[burnside]

Hashrate: 436.78 kH/s   Workers: 1   Round Shares: 504 (1.4% stale)   Estimate: Ł0.41562211

Why is it taking forever to mine on here shares etc seems really ubba slow compared to others tested and rating 3 out of 10

Even tho this is a test for 3 to 4 hours this is no where near cutting it and giving good results.

I know my hash is not the best in the world but other places within 3 to 4 hours would of mined around 60k shares

Any advise on why its so low on here.

Also within posting this post my earnings and estimate are dropping and not increasing.

Estimate: Ł0.41562211 before making this post
Estimate: Ł0.40337119 in between making post
Estimate: Ł0.40663006 Round Shares: 551
Estimate: Ł0.40536190 Round Shares: 554 (1.3% stale)
Estimate: Ł0.40433025 Round Shares: 558 (1.3% stale)
Estimate: Ł0.40131831 Round Shares: 565 (1.2% stale)   

How the £$%^^& is that meant to work out more shares for the round and am actually earning less this does not quite work out
   

Looks like am done here testing over until admins respond to why and whats going on with pool

I think the other folks here probably got you pointed in the right direction, but I thought I'd answer as well.

First ... different pools have different "sized' shares.  Ours are larger because larger shares reduce the request counts and thus help us with our DoS issues.

Second ... The estimate is just that, an estimate, and it's based on the current round.  Which means that if others in the round "out hash" you, their portion of the round grows and yours shrinks.  Using rounds here is somewhat misleading, because it's based on the last 500,000 shares, not the actual round boundaries, but you get the idea.  For the real, final shares and payout data you can look at the blocks solved page after the solved blocks have been confirmed.

Third ... I agree that the slower payout kind of blows.  But that's the nature of PPLNS.  If you need an instant payout you can always pay 4% or 5% at a PPS pool. 

Hope that helps.

The changes you made to the back-end seemed to have help my connection times, less drops also.
Thankx

Good to hear.

Hi Burnside,

Thanks for your server. I just noticed today that I have an unbelievable number of stale shares.

Round Shares: 1 (200% stale)

I'm using minerd from within the litecoin wallet interface with scantime of 99.

Help, please?

I didn't know you could do that. 

Can you PM me your username?  I'll see if there's anything in the logs.

Cheers.

You should be able to delete workers now on the account page.

I also added a new workers stats display to the stats page.  Shows round shares and stales per worker. 

Cheers.

pool is dead ffffffffffff

pool is dead ffffffffffff

Ugh.  It came back on it's own with the auto restarts.

I'm gonna have to make a farm of 10 pushpoold's.

Pushpool hasn't even crashed once here ... It did however die every 15 mins on my testserver. Strange bug is strange

It was totally stable before the attacks.  Ran for months without a restart.  It doesn't make much sense to me either.

Hi
I am having a problem with the pool.
my current hashing power is nearly 1MH/s using GPUs. but the pool only shows ~300kh/s. is something wrong?

hash rate is based on number of share submits in a round as far as I can tell.  wait until after you've started a round to check the speed on the pool.

Does number of submitted shares relies only on hash rate?
Because on burnside's I get ~3shares/min, but on coinotron I get nearly 10 times that.
both using cgminer.

It depends on the share difficulty and your hash rate.  Burnside has a higher share difficulty than coinotron, so shares take longer to mine and you get less per minute.  At the same time, you get paid more per share.

I don't see you on there right now, but there's a 10-15 minute lag between when you start hashing, and when the pool has enough data to determine your hashrate.

If you waited 15 minutes or so, and are still seeing issues, then yeah, we have some kind of problem somewhere.  Probably your shares are not all being accepted for some reason.

And yeah... shares here are 2x or 4x the difficulty of some other pools, which means you'll see 2x or 4x fewer shares, depending on what pool you're comparing to.  The payouts should come out the same, or a little higher since we're only taking donations instead of a fixed percentage.

Cheers.

Anyone else getting a ridiculous amount of stales?

[burnside]

Anyone else getting a ridiculous amount of stales?

Had some issues with the DoS service today where the requests were coming through crazy slow, causing lots of stales.

I'm going to have to ditch the DoS service for the pushpool port in-between attacks... it's just not worth all the issues.  I'm out of town this weekend, but will tackle the change monday when I'm back.

Cheers.

Awesome, thanks burnside!
