Update: I tried to move the rigs off of BTCmine.com today, but for some reason they did not want to form a stable connection with BTCguild or Eligius. I'll be working on it more tomorrow, but for now we'll have to deal with the 2% fee. The important thing is that we're mining.

True.

You could try the "multiple mining clients per card" tactics, so unstable connections might not affect you that much.

Also btcguild + Eligius had both some smaller troubles yesterday, maybe try them again after the weekend or so.

2% fee is kinda not that much in the short run, I just wanted you to be aware, that in the longer run it might hurt a bit (and even more with increasing difficulty! Every Bitcent you mine less right now can be a week worth of work in half a year!).

I took your advice and ran two miners on each card, one pointed at BTCguild and one at Eligius. I thought that was problem, as both kept disconnecting/idleing out, but then I tried getting them to work with just one miner on each card and had the same problems. Hopefully they both stabilize soon.

The www.bitcoins.lc pool has 0 fees.

I'd rather have the whole SIN data than just current pool data, as he might have to switch again after some time elsewhere.

Update: Today is a good day, we've successfully gotten all seven rigs up and running! Tomorrow we will be migrating from btcmine.com to other pools (mining simultaneously on more than one pool with each card.) I will also be continuing work on a cooling system to allow for better overclocking.

Once again, thanks to everyone for your support and advice! We rode out the bumps and have entered production mode! Next on the agenda: dividends!

Nice work there Tawsix!

Let the card burn in a stock speeds for at least 72 hours before attempting an overclock. That 72 hours gives a good indication that the card is going to function just fine - so do this before the warranty is violated by over clocking.

SIN has now solved 2 blocks on its own!
http://btcmine.com/api/getstats/020d055f94131c4b29baeca9915c7e04917bb18e/

That would have been 100 BTC without a pool! I'm not advocating mining without a pool (at least, not until we have a lot more rigs), but it is kinda cool.

I find it even cooler that our total payout is more than 1/3 of that.

The ~0.2% less income (from transaction fees) currently are not really worth the immense variance you'd get even with a 20 GH/s setup imho.

Oh, and btw: Get out of BTCMine, and get out quick! They charge now a 2% fee!

I still would suggest starting 2 miners per GPU - 1 at Eligius and the other one at BTCguild. This would equally distribute the hashrate and allow for automatic failover. If you need help for this, just tell us/me.

All shares orders were cancelled during the last GLBSE update. I guess tawsix will put the SIN ones back up for sale soon.

bing: I think it's dividend_per_share = total_dividend_payout / ownedshares

You can use the web client to make dividend payments.

The total amount paid is divided over the sold shares.

That means that shares in the issuers account get nothing(this is by system design).

Nice! I'm one of those who likes to find errors in systems and you already thought of everything, perfect Wink

Oh, btw, good work with the web-thingy!

With ownedshares you mean "Owned by investors"? And not total shares?

The "unsold" shares is owned by tawsix, but there's no capital backing it.
So I think it comes down to definition.

Since the whole startup is financed by external investors, "unsold" shares shouldn't get divends since they haven't really contributed yet.

All orders on GLBSE (bid and ask) were cancelled by developer of GLBSE, as a necessity for adding functionality to prevent "spam" orders.

SIN asset owner will to to "re-sell" the shares they own, to get trading started again.

BTW, is the SIN-shares taken of the market?
Haven't seen any large sale on the ticker?

Besides my opinion about paying out divends for expanding business, I have another questionmark...

How does the payouts work, if not all initial shares are paid?

Is it:

1.
BTCs * owned_shares / total_shares
or
2.
BTCs * owned_shares / (total_shares - left_of_initial_shares)

The second would be preferable though the divends should be based on the current investment made.

for example:
2000 shares is sold that gets us 10 rigs (example).
If the divends is calculated on 10000 shares that makes the divends based on 2 rigs instead of the 10 that the current investors have payed for. Only when all initial shares are sold, the divends can be based on 10000 shares.

I have trouble explaining this in a good way, Am I thinking all wrong here?
