PPS is almost live

All code changes for implementing PPS are done and live.

I have set all of my workers to PPS for the next couple of days since I can't loose any coins to myself and I want to triple check the calculations for PPS payments. Smiley

Once final verification is complete, I will enable the option on your worker settings page.

PPS is per worker, so you can have some workers PPLNS and some PPS or whatever mix you prefer. PPS shares are paid when new shifts are created and the rewards show up for payment immediately after this.

API Users

The URL structure for the API will be changing over the coming weeks. This WILL break your applications and will mean that some code changes will be necessary.

More info to come and a final announcement will be made before the new site is live.

Thanks!  It is now up and running.  It is very quiet and not much heat.  The packaging was terrible and one of the fans fell off in shipping.  But the machine is pretty.  I wish the math made sense to buy another one but at 1BTC per day at this difficulty it makes no sense to spend 31BTC on another one of these machines.  By the time I got it at the end of Nov. I think it would be lucky to make .5 BTC a day.

Very true.  Just glad I got mine and it has a chance of reaching ROI, even if that chance is remote.

That's pretty much it - that PSU should work fine.  If it comes with version 0.95 firmware you shouldn't need more than a 750 watt supply.  Pop the top and check the heatsink fans.  Connect to router.  Don't forget to connect the 5 pin connector along with the 4 PCIe 6 pin connectors when hooking up power.  

When it boots up you will see the brightest LED you have ever experienced light up on the controller board - that's a good thing Smiley  It takes a couple of minutes to boot up fully.

You need to find the IP the router assigned it, and open that IP in a browser. Go to the services tab and enable SSH - it's disabled by default.  Once you SSH in you will find the cgminer config file in /config and it is called (surprise) cgminer.conf

To connect to the running instance of cgminer, enter   screen -dr
To disconnect from the screen session before logging out, hit CTL-A followed by lower case d
If you need to restart the cgminer instance (because you killed the cgminer screen session somehow) the command is
screen cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

That's about everything you need to know about it in a nutshell....

You may be right.

Unfortunately in my case, this is one time that being right doesn't put a smile on my face.

I'll take a look, but 7x diff doesn't sound that uncommon.  Given how bad my pool's luck was at the start of the diff I'm expecting to find a 9-10x (harder to tell since I don't track individual block rounds).

There have definitely been greater than 7x diff rounds. I know deepbit has had 11x.

But has any pool had a round with more than 1,963,423,807 shares?

You may be right.  My rough math shows my worst round this diff in the 1.6-1.7b range.  Definitely not rough enough math to be off by an extra 250m shares.

How are you measuring it as "longest round in the known history of pools"?  Doesn't sound like the longest in terms of hours, shares, or diff multiplier.

Good to know you keep an eye on our little pool.  Tongue

I was referring to shares, but I assume you are going to prove me wrong.  Wink

Finally...
Let's hope the next ones getting found faster.

Indeed. Smiley

New longest round for sure at 7.33x diff along with longest round in the known history of pools.....  Cry

Thanks for saving us MartRog!

Maybe we should start a bounty for whomever solves the next block.  I am restarting my singles and my KNC jupiter will be here in a couple of hours so I can add 500+ more GH to the cause.

Make sure you have a Star SD-20 driver to remove the case lid.  Usually some of the heatsink fans manage to jar loose in transit - the fan shields are pressure fit, so they just snap into place - and you'll want to fix that before you power on....

Thanks.  Yep I have the Star SD-20 driver.  Will an Inwin 1200 Commander 2 work just fine as a power supply?

What do I need to do to get it up and running?  Just plug it into the internet router and then login to it and change the settings?

Thanks
