Phew, my miners are back to work.

Your site seems to be down and Cloudflare is showing me a mirror.


ok it's back now.

For what's it worth, I brought it up on their forum and used specific BitMinter examples.

Blockchain.info doesn't care.  They've known their block association has been broken since they added it for many pools.  The only pool I think has 100% accuracy with them is BTC Guild (I don't recall a single mis-associated block in the last 6+ months).  Which makes no sense, since Guild doesn't do anything unique (static payout address + coinbase message).

Doc, have you tried contacting them again recently?  Seems the question keeps coming up and if Blockchain could fix the issue, then you don't have to keep answering this same question over and over again. 

I tried contacting blockchain.info about this problem, but they didn't bother to reply.

Best is to not use their website - the information is bad.

This site is much better at finding out where a block came from: http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/

Thank you and explained.

Thanks for the info, it clearly states "Mined on" on the top of the page. Could someone please explain the discrepancy to me? If you look at as an example "Eligius" every block that shows on The blockchain shows as being mined on their stats page. Is Bitminter losing the blocks due to a lower hash rate? Thanks

blockchain.info is wrong. It says relayed not found if you click into it.

A question about blocks found versus mined. The blockchain shows the following blocks were found by Bitminter:

284419*
284411
284387
284376
284352*
284348*
284293*
284288
284251*
284231
284212*
284206*
284170

I placed an asterisk next to the blocks that were mined according to the stats. What happened to the other blocks found? Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the Avalons but unless you're running this in a data center with specialized power I think you'll also need to switch the PSU to 120V instead of 220V (assuming you're in the USA) before you plug it in, adaptor or not. Is the PSU accessible? Maybe you could just swap it to a standard one?

So thee damn miner just got here and guess what ?

I CANT USE IT !

Came with a flipping chinese plug and there's no local stores that sell computer plugs around here except for staples and I don't have a car.

Sounds good, should be here anytime if fedex hurrys up.

So try getting her drunk first ?

I believe you would need to complete 10 shifts at an average speed and then the block after that would give you an indication of what to expect. The shifts are currently taking around 3 hours to complete so you'd need to let it go approx 30 hours.

My understanding is that as soon as you've got a score (work done) for a single shift you can start getting paid for blocks found, but you'll have one shift with work done and 9 with 0 which will lower your average score which will lower your payouts. After 10 shifts at your full speed your score average should be nominal and the next block after that will payout what you would expect per block. If you stop mining here (or your equipment has an issue for a shift or two) your average drops a little each time but if blocks are found before you're at 0 work for the last 10 shifts you'll still get something.

I've got 3 Chili miners and for whatever reason two of them decided to have problems early this morning. When I got into work my hash rate was ~33 instead of ~100 and watching the shifts I can see approx when they went out. So my last 10 shifts look like this -

32.1 - 63.2 - 98.7 - 99.3 - 96.2 - 95.9 - 98.8 - 100.3 - 99.7 - 97.9

That is the speed which corresponds to the work performed which is used to calculate the score based on what % of the work you did. Currently, because of those lousy shifts early this morning my payout will be a bit lower than if I had 10 good rounds the next time a block is found. However now that everything is working correctly again my speed/work/score will be up again and after 10 shifts these bad ones will be out of my average.

Again the mess above is just my understanding. Math and I had a falling out in the 90s and its just been weird whenever we get together since then...

Hehe, here are last ten shift dates:

2014-02-06 05:12

So it has been lucky

So the way thins have been goin it'll be about two days then i I'm lucky.

I think he said it is 10 blocks worth of shares to be stable (real) output.
That could be 10days if we have 10 99% blocks to jackhammer.

ten blocks will give you a good idea, Hope for easy ones

I havent mined here in a few weeks, that said... I got an avalon system comin tomorrow that I want to test on a few pools and I'm going to start here. That said, it's 200-220GGh/s... once I plug it in and get it rolling. How long would it need to run before it ges ull steam / equalizes so earnings are consistent. If I recall right, aint it something like 20hrs ?

Maintenance Feb 7, 04:00 to 08:00 UTC. We may have brief (max 10 min) mining server downtime.
