[ANN] CoinLab Protected Pool

This thread was opened 2 months ago... that's not what I would call "a couple"

2 = a couple, last time I checked =)

Coinlab is working diligently on the client and selling compute jobs based on my conversations with Chris.

This is going to be a very nice income for all of us with GPU clusters.

My experience so far in dealing with the folks at Coinlab has been top notch. This is not another fly-by-night BTC operation.

They are a legitimate corporation with funding and expert personnel.

I can only hope, cuz many others promised the same and we all got screwed in the end =/
Would be nice if someone actually follows through in the btc community =)

[CoinLab]

Let the miners decide. they will have to experiment with some cards are good for x work and some cards are good for y work

x work pays .5btc per work unit (7970 taking an hour)
y work pays .0003 btc per work unit.  (nvidia good for this type)
z work pays .00001690 btc per unit (hell, a cpu might work )


I am just trying to think of the KISS method.  
offer the work at price x (accessed thru json of course) and miners will mine it. if they are not profitable, they wont mine it....

giving an estimate of btcperhour is nice, but until you actually do the work, you wont know.

I second this.  Take the BOINC approach and create a standard workunit and let the crunchers figure out the comparisons.  Believe me, they'll have it worked out PDQ.

OK, I'll share your thoughts with the team.

IS there any update in ETA as to when the client software will be avail / when these HPC projects are coming around? I remember a couple months ago, it was quoted "a couple months" ... well its a couple months later and no word regarding either of those =(

We're planning to release the Beta of our client software on 11/1, with the first HPC test work units coming on soon after.

HPC Wire just ran an article about us!

Well, they sort of got it right.  I do hope that this article will get some interest for you guys.  We built it, now let's hope they come.

just to avoid confusion (I read 11/1 as 11th of January)
I think you mean 1st November?
I know it is a minor thing, but in this international community keeping confusion to a minimum is a bonus

Good work on the article

Thanks Jim - that is just my point, if we acknowledge this stuff is written differently in different countries we can do stuff like write 1 November to reduce confusion - I have been doing this for some time now.
My intention was not to take the thread offtopic or be silly
maybe I should have just pmmed....

Hello Coinlab, your servers are/were doing something funny again. They started around 1830 UTC yesterday. I noticed at around 2330 UTC and switched over to BTCguild. If you guys can confirm you were playing around and you've stopped now I'll switch back.

ETA desired feature: send an email out whenever you mess around with the servers, explaining when you started and when you're likely to finish!

[CleverMiner]

Server connection has been awful here.

How much can CoinLab handle ?

Yep.  We're American, and I forget that we sometimes do things backwards from the rest of the world.  

The client is slated to come out on November 1st, 2012

I am running a test right now, but from my initial observations i do get more leaked shares to other pools using cgminer.

Doesn't your miner get work from other pools if it is not busy enough?

I dont see the rejects as much.  

here is after about 16 hours of running 2 identical rigs. one against ozcoin pps and one against coinlab. both rigs have a plethora of backup pools and i will get those stats when i shut down cgminer.

as you can see the rig pointed at coinlab is not running as hard (mostly 98%, not 99%), but overall it has had more accepted shares so far.
