So I've started doing bitcoin mining with my gaming PC when I'm not playing games. Using GPU mining with a 5770, I'm averaging 184.0 Mhashes/sec, and contributing 0.02% to the pool.

Is that good? What's the average percent contributed?

We already have SSL cert and https is available.
All website users will be automatically switched to https protocol in about 20 minutes.

That is really cool. Thanks! Smiley

I have a really big problem! I had an account on deepbit and I named it [email protected] which was a fake one used just as a login. I could work on it for longer time, but last day I get a communicate that I need to set up a new wallet address and confirm it by email sent to me (to [email protected]). Now I made a new account with my email which is the same but [email protected]  couse Im the owner of the pl domain both have the same password and I can enter them but  I dont know how can i get my BTC money from the first account if I cant confirm anything on nonexisting email! Before that day I just needed to click save and address was ok. Please help me!
I already answered to your PM, but your old login in the PM was not the same as here. Which is the correct one ?

Tycho would you consider adding https functionality to your website for increased security.  It would help prevent sniffing logon attempts over http!!! Yeay SSL

for example using:
http://www.cacert.org/

its free and what ive heard its not bad service.

Phoenix 1.47 work just fine with Deepbit and shows stale (rejected) properly unlike 1.45.
Some people reported that Phoenix miner's hashrate display shows bigger hashrate than they really have.
I don't know if it's true or not, so I'm asking about the miner.

It is not.  They are confusing the local hashrate with the hashrate perceived by the server [submitted shares to determine hashrate].  I get the same [with tweaking parameters] using Phoenix as poclbm [with tweaking parameters].  I have since 1.3 when I first tried it.  Only problem I found was it wasn't showing rejected shares in version 1.45, but it is in 1.47.  I tested for a short period this morning against Deepbit and it was fine.

What are the best parameter tweaks?  Maybe ask rate = 1 Hz and 'single kernel execution' at 1/5 frames/sec -or- less?  I don't particularly care about 'desktop lag'.

Thanks!

I'm using the proportional payout method, but I wanted to know if there's any way to view what my estimated proportion is. I'm currently using three GTX465s, and I'm going to be building a new rig specifically for mining soon, but until that time, I wanted to see what would be more profitable; pay per share or proportional.
Open your advanced settings page and look if the option for hiding percentage is enabled. If the percentage display is not hidden, you will see your proportion on the account page.

Thank you for your help. Looking forward to mining with you.

Ok, if you look at it that way, it is 10%.
So how about reducing the fee, say, to 5%?
My share price for PPS is calculated as 45 / current_difficulty - that's why it should be 10%
Sorry, but 5% is impossible. That will be a net loss for me.
why not do 7% then?

Auctioneers voice
"7.5.. do I hear 7.5?
7.25 from the lady in the back....
8.. 8 any takers on 8...."

LOL you goof
Anything i gotta do to get the percentage down :3

Testing
I have my auto payout set at 10 BTC, however sometimes 15-18 BTC will collect into my deepbit before it actually gets auto-sent off...Why is this?
edit; I set it at 10 and it seems to be depositing around 17.2 instead.
Autopayment is triggered after 24 hours since last payout, so if you earn more during that 24 hours period you will get more than 10

That seems to be it, Thanks!

I've somehow found 9, "Number of blocks found by you: 9" which would have equaled 450 BTC when in actuality I've only gained 230 BTC. I know that this is a pool and that we are *pooling* our luck, and that I would have made the 230 BTC regardless of how many blocks I found, it's just interesting to know that my luck is above average. It makes me wonder how I would have fared solo-mining. However, I greatly prefer consistent payouts.

Cheers to all the BTC we've made so far!

Don't believe in luck; there is no such thing [well, I am a rationalist in that respect].  Simply statistics which are completely random.  Sometimes, one person benefits, even over long periods of time, by beating the odds, but that is how statistics work.  One could call that luck, but that would be putting the supernatural into something what is clearly mathematical in nature. 

If allowed to run for a long enough time [without difficulty changes which affect the statistics ever so slightly due to the "quantum" nature of shares ... you can only submit an entire share, so there is always some work wasted when working on stale shares or dumping the share in progress due to a long polling notification to move on to new work], you would probably find that your payout from the pool would indeed be 3% under what you would have made solo.  Again, that would be over a long period of time.  Even with difficulty included, if you are using reasonable hardware, you will, over a long time, average out to that same ~97% of solo mining.  There are always individuals who escape the odds over long periods of time; especially in a large population, however, the mining population is not really all that large.  Probably in the several thousands if I had to guess [some of those have huge hashing power though and I bet they can report convergence on 97% over time much more quickly].

"Number of blocks found by you: 1"

Awesome! Thanks for that info!

My pleasure.  I had found two with my "slow" 570GTX (about 133MH/s) and have been running a 6970 since [so, about 5 out of 6 weeks .. I only used the other card for one week] and haven't found a block with any pool since Smiley  Go figure.

I should say that I found both blocks with deepbit.  I was using Slush first, then deepbit, so it wasn't even a week with that "slow" card.

I assume a Bold "Shares" Portion on the Statistics page means I solved that block? Otherwise I see no indication that I have ever solved a block.

Yes!  If you hit the advanced tab [where you set the payout threshold] you will see how many blocks that you have solved EVER on deepbit.

just realized that block every 13 minutes means 5538 btc per day (with current difficulty) and that is eleven to thirteen hundreds $ daily for [Tycho] depending on price (without even including higher fee from pps)... not a bad business, is it? Cheesy

i just wish that i found about bitcoins few months earlier... just like everyone else is Cheesy

You forgot to multiple by 0.03 .. so 166BTC * $8.00 (current) = $1329.23  I was about to correct you and see that you already included the 3% Smiley
