools, the higher your profits.

But I think you guys are talking about different %s. With perfect timing you can get an almost arbitrary high PPS on the shares you hop with. Just hop away earlier and your PPS on those shares will go up. But your total profit while hopping just 1 prop pool  with your own hashes will go down, and its not likely you will get >135% average hopping just a single pool, particularly when its being hopped by 4x its regular hashrate.  Thats what the other poster meant I think. I doubt you'll get much more than 110% on pools like bitclockers.

But if you could indeed hop with leased shares from gpumax, then thats not the number to look at. Its the PPS for the shares you hop with. And in theory you can achieve an almost arbitrary high PPS on those, limited only by your ratio of the pools hashrate. But thats assuming you can time them perfectly, which I think we all agree, you cant, not with gpumax.

perhaps though, some other payout schemes are somehow vulnerable to sudden and massive changes in hashrate? Maybe organofcorti or Meni Rosenfeld could comment on that? I just saw on a thread on slush regular miners complaining they are losing on short rounds. Could of course be due to regular hoppers, but maybe its doable with gpumax too. I dont know exactly how Slushes score based system works

Only a certain type of pools can be boosted, with exact timing. Kinda like manual-hop, but slightly different.
if i still have some shares left after boosting, and don't feel like staying, derpbit is a pretty good runoff pool.

Good Point p4Man but I have to ask - when was "back in the days?" last summer? lol

like, sometime in feb, lol, when gpumax just started.

nope.

i quit using it because it's getting way unreliable.

How is "consistently get ~150-200%" unreliable?

the purchase system is unreliable.

sometime it starts within 20 minutes, sometimes it's 9 hours later.

If you can do better, please go build it.

not interested, and i can't code worth any shit.
i'll let someone else figure it out, and use it afterwards.

[RoloTonyBrownTown]

Lots of rejects and "Pool 0 not providing work fast enough" errors for the last few hours

[GenTarkin]

Yeah I get the pool not providing work fast enough occasionally.
Im also curious, does GPUmax's LP not work right? Cuz I constantly get cgminer saying "new block detected on network before LP, fetching new work" type message.
Rather than the LP detected new block on network.
Its not a biggy but thats prob reason for my reject rate. (partially)

Let it go....who cares about 0.5% more stales having 150% more BTC

While its leasing, I dont think anyone cares, not at current prices anyway.

But if it stops for prolonged periods of time, as it has for the past weeks, it would be nice to have an API so you can switch your miner to your default pool when there is nothing to sell at gpumax, without having to use the passthrough, and switch back to gpumax when its running leased shares.

AFAICS, thats win-win for everyone, since GPUmax doesnt make any money on passing through, it would even reduce the load on their machines somewhat, and it decreases the stales for the miner on his default pool. All thats needed is a public API or better yet, some longpolling mechanism to inform you when its time to go back to GPUmax.

Good idea - wonder if it's something that could be integrated with cgminer.

[P4man]

Easily. Or just a little standalone app. Or the server could do it. Ive been bugging pirate for such an API for a while, but he doesnt seem to see the need.

This is easy to do right now if you have one worker stay at gpumax..  use the json call and read the diff in total leased shares from last call.  set the price low enough to not be priced out of leased shares.

Did payments already go out for today ? (Sat, March 31).....

[Brunic]

Quick question guys. Is there a place where you can see the list of the payouts we get from GPUMax? Can't find it anywhere on the website.

[ummas]

Pirate, could you announce when price of shares drops?
Twice a day... my workers falls private than....

The weighted average now moves whenever a miner changes their share price. I think it would be kind of hard to announce.

This feature has not been implemented yet.

[ummas]

I`m talking bout buying price, not leasing one.

Massive connectivity issues on miners for gpumax today =/
