Someone else mentioned the Namecoin block explorer, but since there is AFAIK no Namecoin web wallet, you'll need to have a namecoind running at some point to spend/exchange/etc. your payouts.   With that up and running, this will work:

your getting higher HW errors on 3334...watch it n see...then goto knc port n i bet it'll be lower But it also doesn't effect all units i don't think...but alotta units...I'm happy on knc port can't wait for knc to fix flushwork thou...doubt it'll ever happen thou

Why do you need a CGminer patch? I also have an oct unit, and actually just received my RMA of controller board and ASIC board. Also oct stock evident by the firmware. In both cases, I simply chose firmware that uses BFGminer (so, if fw 0.98 or earlier, I ran BertMod 3.0 and selected BFGminer - in case of received RMA replacements, which came with stock 0.99-E, I loaded 0.99.2 and selected....again....BFGminer) and can mine on port 3334 and the designated KnC port. CGMiner 3.9.1 which is embedded in fw 0.99.2 also worked fine for the 20 or so min it was running while I was configuring other settings on the miner. My original controller board and ASIC was from the mid-October delivery that could only run 0.95 successfully until 0.98 came around. Still worked just fine. if you're running fw 0.99.1 or 0.99.2, you should be fine so long as your not frying your gear trying to pump the voltage. While I have noticed differences between hashrate to the pool (not this one, but one I've used in the past) between CGMiner and BFGminer using BFL hardware, I've not had the same experience with the KnC. It seems about equal. I use BFGminer simply because I prefer it. What problems are you actually having?

Well, shit. I thought I had been paying you Well, I guess I really am now.

The options have been there for some time, but the code to actually take the donation % was incomplete, until now.

Edit: Just to clarify the reasoning, all of the CPPSRB code is self-auditing with many fail-safes.  It checks and rechecks balances and estimates and such and makes sure that the data matches up using multiple methods to do so.  If something happens that doesn't quite match, or is otherwise abnormal, it shuts down and waits for me to check on it.  Basically, to be secure, the donation acceptance part had to also be coded into all of the auditing portions also, otherwise the "missing" funds from the pool keeping the donations would trigger all kinds of internal alarms and fail-safes.  Plus additional security (such as re-verifying the signed messages more than once to verify that the donation %'s the system is using match what the user actually signed... if there is any question/discrepancy, it just keeps the donation amount at 0%.  Hope this helps explain why this has taken me so long to get it done!

Er? Didn't they already function? I've had it set up for a little while now... or was it not working?

Greetings Miners!

The donation options in the My Eligius control panel now officially function (beta).  I have the new patch tested and running on the server now for monitoring.

Currently the donations are just held by the pool, but I will be doing up stats and publicizing where exactly the donations are paid out, as soon as I confirm that the code is stable (it has been in the works for a while now).

So, please consider donating even a small amount to the pool!

Thanks,

Yeah I noticed that and that block was mined on: 2013-12-31 09:01:22. Almost all of the "quickest" blocks from that one to the one just now were mined in the last 4 months or so... since the rise of the asics... it could also just be pure luck...

It is quite simply just luck, which varies greatly in either direction.  The fastest block ever for Eligius was block 277,885 ... which was mined 3 seconds after 277,884.

Wow, I just noticed that the last block (0000000000000000a7d0521b7fe409c823c9cf00a964a99c59e57fa3b4d8dfc2) was one of the luckiest in pool history at 30sec... there have been a couple of those in the last few weeks. Could the increase in the asics now in circulation have anything to do with this or is it overall pool hashrate or the increased number of miners? Or is it just my noob (not very in-depth) view of the stats?

1. I considered this, but since CPPSRB is not actually straight PPS, prominently displaying a maximum potential PPS value would likely be confusing.  Even displaying it where it is has already caused confusion and I've considered just removing it entirely.

2. The large button seems to break the style.  The layout needs an overhaul...

3. See #2

4. There is, My Eligius

5. Maybe.  The stats are being redone and integrated into a new single site soon anyway. (spoiler)

6. Historical luck doesn't actually have any affect on future earnings or make any real sense to display in more detail than it already is (luck % for each block, variance graph), so its a next-to-useless stat IMO.  I did put the estimated earnings/variance graph on the main page already, though, to show that things even out as they should.

7. This was the case before, and people, again, just got confused thinking that the pool in some way owed them or was otherwise cheating them out of the value of the shelved shares.  Since the switch to a percentage, which is actually a much more useful stat, there has been much less confusion.

Edit: Clarified #6

Also, if I may ask, I have a few tiny suggestions that should be really easy to add, but would improve the stats, I believe.

1. On the home page of the stats, you put at the bottom the PPS value-per-share. But I think it is a really important value that would deserve to be put in the header alongside the pool hashrate/round luck/time... Or at least, put on userstats pages with the estimate of daily earnings.

2. Putting a link to the payout queue in the top menu, with "Home", "My eligius", etc...

3. Moving the GitHub link to the footer, or put it on the home page. (I don't believe that the GitHub is something the users will frequently go to, so it doesn't need such a proeminent place)

4. Putting a link to the configurable options in the userstats page.

5. In fact, change the "structure" of My Eligius so that clicking on "My Eligius" prompts for a user's address; inputting the address brings you directly to the userstats page, from which there would be a link to the configurable options, or to "logout"/change address. I believe it would be "cleaner", faster to navigate the site than with the intermediate "menu" page that you get once you "logged" in.

6. In the pool-wide stats page (Home), put a graph of the "historical" luck, so we know if recently, we have been increasing of decreasing the amount of shelved shares.

7. In userstats page, you put the percentage of shares rewarded, but it would be great if you could also put the "value" of the shelved share, so one knows that if he were to leave the pool NOW, he should expect to be, eventuelly, payed out that amount of BTC when the pool gets lucky. It can be calculated from the other displayed stats, but I think it is an important value.

But don't get me wrong, I love the pool! Theses are just suggestions, you do what you want.

luke-jr won't support merged mining of any alt-coin, because they believe they are mostly scams/people trying to make easy money of the success of bitcoin without brigning any "new" ideas/innovation. Thus they don't want to support those systems.

They -do- support namecoins, exactly because it is a system that does bring something new/different, being not only a unit of money, but a name reservation system.

From the old thread:


Thank you! And thanks for running such a great pool. And thanks for luke0jr (I guess?) for coming up with such a great payment system!


That means that the last payment that user got was 2 weeks, 5 days, ... ago. But the user might still have been in the queue for a few minutes, if he just got over his payment the treshold.

Even though the shares themselves are rewarded most-recent-first, once a user has accumulated enough reward that he gets in the payout queue, the payment system prioritizes people who have not been payed the longest, whatever their payment amount is.

Is it too complicated to add some more shitforks for merged mining?

Yay the donation % works...now i can donate to the pool Thanks for all your hard work on this pool WK...And its getting greater every day!!!

In on the first page to say that Eligius is the most stable BTC pool I've used in the year I've been mining.  I started off on Slush's, then BTCGuild, then Eclipse, P2Pool, and even some time on GHash.io. 

I keep on coming back to Eligius as my primary pool.

Keep up the hard work guys.

the patch cgminer wk developed for kncminer oct is out ?

Are any stats available on your shelved shares, and where they are in the shelved share queue? Raw data would probably be too much, but something like a list filled with x number of shelved shares worth y BTC from block z, and the shelved share queue depth to that point?

I'm happy to see the new thread.
