How do I request a higher limit on the number of workers?  It says that I have hit the limit.  In total I will have about 31 workers.

Thanks

btw, thanks for adding Balances to the Cashier tab. I'll put your pool back into rotation.

Not sure if some miners sometimes have problems connecting to the server. would be great if anyone would tell me if he experiences any issues.

btw: round/block #2 has been credited

Maybe I didnt express myself clear enough. The expected value of a share is higher in an early stage of a round compared to a late stage.

You don't say this is false, do you?

the logic behind pool hopping is to move from pool to pool hoping for short rounds , this does not mean " Your shares even have a higher value in the beginning of a round instead of the end" as all shares in a proportional round are the same value whenever the round ends.

as soon as the 2nd solved block has 120 confirms, it will be split among all miners. it has not been paid out so far. the 0.02 in your account are from the first solved block.

I send 10,000 valid shares on the last round which had 1,109,135 total shares.

My balance is now 0,02 BTC where it should be at least 0,5 BTC.

What is wrong there?

- SSL Certificate Renewed.
- fydel's BTC 2.00000000 bonus paid out

was out all day..
a block was found. 46 confirms so far. As you can see confirmation tracker is not build yet and listing all solved blocks also had a bug. fixed now.

also congrats to fydel, who found the 2nd block and will receive 2 additional Bitcoins.


of course every shares has the same value in the end when paid out, but nevertheless the expectation of btc per share is higher in the beginning of a new round than if the round is already filled with lots of shares. that's the logic behind pool hoppers..

yeah wtfman.

Yeh, would be great if you actually list the finished blocks and pending confirmation bitcoins earned.

no, seems like our 2nd block is found, but yet not shown in the ui. just wait to be confirmed from wtfman.

round #2 progress deleted?

sorry? Doesn't make sense on a proportional pool.
By this calculation all shares have the same value at the end of the block.
The only thing that can make a difference is the length of the round, shares in short rounds are worth more than shares in long rounds.

feel free to show me whatever you got. dont want anyone to have doubts about the integrity of the pool, your logs could help clarify the situation.

edit: I do believe you I just thought it was odd. I appreciate you finally fixing the site. Looking back at the logs i do have which only go back to the 7th, i dont see any shares. SO I will accept that. I do think you should move some of that info. Like hawks was saying the upper right corner isnt the first place people look. I clicked everywhere looking, oviously looking for a number differnt than what i saw in the top right corner, but still it doesnt seem to obvious. Thanks again and good luck with the pool

hey joulesbeef, there was no crediting issue with hawks, he just did not find the balance on the site.

About the issue, which actually is none. The logs are probably the safest indicator to tell if you did mine before that date or not. Obviously you have to trust me on this one, since logs could be faked, but I dont really see much of a reason for me to do so, except if I would not want to get blamed for uncredited shares. But I could handle that even if I am afraid of this ever happening. ;>

Also in the DB I can see that you have signed up a week before the block was found. I checked your miners, which is only one and according to the logs he was first active shortly after the block was found. Also there is no possibility that the miner has been deleted or something like that, which could cause a loss of the data since the website is not able to do this nor are you able to mine with a random miner's username.

No need to worry. Your shares even have a higher value in the beginning of a round instead of the end, so theoretically you could be happy

Hmmm.. II guess i will have to take your word for it, as I dont keep as good of logs as hawks here, But i added you to the client we both use on the second a full 2 days before hawks. I'll try to find what databases I have here that i havent deleted but i really should have had shares before the 8th, concidering I was the first one to add your site.

I agree, that the usability overall can be improved. However, every one has noticed that some essential things were missing and also now there are still some more useful things to do in my opinion. I appreciate every feedback of course and I keep it in mind, but atm I dont want to invest too much time in details. When I put it in the top right corner, I thought exactly opposed to you. Since so many people have widescreen LCD displays I figured the top right bar is a good choice to place the balance, since there is only little scrolling.

But I've also added the balance to the cashier real quick. It is obviously true, that ppl expect the balance there.

I have no clue what makes the arrows appear in the error message, but it is meant to be just a message saying: Minimum withdrawal is ฿ 0.1.

Also we do not auto pay left balance after X time of idling (at least so far). If you are not mining with us any more feel free to check back at a later time.

 

Ah ok. Then it's just a usability error. The last place on a screen I'd ever look for my balance is the upper right hand corner. Especially considering I have a Cashier section (which seems a logical place to display balance), a Profile section (which also seems a somewhat logical place to display balance), a Miners section (which seems a logical place to display earnings from a worker), and a Statistics section (which seems a logical place to display earnings per round or block). The least logical place seems to be in the site header, since there is a User Area designated where I'd expect to find, you know, my user data.

Now, you might say "well, it's with all the other important information in the header" and you would be right if I were using an 800x600 monitor but since I (and I think a lot of people) now use widescreen monitors, the user data in the header get's shipped off to never-see-ville in the far right corner. And nothing in the big blank space in between informs a user that there is anything useful to look at way over there:


Sorry to be a hard case about this. But usability issues are a pet peeve and I can tell you are trying to be a usable site. I'd probably be less dickish about the usability stuff if, after all of this, I wasn't met with the following when I tried to cash out:


Somehow clicking the arrow down key didn't change my minimum withdrawal to 0.

So do you autopay balance after a week of idle like other pools or should I just consider my bitcents a donation to the pool?
