BTW, what reason to run miner (SIC! nor bitcoin, nor bitcoind) trough Tor?
February 02, 2011, 04:34:23 AM
Hi, I'm connecting to the pool through Tor. What's to stop a tor exit node sniffing my data, and claiming my shares for itself? Can the bitcoin getwork() interface be encrypted? Just to let you know, it hasn't happened yet I think. I did lose one share yesterday, but it might be network latency.

Forgive me if I sound rude, but as far as I understand, all the transaction fees that went trough the blocks the community participated in creating trough you servers, end up to you, am I right?
yes. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.42122
I understand, thanks for the prompt answer and keep up the good work!
I'll be pariticipating myself, I'm doing about 40Mhashes/sec, hehe

What about the fees "earned" by a found block? Are these collected solely by the coordinator of the mining server, or are these sent to the miners, split according to their shares for this block?

I feel like you should have a bigger FAQ so you don't have to repost answers

Looks okay.
Yes, looks like we had hard times in previous 20 hours. Hope it is behind us :-).
January 31, 2011, 01:43:03 PM
Have you introduced some problem with the distribution of work? The probability of finding so few blocks over the last 20 hours is about 10^-5 ...
I feel something is not right too, the average durations of finding a block has DRASTICALLY increased in the last 24 hours. I hope it's only my paranoid.Looks okay.

It is weird, but I don't see any troubles on the pool side. We already had days where only few blocks were found.

Your new system is totally fair in terms of expected value. You might want to increase the number of shares, this will reduce the variance for the CPU miners.
January 31, 2011, 04:08:03 AM
Then most CPU's are going to be starving. And I thought the pool would be the only way to go with a CPU......I guess CPU's will get the short end of the stick on this one.
I think you didn't get the point of the last update. This change does not affect calculating rewards in any way, because everybody has the same probability to hit 'stale' share. It only affect absolute numbers of shares in round, there will be ~1% less shares per round (in global and also per worker).
January 31, 2011, 03:18:36 AM
I do not see any problems with that. Those who slow to submit work are late for dinner.

That way anyone that submits an old work from the previous block doesn't get an invalid.
Worker doesn't get an 'invalid or stale', but the share from previous block cannot be valid Bitcoin block, so I don't see the reason why to accept this.

I understand the desire to cut off those abusing the system, which is a good thing, but you should make sure it doesn't affect those playing by the rules.
Well, I'm sure. This change affected only counting of shares, not validating hashes against bitcoind. Even if I made some strange mistake in this update (which I don't expect), pool don't miss any block, because every share is still fully checked.

Well, slush is changing the rule since he is the ruler 
However, I do think the new rule is fair, because if a block is found within seconds, those slow workers submitting their shares for previous block won't have chance anyway -- with or without a pool.
