I broke the prop differential display.

Two blocks ago, I made some changes to the getwork server which eliminated a really slow table in the database.  As such, I had to make a bunch of changes to the share counting and tracking code and in the process I apparently broke something and it's only now becoming apparent.  Your payouts should be accurate even though it's listing it as substantially lower compared to prop.

I think the problem lies in the code counting shares it shouldn't be counting (stales, duplicates, etc...) when it's calculating prop, but I can't seem to find where that's getting injected into the DB improperly.  I need to go over the getwork server code and the website code and see where they aren't matching up.

I just wanted to let everyone know that it is only a display bug and not a payout bug.  If anyone notices that their payout is less than it should be, let me know asap, but the math is adding up everywhere else and payouts are paying out to the correct amount from the spot checks I've done as well as the total payout being right on the money, so to speak. 

So... just letting everyone know since we've solved a couple blocks in rapid succession and the bug appears to be present in more than just my view of the block history.  I didn't want anyone to worry. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Catfish, I'll bite.  I'd like to try out your setup.

mmortal03 - Hmm, yeah I can up the default. So you're thinking like 20 NMC or something?  What about when we reach parity with BTC difficulty though?

I don't know why people believe that. FPGA is a jack of all trades which can be taught the trade of hashing. The future is custom ASICs.

On a related note, you should probably make the default nmc auto-payout threshold be at least 10 times (or 100 times) whatever you have the default bitcoin auto-payout threshold is set to.  You currently have it at something of the reverse (for example, my bitcoin payout was 0.2, and my nmc payout defaulted to 0.02), which would mean minuscule-sized namecoin payouts for me (still plausible, but not what most people would expect).

By the way, your NMC to BTC conversion feature is excellent. You should be getting more people to join just for this feature, I'm sure! Until we have a way to directly convert NMC to dollars, people are going to want to use something exactly like what you're implemented.

Awesome! I'll PM you the details. Thanks for the fast fix and let's hope to get some easier blocks soon...

Yes, sorry, I did have it reversed.  It is, in fact, 1 NMC = .00625001 BTC.

I think the discrepency came from a rounding error eating the 1000's place.  I've corrected that (it was using part of the code that processes the PP exchange rate, but since we aren't rounding to nearest cent, that code doesn't need to be in there.).  If you're missing BTC (or NMC) let me know how much and I will credit it to your account.  Sorry about that and good catch!

After all, shouldn't it be vice versa? (1 NMC = 0.00625001 BTC)

Then again, I suppose something's wrong with the exchange formula. Simple math here states:

10.86981182 NMC that amounts for 0.06787511 BTC would yield an exchange rate of 0.00624437.
So, either exchange rate or converted amount is wrong, if I'm not badly mistaken. If I am, slap me with a trout at will.

But if I'm not, maybe you could look into this?

PS: Hi, MMC folks.

Thank you for the fast replies and implementation!

Done... I will add a current exchange rate display ASAP as well.

Sure, I will make that change now actually... it's fairly easy.

Ooh, I get it now. Would it be possible to show the btc amount on the transaction list when converting nmc to btc? (If so, could you please add it to the already too long todo-list).

It goes into your BTC balance, not into your BTC wallet.  If you want to cash out your earnings for BTC, then select a manual payout from there.  If you have auto payout setup for both, it will convert NMC first to BTC, then auto-payout your earnings in either BTC or PP.

I just tried to get some NMC as BTC, when I look at the transactions log, it shows 0.0000000 as amount and no wallet number is shown.

COOL!

I've been looking for Namecoin.org so I could set up a Namecoin wallet.  Now I don't need one.

Thanks, Inaba

I don't think the NMC -> BTC conversion is working properly.  I just requested a payout of 20 NMC, selected pay as BTC.  The NMC was deducted from my account, but I never received anything at my bitcoin wallet and the transaction history on the site shows a record of a transaction for 0.0000 BTC.

My username on the site is barcafan if you want to check into it.

Sure, I will add that feature.

I also just added the ability to auto-payout to BTC from NMC.

Just to clarify - there is no fee charged for NMC to BTC conversion.

Shads:

Thanks for the info!  That's good to hear, I will look into PSJ soon, so I may be hitting you up with questions

Thought I recognised some of the old names

BTW - first payments started piping through. Oh yum yum, that's three payouts of over 2 BTC each... I hope this one lasts as long as possible! I don't think I've earned 6 BTC in a day before... if that's what my hashing power is worth, and it's only because of Inaba's reliable architecture that I've realised the maximum potential of my rigs... then I'm increasing my donations. This is one awesome setup.

Hell, it even makes my hacky installs look good - nothing has fallen over since I switched other than a(nother) crappy XFX card, which was a hardware failure (dry joint on GPU fan plug). I'm feeling rather exposed as I bought a lot of the XFX cards from videocardshop.co.uk when they were noticeably cheap - I now see why - I've got over 50% hardware failure rate and considering asking videocardshop.co.uk for a refund...

Thanks for the feature! I was wondering if you could display the NMC exchange rate somewhere, perhaps under where the BTC exchange rate is at the moment.

If that's the case the you might be interested in the new column mappings that are used in the latest version.  Previously it was built in a way such that if you wanted data field 9 included in your query you had to 1-8.  Which was very restrictive and inneficient if you happened to only need columns 1,2 and 9.  for example.

Now you can provide a mapping string which allows you to pick and choose data fields and map them to a position in your query.  This has opened up the possibility of adding any number of additional data fields and dynamic calculuations.  The current 'menu' includes:


As well as per chain our_result_.  You can expect this to expand considerably in the near future.

adding new ones is now trivial.  e.g. there's a number of stats that have been tracked internally by workers for some time, these can now be exposed to the DB engine easily.

Obviously if you want to do additional calculations for DGM inside the server you can't really avoid building from source.  Although it's no longer as daunting as it once was.  I published this step-by-step to getting a build environment ready a couple of weeks ago: http://poolserverj.org/documentation/guide-to-setting-up-poolserverj-in-eclipse-3-7/

I don't know a lot about DGM aside from what it stands for but if you can give a rundown on what you need to do I can probably tell you where the best place in the code would be to achieve it.  The DB API itself has an awful lot of data exposed to it.  In most cases it's a single method that needs modifying.

Ok folks, by popular demand, I have enabled the option to covert NMC to BTC.  Conversion happens at the lower of daily rate or last sale. For example, if the last sale of NMC was for .075 BTC per NMC and the daily average was .079, you would convert NMC to BTC at the .075 rate.

With this option, it allows you to effectively take your NMC payouts as NMC, BTC or Paypal.

Paypal fees have been reduced from 10% to 7.5%!  

Skyrim is released today and I can't find anyone to sell me a copy for BTC!  Arrgh... and no, I don't want a region locked copy that I have to use a VPN to play.  Just want a normal steam key or something!
