Topic: [20 gh] NMCBit pool 3% fee prop 6.6% PPS - page 11. (Read 63735 times)

After comparing times to the 'Found NMC Block List' on the pool, it seems as though my NMC stats are in fact over 5 hrs off and I have not gotten credit for the last 5 blocks. My previous difference between the block list and PPS NMC earnings has been about 2 minutes.....so definately a bit off for me.

Is there a problem with the stats ? The NMC stats in particular ?
Although I may or may not be on drugs, it seems as though I have less NMC shares each time I login and my totals have not increased in quite some time......since my last withdrawl 5.5hrs ago.

Presumably, yes.  I've not been a user for all that long but for a while the exchange now rate was roughly 0.005 off from the "sell me now" market rate (or at least, bitparking.com).  Then the market dropped down to around 0.020'ish.  I'd been waiting for the rate here to drop, heh.

Why such a sudden adjustment to the NMC-to-BTC rate ?
After checking exchange rates to compare, would it be safe to assume that the pools exchange rate now includes convenience overhead ?

I know how you feel I have 10 GH of equipment that is now doing 5 GH.

Congrats!  Too bad I didn't last the whole time.  The miner's lifestyle took its toll on me.

Can you please give me some more details...

Your Username (not your email the one you fill in on the dashboard)
What events occur that cause you to get invalid address do you enter the address and hit save do you hit instant payout?  I done both and sent you some coins so please, please help me out here these short messages are not enough information for me to trouble shot this.

Some details would help.  And a copy of your NMC address would not hurt ether.

For some reason both my NMC and BTC address's are coming up as invalid. Please correct this ASAP

Create a new miner it will have zero shares and you can check the PPS check box.

Googled clean up idioms, still don't get what you are saying.
On the http://www.nmcbit.com/dashboard page, the "PPS" check box is greyed out.
I think you are referring to that. I would like to be paid based on my mining speed contribution, not based on how many BTC I actually found. I don't like the "luck" part. Since the "PPS" box is greyed out, how can I do it?

Well with PPS you will be doing better than those on proportional as you bet paid as if we found 3 blocks while everyone else has to split the pot of 50 btc once the block is found.

If you still don't get it.
google "clean up" Idioms

What do you mean by "you should clean up"?

Moving out of beta on the 30th
What this means is no more unscheduled updates to the website unless there is an emergency critical update.
if you want to see what I am working on and try it out you can use the mirror site of testing.nmcbit.com

It's not up yet but will be by the 30th.

Also I will be paying out 10 BTCs to the top 5 1 GH+ miners that have been mining with me since August.  If you are one of those people please post a message here and I will check your stats.

As for everyone else who has mined in August and September that gave me 200+ Mhs please say so and I will give you 1 free bitcoin into our balance there will be a 3% tax on that giveaway.

Please provide your username located in the dashboard NOT your email address.

Going forward the next features will be...

1. More servers to connect to.
2. Worker history so you can see how many shares your worker did in previous rounds (there will be a one time fee of 1 btc to enable this except for early adopters)
3. Limited membership affiliate program where members get 1% of miners they sign up or get to split that discount with the miner at their discretion.  (this may take some time to code)

Right now I am cleaning up the code and fixing miner bugs if you see one let me know before the 30th.
Issues I know about are...
- If you give 2 shares sometimes the share value will read 6.xxx BTC because it's an exponent value of 6.xxxE-5 but the E-5 is not displayed.
- All Transactions should reference the block that triggered the payment.
- PPS transaction history should display the PPS amount.
- Content on the front page should be updated.
- Quick Start content should be updated.

Not sure if I will be able to fix all that before the 30th as I will be cleaning up the code first and emergencies will occur between now and then.

Now lets hope our luck turns around soon not sure what's up I have not changed a thing with mining.

We pay when a block is found even PPS.

with the last block's bad luck you should clean up.

i have been mining for the past 24 hrs, and got 0 BTC.
My machines avg about 7GH/s. Used to get 3-5BTC/day at BTC Guild.

Is NMCBit having some issues? I've received BTC yesterday and the day before, but today I got 0 BTC.

Your BTC stales are not separate from NMC stales its cumulative, if you get a stale it counts for both the % is smaller for btc because there are less shares.

Finally the problem is the new Merged-Mine version of PoolServerJ (PSJ)  gave out the stales.  Internally what's happening on CoinServer4 is your stales are hidden from you, they are occurring because there is no LP for PoolServerJ with Merged-Mine-Proxy (MMP) a script that runs between bitcoind and namcoind to merge the work together to send to PSJ or Pushpool or whatever you use to send out shares to miners.

When a miner submits the work to PSJ, PSJ believes it's valid and sends it to (MMP) and it sends it to both block chains and says it's not valide but PSJ does not know it was marked as invalid by MMP. I can see on the screen that MMP gets a lot of stales when a new block is found and you do not see them.

I am working with shadders to improve PSJ to work with Merged Mining and I thought it was just a setting I messed up but turns out it needs a bit more work.

Also I have made a modification to my version of bitcoind/namecoind as it calls a share stale and may be valid for the other block chain. (currently testing on coinserver2)  I believe that should clear up some of my hidden stale share problems on coinserver4.


Too much info eh?

I'll stop talking now

BTW because the difficulty is so high stales between PSJ and MMP are a lot lower I wait 10 or 20 minutes to see stales show up.

coinserver4 seems to be kicking some serious ass for me.....pretty much ZERO BTC Stales, but I still see a few NMC stales at the start of each block.
I am more than satisfied. My BTC stales % has gone down steadily, decreasing from over 6% earlier to about 2% and still dropping. I should see under 1% average later tonight if all goes well....based on the performance as of late.

Looks like I found a server that works for me after all.

  If it matters or helps you I am using Phoenix 8/24/11 release with phatk2.2 kernel through the guiminer interface. I will provide any numbers if you need them or switch servers, etc, if you need any real time stats to troubleshoot. I have 4 seperate miners available, 330+MHs that arn't tied down anywhere.


  edit; 2 BTC stale(s) out of 1900+ now on coinserver4  ; Better than normal for my miner thus far.
  edit2;  I wish the mining gui had a timestamp function for stales. It would be interesting to see if there are any patterns in some of them compared to new block start times, other miners, etc, etc....
