A customer writes "Oyt of cync", there is new version of the wallet? Where can I download?

We will be updating to P2Pool release 13.1 in the next few days. Most likely Sunday evening.

Changes:
* Hardfork at 95% upgraded:
** Bitcoin share period increased from 10 to 30 seconds to cater to ASIC miners. Avalon/BFL/ASICMINER devices should start working well after this.
** Litecoin share period increased from 10 to 15 seconds
** Litecoin payouts spread over 3 block-lengths instead of 12, reducing dust payouts
** Transaction pre-forwarding greatly simplified, allowing future network traffic reductions
** Maximum share difficulty multiplier increased from 10x to 30x to give more freedom to below share difficulty adjustments
** OP_RETURN used in last txout to prevent UTXO database spam
** Stratum nonce length increased from 4 to 8 bytes, allowing for future Avalon support without having to use the "avalon" branch

* Automatically increase share difficulty to prevent payouts below "dust threshold", 0.001 BTC and 0.03 LTC
* Automatically increase share difficulty to prevent any single node from making more than 5% of shares, by default
* Worker username parameters (+PSEUDOSHARE_DIFF/SHARE_DIFF) not longer have to be in a specific order
* Support for submitblock RPC call in new Litecoin versions
* Fixed incompatibility with ASICMINER BE Blade
* Updated bootstrap address list

Just noticed and jumped on.  Looks good, finding blocks fast again.

Increasing the memory on the wallet server to accommodate another coin. Your miners will submit DOAs while the server restarts. Should only last for about a minutes.

Edit:
Maintenance done.

Were throwing over 6 Mh/s at the DGC pool soon so you may want to join in.

It comes and goes. Good run there for a while. When we get into the 6+ Mh/s range our luck seems to be really good.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.  I'll keep on watching the server.

Hey CartmanSPC,

I kept a window open to watch the server and I put one of my miners on just to keep a presence there. That attracted a couple other miners so I moved my other machine on to the server and now we have about 6MH's running.  I'll be there as long as we can keep the hash up.

Sorry man.....I gave up.  I was solo mining for so long and the blocks were slow to find. 

There just seems to be to much hash in a select few pools for DGC which I do no understand.  For miners with 2MH/s or less, they should try and find a pool that has less the 40MH/s total, otherwise they just lose out on coins.

I read up on the altcoins that have came out since I have been only mining DGC since it started, and I decided to give FST a try for a day or two.

For the above mentioned 50 DGC, could you donate it for me to the DGC development fund?

Thanks for providing the server. Sorry I could not be more help to keep it running.

AbiTxGroup,

PM me your address so I can send you a 50 DGC loyalty bonus

The good/bad thing about being in Abilene with a mountain bike is that it is really flat here, so the injury would have been a lot worse on a steep mountain side.  Injury is healing fine, it just takes longer since I went past the 50 year mark.

About the server, the graph you show is not of my miner.  I have been running a steady 2MH/s for a week now.  In fact, we need some more miners here as I have found the last six blocks so I am losing coins compared to solo-mining. 

Found out a little more on this. Clicking on the hash address gives you the result of an orphan block for 176877. One block explorer shows the orphan block (notice that there is no next block entry, only previous block) and the other does not.

The "1" addresses are actually DGC addresses but displayed incorrectly (don't know why).

For example this address: 1PNHvAW4qsu4A5xmf3373TLsPA8ejAmfKp
Is actually this one: DTWPTRSi9HoLh69NPd2fbDWUGHrx1nLdmk

You can confirm by looking at the block explorer for both and seeing that they are identical:
http://dgc.webboise.com/address/1PNHvAW4qsu4A5xmf3373TLsPA8ejAmfKp
http://dgc.webboise.com/address/DTWPTRSi9HoLh69NPd2fbDWUGHrx1nLdmk

It allows you to obtain a consistent and appropriate share difficulty for your hash rate. When higher hash rate miners come on the pool the share difficulty is dynamically updated to accommodate. The resulting higher share difficulty may be to large for your specific hash rate leading to dead shares.

On my miner with 1.44 Mh/s I was getting a share difficulty of around 80 without manually adding the share difficulty. When a miner with 36 Mh/s came on the pool it caused my miners share difficulty to jump all the way to 700. I added +0.0016704 to keep me at a solid 109.

What is the benefit of inputting the share difficulty in cgminer?

worldcoind updated to 0.6.3.1

Maintenance release to get rid of litecoin update message.

Sorry to hear about your injury.  A co-worker of mine just came out of a two month coma from a mountain bike accident so take care of yourself.

For live help I try to be on IRC as much as possible on these channels: #bitcoin, #digitalcoin, #litecoin, #litecoin-dev, #p2pool, #worldcoin, #xpool

Also, new block announcements are made in the #xpool channel except for WDC. WDC block announcements are made in the #worldcoin channel.

Edit:
Thanks! The graphs show you were on for around 15 hours? I've seen people reach full payout levels in around 12 hours but still state to allow 24 since it is dependent on the number of shares others have submitted.

I appreciate that you looked into this CartmanSPC.

I'm new using the block explorers and the info was confusing with what I found.  Thats why I made the original post and then followed up with the other links.

After making those posts, I left soon after to go ride my mountain bike at the lake nearby.  Ended up getting to rowdy while riding and tweaked a nerve in my neck/shoulder.  Dang thing hurts bad enough that just moving a little bit causes muscles to spasm so typing or using a mouse is painful.  Because of this, I have not put any time in researching this.  I will, but it may take a day or two.  Time for more aspirin and more beer, then back to bed. 

BTW, I like this server.  It took a good 40 hours to get to full share payouts, but as I have seen with other miners, the payouts will continue long after I stop mining.

Further evidence of this being a block explorer issue can be seen by doing a search of the block ID on both explorers:

http://dgc.p2pool.nl/search?q=176877
http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/search?q=176877


If you click on the block ID you get the correct payout addresses. Clicking on the hash will give you the incorrect "1" addresses.

Thank you for such a detailed post AbiTxGroup.

This had me scratching my head for a bit but think I tracked it down to a block explorer issue.

If you take the example blocks:

http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/d1c557e8c942f8e5f68e05003d0ed1e0047d664f2db3906188df0b122e2c0843
http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/12489436d5f7ef0483789907cb0b5fd6e96c3c3b340fc2dcc9da00dce2f83fda
http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/d833de70550f8c72e6d4c664a5a475624e3b363b5b9c109f994d7672eabcba98

...and use an alternate block explorer you get Block Not Found except for the last one:

http://dgc.p2pool.nl/block/d1c557e8c942f8e5f68e05003d0ed1e0047d664f2db3906188df0b122e2c0843

http://dgc.p2pool.nl/block/d833de70550f8c72e6d4c664a5a475624e3b363b5b9c109f994d7672eabcba98

I originally used dgc.p2pool.nl but they went offline for a bit. Will switch back since they seem to be doing a better job. The "1" addresses look like BTC to me and can only guess that the block explorer is somehow pulling the wrong info.

Please let me know if you get different results or find any additional information.

To go along with my post above, here are some more things that do not look right, so maybe I am missing something to all of this.

These blocks also show different miner addresses:
http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/12489436d5f7ef0483789907cb0b5fd6e96c3c3b340fc2dcc9da00dce2f83fda

http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/d833de70550f8c72e6d4c664a5a475624e3b363b5b9c109f994d7672eabcba98

http://dgc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/fa57427f0ee1f4a26ed4ab142b7259f3e9cea78a917e3da2f7676f24026b78a1

So all of these show non-dgc wallet addresses.  Now, if you follow the "transaction" link, you see all of the current miner dgc wallet addresses.  For example, lets follow the transaction link to block fa57...24026b78a1 (the last link above). 

I dont understand what the 1???????????????????? addresses are?

On the transaction page, why do some show redeemed and some dont? 

What does "redeemed" mean?

If I find the answers elsewhere, I will come back and post what I find out.
