slush it's known to have implemented a scoring system a while ago to make hopping not feasible, don't worry about that and let your hopper make his job Wink

Wait, I should not worry about not earning any BTC for the shares I submitted?  Sad

He meant dont use slush if you are concerned, its not a very practical place to hop at.
Well, slush's scoring algorithm is know broken, so while you won't earn a lot/anything on long rounds, on short rounds you will earn a LOT more, even more than prop. That's why it is enabled by default, but only until ~10% of difficulty (though that seems to have been a bit funky, hopefully it's already fixed). Slush is definitely hoppable, but has higher variance than other pools.

Whoa, just downloaded c00w's latest after hearing everyone talk about it. Looks PHENOMENAL. I'll be switching back from ryouiki's fork when I get home from work tonight methinks  Grin

BTW, I haven't had a chance to really dig, is slicing implemented in c00w's branch yet or is that still in the works?

We should set up a page somewhere (maybe a wiki?) that tracks the various pools and their scoring method / hoppability status

We can use this page as a starting point https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools

copy / paste / edit to a new page. Tongue

yes this.. +1 and all that. I constantly forget why we stop mining people and sometimes you get one of the forks and it will be mining one we stopped.. and you have to search to see if we stopped mining due to a score change or did they just change their api or w/e.

@bitcoindaddy, you could search a little more info on that or read this http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=1976.msg53701#msg53701

Thanks. Are there any other pools I should avoid which have a role "mine" in the default config? I assumed those would be safe or "beneficial" to mine if they were in the config since he has been taking out the "bad" ones before.

the pool are changing on a daily basis, so you you could search the previous pages for info when you have some time or read future posts in this thread to better make your decisions Wink

like the merging you are doing. New hopper looks nice.

one small thing... in the password.py.default

can you copy and paste the pools  that arent in use and the ones that are.... into the right section.

sure it will annoy someone who isnt away of the pools we have disabled to fill up that "pools in use" section to only find out most of them arent.. and then worse, find out that a good bit of the pools "not in use dont worry about changing the user or pass" are actually in use and you are mining for someone else.

and BTC world.. are they still screwing stats? safe to remove them? dont even think i got an account there.

Anyone else getting this error:
Code:
Caught, jsonrpc_call insides
DNS lookup failed: address 'http' not found: [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname.
I get it from time to time, doesn't really break anything but I wonder if it's something I broke myself during a merge or if others see it as well?

Check your config...  I'm betting you have http:// before the mine_address of a pool
Thanks, you solved it!

Odd things are going on at slush's pool right now. He said he had database problems and claimed that they're fixed, but the estimated reward continues to plummet if you stop mining in the middle of the round and you end up not getting paid for your work. I don't know if that's still the database problem or some anti-hopper mechanism.
I have the same with Eclipse
one round
1505    shares
another round
6075    shares
and because
last share submitted for block is more than 6 hours prior to the block ending the early shares are nothing worth

In another block I have ~ 4500 shares
and
in block xx I have ~ 2100 shares
in block stats to both listed
my shares = 0

I think I will disable Eclipse now...



You should not have hopped eclipse for a long time now, they moved from prop more than a week ago.
