Few posts above:
First user that hits 50,000 DGM shares and emails/bitmessages/PM's me to confirm gets a 5 BTC bonus sent to their registered BTC address for helping test. Second, third, fourth and fifth get 4, 3, 2 and 1 BTC respectively

4 BTC then 3 BTC, 2 BTC, 1 BTC, then it's done.

I am currently using this, so what is the reward on hitting 50k  now ?

Regarding DGM I think that it would be useful if we could see the duration for current round and also for the rounds before.

Last DGM related pool change for a bit. I've added a "last 5 payments" to the user stats page. This shows the actual amount of BTC paid for the last few blocks. I'll clean up the look of this later, I just wanted to get something quick out there.

Can you PM me your ip address? I banned a range from someone attempting a mass SQL injection attact and you may be caught up in it.

Edit: Actually if you can't reach stratum2.bitparking.com then it's not that. What error are you getting?

I cannot connect to the DGM server. In fact, I cannot connect to neither of your servers.

Congrats to '6a407671' who hit 50,000 shares and has been paid a 5BTC bonus. The next 4 getting close to 50k have share values of 32000, 14,600, 14,400 and , 7800.

I put some DGM stats here. Note that the 'score' shown in the estimates is an estimate and could be off by a few. The score in the payouts should be accurate however.

What this doesn't show is the effect of the PPS miners. All the PPS miners effectively contribute to DGM so the pool has an internal PPS user that accrues DGM value. If there's interest I can show that too. I'm not quite sure the best way to display or word it though.

Do you still have the stats page which shows all the current DGM hash rates and estimated payouts?

I've added a temporary stat to the user page that shows the total number of DGM shares mined so you can see how close to the 50,000 you are.

Thanks to the following users who get 1 btc for being the top 5 share submitters on the dgm stratum node (Usernames are the first 8 characters of the sha256 hash of their username):

• 6a407671: 6188
• f4b05c10: 2968
• 57a22ab2: 1416
• a5d78fff: 1360
• 906b1bc4: 623

1 BTC has been sent to the bitcoin address associated with these users accounts.

I'm opening the DGM server for wider testing. To mine on the DGM server with stratum use stratum+tcp://mmpool.bitparking.com:4333. Note the '4333' at the end instead of '3333' which is the PPS server. The details of the DGM server are:

• 1.5% fee
• f=-0.23125
• c=0.2
• o=0.8

Details about DGM (and what 'c' and 'o' mean) are available at the Double Geometric Method forum post. Unlike PPS, where constant payments are made for each share, your DGM balance works like a capacitor. When you first start earning the amount is lower while the capacitor charges. When fully charged the earnings are more regular. When you stop mining the capacitor discharges and you still get paid for a period afterwards. So don't panic if earnings seem lower at the beginning. Even if you stop mining on DGM you'll continue to accrue DGM amounts where you'll catch up. Stastically you should earn more on DGM due to the lower fee.

Due to the way DGM operates payments are made when a block is found. You will see a "DGM Estimated Round Payout (BTC)" in your user statistics page. This is the estimated amount of BTC you are likely to earn when a block is found. You'll notice this will have a value in future blocks even when you stop mining due to the capacitor approach described before. You can switch between PPS and DGM any time.

Feedback on DGM, the stats shown, and the parameter settings the pool is using, are welcomed.

Note that this is experimental and if there are issues let me know so I can track them down. I reserve the right to shut the DGM server down should I find a major problem so you should set up a backup server. If I shut DGM down I'll redirect to a PPS server.

First user that hits 50,000 DGM shares and emails/bitmessages/PM's me to confirm gets a 5 BTC bonus sent to their registered BTC address for helping test. Second, third, fourth and fifth get 4, 3, 2 and 1 BTC respectively but remember you need to email/bitmessage/PM me so I can confirm to be eligible! If I have to close DGM early due to issues I'll apportion based on nearest hash rates to 50,000 at the time.

Edit: I'll also throw in 1 BTC each to the top 5 highest score submissions on the DGM server as at Saturday, 27 April 2013 00:00:00, GMT. That's two hours from now. This should give the lower hash rate, but early testers, a chance for a reward.

Edit 2: 40 minutes to go until the 1 BTC awards mentioned in the edit. Currently the top five have 2720, 2080, 864, 546 and 258 shares. Thanks for testing!

Where xxxxx is your username

Where can I find my user API ?

Excellent stuff. Nifty to use in say...an Android widget...cough..

New stats added to the user page and the userstats JSON API:

• Shares for round. This is the number of equivalent difficulty 1 shares submitted since the last block found
• PPS for round. This is the number of BTC earned from the PPS system since the last block found. If you haven't done any DGM mining (when it's enabled) this should be the 'shares for round' multipled by the current BTC rate - assuming difficulty hasn't changed mid round.
• DGM Estimated Round Payout. This is the estimated amount of BTC that would be earned when the next block is found for the shares submitted to the DGM system.

The main page also shows the hash rate going towards the DGM reward system (not currently enabled, still in testing).

Wallets refilled, withdrawals are now working.

Pool is back up. I've defragmented the wallets and they're currently empty. I'll be sending the funds from the old wallets shortly then withdrwals can resume.

Pool down for 10 minutes for a coin daemon upgrade.
