Anyone else seeing a lot of upstream RPC errors for workers and problems connecting to the API?

My rig I see 3337 accepted 98 stales, or about 2.9%. Thats not so bad now. Reset your counters on your miner. The luke-jr pushpoold test was a disaster.
August 11, 2011, 10:11:25 PM
so, now I stop
here I see:
UnitedMiners
shares 4261 stales 1806 (42.36%)!!!
and on your HP I see
2430 shares....

We just switched to luke-jr's version of pushpool this afternoon, hopefully that clears some up. Bitcoind is always an issue also and when it has problems and needs to be reset you see some stales/rejects.
UPDATE - wont be using luke-jr's pushpoold from git. The stale/reject rates where crazy! Switched back to the one I know works well. My test rig still has 0% stales so that's a lot better. The new LB makes life a lot easier to.

Settings configurable per rig like SMTP server, RPC L&P, fan speed %, over heat temp, OC core Mhz, OC memory Mhz
What are you using for OC's and fan speed? Is it not possible to set per GPU? And does anyone know how Diablo compares to phoenix?
Right now the userland programs are setup to be able to OC all GPU's with 1 speed or each GPU at a separate speed but the WWW GUI is setup for 1 speed for all. Since there isn't much interest in the managed rigs I don't know if I want to spend the time adding that feature.
The userland programs on the linux image are also setup for either Diablo to manage all the GPU's or 1 phoenix miner for each. However the WWW GUI just uses Diablo. I'm still the only user with managed rigs so it's probably going to stay that way right now. Being a pool op of a 0% fee pool and competing with BTCGuild and deepbit is a thankless job.
Well I hope it improves, it's a great idea. I prefer to stick with PPLNS pools and I've been using Linuxcoin and BAMT but the iPhone and web management would make things much easier. I'll be happy to throw a couple Ghash your way at 3.5% to test it out as soon as I sort out a small lightning issue - didn't think to run cat5 through surge protector.

My balance said .08xxxxx and then I did the instant payout and all of a sudden my wallet has .078 more. Hmmmm.

After talking to other pool Op's I've decided to move to PPLNs after this round. It will go into effect when the round ends and I've already updated the FAQ. The payout code hasn't been change but the payment estimate code has been when we moved over to 0% fee with donation levels.
If you want to discuss sticking with straight prop lets talk about it, I'm open. The reliable 24x7 miners appreciate PPLNS because it can't be gamed so easy like proportional can be.

1) I am reading your FAQ page right now and:
"How are payouts calculated? [TOP]
We use the regular proportional method. We are testing and considering a Pay Per Last N Shares method to calculate payouts when a round ends if the account is flagged as a hopper. We are also considering hopper flag protection at a certain donation rate. Feedback is greatly appreciated! "
So, what are you using right now? Regular proportional or PPLN?
2) Oh, and BTW, there is no need to hop away at >=43% if you have no pools at lower % you currently are to switch to (can a grammar nazi fix taht for me)
. Organofcorti made some cool simulations and calculations to prove it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.439864

I also like your pool from the looks, would be a shame if you did not get rewarded for it.
August 08, 2011, 11:59:41 PM
Donate. I always do. 1% no prob. More if reliable like fast api.
August 08, 2011, 11:57:36 PM
I'd be up for that. Happy to pay a donation to the site as mentioned above. Everyone's a winner.
August 08, 2011, 11:56:12 PM
I like this idea. Has this worked out for any other pools? Do hoppers think it's a good idea?
Yes we do. I donate 1% where ever I mine if they have it set up. Many of us have thought about offering donations to ease the anger some.
Some pools also do something different
They offer both prop and PPS.. (dont know if you can handle PPS yet)
anyways when they do that, we can use their PPS as a back up pool.. which we jump on when no one else is lucky.. which is pretty often sometimes.
The hopper is coded so you can set it up to jump on the backup pool with the most shares, when you are on backup.
This could also help you in a way, as hoppers get the bad rep for only being around on short rounds and being very missed on the very long rounds.
Sometimes we even help pools that dont have PPS set up.. a bunch of us jumped on ozco.in when they had a 9 million share block and helped
get over the top at 10 million and found the block. It could have been a few more days without all the extra hashes.
just a thought anyways. We like people who dont hate us.

I'm not sure, I'll ask though. The closest implementation is by bitcoinpool.com. If you donate any amount they will not flag you as a hopper. If you get flagged as a hopper you will lose 50% of your earnings and they will be redistributed amongst the pool.

Straight prop.
I'd be willing to donate premium percentage, so say like 2.5% to 5% to have hopping access along with a reliable API. Tie the pool stats into a the user API, which can only be enabled after you donate a predetermined percentage. You can then redistribute this fund to your full time miners as "additional hopper income". I think the ~50GH/s will definitely help a pool out and also attract more miners. Even if most hoppers leave after 43% of shares being submitted, there is still an incentive for finishing a block, because without the block being finished no one will get payed hopper or not.
