I've been mining here since the beta. It's been amazingly stable. btcx has been very responsive to suggestions to improve the pool. Plus, he's just a nice guy (which sadly can't be said about some other pool ops).
I give the pool 9 thumbs up!

Thanks for joining, and for the suggestion. Currently, if you don't have a wallet address and you enable auto payouts, no payments will be sent but I do agree that we should probably just disable the auto payouts option (and direct users to enter a wallet address to enable it) for users who don't have a wallet address set yet. edit: this is now implemented.

Thanks for giving it a whirl. You must have left pretty early in the round, which required 2.2m shares. The values can all be seen here: https://www.maxbtc.com/work-payouts?w=41currently: f = 0.0505, c = 0.01, o = 0.8 edit: actually, c is way too low, giving a disproportionately large value to shares submitted near the end of the round. starting round 43, the values will be: f = -0.1555, c = 0.1, o = 0.8 bonus is reduced to 4% I'm open to suggestions, discussion on what those values should be. I notice you plan to process payouts via moneybookers, just be cautious since they refuse to deal with any bitcoin-related trading.
I have another business that does 1000+ txns/day. I was planning on funneling the Bitcoin withdrawals through that account. Technically, withdrawing to MB or PayPal isn't really the same as selling Bitcoin. We already have the Bitcoin.. we'd just be paying you for your hashing contribution with dollars instead but it's probably best to obfuscate the transaction just in case.

So if I mine with the 3.50% there is still technically a -2% fee with the 4% bonus ('Cause of invalids counting).
Good idea making special features require people to donate, I haven't personally seen that before.
Oh and I love the website's stats pages, they are very organized and easy to read.

Thanks It'd be a -0.88% fee (0.88% bonus). The bonus is applied first and then donations are taken out.

actually, c is way too low, giving a disproportionately large value to shares submitted near the end of the round.
That is truly fucked up. I received 0.00000025 BTC for my avg 222 MH /sec, whereas someone mining 10x less shares got 10,000x more reward that round. Even if you adjust the parameters I cannot see how it would be more profitable than deepbit for anyone who mines intermittently. Oh, btw the pool rewards graph is one day early. Unless it's March 26th somewhere already...?

Even if you adjust the parameters I cannot see how it would be more profitable than deepbit for anyone who mines intermittently. Oh, btw the pool rewards graph is one day early. Unless it's March 26th somewhere already...? Which block was this on? c being too low was fixed as of round 43, and the adjustment to the parameters was actually huge, despite the numbers looking small. Round 45 was extremely long.. 4.8m shares, though we did end up paying out 57 BTC for it. The further from the end you dropped out, the further reduced your rewards would be. Also, it may take a few rounds of mining most of the time for your score to stabilize. This is the nature of DGM. If you're just mining for 10 minutes at a time here and there, a DGM pool is probably not the best option for you but you'll have to try it out and see. Another feature of DGM is cross-round leakage. As an example, GigaVPS stopped mining hours before round 45 was over but still got 0.67 BTC at 329k shares, and he hasn't mined at all yet on round 46 but if the round ended now he'd receive 0.31 BTC for it. I believe that the graph will show anything mined on the current day UTC as belonging to the following day.

Which block was this on?
It was round 41 block 172375, before you made the fix. Got so disappointed that I dropped out for a few rounds, happily not for good! Another feature of DGM is cross-round leakage. Yea what a strange system, still got to get my brains over it. You are probably correct in that DGM is not good for intermittent mining. However, I would be surprised if the peculiarities of DGM didn't leave room for more advanced and profitable strategies than the standard pool hopping, which of course would be (and will be) another topic.

well, i was present all of block #47 and was issued .54 bitcoins for 4911 shares, the person right above me received .61 for 1685.
i first started in block #46, reached 5,901 shares, and received .38 bitcoins. some fellow named NoodlesMcGee received .41 for for 5,499.. fair enough, since it seems like he's been around for a while. in block 47, he received .32 for 1039 shares, vs (as mentioned earlier) .54 for 4911. miners were running the whole time.
i shifted some off after seeing that, seems a bit extreme.
the only time I came out ahead on a pool with a similar system was after I stopped mining

With block #47, we don't know what that person above you contributed in prior rounds. You have to look at how many shares it takes to solve the block too. You will have some earnings that carry over to the next round as well, as you pointed out.

It's been at 400 Gh for a while, peaking at like 700. It appears there is a big hopper who goes in and out.

It's a derogatory word used for ABCPool. They ticked off a few pool operators and miners with the way they hid what they were actually doing until pressed against the wall. They pool hop with their "pools" hash power, keeping any extra money earned from hopping on top of charging a fee to miners. They've since come clean and openly stated how their pool operates, but there are quite a few pool ops that are still sour about their lack of openness from the start [mostly prop pool owners since they were the ones being hopped].

Man that is crappy. It seems to kill any small profit you might get as well when were on these unlucky blocks. At least at my small mhash anyhow, I am adding more soon as my hardware arrives in the mail although I don't think it makes a lot of difference when they hop like that.

DGM, the reward method used by MaxBTC, does not suffer from hoppers. On the contrary, extra pool hashrate will only lower everyone's variance, smoothing earnings. You'll get less per block but that much more blocks will be found. This creates the same expected earnings but with less fluctuations each day. Of course the lowest variance is obtained from a PPS pool such as eleuthria's BTCGuild or forementioned ABCPool. PPS pools usually have a fee to compensate the risk they take off your shoulders, while other pools may be fee-less. Hope this helps, MC

DGM, the reward method used by MaxBTC, does not suffer from hoppers. On the contrary, extra pool hashrate will only lower everyone's variance, smoothing earnings. You'll get less per block but that much more blocks will be found. This creates the same expected earnings but with less fluctuations each day. Of course the lowest variance is obtained from a PPS pool such as eleuthria's BTCGuild or forementioned ABCPool. PPS pools usually have a fee to compensate the risk they take off your shoulders, while other pools may be fee-less. Hope this helps, MC Well said. I just responded to some questions over at Ogrr about this as well: https://ogrr.com/viewtopic.php?f=373&t=2551&p=16217#p16217

Seems the settings here are more extreme than ozco.in. I got paid for 2+ days (granted - very small amounts) after mining there with 10 Gh/s for about 3 hours. Did the same here and wonder if I will even get paid for this block

Did the same here and wonder if I will even get paid for this block According to Ozcoin's site, they use c=0.2, which should pay out for about 36m shares (~22 rounds at current difficulty). MaxBTC uses c=0.1, which would be good for 16m shares (~10 rounds). Increasing c would mean slower decay and less variance for miners but also more risk for the pool, which may be acceptable once we stop paying out the bonuses.

DGM has 2 parameters. You can decrease variance at the cost of either operator risk or maturity time. If the decay is too fast you can increase o while keeping c fixed. Of course, then people will need to understand that their payment for mining now will be spread out over the next several blocks. DGM is perfectly usable by intermittent miners, the average reward is not affected. There will be variance which has mostly a psychological effect (I'm not saying psychological factors shouldn't be considered, only that you shouldn't assume there's anything more than that). If the variance (even with optimal parameters) is too much to bear, go with PPS. However, I would be surprised if the peculiarities of DGM didn't leave room for more advanced and profitable strategies than the standard pool hopping, which of course would be (and will be) another topic.
DGM is provably hopping-proof. Block withholding attacks (including lie-in-wait) are still possible, as with any other system.

If you see anything wrong with my reasoning/math here (or zvs'), please let me know. Settings were changed from f=-0.125, c=0.1, o=0.8 in round 86 to f=-0.17647, c=0.15, o=0.85 in the rounds zvs is referring to. The pool appears to be doing what it's supposed to. There is no standard on luck but it's set to 0% = difficulty. The change in parameters and the big pool hopper not being on much in recent rounds is what's making the fee appear so high. DGM lowers variance and tries to make payments fairly evenly over time. People that understand variance mine at 0% DGM pools, and people that don't go to 5+% PPS pools and lose 5+% in the long run. The change in settings would slow the decay and maturity time. Twice the amount of shares would be needed to replace one of the previous ones. Eventually it'll reach equilibrium and everything will be 1:1 again. Also, those rounds are lucky so the pool takes more of the rewards that it had to pay out for the unlucky rounds. The geometric method is based on p, which is 1/D as the probability that the block will be solved, so 1261000 shares would still be considered "unlucky". Depending on the scores in previous rounds, it may pay out more than 50 BTC or it may pay out less. In this case, there were two lucky rounds before it and one that was still better than expected. The upward trajectory of the payouts even with fairly lucky rounds is expected as the new settings take over to find equilibrium. Once equilibrium is reached, strings of lucky rounds will usually reduce payouts.

If DGM is implemented as described in the forum or in AoBPMRS, it requires score rescaling if the average fee is changed. If no rescaling is done, it means that people who mine shortly before the change will get on average less than a 1.25% bonus, rather than 1.25% as they were promised. This has no effect on people who mine after the change. I don't think that has any relation with zvs's observations, though. Another effect, which is normal, is that changing the timescale means that miners have a new equilibrium score, which takes some time to build up to. This can cause a reduction in immediate payments, which is compensated by a higher later payment. Edit: On second thought, this effect doesn't happen on the global level. It happens per miner when the overall hashrate changes. But from a casual examination, it looks like what zvs refers to as "messed up payments" is not related at all to the parameter change. The total reward of a block depends on the luck of several previous blocks. (This is the result of cashing out previous score, it has no affect on the profitability of mining new shares). It's possible that there were a few lucky rounds before block 87, causing a reduced total payout which slowly builds up back to the equilibrium.

Hmm, I think the change combined with the earlier lucky blocks probably made the payment less than it would have been than if nothing had been changed? Wouldn't it cause the lucky blocks to stick around for longer when otherwise they may have been "passed" by the share count? In any case, yeah, it definitely caught up or w/e. It's paying out fine now.

It would be the other way around. Increasing c should make for a more rapid recovery from previous luck.

The bonuses were meant to be applied for the rounds mined in. So, if you were going to get 1 BTC with DGM, you'd get 1.0125 BTC instead. It was easily accomplished with DGM without having to add any extra bonus code by increasing f by that amount, which would be the same as increasing the DGM payout by that amount since f isn't involved in calculating the score payout = (exp(lS-ls)*(r-1)*(1-f))/p. The bonus you're referring to is for the lifetime of the share, which isn't how we're defining bonus (and I don't think most people would define it that way either), though what you're referring to is probably more fair and isn't exploitable.

I guess that's one way to look at it. To me a bonus implies that every share I mine during the bonus period gives me on average 101.25% PPS.

To be honest, we never considered that definition. It's similar to how we do donations; the amount they want to donate is a % of what their income is for that round, not what their mined shares would produce for that round over its lifetime. it's a lot easier for people to understand, calculate, and predict than it is to have the donations spread out over multiple rounds. it also makes implementation easier since no rescaling would be required whenever they decide to change their donation %.

We may consider that but we're not sure if people are ready to accept that type of donation method. Basic DGM is already confusing for many people.

I've been mining since the beta and had almost zero downtime. Very solid. Across all of my rigs with roughly 80Gh/s running through the pool I have 0.27% invalids. I'm pretty happy with that

Auto Payout requires you donate at least 0.75%. For 1.25% I think you get email notifications about your miners, and 3.5% donation pays you for invalid blocks. And correct me if i'm wrong, the asterisk beside peoples names has something to do with donating.

The * actually means that the reward has already been credited for that user (they donated 3.5%+) when the block hasn't been confirmed yet or is invalid. If the block is confirmed, no * is shown since everyone should have been credited already.

This is the only feature I miss from other pools. If you can add this in, it would be perfect.

+1 on worker password changes.
Is anyone else having problems with auto payout? I'm above 0.75% for donations but it hasn't triggered. I tried re-saving with another % value but it's still not working.

I just mentioned that. Mine has never auto paid, been at 3.5% since I started mining.

yeah, I have auto-notify on and it has never notified me about idle workers, either... so, I guess none of the notifications are working except for block solving..
anyway, some new development for the last 8 hrs or so, stats are frozen on the top miners, personal workers section, etc. dunno if that might also have some impact on it showing solved btc/nmc blocks

There have been some significant changes to the backend recently. Because of that, auto-pay was broken since last Wednesday and we were unaware of it until greatwolf mentioned it. Auto-pay should be fixed now and it'll auto-pay once the next solved block is confirmed if you're donating less than 3.5%. If you're paying 3.5% or more, it'll pay out when the next block gets solved.
Here's a few things that were added/fixed:
- Payouts to Ogrr is now supported. You can specify a percentage of your BTC earnings to go directly to Ogrr or manually transfer them over. If you don't know what Ogrr is, it's a forum that allows trading with bitcoins. - One-time donations have been added so you'll be able to do a one-time donation of coins you have in the pool to the pool. - BTC and NMC donations/features are now independent of each other. - The email/wallet locking mechanism has been tweaked. Please make sure your email/wallets are still locked (or unlocked). - Miner payout blocks shows all miners paid instead of the top 20

You'll need to turn on idle miner notification, which is currently off on your account. Then you need to go to the workers page and set the parameters for which workers you want notification on. Can you add an option to manually create the password for the worker? It shouldn't be a security issue as long as it's a different pw from others. This way I don't have to change the set up of my rigs too much.

Also, unlike most pools, abuses on your worker accounts can cause the account to be temporarily banned from mining. It looks like there are many people that want to be able to set their own passwords so we'll put a it back on the list of things to do.

Stats weren't being transferred to the web server. That should be resolved now. The problems don't affect the mining activity. 12am is about when backups occur. There has been a problem with the backup agent locking up the database and preventing updates to it for a few minutes due to the large size of the detailed shares tables. The long term solution would be to queue up the logging to survive database problems like these. To avoid downtime in the short term, we might have it skip backups of detailed shares information. Most of the stats are stored into condensed versions so damage should be limited should a disaster occur.

You could figure it out if you wanted to go through the stats for each summary page: https://maxbtc.com/statistics/block?coin=0For BTC: Work Count | 117 | Invalids | 3 | Average Difficulty | 1,547,152 | Average Shares | 1,501,689 | Total Shares | 175,697,613 | Total Block Amount | 5,704.42345396 | Total Rewarded | 5,832.56766768 | Total Donated | 30.57293529 | PPS | 0.0000333706 | PPS @ 50 BTC / Block | 0.0000324421 |
These numbers are slightly off from the totals shown on the page because they're more precise.

Yeesh, it's almost as if this pool is suffering from the same curse that MtRed suffered through a couple weeks ago. It was plagued by a string of really bad "luck" that turned out to be the result of merged mining. They disabled it and variance got back to normal.

I think the higher variance lately is a product of the lower hashrate since the big hopper left. Luck had been just about even until the last block and we've had merged mining going for several weeks now. Did Mt. Red's bad "luck" begin right when they turned merged mining on?

What error is it showing when you try to add it? Have you tried a different worker name? Perhaps it doesn't like some of the characters in the name.

It'll let you know what the problem is. In your case, the password you chose was considered weak because it contains some words it considers too common. Passwords must have at least a letter and non-letter (number or special character), can be from 8 to 128 characters, can't contain your username, and must pass the common words check unless it is sufficiently long.

Well I highly doubt what I had is any sort of common word and it wasn't part of my username. I mean part of it was a name, and doing a quick wolfram alpha search, is not common at all. I'll play around with it and see if I can get anything to work.

If you absolutely must have a certain word in the password and it's complaining about it being common, you can increase the length of the password until it gets accepted. For example, if the password "common123" was rejected, you could try "common12345678" instead. Also, it's not only common words but common names as well.

So what determines something being common? Or is that something internal that you don't know the specifics of?

It's based on analysis done by others using leaked passwords on social sites. The common words database used contains: - Lists of top 20-100 words used in cracked passwords from various sources - Top common names according to certain sites - Dictionary words used by password crackers Common names are on the list because the analysis showed many cracked passwords contained common names. The list is English-centric so common international words will probably sneak by.

Now that there's been a few blocks I have a question. Why does your estimated btc immediately drop after a block is solved and rewards are given out even if I've been continuously mining? I haven't experienced that at any other DGM pools.

We originally allowed this per worker but it was changed to a single generated password for all workers to prevent people from choosing weak passwords that can reveal their main password. Also, unlike most pools, abuses on your worker accounts can cause the account to be temporarily banned from mining.
It looks like there are many people that want to be able to set their own passwords so we'll put a it back on the list of things to do.
So when will this be re-enabled? It sounds like you already have the code in-place to do this.

That's how DGM works. Every time a payout is made, you lose some of your score/reward for the next estimated payout. I'm not sure if there are any sites that show a graph of your historical estimated rewards or update the estimates as frequently as we do (approximately every minute) so you wouldn't notice it at other pools unless you kept track of it manually. The amount of dropoff depends on the dynamic fee and cross-round leakage. If you've been using Eclipse, I believe the leakage is 0.99, which will have little dropoff every time you get paid. The lower the dropoff, the longer it will take to get your rewards to fully mature and you'll need to mine for a longer time period to reach equilibrium. Meni uses the analogy of a capacitor: In the capacitor analogy, every miner has a capacitor which is charged as he submits shares, and its charge level affects how much he gets per future block found.
If you read the method's description you'll see that finding a block has two effects: 1. Giving out rewards to miners who currently have a score 2. Decrease the score of miners who currently have a score It has no effect whatsoever on future miners (or on the rewards of current miners for shares they will submit in the future - only those that they submitted in the past).

There's a DDoS in progress. The network provider won't allow any new connections to the site but those that use miners that use keep-alive connections are still able to mine until the connection closes.

You don't happen to be on Rackspace do you? A bunch of our services went down for a few minutes until they nulled the offending IP.

Hi there. Just wanted to say that I moved my systems (1GH) to MaxBTC because of the nice site (GUI / Stats are awesome).
One problem though, it looks that the idle miner notifications aren't working. I have enabled them for three workers, donated 1.25% and enabled underperforming miners notification in my account.

The lower the dropoff, the longer it will take to get your rewards to fully mature and you'll need to mine for a longer time period to reach equilibrium.
I wouldn't say that. In the language of the triangle, lowering the dropoff moves you away from the black line and into the blue line; while the black line is characterized by low maturity time, it can still be arbitrarily decreased on the blue line. The main advantage of using aggressive parameters (high dynamic fee, low leakage) is decreasing the variance of small pools.

Thanks for joining. It looks like you've set it up properly except for the test worker. Was that the one you were testing the idle miners notification with?

I haven't seen that and it should help people understand how the different variables come into play. I was thinking along the lines of sites with extremely high o and extremely low c (resulting in a low r/high maturity time) to explain the low variance the poster was seeing.

Unfortunately, no fix yet for the rotten luck we're having.

High o and low c does not result in low r. Even in the limiting case o=1, c=0 (which is exponential PPLNS) you can have r whatever you want. r is determined by the ratio between how close c is to 0 and how close o is to 1.

Ahh yes. I'm more used to dealing with log(r) and log(o) than fiddling with the other parameters.

Getting domain name expired. Thanks for reporting that. The domain should be back up. If it's not, clear your cache. Apparently, GoDaddy waits until your domain is expired to attempt to renew, and if there is any problem at all in billing you, you're shut down. Might be nice if they renewed a day or so before you expired so if there were any problems you'd have time to correct them. Anyway, I needed a reminder to move after the SOPA crap so we'll be off GoDaddy soon. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thats what people do when things turn unlucky, being unlucky and losing more than half your hashrate tends to make things even worse short term.

Correct, but in my case I could leave it online and waste peoples hardware or take it offline and work on it while miners went to backup. I definitely think my approach was the lessor of the 2 evils. It worked out best this way and my pool is prring along great now

Yeah, I'm not too sure what's going on but everything appears to be functioning correctly and in sync with the network. The competing blocks have all been found within 20 seconds of each other and blockchain.info is seeing them (both ours and the competitors') within a minute after being found. I'm not sure what the norm is but a quick browse of the orphans at blockchain.info shows a lot of orphans recently and seems to indicate that the smaller pool usually loses out against a bigger one.
Bitcoind was restarted to clear out a potentially slow selection of connected nodes and the number of connections were increased. Hopefully Gavin's not doing another one of the required updates to bitcoind and not informing smaller pools.

Nothing mining pool specific, though there was a security update recently everyone should do if they haven't yet. (0.6.2) Hopefully Gavin's not doing another one of the required updates to bitcoind and not informing smaller pools.
Two sides to that statement, pools need to stay aware of what's going on and recently the devs have actually started posting in the mining thread if there is pool specific stuff - ie BIP16. I idle in the developers IRC chanel and subscribed to the dev mailing list ages ago, just to keep up - informing pools isn't anywhere I could find in developers job descriptions . There is talk of making a "poolop mailing list" so the devs can pass pool specific info along in a timely manner. talk...so far Headsup - most devs care about bitcoin/bitcoind and no have interest in "monolithic pools", big ones or small ones -I feel this has changed slightly over the last few months, mainly due to the devs need for consensus from miners to do the recent BIP changes.

the pool, i guess... my donation total is about 50% of what i've gotten from invalid blocks though even if you threw out the invalids, the luck is about 2x what it should be it's more blocks solved than eclipsemc over the last 4 days, w/ about 1/5th the hash rate

Nothing mining pool specific, though there was a security update recently everyone should do if they haven't yet. (0.6.2)
We've been at 0.6.2.2 since a few days after the announcement of 0.6.2, which we initially heard about thanks to you. I like the direction the bitcoind code is going but it's hard to argue that Gavin hasn't fouled up in how he's been dealing with the recent releases, with many things being done in secret. BIP16 was initially stalled after it was announced while network consensus was being done. Then when Deepbit finally switched over to BIP16, he gives pools two weeks to switch over to an unstable beta known to have lockup problems. A few hours before the BIP16 deadline, the "stable" 0.6.0 release is announced after 2-3 hours of the "it compiles and runs" release candidate testing. 0.6.2 comes out of nowhere and pools must update or else a DoS or fork may occur; have you seen the kind of changes 0.6.1 made? That is a major change from a deployment POV and needs heavy testing to make sure that there are no deadlocks and that no corruption occurs. How much stress testing did it really have? I've already noticed one area in the code where the locking differs between 0.6.0 and 0.6.2, which may be due to bad code updating (it's very easy to mess up), but have not investigated it. And I've barely looked at the 0.6.2 code. Backports were mentioned but no info was given on where they could be found. Were 0.6.1 or 0.6.2 really ready or were they rushed? Given the changes to 0.6.1, it might have been better to have a 0.6.0.1 patch instead. We were already (accidently) using a seemingly stable pre-0.6.1 build so the switch to 0.6.2 wasn't a big deal. If pools/services were made aware of the risk with 0.6.1, I don't think many would have updated right away. I idle in the developers IRC chanel and subscribed to the dev mailing list ages ago, just to keep up - informing pools isn't anywhere I could find in developers job descriptions . There is talk of making a "poolop mailing list" so the devs can pass pool specific info along in a timely manner. talk...so far The mailing list would be helpful. Even a sticky in all bitcoin subforums indicating the current version and its release notes would help. New version or release candidate annoucements usually get drowned in the sea of threads.

The displayed info is usually cached for about a minute. To get an accurate count, you'll need to stop mining for about 2 minutes and then refresh your stats. However, the cached numbers shouldn't be off by as much as you're showing. Your stale rate is also much higher than most users. I believe the majority of them are seeing < 1% stales. Are you going through any proxies? Can you reset the stats on your miners and see if it still diverges?

I've got less than 50 invalids in ~7million shares. 30 of those were from one card in a 6hr period because it was failing (100+oC).
systems that used to use poclbm but use phoenix (with phatk2) now:
3425484 shares 14880 stales
0.4325123736906909%
systems that have always used phoenix:
3269499 shares 3344 stales
0.1021741647857841%
total:
6694983 shares 18224 stales
0.2714648900294598%
current round:
9950 shares 11 stales
0.1104306796506375%

High invalid rate aside... I'm still getting a very large discrepancy between CGminer and maxbtc reported invalid rate. It does seem that maxBTC it telling cgminer a share valid, then deciding it's not.
Can you turn on shares logging on CGminer for about an hour and send it to me? An hour should be enough to show the discrepancy, correct?

Sure, I'll get that going a bit later. I checked a few of the shares at the beginning and end of the log file and they are all logged on our side. The share.log has 4314 entries and the server also logged 4314 entries so I'm assuming it's all there. However, 41 of the shares are logged on our side as stale and the remaining 4273 were accepted. All the shares in the share.log file are shown as accepted. Cross referencing with the merged mining (NMC) side, the shares were shown as accepted and not stale. Since only one result can be sent back to the miner, an overall accepted response was returned instead of the stale BTC one. If all merged mining results were stale, you'll get back a stale response instead of accepted. This is why you're seeing more accepted shares on your side than what the server is showing. The log isn't showing any discrepancies in # of submitted shares as suggested in your original post. If you have a log that shows that sort of discrepancy, go ahead and send that and I'll take a look.

Thanks for looking into that. At least now I have an explanation Didn't mean to infer there was a discrepancy in submitted shares, just the rejected ones.

(as a corollary, I would prefer to have accurate BTC stats. Don't much care for NMC so would be quite happy if NMC accepted shares aren't reported when BTC is stale)

What's happening when you try to log in? Your account wouldn't have been deleted or disabled. Did you set up 2-factor auth before? You can pm me with the details.

Eligius sends everything after like a week of inactivity...that would be cool.? Thanks for the suggestion, Marty. King, we'll be adding autopayouts on inactivity very soon. If you're not dying for the cash, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't mind waiting for that to go live and then you'd just receive the remaining balance automatically. The required period of inactivity will probably be closer to 2 weeks as miners could potentially continue to receive payouts for up to that amount of time.

Best, gigavps

Hi maxbtc,
It seems your rollntime implementation is incorrect.
Thanks for the heads up. We're a bit busy right now but have fixed the headers and are adding a few more options. We'll roll it out once they're tested and ready.

I agree with shep, , wow 111 hours at 150ghs, can someone explain why this block took so long? I was watching this a couple days ago and noticed that on the stats page of the block, on the left about 2/3 way down , it says "BLOCKS LEFT" XXXX, I saw this go from 3 to 2 to 1 , then it went back up to like 1800 or something like that. Does that mean we had to go back thru all the blocks again to find that one block that solves it? I am confused about this one. yeah 1.4 coins for 4 days worth of work. Bad luck all around this week.

You don't work on the same block. Everytime the network finds a new block, you start over. It's just luck.

As Aseras said, it's luck. The good luck we had before had to eventually end and be offset by longer rounds, though these past few have been a bit too long. The blocks left you mention are the number of blocks left before the next difficulty change. Every 2016 blocks, the difficulty will be readjusted by the network so that it'll take about two weeks to solve 2016 blocks (or a block every 10 minutes).

Vardiff just needs to be tested, which will be after we get 0.7.x tested. Stratum, maybe.. more likely stratum than GBT. MaxBTC has been neglected a bit lately as we've been focusing on the exchange, which is nearly ready.

We've had to push our downtime a bit. The pool is still up now. An update will be posted here once we commence with the maintenance.

Thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble. I'm looking in to this now. Hopefully, I'll have fixes for you later today.

The ogrr forum link there doesn't work. The contact page also fails with: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
when submitting a contact request. Lastly, is there any chance of allowing dots `.` in worker names instead of hyphens `-`?

wow apologies for missing all these replies to this thread! I've gotta sort out my notifications. Guys, to be very honest, the pool has been somewhat neglected as we've focused our attention on Kraken.com. It will probably be 2 months before we are able to make any significant improvements (stratum, vardiff, etc) and until then we'll do our best at just keeping it up and running. In the meantime, there are some other great pools out there that might better serve your needs but if you want to stick around, we're glad to have you Please feel free to PM me directly if you have any trouble with two-factor, the support system, etc. Actually, it's probably better to just PM me than use the support system at all. DGM settings were discussed earlier in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68734.msg814952#msg814952Lastly, is there any chance of allowing dots `.` in worker names instead of hyphens `-`? Possibly but could you tell me why that change is important to you? with your pool i get stale rate of about 4.6%! This is much to high, because it´s lost reward. with other pools, i am on stale rate around 0.16%. what can i do about it? I'll PM you now for more info.

Lastly, is there any chance of allowing dots `.` in worker names instead of hyphens `-`? Possibly but could you tell me why that change is important to you? It's really more for consistency as a fallback server. This way if I do use maxbtc as backup I only need to change the ip of my miner to point to it. Otherwise I'd have to change the worker name as well and that becomes another room for error.

Also, http://www.maxbtc.com now points to a godaddy web page, and https://www.maxbtc.com is completely down. As well as the pools randomly not working. Probly would want to check into that, cause as though its not your highest prority right now, I would bet it isnt your lowest either considering its basiucally free money as long as its up. --sh0cked

Yeah, not sure what happened to our big miner but with the global hashrate where it is, it's going to be a long time before we solve a block without him. I think we'll need to add stratum support to grow the userbase/recover hashrate but at the moment, we're focused entirely on Kraken.

In addition, though, it would be nice if the "Top Miners" section could be looked at and fixed. Those numbers haven't updated for a very long time. I think without being able to have confidence in those numbers, it's hard to be confident that the other numbers in the header and stats page are accurate. For new miners considering joining and for users on the fence for leaving, I think confidence is very important.

Also, for that matter, the Forum tab points to something that doesn't exist and the Contact feature has another problem. Perhaps the forum link should just point here and the contact tab be fixed or removed.

Hey all, I regret to inform you that we'll be shutting down MaxBTC at 12pm PDT on Saturday, August 3rd. Please redirect your mining effort and update your payout address if necessary. If you're looking for another DGM pool, I'd recommend https://eclipsemc.com/Hope to see you all again very soon for the launch of Kraken.com. Jesse
