The only reason why I brought it up was from my previous post that no one answered. Maybe I'll just ask it again here.

If my hash rate according to my miner and cgminer us a 560Gh/s average, why does BTC Guild report back my speeds at 529-580 inconsistently?

Pools estimate your speed according to the shares your worker submits. Being that random chance AKA "Luck" is involved these share submissions shares are not always found at the same rate by your mining hardware.

Therefore there will be variance in what the pool reports as the pools have no way to tell at what rate your hardware is really hashing.

Your reported speed seems to be in the correct range.

I also saw that ghash.io pool size. Does make you wonder, 0 fees and growing at a quick rate. If you are getting rewarded the same amount, is it loyalty that people stick around? Just trying to understand, as we all hate fees. I also don't know how a pool operator makes money. Are the pool fees how The Guild makes money? If yes, then how the heck the other 0 fee pools keep servers going with no fees? Scratching my head.

Lower performance, less support, less time spent upgrading and maintaining servers (both frontend and backend). Ghash.io's stability is abysmal by any reasonable standard. The only reason they're so big is more than 50% of their speed is a private farm of ASICs since they're acquiring them basically at cost from BitFury.

As I said before I'm sure it is something I can check, I just don't know how. All my error rates are low and cgminer itself tells me I'm good. Is it a lag thing between my setup here?

Because I haven't been able to get consistent rates, that's why I was going to try another pool to see what happens. But I really hate touching or changing things around just for testing.
Thanks

This is NOT a true statement.

If your not paying for a product then YOU are the product.

Hi eleuthria, I have been mining at BTCGuild for sometime, not with alot of hashing power, but enough. Now I have some cubes and alot of others do too. Sells have increased and we need a "getwork" service. It's turned off, will you set it back up so we can mine at the best pool, it's a service that is in need. Will you help us? jesse11

You should ALWAYS use a Stratum Proxy for ASICMINER Blades/Cubes. They are not designed for working on remote servers via getwork and you will lose a significant amount of performance doing so. Run a stratum proxy on the same local network as the blades/cubes in order to get maximum performance.

What I'm asking, will you setup a Stratum Proxy as a service for Blades/Cubes users? Small fees or donations? It's a service that is needed. Something like this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/free-cloud-based-stratum-proxy-for-slush-btcguild-beta-292170

Running a remote proxy has the same problem as trying to use getwork on a remote server. You are losing performance if you attempt to do so. Proxies are not difficult to run, and can be done on virtually any level of hardware.

My miner has a very low error rate, and tells me it hashes at 560 average at a constant. I check my hash rate on the Guild and it dips to 529 all the way up to 580, which I don't think my miner can even go. Why are there such inconsistent hashing rates according to the Guild site and not my local miner stats? I'm sure there is a reasonable reason for this, I just don't know how to check or tell why.

is there still a getwork server?

No, you need to use a proxy.

All is one with the force now. Mining away, I don't know if you did something Mike or the gods of bitcoin just had mercy on me but it is working.

Again, sorry for the port scan, it was a last resort to see what was wrong.

Absolutely nothing has happened in the last few weeks, so...you're welcome? Tongue

The only thing that has happened since your last post about the problem is I drove 450 miles with a car full of electronics and 2 cats.

I hope the electronics were ok after that long drive, lol

Must have been the bitcoin gods, either way, glad it is working again.

Good evening,
It *is* on your end, otherwise I'd have an inbox with a couple hundred emails and a pool with a ton of speed missing. My only guess is your system doesn't like the redirect DNS, since you're connecting to the verification server, it's sending you the redirect, and then 1 second later it's complaining about not responding with the old pool URL in there.

Try connecting directly to the redirection server?

Still shows dead. Even tried 198.245.63.145 and it will connect then drop. Changed my dns to google and still the same. My last share was 20 hours ago, so it happened last night and I can't get for the life of me try to get it to connect.

198.245.63.145 is the verification server. You're only on that server for the very first submission. Set your miner to connect to the URL it's redirecting you to instead and see if that fixes it.

You're talk about "stratum-lb-usa48.btcguild.com:3333", tried it, same result connect then dead.

Are you sure you're using the right worker name? Not using a '.' instead of a '_'? or something like that. There is absolutely nothing wrong on the servers (~24,000 connected users). Nothing has changed in weeks either.

Maybe you should have them try one of the private servers? just a thought.

Private servers?
