My GUIMiner is reporting Connection Problems, what's going on? Anybody else with this issue?
June 13, 2011, 07:58:06 AM
My gpu usage drops every 1-2minutes to 0% for a few seconds, and diablo miner says "ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out"
what's up?

guiminer is complaining of this: 2011-06-13 08:57:15: Listener for "card1": 13/06/2011 08:57:15, upstream RPC error
over and over again.

btcguild.com running again, both of my miners working again at 2.5% donation. Thanks, eleuth*.

btcguild.com is loading again, share counts are zeroed out and hash count not working, tho.

attempt to connect to http://www.btcguild.com gives error "Failed to connect to UK BTCGuild" when I attempt to load "My Account" page (10:43 AM UTC)
June 13, 2011, 05:41:30 AM
ok, the https:// site partially loads, with message "Failed to connect to UK BTCGuild" in content area on front page.
June 13, 2011, 05:40:51 AM
Site down?
June 13, 2011, 05:40:16 AM
well, https://www.btcguild.com is "Loading" in firefox...probably not up at this point.
Miners are inconsistent with connection: one of my miners, (phoenix on pyopencl ubuntu 11.04) which has been solid all day is now at 0 Khash/sec. I will have to restart it.
The other (win 7) is working.

Yep, both of my current miners are going idle about every two to three minutes.
June 13, 2011, 04:27:43 AM
hmmmmm.... 6% rejected shares, i think because of the idle miners. This is not good 
June 13, 2011, 03:45:55 AM
just the heads up
http://btcguild.com/ shows empty page, thought site wasn't working because moving to a new location until i decided to check www.btcguild.com few hours later

When it doubt, use SSL... https://btcguild.com has worked when earlier http:// was down.
-----------------------
I just started getting more idle miners and random TCP errors. I may have to switch pools again of this continues. Are the severs overloaded or what?
Looking at my logs, the last maybe hour or so I've gotten idle miners every 2-3 minutes...

Didn't want to create a whole new topic, so maybe someone here will notice and answer a few questions. First off, what exactly is the "stale" count? What is an average stale count for a round or per some period of time? How do I prevent them? Thank you for the help

Statistics has nasty dark corners.
If an event has probability X per attempt, your chances of getting the event after Y attempts is not X * Y. It is 1 - ((1/X)^Y).
Because this is exponentially decreasing, events that happen before the 50% time will come quicker than the events after it are late. As in, it takes more attempts to get from 50% to 51% than it does from 49% to 50%.
Consider rolling a die. You have a 1 in 6 chance of getting a 6. If you want at least a 30% chance of getting a single 6, you only need to roll it twice. If you want a 50% chance, you need 4 rolls. If you want at least a 70% chance, you have to roll it 7 times.
Moving the odds from 50% to 30% saves you 2 rolls, but moving it from 50% to 70% requires 3 more. If you look at the 1 in 6 and 5 in 6 odds, they are even worse, 1 roll vs. 10 (savings of 3 vs. loss of 6).
Now instead of a die with 6 sides, imagine a bitcoin hash with 2.436 * 10^15 sides...

The thing is, and I've said this about 50 times in various threads around these boards, you can't make any claims about a single event.
If there is some other thread you can point me to where all of this is already covered that would be appreciated.
I originally just wanted to know if there was something going on with reporting, since there have been a lot of those kinds of problems in the last few days due to new servers coming online, and that round was very unusual.
I am now curious as to the statistics at work here. Most of my analysis, such as it is, is based on the Bitcoin Generation Calculator. I am assuming that the formula used there to calculate 50% / Average / 95% times to solve a block is valid, because the calculator does seem to predict fairly well how many BTC I will receive in a given time frame at a particular hash rate and difficulty. I will admit to being a little confused here already, though, because it seems like the numbers for 50% and Average should be the same. I clearly don't understand the finer points that lead to this distinction, or why my assertion that a 3.5 hour round @ 1.5TH/s is extremely unlikely using those numbers is wrong. I am trying to learn the math though, so any links are definitely appreciated. PM me if you don't want to clutter up this thread any further. Thanks for your help.
