Yeah, ive been meaning to, but that would mean a restart and a restart is a PITA right now even though an SSD makes it boot faster.

gotta start up. login. open realtemp, msi AB, gui miner, change a few settignfs here and there. blargh.

doesnt sound too bad now that i think about it.

So google's dns is recommended?

A Windows machine shouldn't require a reboot when changing network settings, but 2K/XP does (Vista and 7 do as well if you change work group or domain name, but not if you make DNS changes ... and for me, I just do it on my router anyway, so it is transparent to all networked devices).

As far as the rest, put shortcuts to them in your start up folder. Afterburner can be configured to start with windows as can your bitcoin client. At least with deepbit.net, you don't loose a ton of "work" if you are forced to reboot towards the end of a long round [the score based servers really ding you for that ... I changed my mind and prefer proportional

].

One thing I noticed, when using Pay-per-share, the history column will not tell me how much BTC I made in the last 24 hours. Can a counter be added there, something that keeps count of how many shares I completed in the last 24h?

every 24 hours, u should just reset share counter and do the math yourself for now

Refresh in 24 hours for 4-5 addresses shouldn't be a problem. Problem is when the majority of low-cost ISPs have crappy DNS service and maintenance ...

For Windows based mining rigs it's good to use apps such as FastCache or similar and setup them to renew locally stored ips<->domains on every 24 hours. This should be enough to make the mining more reliable cause for example Google DNS servers don't provide 99.9999% online service.

Manually restricting refresh to 24 hours will make things much worse, don't do that.

DNS record for deepbit can be updated automatically to move miners from one server to another.

Running a script and a daemon that do this on some distro is good decision too...

I'd suggest sticking with local servers found by http://code.google.com/p/namebench/

I see some are having DNS problems and others recommending Googles DNS. I would like to recommend, to those on a Windows system, to give DNS benchmark a try by Steve Gibson http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm. Using this tool you can find the best DNS server for your connection.

No, it's another problem.
Those DNS-servers don't respect TTL field and still point to an old IP when it should be new already.

Today I got no stales...
Is that normal? I mean, in the last few weeks I got about 1% stales, it should be about 4-5 today.
I'll report next day again, if I get no stales.

Quote from page
"The point made above about the suitability — to you — of candidate nameservers is a crucial one, since everything is about where you are located relative to the nameservers being tested. You might see someone talking about how fast some specific DNS nameservers are for them, but unless you share their location there's absolutely no guarantee that the same nameservers would perform as well for you. ONLY by benchmarking DNS resolvers from your own location, as this DNS Benchmark does, can you compare nameserver performance where it matters . . . right where you're computer is."

Mr. Gibson's knowledge of networks has been a great help to me for many years. I hope he can help you, if you are in the need, as well.

By the way he is a Bitcoin solo miner and has done a very nice netcast about Bitcoin http://www.grc.com/sn/sn-287.htm

Yeah Google's DNS IMO is the best.

holy crap. finally deepbit.net is back to its snappy self.
now it's back to its original self! yee

The advice about DNS server goes to you too.
Usually slow page loads are experienced when you use backup server instead of main one, so it would be nice to know, why that happened to you.

wow this is huge improvement, i just noticed i'm not waiting ~10 seconds to load anymore, thank you
Tycho, do you take donations? I may send some btc to support you! Cheesy

...and to you too. Hey, people, WHY didn't anyone told me about the slow loading ? I just didn't knew about it...
Thanks for your support. Address for donations is in the bottom left corner of the site, but it was just my job to fix things

When I try to refresh balance in GUIMiner with my API it says Connection error. Some kind of bug?? Can you take a view for it Trycho? It works good for me 2 hours ago.

Should be fixed at this moment already, try again.
