Coinlab:

1.  Have you found many miners with linux64 -> nvidia cards?

2.  You said the custom client is gui only..  does that include this linux->nvidia test?  



Please give us more information about the hpc work.   I myself am getting pretty nervous about the new client.  


 

bump:

It looks like we won't be able to fill the requested capacity with all linux+nvidia machines.  Waiting to hear back from the customer about AMD support.

What do you mean by GUI only?  The first version released will be the Windows version, and then we'll release a linux version a couple weeks later (this version will be more geared towards pro miners like yourself).

What information would you like about the HPC work?  The customer still hasn't delivered the finalized software, so some of this information may not be ready for a couple weeks.

Can the client be run at the command line?

Isn't the client supposed to have an API? Because AMD drivers already require running X, the GUI requirement shouldn't be too much of a problem if the client can be accessed from the API.

I'm not sure, our CTO is out of town, but I'll be able to answer this Monday. How important to you is being able to run the client from command line?

Bitcoin Friday! It's 12/9 so we're now paying out 129% PPS for a limited time!

To me, for windows, it would be very nice to have a command line alternative, that could work w/ scripts n such. Kinda like how cgminer does.

Then it would be no diference to cgminer

My hashrate was reported correctly (6000-6100MH/s) during 100% PPS, but when it dropped back to 95% my hashrate is now reported as 5700-5900. I read about similar problems in this thread earlier. Nothing critical if the shares are still counted properly.

.95/5700*6000= 1
(95% / 5700MH/s * 6000MH/s = 100%)
So, the hashrate is also taking the bonus into account. Yeah that needs fixed.

[TheHarbinger]

I was thinking the same, that the hashrate was the effective hashrate, not the total.  If this is the case, both need to be shown.

[juhakall]

I'm a bit confused about the fee reduction bonus. The following is stated in OP:

Users who submit at least 1,125,000 shares in one week will be paid at the increased rate of 97% PPS.  1,125,000 shares is equivalent to 100% uptime with 10GH/s for one week.  Double the hash rate will earn this many shares in half the time.  (Ex. If you have 15 GH/s, you will reach 1,125,000 shares 66% of the way through the week.) The new week begins each Monday.  Early on-request payouts will be credited at 95% PPS unless you have already earned 1,125,000 shares that week.  

Yet the week just changed in stats. I thought I still had a day to gather those 1.125M shares, which I could've just managed to achieve. Is the actual fee bonus calculation done differently? I've only been mining for five days now at CoinLab.

EDIT: Never mind, I missed the announcement on second post. It's weird to have conflicting information on those two first posts. Guess I don't get the fee reduction for my first week then, even though I averaged over 10GH/s.

@CoinLab,

When we should expect payouts for the 'Week 2012-11-04'?

2 weeks!!!

bitcoin midnight is almost upon us....

at which time my profit(after elec) for 58G goes from about 120 a day down to about 25

16 btc day  176$ - 65 = 110$
8 btc day  88$ - 65 = 23$

OUCH

min profit:
58g  2.50*58  = 145$  -65 = 80$

obviously the payout cannot go by hashrate must be usd/share



CoinLab:
Please give us more information about the minimum profit.  How much USD per share will we get?  When paying in btc, what exchange rate will you use(what time of week)?

This would be very interesting, any coments from coinlab?

[GenTarkin]

I just hope they will deliver on their 2.50$/gh at this point... =/ since we dont really know the financial shape they are in and it sounds like they are having a hard time getting HPC work lined up. We may never even see the protected shares side... =(

Any paid distributed computing is unlikely to have "shares" in the same way mining does, or at the very least not directly comparable.

That said, I am curious to see what they have ready to go (if anything) for after the reward halving.

The silence is deafening.

 Veteran's Day was yesterday, so quite a few businesses are closed today here in the US.  So I wouldn't read to much into no forum activity from CoinLab today.

But this is a pretty good example of why I am a firm believer in automatic payouts.
