Yeah mining has stopped I'm on my backup pool.

All my rigs got "connection interrupted" and switched to backup pool. Anybody else experiencing the same issue?
(I assume so since the pool total hashrate is dropping quickly...)

Cheers,

Something funny is happening at Eligius. My 3 hour hashrate dropped by +20%, and the graph is showing vert funky behaviour for ALL my miners... I was terribly worried about something electrical going on in my farm (you know, hashrate fluctuating wildly in all the miners, at the same time) but I checked the graph of other users and it seems that its the pool who is having the problem... Obviously cgminer show the miners hashing just fine.

Same here.  Something is definitely wrong.

I've been mining at Eligius for the last 3/4 days and I love the interface and the 0% fees, but isn't the variance extremely high?

I believe variance is high for slower minder due to the fact that min pdiff was increased from 1 to 2. At least that is how I explain my observation since it was bumped.

   T

I have a few TH/s and it looks to me variance is high

BTW, how do you cange min diff. to +256? It seems is not working on "my eligius" as I see cgminer mining at 127...

I see a bit of high variance on my end as well.

When you make your setting in "my eiligius" to 256  and save it- what happens? Does it remain 256 in the box? It should.

Yes, it stays... But at the same time it says "*** Minimum Difficulty Setting does NOT yet have any effect! ***"... Why is that?

I remember seeing that before once when I had changed my dif.. I'm not sure if it has to wait until next round and then the settings kick in? - I'm sure someone can chime in

I'm pretty sure that functionality is just not implemented yet in the UI.  Eligius also ignores the '--request-diff' parameter from BFGMiner.

Something broken on stats?

Just to verify, stats page is down correct?

Incorrect. Stats page appears to be working fine.

Continuing with pool improvements...

Soon, Eligius will no longer be serving any pool-difficulty 1 work, opting to a bump to pool-difficulty 2.

With the exponential rise in the average hash rate overall, difficulty 1 work is less and less useful.

I will be looking to make this change in the next few days.  This should have little to no real impact on miners, but will reduce pool-side load a bit.  It will also make it easier for higher hash rate miners to start mining.

Thanks!

As of now, this should average roughly a 1% bonus to payouts using a fee average for the last 1000 network blocks.

Thanks for using Eligius!  Smiley

In general, though, I believe I will be doing a variant of your list option #2.  Up to X BTC in fees to miners, remainder held by the pool.  This will let Eligius keep with its informal policy of returning accidental transaction fees to their owner (with signmessage proof for all inputs), minus X BTC.  After a certain amount of time has passed with no claim then the balance could be released to miners.  It is very obvious that any transaction with a large transaction fee is likely a mistake at this point.

Quote
I do believe that long term Eligius will need a % of the transaction fees (NOT BLOCK REWARD) for expenses to survive.

Yes.  Set this up initially, when transaction fees are small, e.g.
  • Eligius claims 10% of transaction fees, for pool expenses -- maybe even higher initially, like 50%, but plan to decrease percentage over time
  • Plus a safety valve, if fees exceed 25 BTC in a single block (or pick your number)

Quote
1. Add transaction fees to the 25 BTC rewarded to miners at the top of the share log when a block is found, thus paying more shelved shares using transaction fees.

Yes, this is a nice option.



Fees to miners experiment number one has been implemented.

Currently 100% of fees are rewarded at the time the block is mined.  Unfortunately the fees portion can not be included in balance estimates accurately on the stats side, but are reflected when the block is rewarded.

This is implemented as of and including pool block height 261279.

While from this point on I will ensure that fees will be rewarded to miners in one form or another, this particular method is experimental and subject to change and tweaks as needed.  Eventually I do believe a % of transaction fees will need to be kept for pool operating expenses, but for now that is not needed and 100% goes to miners.

I will run this experiment for some time (few weeks probably) and evaluate its performance and reception with miners at that time and proceed one of two ways: Leave this method in place permanently, or continue on to the next fee distribution experiment.  All would be dependent on how well miners like the setup and how well it works in practice.

As of now, this should average roughly a 1% bonus to payouts using a fee average for the last 1000 network blocks.
