Finally me... Smiley

dringdahl.mmrUS found the block...
Nice work! As for me, someone rented my S4 from MRR for 24 hours probably about two hours or less before the pool solved the 71% blocked (still should see a decent sized payout since I had been mining close to about 36 hours straight up until that point). I was surprised that someone actually rented my rig due to  the fact that I set it at a rather high price intentionally, because I wanted to mine in this pool for a while since due to its current size you do have to mine for quite a bit to really receive the maximum payout. However, my S3+ was still pointed there, so I should get a decent sized payout for the 71% block and I suppose another slightly smaller payout from techgeeks/dringdahl's block Cheesy. I love this pool!

PS: I wonder if anyone who's been following the stats can guess which worker I am given the details I have given. If you have figured it out, mums the word! (its my real name, DOH!)

Is there special instance running for asicminer BE Controller?
No, not yet - but that's a way off until I add support into CKDB to handle 2 (or more) CKPools talking to it on the one server.

thx for the info.

Is there a list with planned features somewhere?

Not really - I do have a todo list on my desktop but the order thangs happen tends to be affected by need
The CKDB code has quite a few "TODO:" comments in it.

... and we just found another block at 28% ... waiting on a confirm though ...

Edit: and confirmed - found by one of our 'medium' sized hashers again Smiley

Heh if you follow the link up to the block index it's still all screwy with double listing of transactions and the fees listed as -25BTC

dmward- FYI- if you are going to set a difficulty minimum for the S4, it should be 2048, not 2024. Now, whether or not you choose to set the minimum difficulty, I can't say which will have better results. As CK noted above referring to setting the minimum worker diff "if you don't know what you are doing, leave it alone". I'm sure this pools vardiff works just fine, considering it was developed by the same guys as cgminer, so I don't really see any reason to set a minimum worker difficulty unless you are just convinced that it will give you a better hashrate.

edit: also, now that you have set your S4's minimum difficulty back to 0, the figure in your "diff" column on your S4 cgminer will probably change from 1024, maybe to 2048, and possible other values (I see its currently 1544) when you first begin mining, but within a few minutes, it usually figures out what difficulty best suits your miner. Just something to be aware of. however, if you follow kano's formula as posted above using the figure from the "DiffA#" column , that will give you your hashrate

work utility is the WU value reported by cgminer

Very old version of cgminer Sad

We removed Utility a long time ago coz it isn't very useful and, usually not actually a meaningful value due to share difficulty.

Again (like above) if you look at the "Difficulty Accepted" and the Elapsed, you'll see what it is really mining.
Your accepted number there also suggests it's an old version of cgminer where it counts shares, not difficulty, so it makes it difficult to know what the real number is, since the work difficulty can change, thus each share is not the same value.

Bottom line, ignore Utility, check the pool after a while (half an hour?) and the pool stats page will be pretty accurate as long as your connection is reliable.

Left westhash to try thing hope it goes well

only see around 20% utility from my miner is that normal ?
I'd need to know what miner, what code version and what you mean by "utility" Smiley
(and how long it's been connected)

The Pool stats page is the ckpool based figure - so that's the most accurate.
The workers page is my summarisation of the worker instances - which is usually OK, but sometimes not.
That's part of the reason for the change I said in the post above yours.

However, the accepted shares "should" match cgminer no matter what number is on the right.
The only problem is that I've no idea what hacks/calculations Bitmain has put in their S4 code so that's why I said "should".
I also have no idea even what speed an S4 is able to mine.
So basically, look at the worker "Diff" (call it D0) and then restart cgminer.
From then on cgminer A: should be almost exactly current "Diff" - D0.
If it isn't, then that's a bug in the S4 driver reporting the wrong number for A:

dmward-
I imagine that the worker statistics page just hasnt had a chance to "catch up" in terms of your average hashrate, as I believe that the hashrate in the worker windows is calculated by the hour, which might explain why you see the hashrate you would expect in the top right (5 or 10 min calculation of GH/s). I could be wrong, but thats just my guess. I suppose kano should be able to give you the best answer but I figured I'd throw my two bits in.

edit: keep in mind that just because you have been hashing for 90 mins, doesn't mean that the pool is on your same schedule. What I mean is, say the pool calculates 1 hour hashrates every hour on the hour, and you happened to start mining minutes before the hour, that might explain your worker hashrate for your S4 being "low"

Also, how often will the "Workers" menu update to see each rigs stats (Hash rate, etc.)?
Currently, hash rate updates about once every 10 minutes (that will change to 1m in the future)
Everything else is instantaneous e.g. you'll notice that "Last Share" can say 0s.

Okay.

Thanks Kano!!!
Although you deleted the actual post I was gonna reply to, I'll reply to this one instead Tongue

The pool 5m hash rate shown will sometimes be pretty erratic when you start mining.
We're changing that (the 1m comment I mentioned above) and that should make it more stable.

However, you can check in cgminer for a more reliable hash rate as long as the driver isn't counting work incorrectly.
Con's releases of cgminer using the drivers he and I wrote are usually pretty accurate Smiley

However, if you aren't sure that you are getting the right hash rate based on accepted shares you can check that in cgminer with a simple calculation:
A: * 2^32 / Elapsed
A: is the diff1 accepted shares
Elapsed is how long it has been mining at the pool

If cgminer was started mining at the pool and only been mining there, then that will be correct for your payout hashing speed.
You can also get that from the API summary command.
A: is "Difficulty Accepted"
Elapsed is "Elapsed"

"A:" and "Difficulty Accepted" is what the pool has said - "yep those shares are OK"

Edit: of course a small Elapsed will not be very accurate no matter where you check it, cgminer or the pool.

Hi Kano I have been with your pool since the first week. I would like to Thank You. I was ready to give up mining. Your pool gave me new life.
I have sent a small Tip to your wallet. Please have  dinner and some Beers on me.

Best of luck

small Huh
That's not small! Smiley
Thanks indeed!!!
It popped up just after I sent the last payout.

... and anyone wondering - payouts done (and confirmed).

Also, the reason I like GHash #2 in my list is because they let me know if a block is found.  Which would mean CKPool is down.  I got a notification from GHash approximately 2 hours ago telling me a block was found.  I looked and saw we were down here for a few minutes.

Could not have been long cause you see my payout.

No, the pool wasn't down.

Hey Kano,
Haven't  run my client yet but have you paid the last two blocks yet?
Thanks, have a good weekend.
No, just woke up a short while ago - I'll pay them shortly.

No worries, have a great day.

Good morning ... and on the other side of the world ... I'm about to go to bed.
