tycho typed cat /etc/resolv.conf on one of his nix machines and totally ruined our luck.
he needs to obviously touch it. unzip it. finger it. mount it. fsck it! yes! yes! gasp!
then lady luck will be ours again.
do it.

As you may know, our pool is offering PPS mode too, so we are very careful about possible bugs that may cause longer rounds because we are paying our own funds to our clients during bad luck periods.
You removed the option on the site for payment types eg. pps or is it in a sneaky place where i cant see it :p
thx
It's in the same place it has always been. Just click on the worker and change the config under worker payout method.

For Heaven's sake, give Deepbit a chance! After all it's one of (if not) the best pools around. Seems some of you never mined with a pool that had about 4 or 5 days to solve a block. As per good luck and bad luck; everything is coming down to equilibrium in the end. Keep it up Tycho. You're doing a great job.

you did much more better for many weeks in the past but now it seems your luck is over. so my question was easy what did you change on your setup? I ask you what "DC" is and no answer from you. something changed no matter if it is at your side or in the bitcoin network. don't call me new to bitcoin mining, I can count one and one together. you had obviously problems this week and I ask for the reason of that.
Tycho probably has to remain more diplomatic than me, so allow me to say this in his place: either you are indeed very new to mining, or frankly, you are an idiot.
A pool that is having issues will have trouble producing getworks and accepting shares. So you can see miners that wont connect, dropping hashrate, high % stale shares etc. Deepbit is not immune from such problems, but its rare, and its not happening now. But whether or not those submitted valid shares produce blocks or not is only dependant on one single thing: LUCK. There isnt a bloody thing a poolop can do to improve luck (yes, im ignoring orphans and stale blocks).

last found block was at 24.08 12:49:55 according to the stats. why is 50BTC better with lower Thash/sec? --> http://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs
Looks like you are new to bitcoin mining.1. Blockchain.info's data may be wrong and usually IS wrong. They can only guess who mined those blocks.
Real stats can be found here: http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/chart.php
2. Block mining process is very random. Usually you get more blocks with higher hashrate, but short-term variance is pretty high, especially when difficulty is all-time high too. For last week we are doing much better than average/expected - see "luck meter" at our stats page.
Some blocks are found in short time and some rounds are very long. This is normal.
Even 6+ hours for a block is pretty possible, just as less than a minute too.

Gysur, if you're worried about luck I'll insure you against bad luck mining at Deepbit. When Deepbit is unlucky, I'll pay you extra. Some miners like this - it's a bit like PPS but you're still mining prop. You can find details in my sig. Also, if you do not wish to use GLBSE I can arrange variance protection for you privately.

Yes, we did "much more better" for a couple of weeks, and much worse in a couple of weeks before that. Sometimes luck is good and sometimes it's not. Usually neutral over long enough period.I don't see where you asked about DC. "DC" is datacenter. The place where some of our servers are located had a problem with power - some servers and routers lost it for a couple of seconds and were rebooted, that's the cause of connection problems experienced while all those things were booting and loading. This doesn't affects luck in any way.
I would notice if something is wrong - like failed mining node, load balancer or something like that, we are monitoring our setup continuously 24/7.
Current round lasts less than 600% of D at this moment (normal average is 100%), and sometimes we had more than 800%, so it was frightening only the first time :)

no updates on the website??
EDIT: the pool needs over 3 hours to find a block? what's wrong with the bitcoind?
What updates are you talking about ?EDIT: the pool needs over 3 hours to find a block? what's wrong with the bitcoind?
As I just said in my previous message, everything is fine. I don't see any reasons for panic.

luck to solve a block is very low at the moment! on average pool needs nearly one hour to solve a block. this was much more better until you mentioned the problems with the "DC" (whatever it is).
No, everything is fine with our luck. Lust 20% worse in last 24h and it was more than 30% better a few days before.Still very good for current difficulty timespan.
Usually it doesn't depends on pool's technical health.

FYI: You are still having problems.
Current pool hashrate is over 3700 GH/s, so I suppose it's doing fine.I need more details if you experience any problems: what exactly is wrong for you ? When did it started ?

What's wrong with the pool?
August 22, 2012, 10:21:20 PM
Share counters seem broken at the moment.
I am going to check my miners to see if my fault tho.
-------------
looks like deepbit did something to cause a couple of gpus to not want to mine anymore. temp unavailable and they goofed up.
ok now after a quick reset.

Deepbit down?
No. Total hashrate is ~3500 GH/s currently.I'll check if something is wrong.
August 22, 2012, 07:46:45 PM
Currently my shares are getting accepted. Looks like this is only a webserver / frontend issue.
