I suspect that 32 bits of zeroes = a difficulty of 1? (i.e. the original and easiest difficulty?)
Exactly!

32 is not difficulty, it means that target have 32 bits of zeros. You cannot compare this difficulty to global difficulty. 32 bits of zeros leads to ~1-2 blocks at 1000khash/s.

Thanks for the answer slush, indeed i received them now

32 is not difficulty,
It might be a good idea not to call it 'difficulty' on the webpage...

Which version ? Did you build it yourself ?
0.2.1 and no, i only use pre-compiled binaries. December 17, 2010, 07:00:59 AM
Oh, too much traffic here

This is the rounding rest, reward from previous round was already sent to you. Reward for current block is calculated when block is found.
1 instance == 1 piece of software, NOT computer, NOT CPU/GPU core. Everytime you run miner software, each of them must have different credentials, otherwise your shares will not be correct.
Thanks, it is second 5970 in pool :-)
Yes, it is working. No special settings for Windows. You probably have bad URL, connection or whatewer.

What's the current difficulty value for miners to get a share?

It shows my reward is 0.00237 BTC

The instructions say to use one registered miner for each remote miner instance connected. Does this mean multithreaded miners need to be limited to 1 thread only? Will running them with multiple threads confuse the share algorithm?

Hey, going to throw in my Radeon 5970 for fun Smiley wait a couple of hours and you'll be over 2Gh/S

I got the error you got when I had the wrong username/password.

yes, that's the one i use for testing CPUs on windows.

and again, i just had 2 of 3cores @ 2400khash/s each running for about 15minutes and got 2shares/found 2 winning hashes.
that's not even close to your 19hrs.
that's not even close to your 19hrs.
Yes, I guess the difficulty calculator I used must be incorrect. Any idea what the estimate would be?

no, there's no need to limit multithread miners to 1thread,i just tested jgarzik's miner with 2threads and it runs fine/gets me shares.
Found it, '32' according if it's the listed difficulty under each registered miner. So that's about 19 hours for a share using a 2,000 khash/s machine (my estimate of an average dual core laptop).

I started my old pc a lot later then the fast one, but the slow one already has the full reward, so it seems a block was found in the meantime...

I don't really understand how to connect the miner to the pool. I'm using poclbm but I always get
C:\Bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe>poclbm.exe -o mining.bitcoin.nz --port=8332 -u Elanthius.wk033 --pass=pass -d 0
Unable to communicate with bitcoin RPC
Any suggestions?
try using mining.bitcoin.cz, that might work. C:\Bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe>poclbm.exe -o mining.bitcoin.nz --port=8332 -u Elanthius.wk033 --pass=pass -d 0

How are the rewards calculated?
It shows my reward is 0.00237 BTC
But if i calculate my share it should be about 1.8 BTC, thats quite a difference...
I'm calculating this with (myshare/totalshare)*50 (as according to the website)
This is on my fast pc 60.000khash that has been running double the time compared to my slow pc.
My slow pc with 20.000khash has a 0.63 BTC reward, which is correct according to the same calculations...
Am i missing something?
your 0.00237 BTC reward is leftover from the last round,It shows my reward is 0.00237 BTC
But if i calculate my share it should be about 1.8 BTC, thats quite a difference...

the reward for the current round will be calculated and added to your reward as soon as a new block is found,
so about 1.8 BTC is what you can expect, not what you already have.
correct me if i'm wrong.

Typo. It should be mining.bitcoin.cz. Czech Republic, not New Zealand.
