Could you replace it by another coin ? Ppcoin ?

+1!

That's not possible, please read how merged mining works. Only a few coins support it. However, I0Coin is actually more profitable than NMC, both have been around the +1% range for a few time. There's no reason BitMinter couldn't merged mine both.

The namecoin daemon stopped propagating our namecoin blocks, that's why we have a string of "stale" blocks. Should be OK again now (for future blocks).

Apologies for this. Namecoin was abandoned by its developers in a state where it was full of bugs and nearly unusable. You don't notice it but it is actually crashing frequently and being automatically restarted on the server.

I'll have a look at whether the new "namecoinq" is more stable.

That's too bad! Sad

Would it be possible to adjust vardiff for different workers individually ?

Difficulty when using Stratum is per connection not per worker. Bitminter will choose a difficulty for the connection that is suitable for the fastest worker using the connection. That can be a little heavy for workers that are considerably slower.

Setting up two Stratum connections, for instance with Stratum proxy, should work. I'm not sure why you are experiencing problems with that. If you want the difficulty on the old proxy that you had already to drop then you may have to restart it.

Thank for explanation, it works as expected,
when I've stopped ASIC miner, difficulty dropped down for all proxies/workers
and after restart of faster ASIC miner, difficulty rised up again for all proxies/workers

It's clear now.

Do you see any kind of problems on your end with connections from KNC (especially the hosting centre). Is there a "connection log" for my user that could tell you/me anything? As the miner is hosted, I have very little information from the hardware side; the only status I get is "pending" or "running"...

I don't know of any problems. If you leave me your Bitminter user name I can have a look in the logs. You are connecting to mint.bitminter.com on port 3333 ?

Hi Doc,

I've defined two different workers for my mining devices, one for faster ASIC miner and one for slower miner
But vardiff rises up difficulty equally for both my workers.
Would it be possible to adjust vardiff for different workers individually ?

Thx

EDIT: I've found that using stratum proxy causes this behavior, so I've setup two different proxies but w/o success.

Hi DrHaribo,

I can't seem to connect my miner from KNC's hosting portal. Last week, it worked fine. Now, after I configure bitminter as my pool, the KNC portal says "running", but the bitminter live stats say 0 gh/s, even if I leave the miner running (supposedly) for a few minutes. Last time I used Bitminter, I seem to remember the live stats updating pretty much instantly, so my machine does not seem to be hashing at your pool.

Do you see any kind of problems on your end with connections from KNC (especially the hosting centre). Is there a "connection log" for my user that could tell you/me anything? As the miner is hosted, I have very little information from the hardware side; the only status I get is "pending" or "running"...

I was able to reconnect to BTC guild, but I would like to continue working on Bitminter

Thank you for any info.

By the way, if you have problems with nonce2 size 6 bytes, you can choose 4 bytes (more common) in the worker options.

I searched for this topic, but couldn't find anything. Sorry if I post a possibly old topic.

Last week I finally got my BFL gear delivered to the colocation site from Netsolus.
They refused to use Bitminter as a pool because:
"The stable build mining application when connected to the bitminer pool causes nonce size violations and the pool fails to accept shares." [Netsolus support, 2013-10-20]

They use the stable build of cgminer.
Could this be fixed?
Am I the only one having these problems?
I would like to uns Bitminter for my BLF devices, too.

Greeting, HK

That was an old cgminer version that had a bug. It was fixed very quickly and a new version released.

There's no such problem with new versions of cgminer.

Oh Boy!!! Mtgox stable around $180! I like the rise in price!!!

But is the price gain with btc going to cause hardware price rise?? Comment please.

since a lot of hardware is priced at btc the answer is yes in those cases. AM sticks are .07 btc so after the silk road bust it was about 7.35 usd now it is 11.62 usd. i used coinbase and I purchased 4 btc at 105 usd the day of the silk road bust. today coin base wants 166 usd a coin.

So 60 AM sticks at 4.2 btc were only 441 usd the day of the silk road bust.

same 60 sticks today are 4.2 btc but that is 697 usd based on todays coinbase prices. that is a 4 dollar a stick rise in price.

No actually, most of the current generation of ASIC devices are priced in US dollars and/or Euros. So at the time of your order you are paying the current exchange rate for $ to BTC. And usually exchange rate is at Bitstamp price not Gox.

So at the current price of BTC you would need fewer to buy the same device that you could a month ago. I'm not saying it's a good investment though!

The effect of BTC price rise is utterly annihilated by the effect of the rising difficulty, which will force prices lower. For many months difficulty has been doubling each month (at the current rate, its even pretty much tripling), and this likely to accelerate further once HF starts shipping, followed by AcM, Bitmine, Cointerra, and well, who know maybe even BFL. The result is an unavoidable price implosion that no amount of BTC rallying is likely to offset. As much as Id like my bitcoins to double each month, I dont think thats a reasonable mid term expectation.

Doc I started with Bitminter when the pool was around 15 th's. A few short months later the pool is doing well! 130-135 th's! I don't know a lot about website building. But I say you got this!!!

Great to work with Bitminter!!

Thanks

15 TH... things are moving quickly in the Bitcoin world.

Especially since we are now close to 160TH/s!!! Shocked

(and I am still waiting for my hosted Saturn to start contributing, hopefully next week)

Any Jupiter owners mining on Bitminter?

I believe most on the top 50 use Jupiter. I would guess most use Stratum. You could get lower bandwidth usage and perhaps slightly less rejected work with Stratum, but otherwise I think GBT should work fine. Maybe some Jupiter users can give some advice on upping the hashrate.

Is there a problem with Bitminter?

I don't understand why I am seeing expected block of 0.00562295?

I checked out one of the other sites and my expected block count is much higher at 226GH/s.

If you didn't mine full speed during the last 10 shifts then the pay per block won't be as high as if you had. More work means more pay.

Plus what TheQuin said. If pool hashrate goes up and your hashrate stays the same then your pay per block will go down but you will get paid for more blocks per day. Your average pay actually stays the same, but the variance decreases. Some info here: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10731/mining-pool-hashrate-effect-on-a-miners-income

There is no problem with Bitminter. You are only looking at half the equation. A pool with half the hash rate will pay twice as much per block found but will find half as many blocks making it the same.

Any Jupiter owners mining on Bitminter?
Been trying the following :

0.90 w/enablecores
0.94
0.95
0.96 w/enablecores

Difficulty 256

Hashing @ 450 GHs avg on the GBT network. Unfortunately, I am not sure if stratum would give better results as my workplace blocks stratum access.

Please let me know how much your Jupiter hashes at and your details. If push comes to shove, I might have to bring it home if it's related to GBT/stratum.

Regards.
Derek
