so with a 20-25% increase in difficulty the rewards have dropped 25-30% each round, can anyone tell me if their is always such correlation?
Difficulty has noting to do with round reword. Higher difficulty means that there are less rounds. What changes reword for round is your hash rate vs. pool hash rate...


What I find amusing is that despite the increased difficulty, the additional hashrate on the pool (~13Thash/s right now) is having an impact on the pool's luck (increased frequency finding blocks).

Pool luck (1 day, 7 days, 30 days):   121%, 106%, 97%

I have noticed that my rewards are slightly smaller, but more frequent, so the overall earning is higher. Have you noticed the same?

Yup, and that's exactly the expected outcome - and I quite like it as well! Smiley

Just had a thought about the bitcoin network's dynamics. The increasing diffuculty to match the total hash rate offers the bitcoin end user greater security through harder levels of encryption within the blockchain. But not really, since a 51% attack is still a growing possibility. Meanwhile, the fact that blocks come out at the same average rate means transaction won't reach confirmations any faster. That doesn't seem fair enough to the users of a growing network. If block reward quantities were frequently adjusted for total network rate, while the difficulty increased at a more steady and easy rate, we could still be cutting from the same size of pie, and block solution rate could actually represent our total hashing power. Perhaps that would be a problem with all the <10s blocks we'd be getting, though. Thoughts on the matter?

Does anyone know why I might be getting this while trying to start a miner on my new machine?

Port 8332 is the default for "getwork" protocol. Slush was talking about deprecating it completely and it seems this is already a fact.

I just looked at the stats page and it used to say so-and-so-% stratum vs getwork (lately was 97-98%) and now it doesn't say anything, which makes me think that getwork is gone completely.

In this case -
Solution 1: Set your miner to use "stratum".
Solution 2: if you can't do #1 just run the proxy on one of your machines and point your miners to the proxy.

It looks to be fixed and corrected for me now!

Thanks!

I dont like when Slush doesn't fix blocks where I get a reward for 1/6 my miners.

I dont like when Slush fixes blocks where I had a reward as if I had 3+ miners.

HOWEVER I do like to know he noticed a problem and fixed it more than those 2!

Thanks Slush...  Wink

Yeah he seen it and I know he is watching Smiley

Give it some time - the 'none none' usually appears while it is recalculating the shares and scores. I've seen it take up to 15-20min after a block has been found until it finishes, and for longer-duration blocks it may take even longer. So - patience ...

As vs3 stated... this ended up resolving itself.

I also have noticed the same...  for block #239957 I have "none" for shares/reward.  But it took about about 2.5 hours to find that block, so I will wait as vs3 suggested.

Or else, you wil start to panick?!

Seems things are about to change - the 0.00000001 is now:

18419    2013-06-05 22:10:11    2:13:41    23972744    none    none    239957    25.05265005    84 confirmations left

EDIT: WOW - and while I was typing it changed yet again:
18419    2013-06-05 22:10:11    2:13:41    23972744    2664    0.00272833    239957    25.05265005    84 confirmations left

wow are GH/s just went up another 1000? I guess maybe a lucky day made some asic miner move to us?

Same here no shares...

2 options:

1) slush will see it and force a recount of these shares.
2) it will go unnoticed and you will lose out, there will be a lucky few slush miners who will win and who are hoping right now that the block will go unnoticed - one time that is likely to be you.

Overall we are all winners (for the record I have 0.00000003 -but I don't care either way whether it's fixed).

Something is definatlly screwed up, i just got no shares on 239969
