Thanks for your reply. I recognized that calulations are correct. But 'supervising' a bunch of small miners by the provided live stats (my account -> workers seems) not really praticable.

Is there any kind of workaround? Haven't had a closer look at cgminer api but perhaps the bitminter api works better?
The pool API is based on the shares you submit, since that is all the pool knows, so it's accuracy over a short period of time is quite unreliable - finding shares is statistically random.

My cgminer API, on the other hand, reports the counted hashes done by the devices
(or with ICA and MMQ, it counts successful hashes and reasonably accurately estimates valid aborted hashes if configured correctly)

Thanks for your input, kano. Even my very, very slow 30Mhps-test-miner is running 24x7. Therefore calculations could be made on a reliable basis, I think. But even after some days figures on the live-stats page don't seem to become more realistic.

(I hope I don't start any shitstorm with this:) Mining with this tiny "rig" on other pools showed always nearly accurate figures there.

So I don't think submitting shares (and therefore providing enough data for exact speed calcs) is the point. At least to me (n00b) it seem's like it's more a question about the background processes running on DrHaribos servers.

With deforse mining at around 300Mbps and having the same issues it's seems not an good idea to change to this pool as I have about 8 miners with 120-180Mbps and need to see if all of them are doing their job, right?

When a block change happens, Bitminter creates a empty block template so that there is no need to wait on bitcoind's getblocktemplate call. This allows miners to receive faster block change notifications which in theory should reduce the time miners are working on invalid work.

With the latest release candidate of bitcoind though, the latency for getblocktemplate should be minimal, which should lessen the need to make empty blocks in the first place.

Another strategy, which is employed by eloipool, is to have the pool server constantly create new block templates and just pull off of the top of the stack when a template is needed.

Maybe because FinCEN / DHS / whatever will now hunt down the miners including SR transactions and DrHaribo doesn't want to take any chances with this? Wink just kidding. I would be interested too. Maybe their bitcoind had just restarted and there was no transaction to include in the block at that very moment?

Hi, not only to you. I have a HD6870 an hashrate ah ~300. On the site it is shown somehow ~220, to ~350. I think it is normal. The site is calculating somewhere in the middle.

Hi there, I'd really like to change to Bitminter. So far, I've just a test machine mining on this pool.

As I have a few smaller workers (120-180Mhps), my question is, if I will be able to see if they're working properly.

At the moment with only an Radeon 6450 (30Mhps), I can see shares continously beeing submitted, but speed calculation shows 0Mhps most of the time. For a few seconds it jumps up to 180Mhps.

Is this specific to (very, very) small miners, e.g. will my 120-180Mhps miners show more correctly? Any ideas?

Thanks in advandce

Webserver back up. Apologies for the instability. Some software I am using is not working right. I'm looking for a workaround.

Well hello there!
Dr. H so we need to pull out our workers or keep them working? because im worried my 13GHash is just wasting their time...

I believe that mining is going on uninterrupted. Yes, the website is down, and I'm not sure what time it went down, but I continued to receive payouts at these times (US Pacific Time) so I know that the mining operation is ongoing:

I started to panic a bit myself however once I loaded my payout wallet I can confirm that my lil-guys resulted in a $0.02 btc payout about 45 minutes ago! Smiley

This webpage downtime kinda sucks, huh ? Good to see automatic payouts are being made despite the page not being accessible. My miners have been dutifully plugging away despite the web outage.

Props to the Bitminter peeps for having things nicely segmented.

Anger is a gift.
I just started mining at this pool about 5 days ago and the website has been down quite a bit and the pool crashed once also.  Is this normal for this pool?
It has been happening more lately. It is usually fixed pretty fast.
