I have been noticing something weird over the last few days.  I usually keep the statistics page open to see progress and check on luck every once in awhile.  Now, I've been having a few moments where I could have sworn my BTC balance at the top right said one thing but infact said another.  Well, just a moment ago after about an hour I refresh and noticed my BTC balance dropped by .01.  And if this is infact what was happening before, there were other instances where I say my balance drop by .01 or .02.

So it leads me to ask what is going on?  Is the 3% fee taken out an hour or more later for a previous batch of rewards or something?

This is happening to me as well. I was at 4.70 BTC and read a few more forum posts (not this one) and then clicked on statistics, now I'm at 4.69. WTF?

No, that's not the way it works. Your balance should decrease only after withdrawing BTC.
PM me your login name please.

Actually, I already have that set, I meant to ask if there could be a setting to display it in AM/PM instead of 24-hour.
EDIT:
Created my own fix and thought I'd share, save as something.user.js and drag into chrome.

Thanks.............

Ah. That's a Tycho request Wink

Is there any way we can have all the block and payment times displayed in local time?

https://deepbit.net/settings

There's a pull-down for Time Zone settings.

Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name   Deepbit AM/PM
// @description Change Deepbit 24-hour time to AM/PM format
// @include  http://deepbit.net/*
// @include  https://deepbit.net/*
// ==/UserScript==

function convertTime(time) {
hour = time.substring(0, 2);
rest = time.substring(2);
if (hour == 0) {
hour = 12;
rest += " AM";
} else if (hour < 12) {
rest += " AM";
} else {
hour = hour - 12;
rest += " PM";
if (hour < 10) {
hour = "0" + hour;
}
}

return hour + rest;
}

matches = document.documentElement.innerHTML.match(/\d\d:\d\d(:\d\d)?/g);

tempHTML = document.documentElement.innerHTML;

for (i = 0; i < matches.length; i++) {
tempHTML = tempHTML.replace(matches[i], convertTime(matches[i]));
}

document.documentElement.innerHTML = tempHTML;

Deepbit down?

Website was down for a bit.  The pool wasn't.

Thankfully, sometime during the wee hours of the morning, my payment from yesterday got confirmed.  But it took something like 20 hours.

I think something strange is going on over at deepbit wrt. to daily payments.  I don't think they're intentionally withholding.  I think it's some kind of odd bug somewhere in the hash between transactions, blocks, and clients.
It happened a few times at deepbit after the bitcoind restarts.
This time I forgot to reconfigure bitcoind to accept many free TXes after doing some maintenance on my servers.

Now I included those settings in startup configuration script, so I hope it wont happen again.

Thank you, [Tycho]!  That explains a lot!

I'm loving the -22.0% for the last 24hrs just wish I was having better luck in the exchanges Wink

Average shares per block: 1753095 (-7.7%)
Average in last 24 hours: 1524625 (-23.9%)

I could use that luck for the rest of this difficulty level Wink

AFAIK Deepbit process it's own payments when it cracks blocks regardless of tx fess, so it shouldn't take any longer than the time it takes for DB to crack a new one for you to get paid.

You would think this is the case, but it isn't.  There was a public patch for processing your own non-fee TX's when you solve a block, but I don't think [Tycho] has it patched in.

My hunch is that if you get paid and your client isn't up and running (and up-to-date) when the payment occurs, you get cast into the void of payments that take forever.

Nah, when a payment is broadcast (either through sendmany or by a single client), all that matters is that other nodes relay the payment.
The receiving client doesn't even have to be online; That's why offline wallets work.

The only thing which isn't a constant is priority of the payment.
The less tx fee (or none at all), the lower priority it gets in the list of transactions to be verified by miners.

It's safe to say 'everyone' can afford an optional 0.005 fee to get their payment in a reasonable time. I'd pay it every time on deepbit.

Yup, I see my transaction again on bitcoincharts.  It has a priority of 0:

I hope this doesn't continue.

Yeah, this situation with deepbit seems new.

Thankfully, sometime during the wee hours of the morning, my payment from yesterday got confirmed.  But it took something like 20 hours.

Unfortunately, my daily payment for "today" seems to be doing the same thing as yesterday though (eg., taking much, much, longer than payments have for me in the past from deepbit).

I think something strange is going on over at deepbit wrt. to daily payments.  I don't think they're intentionally withholding.  I think it's some kind of odd bug somewhere in the hash between transactions, blocks, and clients. 

My hunch is that if you get paid and your client isn't up and running (and up-to-date) when the payment occurs, you get cast into the void of payments that take forever.

Either way, if it now takes hours and hours to get payment, then deepbit isn't really a viable option for me anymore.  Too bad.

EDIT:  is there a way to have Deepbit pay 0.01 BTC transaction fee when auto-payment triggers?  I'm fine paying that especially if it helps alleviate this horrible lag spike in my daily quota / payment.
You want deepbit to reduce 0.01 BTC from your payment & use it as transaction fee to transfer bitcoins to your address?

Doesn't sound bad. If there was a checkbox for this, I'd use it every time. Could be 0.005 or 0.01, either way the priority transactions would be a very nice feature.

1 pool I mine on (bitcoins.lc) uses a 0.01 fee automatically and their payments always arrive within an hour or so.
