CCNA: There i fixed the internet.
any update on scrypt guild. sorry if seeming impatient. just want to have a use for my radeon HD 5450 ( thats supposed to have BFI_INT, but apparently doesnt)

woohoo for 20Khash

None yet.  Ran into a few fun problems in the last 24 hours when starting to do some actual testing of the server against bfgminer & cgminer.  Packet-level junk was interfering with their ability to parse the JSON >_<.  Got that fixed, and now I'm just moving through the code in the same process a miner interacts with the server.

Very close to having the SHA256 side done now.  All that's left is the actual pushing of shares to bitcoind/namecoind when a block is solved, logging the shares to the DB (already tested the function just haven't plugged it in), and then memory cleanup when clients disconnect.

Unfortunately, it looks like Scrypt Guild will probably not be ready until sometime next week.  While I'll probably have a working pool server, I won't have any kind of database/web frontend ready for it to plug into so people can setup accounts, monitor stats, and actually get paid.

fair enough. i think i just got the widest array of mining hardware ive ever seen up and running want a list? all on 3 BBB

Well I was thinking we're on a bit of a roll today. Not so much?

Can't call it a roll yet, but we've finally broken the streak of < 100% shifts.

I cant wait until we are on a roll then  Grin

Definitely improving.

Eleuthria, might you considering lowering your pool fees temporarily to incentivise more people to get off ghash.io and onto your pool ?

Or give loyal customer's that have been mining constantly a late Christmas present?

Anyone else notice their 24 hour earnings drop almost in half the past 2 days or so?

Luck is way down now. Big time.

(24H / 3D / 1W / 2W / 1M): 80.018% / 78.781% / 99.144% / 100.899% / 102.817%

Yeah, not a very nice couple of days.  Funnily, it's almost a perfect inverse of the luck we had from November 8 to November 12.  4 days in a row of +25 to 30%, and now we're at ~3 days of -25 to 30%.

eleuthria,

Can you add auto-payouts with splits by percentage?

I think this is a big advantage that gnash-io currently has over every other mining pool. As mining hardware becomes more and more expensive and power hungry, more and more miners will pool resources to acquire hardware. Many miners are not going to be able to run a Neptune at home.

It would be a big benefit to be able to set-up split payouts in the pool and not have to manually manage them.

I would like to see this also.  I've been with Guild for a long time, but the last of my current miners were switched because of the auto pay shares.

Also back in 2011 there was no pool even close to DeepBit size that was free.

That's kind of my point.

From what I can piece together Ghash is NOT a free pool.

It is.

There is no such thing as something for nothing.

As I said they have their own ASIC revenue and they have plenty of "customers" paying them.

They make money from trading on cex.io, so Ghash.io is free from independent miners such as me and many others.

And because I am always suspicious of 3rd party claims I like to verify things myself, so I ran my own calculations:

I started mining with them around 3am UK time on 03.01.2014, so in about 1 hour that will be exactly 1 week mining.
My average hashrate is 3200GH/s.
For that 1 week period I have mined 8.54603089BTC exactly (not counting the last 1 hour of the full 1 week), while the calculator says 7.94166635 BTC per week.
So (8.54603089/7.94166635)*100 = 107.6% luck
So all looks good.

Mining since May 2011.
Once the new backend is deployed, the next project on the list is something that's been mentioned in IRC a few times:  Scrypt Guild.

Woohoo!  Multipool will get competition?  It sure needs it!

M

"Scrypt Guild Alpha" is *hopefully* going to be up this weekend, likely just for pure LTC.  But the goal is automatic profit switching among a variety of scrypt coins.  A part of this Stratum Rewrite involves better multi-coin support.  The following is the current list of projects, and expected order:


1) SHA256 Stratum Update
2) Scrypt Guild Alpha (Single Scrypt Coin)
3) SHA256 Merged Mining Update (better NMC support and framework for multiple MM coins like IXC/DVC)
4) Scrypt Guild Beta (Multiple Coin Support, Manual Switching via WebUI)

After that, I'll see which looks faster to implement, DVC/IXC added to BTC Guild, or auto-switching options on Scrypt Guild based on 12-hour weighted average prices.


Ideally, the 4 already identified with a priority will all be complete in under 2 weeks (first two will definitely be done by this weekend), especially with how fast the final pieces are falling into place.
This is really exciting developments. Looks like I might have to dust off those old stacks of GPUs and get involved. Grin Thanks for this news. You might look into ProtoShares too, seems less pump and dump over some of these other Alts.
