Poor impulse control.
I used to get about .1 bitcoins a day back in November @ 270 Mhash/sec

Ever since the difficulty increased I should be getting exactly half of that right?  Why does it seem like I'm getting NOTHING now?  I check my account page and my confirmed reward increases by hardly anything.

I think you're confusing the reward halving with the difficulty increase. Difficulty increases occur every ~ 14 days. The higher the Difficulty, the less you are paid for each share, on average. The reward halving has just halved the reward.

All the same, the mining difficulty in November was approximately the same now, so I don't think difficulty changes would be the answer.

I didn't register any problem on the pool. For how long it was down for you?

Hey Slush, I think something broke. I'm getting massive rejected shares. Pretty much all of them are getting rejected. Other pools work fine, so it's just your pool. I'm mining on stratum. I already tried restarting the mining proxy (running version 1.1.1) but that did not help.

Edit: Hmm, looks like it's working again. Temporary hiccup?

its the newest 1.2.0.

Hm, I tested it on linux and it works normally. I should test reconnections under Windows, because - as I remember - cgminer had reconnection issues under Windows as well...

Thank you slush for your great work!  Smiley

Today it is two years since the pool found it's first block :-).

It was this block, and the difficulty in these times was 12252. Oh, how I miss these days!

But now i have got another problem with your mining proxy:

What proxy version are you using? Latest one should have some fixes in this area.

Increase the fee on getwork pools. End of story.

Dear god, I can't imagine how much whining I'd hear if I tried to get people to move to Stratum like that... I should try it the next time I'm feeling sadistic.
In that case, temporarily reduce the fee to stratum instead?

But i think the mining proxy will connect to your pool with one worker account then, dont it?

No, it proxies usernames as well.

Cant you just raise the allowed connections to 25? (-;

There's really no reason, 20+ workers is already pretty big operation and using Stratum proxy is logical step. It optimizes network usage.

Thank you Slush thats working.

But now i have got another problem with your mining proxy:
When my internet connection at night is reconnecting mining proxy is loosing connection, cant give work to my bfgminers and bfgminers are trying so switch to my backup pools. Thats logic.
But when the internet connection ist back, bfgminers are locking for the proxy and find him still dead, so they continue working at the backup pools.
Only a restart of the bfgminers helps here, the they can connect to the proxy again.
Do you know why they dont do this without restarting?


Bitcoin 01 was manualy restarted and connected to the mining proxy, Bitcoin 02 was not resarted and still said MiningProxy is dead.

I think I might turn stratum back off to get more namecoins actually, or go to a pool that will still be offering them merged mining is still worth while becuase there is still a market for namecoins

77%?!  And here I am getting happy when users on Stratum have speed exceeding 50% (which only happens once in a blue moon).

LOL, I'm being pretty aggressive in Stratum propagation. Getwork users have pretty annoying message on website profile, thankfully lot of them really update after they noticed it.

I have a nice annoying message to anybody that hasn't used Stratum in the last 2 weeks.  They just ignore it.  I guess I can make the font size increase by 1% per day ;p.

That might work actually lol

Maybe strobe the message as well, increasing the intensity and frequency of the strobes too. And a target and a message that you can win an ipad just by hitting the target? That sort of ad always grabs my attention (perhaps by driving me blind with rage, but it does get my attention).

I'm not against Namecoin, I just see the project dead, there's no development in last year, documentation is non-existing, merged mining patches obsolete (most recent official toolchain is for bitcoin 0.3.24!).

In these days I'm migrating pool to new servers and I'll drop old pool core completely (I won't install it to new servers at all), so NMC will be completely disabled in few days. But if everything will run smoothly, I'll dig into merged mining and if there won't be any real issue, I'll try to set up NMC mining again.
