Yesterday and the day before, I noticed someone was taking advantage of the massive trade delays at Cryptsy to artificially make Dogecoin look extremely profitable ($1m + per day lol) which was driving all of the multi coin mining pools to Doge.
I assume those efforts have either ended or Cryptsy got their act together... I think Tag got hit by at least a couple of those pools. Ouch. Diff is coming down now though. I'd love to see Tag stay off the top ten to avoid that. I like stable difficulty without these radical swings.

Yeah, we get all the weather imaginable at one point or another. Normally in the same week. Nap on the deck on Monday in the sun, build a snow man on Wednesday, gather up the lawn furniture on Friday after the thunderstorm Thursday for the BBQ on Saturday. Exaggeration but not by much.
From NY originally, so I know where you're coming from with that.
It's been weird out here in central CA, too. It was freezing cold two weeks ago, and then 2 days later, 70 degrees. I hate when it freezes out here. I live in the middle of an orchard, so when it freezes at night they turn on these giant wind turbines that move warm air. They sound like a dozen helicopters landing around the house, all night long. It's enough to drive a guy to re-enlist. At least in the Army, I got paid to listen to choppers keeping me up all night lol.

To all the miners out there that celebrate Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
And for the Aussies... I hope Santa gets there in one piece.

Naturally after moving my miners over, we got an ice storm that knocked power out for 28 hours (we were lucky). Now we're getting high wind tomorrow so it will probably go out for a while again. Eh... is what it is. But anyway, I am enjoying the pool. I'm getting quite a number of blocks. I'd have to do the math, but I feel it's almost double what would be expected. I'll take the string of good luck while it lasts.
Does this pool software offer total blocks found by user as one of the stats? I always thought that was a cool stat.
Edit: Never mind. Didn't click around enough apparently. LOL.

LOL... yeah, I'm the same way, Frank. I always end up finding what I'm looking for after I ask where it is. My wife almost always know's what's coming next when I say, "Hey babe..." lol.
Grats on the good luck. It seems to happen to people on the pool. When you think you're just going to be a little fish in a big pond, you end up being a shark. Keep it up, mate!

Fuse, how much bandwidth/month is your pool server using?
To be honest, I don't know. My provider doesn't give me a total usage number. Instead they give me a chart that graphs the upload/download figures. It's not enough to go over the 2-3TB allowance they give me though. I can put in a support ticket to find out if you'd really like to know. I think they'll provide the info if I ask.
No need to inquire, I appreciate it. Was just getting a feel for it. Keep pondering the idea of throwing a pool on one of my offiste servers just for the heck of it and was getting an idea of bandwidth usage.

I bet I could make it work if I had the code.. haha.. well not a bad shot for doing it blind. It's being pushed via the templates likely, I didn't browse through those much.

NICE! I'll work on adding it to the site later today.
Just looking at the code, I'm not sure how to make the graphical widget appear (i'm guessing that's in a config or something), but to make it calculate on the dashboard page, this should work. No guarantees since I don't run the code, this is just going off of what's on the github.. edit public/include/pages/dashboard.inc.php and find where it polls for the network statistics (lines 13-21 on my screen). This is the code to look for:
$aRoundShares = $statistics->getRoundShares();
$dDifficulty = 1;
$dNetworkHashrate = 1;
$iBlock = 0;
if ($bitcoin->can_connect() === true) {
$dDifficulty = $bitcoin->getdifficulty();
$dNetworkHashrate = $bitcoin->getnetworkhashps();
$iBlock = $bitcoin->getblockcount();
}
Below that add this:
// 2013-dec-23 - (begin) manual TAG network calculation: (difficulty * dabs' multiplier 17895)
if ($dNetworkHashrate <= 1) {
$dNetworkHashrate=$dDifficulty*17895;
} else {
//do nothing
}
// 2013-dec-23 - (end)
Again.. totally just doing this blind, but as long as the graphical widget is enabled (which it doesn't appear to be now), that should let us see network rate on the dashboard.
By placing the multiplier in the actual getnetworkhashps function, we could eliminate having to put that block of code in pages, and it should propogate globally.
So I played around with this a little tonight, and it's not as simple as adding the code snippet you provided. The radial graph is called by javascript and references a predefined tagcoind variable. I'm thinking that we should probably just push for Mark to fix the variable call in Tagcoind. Then it would just work everywhere out of the box for everyone.

Fuse,
My pair of Dual-X's would artifact as well, seems to be something to do with the design of the card, hardware, firmware, software... not sure... but the Dual-X's hash like a punk on speed and do not like to stop hashing for anything else. All my other cards will respond quickly and slow the hash-rate as soon as I start using the computer for anything other than mining, but once the Dual-X's get on hash, it almost takes brute force to get them to consider doing anything else, thus significant artifacting even when just running a web browser.
If I was in the USA, I would buy your 7950's, but not worth shipping to Australia.

Good to hear I'm not the only one. I might swap this one for one of the toxics I have in my dad's rig then. This is my day to day rig, and this artifacting will start to wear on me after a while. I can wait until they sort it out in the drivers.
I hear you on the shipping. The world needs teleporters, stat!

+1 to the code. I'll do it as soon as I get this card squared away.
The 280X is fresh out of the box. It hashes fine, no hardware errors, no other issues at all other than the random single pixel artifacts.. This happened with one of my 7950s when I first bought it. I had to roll with the beta drivers at the time and it resolved the issues. I'm hoping it's a driver issue, as everything else, even gaming, works fine. In fact, you almost can't notice it if you're not paying attention.
Edit- definitely a driver issue. Uninstalling the driver to do a roll back install stopped the artifacting completely. Now I just need to find a working driver.
Shoot me an offer on the 7950s in PM. I'd rather sell them here in the states and save on the shipping. PM with pictures incoming.
Oh that blows, artifacting is never good. How old are these? What are your settings? Can it hash without artifacting? Any HW errors? I'd be interested.. but not for a premium price lol

I'm currently trying to get a dual-x 280x working on my main rig, and it's artifacting. Like single pixels all over. It's really annoying. I'm going to try a different driver, and see if that helps. I really don't want to have to send back another item from the last order 
Also, I will probably be posting a WTS on my (x2) gigabyte WF3 7950s, with original boxes and cables. I get 640kh per card. Not sure what they're worth around these parts, but retail is redonkulously high right now. I'd take offers here first if anyone wanted them. TAG & BTC preferred. Pics on request.

I looked at the MPOS source code and I'm fairly sure you can easily put in that special multiplier, so MPOS generates a network hashrate. In fact it should just be 1 line of code on one of the php include files.
Here's something I tossed together which scrapes the difficulty from tagmining.com and then calculates network rate based on that multiplier: http://dragonbunkers.com/networkrate.php
The website isn't mine, I just parked my file there as it's my buddy's website and I run the server, and he's not using his website right now.. haha
