This is on the todo list for sure.  It was in my original plans pre launch (or at least I had a note about the potential for long rounds causing issues), but its never really come to light until now.   We'll look at implementing something when we can.

it's just a way of expressing small numbers mathematically instead of using a bunch of decimals, for display purposes.

One feature request for the future:
It would be nice if you had a means for breaking up these extended rounds that didn't involve coin changing. We spent ~36 minutes on other coins yesterday and in switching to those for 5-10 minutes at a time we experienced 10 round transitions. For people using old cgminer and having smoother transitions this means maybe 5 minutes of total dead time from the transitions themselves plus 30 something minutes of mining coins half as profitable which would mean maybe a percent and a half of forgone profit. For people using a recent version of cgminer or experiencing worse issues with disconnects on transitions this would mean roughly 50 minutes of mining time spent on fail over plus a couple minutes of dead time which could have an impact of around 2.5% on the day, depending on the assumptions we're making about the fail over choices.

These aren't huge amounts and I imagine that it might be a bit of a pain to implement this sort of fix. A few percent improvement on the highest paying days is nothing to scoff at though, especially once you've dealt with some of the bigger issues at hand.

It could be extremely small but the strange thing is it should still show up since it starts at 0.0000000000 so the 0.00000902 you are saying it is should show up not that weird mix.

Actually 9.02E-6 would be 0.00000902, but basically what matauc12 means. A really small amount.

it's probably because you have very low hash rate so instead of showing 0.0000000000009 it shows it that way.

Something is extremely iffy with this pool my confirmed exchange balance is 9.02E-6 what does that even mean!

Yep, I have some pending deposits on that same nameless exchange with over 1000 confirms now. 

the disconnects are much less frequent and it's pretty much minuscule loses compared to the huge gains of using the pool if you use a failover.

Besides, pretty sure it will be completely fixed soon.

Regarding 0 btc rounds


1) Rounds show as 0 until we have at least 1 matured block (not likely applicable in this case)
2) Rounds that were paid out the previous payout reset to 0
3) If you don't auto-trade the coin it displays 0

The likely cause is #2.  Usually these rounds would have long since rolled off the last 30 rounds table and go unnoticed, but because we have only been doing 5-6 rounds the entire day, they are all hanging around.


#1 will be fixed by showing these as "Pending" or "Updating"  , #2 will be fixed by showing as "Paid" or similar.    And #3 will be fixed by properly displaying your normal coin payout amounts.


Regarding servers, yes, only an EU stratum server atm.  Though I haven't heard many complaints on ping times from North America.  A second one is hopefully coming after the holidays.

Regarding disconnects this morning, I'm still investing the cause, but things have stabilized again as of an hour or so ago.

Regarding the user above not having confirmed exchanged:

1) We've got some pending deposits to an exchange that shall remain nameless with 900+ confirms.  I made the error in judgement of thinking they could accept a deposit in less than 14 hours.    
2) The only other real option for trading had maintenance last night, and has no method for automated trading, meaning not much could be moved before I had to sign off.
3) The last round was 7hrs long, we don't update exchanged numbers until a round has finished regardless of what may be happening behind the scenes.

The coins have to be transferred to these slow ass exchanges, possibly cryptsy which has been taking hours.

its been like 8+hrs and still no increase on my confirmed exchange. and i have like .019BTC sitting in unconfirmed. FYI, i auto-exchange everything to BTC, so no excuses about "oh blah blah blah those numbers dont count coins that you arent exchanging" this does not apply to me.


whats the hold up with getting these coins exchanged?

Are people still getting disconnects? The reason I switched away from this pool for a while was because of that, and there isn't an easy way to tell if things have gone wrong like there is with wemineltc (for example) - their android app and email notifications are very handy.

The greatest thing about doge is once the hype is done and it's not profitable anymore, difficulties will be much lower on other currencies and we'll ride nice profitability of those too.

Seems to be back up now...

Seems under attack ... too bad

I believe it's disconnects. Wonder if the DDOS attacks are happening again because Cows has become much popular wow for DOGE.

end this round already and start sending payouts! DOGE is going down. dont let it take our shares with it.

Same here, can't connect in last 30 mins or so
