I had this "no new work pushed problem" above with phoenix miner r101 under ubuntu.
AnnihilaT changed something on server side and I restarted phonix miner. It now works well.

Thanks Anni. Smiley

Klaaster,

I think i read that had something to do with phoenix.... maybe i can run a test in a bit if you are around to test with me.   The miners i have tested (not phoenix) do in fact get new work pushed when the network finds a block but it might be something phoenix specific.   PM me if you are around to test a bit with me.

After watching the phoenix log for some time, I wonder why no new work gets pushed after a block was found by the network.
GPU_0 and GPU_1 are mining on 2 different pools for this test and both get the "new work pushed".

Is there any way to discourage/punish people who leave while we have long rounds? I mean, all of us know that by switching pool, we could be getting more for our time, but it makes the round so much longer.

AnnihilaT,

I don't know how much work this is, but is it possible to get more detailed statistics regarding Hashrate?
For instance MH average per day, week?

Yeah probably but i need to sort some other things first which have a little higher priority.  I put your request on my to-do list tho Smiley

Posting to note that I've brought 1gh/s on board, my username is the same on MF: Xurious. I'm barely hitting the 1gh/s at the moment, this damnable 95f weather is killing my rigs.
Hmmm....strange i havent seen you over 750 or so yet... can you post a screenshot or something showing me this?

I would say I'm sorry, but I can't apologize for the transformer outside my house blowing TWICE in the last 24 hours. They finally put a new fancy one up! (It's made me a very unhappy person. Power went down about 10 minutes after I joined MF with full power.)

Hashrate is back over 1gh/s with room to spare!

Indeed.... very easily breaking 1GH now Smiley  Your account has been toggled to early adopter

I woke up to the sound of the fan on one of my 5970s grinding to a halt this morning.  It was not a pleasant way to wake up.  I hurriedly stumbled over to the computer, half asleep and half alarmed, to shut it down.  

Awww too bad! Lucky you heard it and didnt burn the house down! D


IN OTHER NEWS...
FYI:  Conditions for special promotion for early adopter accounts has been updated and modified.

We're over 80 GH/s...nice.

I bet it will take 2 weeks before I get it back from RMA'ing it.  Dang!

I guess the word "extra" made me think there was a base donation.  Maybe the second line should display the total % being donated instead of just the the additional donation %.  It might already be like that, it's hard to tell because I am an early adopter.     I would also remove the term fees from the second line.  I understand that technically it's all fees in the pool code but semantically it's not the same thing.

Maybe I am also just making this overly complicated, english is not my primary language.   IMHO the second line should just state "You are donating X%" or "You are donating X% of your mined bitcoins"

All excellent points!  You are right about that donating of your fees string.  Doesnt make much sense now that i think of it.  Have a look at it now... should be clearer i hope.  

The other comments i will wait to reply on because what i say now will be invalid by the weekend.  We are re-doing how this is done now and i think everyone will like the new way better.

It's indeed much clearer now.  Thank you  Grin

Where can i check ny number of share submitted and total shares per block?

total submitted is to your left.  Add past and current round and you have your total.

block stats are coming.... we are young... please bear with us.  Stats are the icing on the cake and better icing is being worked on.

Added DTD (donations to date) stat at the top as suggested (good idea, btw!) Smiley  Click on it for more info!

I was under the impression that the early adopters were not paying the pool 0.5% administration fees but that we were still giving 1% to charity.

No thats not the case.  0% fees is 0% fees.   There really is and was no catch to that.  We arent making anything right now (in fact we are at a loss if you dont count the bounty) Smiley

the idea was that the early adopters would help bootstrap the pool and that the latecomers would be the ones that the opensource devs and writers could benefit from.   We are currently trying to come up with a better approach that will make everyone much happier.   We will of course keep you up to date. 

I never thought there was any catch.   There was a clear distinction in my mind between the pool fees and the donations.   

It's hard to tell when looking at:

Early-Adopter: 0% Pool Fees
You are donating 0% extra fees


I guess the word "extra" made me think there was a base donation.  Maybe the second line should display the total % being donated instead of just the the additional donation %.  It might already be like that, it's hard to tell because I am an early adopter.     I would also remove the term fees from the second line.  I understand that technically it's all fees in the pool code but semantically it's not the same thing.

1) Bring 1 GH/s or more to the pool and post here in this thread that you have signed up and are mining at ~1GH/s and i will toggle your account to 0 fees

Simply because we are a new pool and dont have the reserves to front the 50 BTC ourselves yet.  Until 120 confirms there can always be a risk that the block we found can be orphaned and we receive no money for it.  At the moment, making no profit, we havent yet decided to take that risk.   We arent the only ones who work this way, btw.  Most other pools are similar. 

Indeed, most are not. I've just been used to working with BTCguild (Currently the backup). I hope MF is DDoS resilient, as that is one of the big reasons I had to find a new pool. Lost far too many shares in that debacle.

Connected to this pool this morning before I read all the info about it. Wanted to see the stability over 12 hours first, so I used 1/2 a 5870. I'll switch fully over now, it may not be completely free but I like the concept!

Have I missed something casually perusing these forums? Why must it be 120 blocks? That's a relatively long time.

Welcome! Smiley

I had to cover this one mostly out of my own pocket since we are on 0% fees for most of our active miners but full disclosure, we should have a bounty incoming for this to help reimburse me and cover some of the upcoming blocks till donations and new miners can help cover it.   I will shortly have a page up and available documenting where your donations end up and who they are sent to.

I was under the impression that the early adopters were not paying the pool 0.5% administration fees but that we were still giving 1% to charity.   Are you saying it's not the case? If so, I will gladly add 1% to the additional donations.
