Wohoooo  
We have performance graphs!

You beat me to the announcement!

Performance graphs are up on the web interface now.  Please let us know what you think: this is the first version.  We plan to have an "advanced charts" page that lets you select what time range to view.

Go to http://pool.coinlab.com/partners/protected to check it out.

not yah..  now i have to scroll to get to the numbers that i have to copy and paste into a spreadsheet to get the numbers that matter..


shares per day
shares per worker
btc per day
btc per worker
blocks found per worker
pps rate for shares
pps rate for shares when the diff changes
etc
etc.

graphs are luxury best put on a seperate page...

o, has anyone tried this on an iphone, the footer takes up 40% of the page in landscape.  you can only read one or two lines of numbers

Jim, would you like a page that is just the bare stats in an unstyled HTML table?  That would be easy for us to make and would also render fine on mobile.

Nah, I like it on the same page, but it could be moved on the left side under the logo, there is plenty of unused space.

Yep, trying to view the page on iPhone is useless. Maybe the footer can also be made a bit smaller.

PLEASE YES   simple table.  lots of stat porn.

anyone else seeing a 0 Mh rate?

at appears shares are being accepted.

Code:

ESTIMATED HASH RATE:

0.0 MH/s
(based on a 30 minute trailing average)
Warning. The last share earned was over forever ago.

Raw stats page is live!  -  here's the URL

We're looking into the hashrate estimator bug - as far as we can tell it's only your account, and your shares are going up, so it looks like it just the estimator.

How can we be sure that all that nice computational power will not be used for malicious purpose.  Maybe not from you, but suppose that you rent that power to someone, how can you know what it will serve for ?  This could be use like a giant password craking tool !

just wondering

You can't.  Deal with it.  You are selling your hashing power, no different than any other pool.  If that makes you uncomfortable, you can either use P2Pool, or solo-mine.

Anybody got monday payment? Havent recieved mine yet.

Since when is password cracking malicious anyway ?  ... It's surely not in Bitcoin land.

Yes at 2012-10-23 00:00:01 i got my money. Payment is only for values > 1 BTC.

I have erned atleast 1.9 BTC at this time, but have not recieved payment.

Its redicilous, have sent to coinlab two pm's, no answer, one has been sent ~ 14 hours ago, second ~ 3 hours ago. Coinlab has been here, but no answer and no BTC in my walet.

PM'ed you.  Your balance was less than 1BTC for last week's period, but you have since earned more.

Thank you, sorry for misunderstanding. Wrong time zones can make difficult calculation

Fine, I can agree for many reason, but what if my wallet.dat got stolen, even with a pretty long and complex password, such power could crack it in a manner of minutes  :S   

True ?

Nope. If you have 8 or more characters in your password and it's not an obvious dictionary word, it can be extremely hard to crack and becomes exponentially more with each extra character. If you look at the vanity gen software, generating a word with 8 characters can take months with current machines that can do 2GH. If you have a password with something like 20 characters, then unless your software has a flawed encryption mechanism, the only weakness is you telling someone the password.

I just want to say you guys are doing a nice job so far! As always with new projects there are bugs along the way but I feel you guys have stepped up and addressed them in a quick and professional manor. Im very happy to be a part of this project!

My question is how things going with regard to other GPU work? ASIC is due in about a month (at the earliest) and within a week or so after that GPU mining will be gone. At that point I will have enough loyalty points to last me about 8 more weeks but at a reduced profit (however still a profit! ) Im just curious as to how close we are to doing other work with our systems?

None of the HPC consumers we are talking to are interested in doing password cracking.  We work directly with the companies who want to run their kernels on our cluster, and will be doing this for the foreseeable future.  We don't have any plans to yet, but we might consider renting the cluster to respectable white-hat security firms like Symantec. However, we definitely wont be selling compute to anonymous sketchy h4x0rz.

We are crunching away hard towards our self-imposed 11/1 deadline for the custom client. It's going to be tight, but we're still optimistic to get it out on time.

The first HPC test jobs should come online within a few weeks of the client release.  We're shooting for the first paid HPC jobs to come online by the end of the year. (But there might be some test work bonuses sooner...  )

We'll be shooting to get the linux version of the client out by the end of November.  We're planning on making a stand-alone as well as a Linux OS image that you'll be able to put on a USB drive and plug into a machine with no OS or hard drive and get up and mining.

Very cool! Thanks for the update, looking forward to the client release!
