djeZo, can you please come up with another method to build trust than complete a trade on these forums. I've had no need to perform a trade on the forums so I haven't. Can I do one of the following instead?
1. Provide a deposit
2. Received a delayed payment
3. Rest out a machine free or heavily discounted for a period.
I can be trusted, however I have never needed to trade anything on these forums so I don't have any feedback yet.
You should definitely also setup a feedback system between renters and leasers in the system so that an ongoing feedback score is available.
1. We can do this manually. I have no implemented methods. You can send some BTC to me and I post in your trust thread that I keep X amount of your BTC until Y date.
2. Still not implemented yet. Figured I would have to code quite few things, like virtual mining rig provider accounts to enable this feature, so it is not happening for another week.
3. That is something you can do on your own. Then when customer hires it, kindly ask him via email to drop you feedback in your thread. I have implemented feedback button in customers page which redirects to your trust thread, but it is not mandatory to leave any feedbacks.
4. Feedback score is a nice idea but it could be abused; for example if someone really likes one rig could give bad score at the end just to make this rig less popular or even drop price for his future rentals. When people have to write some text to express quality of service, they are much less likely to do that. What I would need to do is implement feedbacks with not only score but text (like newegg for example). And that is a lot of work for now... so it is on long todo list.
I just rented out my miner and I was watching it through VNC when I suddenly saw that the miner appeared "OFF" on the website. Now my stability has reduced to 95% while the miner has been online all the time, I was watching it mining as it appeared. Could it be that there is a bug somewhere or cgminer missed an api call? I see on the other miners that they appear sometimes "OFF" as well for a very short while...
Or could it be that the api call interfered with cgwatcher?
If your rig has bad internet connection, this can happen. I have very strict timing rules to prevent spending too much time waiting for single mining rig. If connection is not established within 2 seconds, rig is reported as OFF, if data is not sent within 2 seconds, rig is reported as OFF.
