Yay

Inaba, any ideas on how to make the estimated reward more accurate?   It's a bit all over the place at the moment.   My estimated reward for this block was supposedly .73, but I've received .66.   The last block was supposed to be .6x but I received .76

I know it's a by product of the new scoring method, and I know it doesn't really matter in the long run as we get paid correctly, but it'd be nice to be able to see an accurate estimation.

Yay! New block solved! 

you're the coolest Inaba, thanks!

COOL
Thanks

Not sure what happened... mysql went nuts and was non-responsive.  

It is fixed now... don't think it was anything I've been working on.

On the upside, I've added the ability to turn miner alerts on and off by miner and if you call now, I will throw in the ability to set the failed minutes per miner as well... ABSOLUTELY FREE!!

Sorry about the downtime folks, no warning on that one.  I made some modifications to the getwork servers earlier as well, but they've been going fine for 6 or 7 hours.

Its working again 

What he said

Seems EMC is back up my miner successfully failed back to it =)

YAY! CGminer did failover successfully to my backup pool...it just took like 10mins or so, must retry a lot.

That's curious
I'm mining on Eclipse and Triple and earlier today I wasn't connecting to either.
I went to the office where my rig is to see what had happened and when I got there it was working just fine on both pools.
I've got to learn that ssh thing.

Yep, down here as well.  Was connected to Deepbit for a backup but can't connect there now either...

mine's still on my backup pool.
I can't connect to the mining server or the website server.
I've been assuming they're separate servers.

grr...seems my main miner hasnt failed over =( weird...

I'll get to see if poclbm fails back

Yeah this is a good test to see if CGminer fails over properly =P

hey, my backup pool works!

yeah, website is down, but miners seem to be still goin...er?


oops not anymore, they just dropped.

i've fallen and i can't connect!

Klaaster, I show your last share submitted: 2011-07-30 03:08:31
The block ended: 2011-07-30 07:27:21

All times are UTC

So your shares would have decayed fairly substantially by then.

Dacayed a bit inaccurate of a description, they just have less "value" than "current" shares.  There's not a set time as to how long it takes a share to decay to zero, but rather it's based on how many shares were submitted after any given share.  Each share is worth the value of the previous share + a variable amount based on difficulty and several other factors.

What this means is that any given share will be worth less as more shares are submitted.  Once the round ends, the share scores are all added up and then the block value (in this case 50) is divided between everyone equally based on their share score.  Those that submitted shares near or at the end of the round will have the highest value in terms of share score and thus get a larger proportion of the payout.  Because the round ending is completely unpredictable, it's what keeps the pool hoppers from being able to gain an advantage and thus take away from the honest miners. 

The downside is that it also has the effect on the honest miners that have difficulty during the round or for whatever reason are not able to "finish" the round with everyone else.  Because pool hoppers take away such a large chunk of funds (more than 12% of the value in some cases) from the honest users, the most fair way to distribute the shares is through Meni's scoring system.  It rewards everyone equally based on their contribution, regardless of whether or not they are pool hoppers.

If you would like the actual math behind it, there's several links in this thread to the discussion on Meni's scoring system and the math proof(s) to verify it.

Yes, I have to mine over an UMTS Mobile-stick for some days and had/have some problems with phoenix miner.
Can you point me to some more info about this? What rule must be followed to get your shares not decayed?
