Topic: [DEAD] DeepBit.net PPS+Prop,instant payouts, we pay for INVALID BLOCKS too - page 276. (Read 1601433 times)

I know I've said this before but is the server down ? I'm getting a 500 error on the website ?

If I am not mistaken, the 0.01 is taken out automatically when you send money.  The fee is added to whoever creates the block which holds your transaction and charges a fee.  Honestly, unless you solo mine our need very fast transaction execution, you probably shouldn't bother with using the transaction fee in you bitcoin client.  After the mining phase of bitcoin is over, then you may want to use a transaction fee.  For now, keep it free for the little guys (the big guys can charge each other if they want too).

Slush is not far behind.   However I am in a quandary as to which pool to stick with in the near term.  Slush only takes 2% and Tycho takes 3%, but the difference from long polling and invalids has been no more than 0.5%, so over time payout is slightly better with Slush.  Pretty miniscule overall.  Scoring on Slush is a slight disadvantage due to the need to shut down miners for small periods of time (my 6970 hangs when I try to watch any internet browser embedded video) which means accidental browsing to a page with a video on it (most news sites) will hang my computer, so I need to shut down the miner for some types of web browsing.  Advantage deepbit until slush implements long polling.

Also, I am a little worried about what was announced for BTCMine that closed down new registration.  Where are the reassurances that this can't happen in the two largest pools (potentially undetected).  Having said that, payout want doing do well when I was with them, so I left, but since I left and the announcement, the variance has definitely been in their favor.  Short term I know.

In short, the future holds a lit of promise for the pool that can break out with the best combination of features, fees and security is going to win the battle.

I think BTCMine made a mistake by going to 0% and relying upon donations (I think they will eventually shut down with that move).

Hi,

I've been having a few problems with your website lately, taking a long time to load..
It's got to be on my side because it's only like that in Chrome, no problem with Firefox... any idea what could be causing this ? (Win7)

Besides that, I've been using your pool for a while now and really enjoy it, keep up the good work  

The site is getting really big. We were at 270 Gh/s this morning.

Question: In my bitcoin client I added the 0.01 transaction fee

do I need to increase what I send by 0.01 or will it pull extra to cover that fee, or will it subtract from the amount I send (meaning the recipient gets less)

Thx

DiabloMiner now supports long polling (after much requesting).

It should be blue approximately at least once per hour.
Number of received shares should be greater than 0, but you may need to wait ~20-60 minutes for this.

2 MH/s is a VERY slow mining speed because you are mining with your CPU.
GPU miners run on average at 100-600 MH/s, so their stats are much easier to track on the site.

my client is mining and successfully connected but it is not listed green in My Account settings :/ damn =( can somebody help me?

No.
Average time to generate one share with 2 MH/s is 35 minutes and 47 seconds
So there may be no activity even for one hour (depends on your luck).
When a valid share will be received from you, worker name in the table will turn blue - it means that everything is working.

Remember that balance and blocks history are updated once per hour.

problem solved

Just please be careful and monitor your pool closely.

The main arguments is:
1) I'm do not want lost my servers and break good relations with my hosting.
2) I'm not need investigations (or actions) from FBI or similar gov. organizations

Abuses for such botnet activities - only matter a time.
BTC prices too high now, black market morons (or just stupid persons) start use this.

The argument is that it is unethical for a pool operator to allow a botnet to be connected to the pool so that stolen CPU time can make money on their pool.

It would be pretty obvious if there were accounts with thousands of workers submitting sub-CPU level hashrates.

I think botnet to flood pool, so pool can't operate & goes down.
If pool goes down, then only option is solo mining & those with Ghash/s computer network only gets all coins.
All other forced to BUY instead of mining.

What exactly is "botnet" illegal activity?  Something to do with IRC?  How would this affect the pool?

I have no reasons to suspect my users of illegal activity yet.

That's a very strange decision.
Of course i'm not going to close registration, new users are welcome :)

Seen any botnet activity on your pool?
BTCmine says they have seen some

might pay to watch out.

Thank you!
Great service and reaction time, as always.

   Although it does vary from day to day or even hour to hour as the block size variances creep in.  It almost seems as if when slush is big, then deepbit is smaller and the opposite holds true.  I think one of the other pools will probably break out soon as well as more people look for what makes them happiest.  Ideally, I think 3-5 competing pools of comparable sizes is good for mining and also reduces the likelihood of attack [although I trust Slush and Tycho implicitly and it would take corruption or cracking and hacking to divert their pools].  Now, based pure hash rate or number of members .... well, even that changes too, but both are seeing massive increases.

I am anxious to see what Slush comes up with next when he gets time [i.e. long polling, additional interesting statistics, etc.].  BTW, long polling reduces the load on the pool server and reduces stale shares, so it is in his interest to implement it, so I expect that will be coming before long.
