Everybody Hold On to Your Panties!!!!!

[xZork]

Just need a confirmation... decent transaction fees too.

[hurricandave]

Soo... I've been thinkin 'bout "useless" spreadsheet stuff!
 Who has confirmed our block solves first and how many times.
 How many of our block solves saw the first confirmation solve turn into an orphan race.
 Who / how many times, were first to include our pool payouts in a block solve.
 Yes, I know! "USELESS INFO" Damn you coffee!!!!

[Jethroz]

Nice!
A block frenzy would have been a nice sight though. 

[gecox22]

51.90% Luck for the last 5 UGH!!!! Lets hope some green start coming our way. Glad that block is over though.

 Who has confirmed our block solves first and how many times.

That one will be purely random (based on network %)

How many of our block solves saw the first confirmation solve turn into an orphan race.

We've orphaned at least a couple of others
Bitfury comes to mind

Who / how many times, were first to include our pool payouts in a block solve.
 Yes, I know! "USELESS INFO" Damn you coffee!!!!

Payout transactions ... never really noticed who confirms ours.
I think we've only confirmed our own payout txn once or twice since it's usually quick to be confirmed
(I'm surprised at how regularly it seems it's confirmed in less than 10 minutes)

Edit: I always prioritise it so it is (first) in the block we are building so we will confirm it if our next block arrives after the payout before it was confirmed

I am sure this has been answered before so if it has I am sorry for asking it again but how does the percentage work?

In my workers tab it shows I have a block percentage of 0.296% currently and the block we just mined was just over 0.35. Is this the percentage used in payout? Because the last block shows a reward of 0.18%.

Not saying anything is wrong just trying to learn how the percentages are made.

I was playing with this pool thought it would be intersting.  And yea ouch it's starting to hurt on luck.   

I'm hoping we see some change I can understand why it varies.   But we can all agree almost 50 percent is not a fun to sit at.

[RealMalatesta]

Seems luck offers a bit of compensation...

[sloopy]

Yes she does, that dirty girl.

What is the tilde ` for on the blocks page?

Thats what i am talking about!

FIRST BLOCK OF DAY!

Now just 2 more that are on the light green side and back to 100%

The '~' means that ckdb hasn't recalculated the stats for the block.
It does it after the next confirm or after about 13minutes (whichever is later)

Basically the reason is that when a block is found, ckdb stores all the current 'running' counters and resets them back to zero.
However, there's a number of reasons why that number may be off by a small amount.
The simplest one is that shares can still be accepted for the current work, after the block is found until I get the confirm from ckpool - since ckpool decides if a share is accepted, not ckdb - and this also could have affected the counters back at the start of the block.

Once the 'aging' function of the workinfo containing the block has occurred, ckpool certainly wont send any more valid shares for the workinfo, so at that point, ckdb recalculates the correct stats for the block and updates it.

e.g. for the last block

Code:

[2015-10-16 11:27:18.027+11] summarise_blocks() block 379092, stats confirmed 5488381639/10979862/4739416/9795/12275

What a nice block at 9% gotta love those..!!!!!!  Now lets hope it doesn't follow like the last go around.

I'll be doing a ckpool restart in a few minutes (before the payout comes due)

I'm switching the main bitcoind up to 0.11.1 and that switch will mean I'll have to restart ckpool (after bitcoind has finished restarting)

It will only be a reconnect in cgminer for most (though as always some few will failover)

Edit: done

Edit2: oh I also increased the block size from 850,000 to 888,888 - for luck

BLOCK!!!! YAY! at least it wasn't red!!!!. Come one Green show us some LOVE! Luck is creeping slowly back up!

Heh Eligius are liars and thieves
No idea why anyone would mine there.

LOL, that's people mining with an invalid address I think.

= donations.

scam

If you have a way to track these users down, you're welcome to share it.

On my pool we don't keep users connected with invalid connection details so we can steal their mining power = BTC.
Invalid address miners are not allowed to mine.

...
And as others have mentioned, it's not like rejecting the connections is going to benefit anybody.
...

Although you may think it wise to mine with a single account and no backup, most miners have realised for MANY years that is a foolish thing to do.

If one pool/account is rejected or fails when mining, cgminer (used by the vast majority of BTC miners on the planet) switches over to the secondary or later accounts it has been provided with.

If someone is dropping money on the street, it isn't the job of whoever finds it to hunt them down even if it is possible.
...

Well ... a few years ago a guy walking through a centre about 30m ahead of me dropped a small amount of paper.

When I got to it I noticed it contained cash.
I picked it up and it included over $100 ...

Though you may consider that a bad thing to do, I chased after him and gave it to him.
He hadn't even realised he'd dropped it.

And wizpants final comment

...
The accusations of stealing based on a well established policy are a bit absurd, and honestly I don't want to hear it.
...
I'm not going to implement valid address/worker name checking in the pool software.  It's not worth the time and effort when there are plenty of other things I can dedicate my time to.

Well established policy of stealing

Well ... it is a fee free pool ... where no one makes the expected payout ... for years ... they gotta get paid somehow for all their costs running the pool right?

[markBG]

many pools accept P2SH addresses as users , but don't give shares for work, because can verify and recognize only P2PKH and give shares .
Kano isn't such pool. CKpool code accept P2SH. Am I right?

Kano,

I think my question was over looked, would you mind shedding some light on it for me.

Thanks

It has nothing to do with the payout.

[markBG]

I think Block % is just a % from all shares since last found block. This is not conected with  reward which is calculated by mined shares for last 5Nd where N is current mining difficulty for bitcoin
