Wonder is it about increase in difficulty or what, but for couple weeks it takes 2 days more to get same amount of coins than month back. Like before I got 0,1 coins in 5 days, now it takes whole week to get that much. Can it be that drastic change in difficulty? Haven't been that long in bitcoin business to know. Amount I keep rig on for mining haven't changed.

Yes difficulty changed about 12 days ago.  It went up about 13%, so it takes longer to make the same amount.  It is about to go up another 10% roughly in a few hours, so you'll make even less in a few hours.

GPUs were making about 20x as much last January. The age of GPUs is ending, ASICs are here now.

Use this calc - add a 0 to the difficulty and watch your earnings drop to 1/10th as much - that should happen in the next 3 months.

Thanks, that sorted some things. Seems I stepped in to this bitwagon at the edge of ASIC rocket ride. Was also looking at the 50BTC hashrate/earnings chart, and it tells pretty much the same story. Earnings were peaking above hashrate when I started, no more. Our GPU guys only hope is seemingly pretty unstable exchange rate, that it would find the way to go up for some reason (which reason can be harder to predict than where North-Korea points nukes each morning and for what reason). Otherwise seems it's only within months that electricity is more expensive than what you get out of mining. Unless.. you become pro miner with heavy investments.
Well, going to stick in out of curiosity if nothing else.
Sure thing is we're living times something peaks out of bithorizon..

No problems with this, but it was 0.2-0.3% two weeks ago and now connection with any of pools is difficult, my miners goes offline(not only on dashboard), no stability as it was before.

Huge stales today minimum 3 maximum 10%, I am totally dissapointed from this pool  Angry

Their front page says they pay for stales too so not sure it's that important is it?

Mine has been fine, 4 rigs at 0.06, 0.05, 0.13, 0.04, connected to pool-de with stratum.

Could the balance being reported be lagging behind? Or is that the true current balance?

Looks like it was just lag, my balance is now about where it should be in the time since my last payment

It was our experiment with zero commission fee, just several users was affected.
Sorry for delay, eventually you will receive your bitcoins, it may take some time.

My suspicion is that some shares were lost or not counted.  The difficulty change has not yet occurred but I'm down over 0.11 BTC today - roughly the 3 hours missing on the miner graph.  Either the website balance is not correct or I lost 3 hours of work on 19GH/s.  And I'm on PPS, so it's pretty easy to calculate loss (as no pool switching has occurred in CGMiner).

Could the balance being reported be lagging behind? Or is that the true current balance?

Yeah, pretty constant problems for couple days with pool. IO errors and that typical "No JSON object could be decoded" thingy with GuiMiner. Before that no problems really for a month. Have deleted and reinstalled all related GuiMiner files but no avail. Happily worker has stopped only once, other than that it has worked thru those errors, just creating lots of more stale/invalid shares than normally. As these problems started to occur just couple days ago, it's hard to see what could be problem at this end. Especially, that system haven't being changed within that time.
It's windows 7 64bit system, with 7870XT as miner. Using latest official catalyst drivers.

americandesi,

Now the maintenance is over, everything is operating normally.
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll think about this.
Unfortunately sometimes the data center does not aware about maintenance beforehand.

BTC < > INR & USD

Might I suggest you put the information about how/when payments are made in the first post, this seems to come up a lot, I'd explained it about 3 posts above this one Smiley



Thank you for explanation, but now we do not include transactions in the block found by pool. As soon as we implement it, we will update the first page and web site.

My ASIC blades started disconnecting and restarting after which i noticed a message in the control panel saying there might be downtime due to datacenter maintenance.

Do let me know when the maintenance is over.

Also it would be a good idea to have topic / thread started to let us know of the start of the maintenance or downtime activity and reply to the same thread when the maintenance is over.

Something has to be up with the pool and not just website.

Some of my workers are ok and some are switching to backup pools.
