Yeah, I haven't seem my balance stuck majority of the day before.

It seems like ghash is getting them all.
I hope it picks up soon.

Is the bitcoin pool having isssues. Since 2014-02-23 04:22:41 AM block shift, I have noticed a sudden drop in number of blocks, pay per share has has been cut by 10 and last few shifts are plain zeros.

I something up or am I missing something ?

I think this is just a period of bad luck. It will turn around.

Yeah I too am waiting on automatic btc conversion, then I'll use it full time.

I'm assuming you're going to convert it at block generation in one big lump then distribute? Then you only have to make 1 trade.

YAY!!! SCRYPTGUILD IS UP!!! Is there a new forum thread for it?

Holding off on a separate forum post until automatic BTC conversion is available.

Sounds good! Super excited to be part of the beta testers with scryptguild. BTCguild has been wicked good to me (even though I started off with Slush and he's pretty awesome too) but the pool reliability, management, and updates are outstanding. I am hoping for the same Over The Top standards that I'm accustomed to on Scryptguild. I'll stop spamming SG now, I'm just really happy to have a place to mine scrypt coins without having to switch back and forth manually...

ScryptGuild is now in beta, with public registration available. You can now convert your coins to BTC through the website. Automated conversion settings will be coming out later this week as well for those who simply want to change their coins over immediately.

This is the 2nd to last post advertising ScryptGuild from me in this thread. The next post specifically advertising it will be when it leaves "Beta" status. Support questions and suggestions for ScryptGuild should be directed to IRC or Email, and not the BTC Guild forum thread.

Hi
I have a technical qouestion....

CGMiner tells me an average of 115.9Gh/s.
My Dashboard says (after a counter-reset and about 5 minutes of wait) 108.6Gh/s.

Why is this difference?

Your local miner is your raw speed. It includes rejects and hardware errors. The pool side is your effective speed. BTC Guild only counts accepted shares (some pools include rejects) for measuring your speed. You will *always* see a variance on any pool. BTC Guild's average gets more accurate the longer you're running (up to 1 hour), but even at an hour of information your estimated speed will always be 5-10% above or below. For ASICs, it will tend to be on the lower end of that range due to hardware errors, which normally account for 1-3% of the difference.

Cgminer doesn't count hardware errors in the hash rate - though it does count rejects/stales.

Yes KFC does count hardware errors in their hash rate, but that isn't like that in the cgminer code.

Why is BTCGuild now only updating about 1/4 of my accepted shares in the PPLNS Shift Statistics?
I have tested it a few times by waiting for the start of a new shift and resetting all worker summaries then watching the stats on the total shares increase as normal, but the PPLNS Shift stats lagging behind by at least 1/4 of what it should be. Total mining speed does fluctuate a little as to be expected, but the shift stats is what determines our payout so im not overly happy with what im seeing here.
Is anyone else seeing the same sort of difference?

*********************

Ok, just figured it out, yesterday I tried to change one of my miners to PPS, but the website was having issues and it didn't let me change, or so I thought.
Even though after the website glitch the worker showed as PPLNS on the worker page, it must have been PPS the whole time, hence only seeing 1/4 at the PPLNS stats.
I just changed it to PPS and back again and its all showing good now. So I guess I haven't missed out on any shares at all, although I would have rathered having PPLNS for the whole lot as it generates more income, albeit with the combination of luck of course.

Unless your miner is logging it, no. BTC Guild doesn't associate the user with the specific block that was solved, just that the user solved a block.

I don't think that the miner does.

Figured so, thanks for the answer!

Another AntMiner reporting in, having found a block:

Is there any way to distinguish which block it actually was, supposedly happened today.

Eleuthria Here is another stupid question from me. How does GHash get block #286521 4 seconds before we get the block before it? Maybe this is a Blockchain mistake or reporting problem?

286521 (Hauptkette) 2014-02-18 14:05:16 GHash.IO
286520 (Hauptkette) 2014-02-18 14:05:20 BTC

Timestamps on blocks are not trustworthy. The "Received Time" on blockchain.info is normally fairly good though.

I'm suspicious because it is *exactly* what it would look like if somebody was engaged in selfish mining.

So other than Ghash owning up, what can be done if anything ?

Not a whole lot, other than what I've contemplated doing for months: Dropping paid orphans and dropping the fee 1% to compensate. It ends up being roughly the same, except it doesn't involve me having a random 24 hour period where I pay out $50,000 worth of BTC for blocks that were orphaned.

For now I can just keep watching to see if this pops up again. It's suspicious, but the unfortunate thing is selfish mining is hard to detect with certainty, and 3 events in 24 hours, while highly unusual, is NOT enough evidence to base a reaction off of.

I would actually prefer a 1% pool fee and no paid orphans, and it would give the impression that BtcGuild lowered pool fees even if miners ended up receiving the exact same return.

I suspect that BtcGuild would gain a significant amount of hashrate by dropping fees to 1% and not paying out orphans.

I think many people perceive that BtcGuild is more expensive than it actually is because they are not aware of how orphans impact payouts.

He said "by" 1%, not "to" 1%.

Good point, I missed that. I guess it was wishful thinking on my part.
