CK, is your server's datacenter having issues tonight? I've had alot of my rentals failover to their backup pool (kano's) several times over the last couple of hours. Just curious if you saw anything or not?
Seems ok but I'll give the pool a kick in the arse to bring it in line with current code just in case.

Question. I know on the P2P forms they recommend that we set the cgminer options to = queue= 0 or 1 what or recommended for the solo pool for best performance.
Thanks
Thanks

I was wondering if anyone would do a group hash rental on westhash. Divided we have a lesser chance, but together there is a greater chance.

Has anyone hit renting with nice or west hash? I have spent quit a bit of coin attempting it. not 40 or 50 maybe 10 btc
Curious to know how many of the 41 blocks have been hit by nice-west hash rentals.
For instance 727miner used MRR
I threw 3 BTC over the past 2 weeks on and off from westhash about 0.0097avg, no wins.Curious to know how many of the 41 blocks have been hit by nice-west hash rentals.

Does anyone have a calculation how many TH should one rent for a day to have an equal chance (50%/50%) hitting or not hitting a block?
Code:
47610564513 * 2^32 / 172800 = hash rate = 1.1833669995801 PH/s
So you'd need to rent just about 1.2PH to have a 50% expected chance of hitting a block in a day.

So ... you can work it out pretty easily.
http://tradebtc.net/bitcalc.php
It says ... 1184THs should average just over 0.5 blocks a day at a pool
(you put in any number X for the pool hash rate then look at the number of blocks it says the pool will find Y then: X * 0.5 / Y)

I think that's the problem from the nice/westhash side... it would appear that they are somehow keeping an authorized open connection with the pool, and vardiff is continuously lowering until it hits 4... then when the hash rate climbs, nice/westhash determines that the difficulty of 4 is too low for the hash rate and disconnects.
I know for a fact that ckpool properly addresses difficulty. I've got 5 U2 sticks solo mining here and they get a difficulty of 7, so 651GH/s would definitely not see a diff of 4.
It's an issue on the nice/westhash side.
Indeed this is not a problem with ckpool applying some kind of restriction on mining. I do have quite a few miners mining with 2GH or less, despite what you see here and the feedback of shares is helpful to them. If nice/westhash want to have an arbitrary lower limit on diff they support they should use the "suggest diff" method that is in the original stratum specification so that the pool knows what the mining client wants.

that keeps me thinking is it possible to attack ck pool with low diff shares, not so useful(and expensive with 2pths) at these days , but still..
Why do you think it would let you continue mining at the low diff? As soon as the hashrate climbed it would just keep bumping your diff up and ckpool has the fastest adapting diff algorithm in use of any pool software. ckpool also happens to be absurdly scalable (which was the whole point of the design when I started writing it) so it could likely handle 100k clients. There are much more effective ways to "attack" a pool, like any server, though there's really nothing to gain by attacking this one, just downtime. May 01, 2015, 05:46:00 PM

no luck renting on nicehash but then again also no luck renting on mrr since my block in september last year.

Speed TH/s 0.6519 Current diff 4.0000
This pools is setting 651.9Ghs to diff 4? I find that hard to believe.

By the same token it wouldn't bother me if my Block Erupters got set to diff 128 or even higher. But then someone would have a problem with that too, I'm sure.

nice/westhash:
some problems getting workers to connect because(got 10ths rented):
104.200.24.180:3333 Disconnected. Pool difficulty too low. Speed TH/s 0.6519 Current diff 4.0000
Pool's starting diff is 1000 and it can work at any diff whatsoever from 1 up to virtually infinity. This is not my problem, take it up at their end.some problems getting workers to connect because(got 10ths rented):
104.200.24.180:3333 Disconnected. Pool difficulty too low. Speed TH/s 0.6519 Current diff 4.0000
problem is when your rent order is not filled atall and waits price to drop.
meanwhile pool starts dropping diff to 4.
when price drops and you get, lets say 100ths hash instantly , its a problem when u have starting diff att 4 when big hashes hits.. so it disconnects.
Code:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3334 -u YOUR_BITCOIN_ADDRESS -p p=0.01;d=1024
Wouldn't that solve your problem?
no, when im the one who rents from nice/westhash to mine here
happens rarely, but its annoying --->Disconnected. Pool difficulty too low. Speed TH/s 0.6519 Current diff 4.0000
do we these days really need so low diff as under 128 values?
edit:

problems is related somehow because nice/westhash keeps connection to pool alive but submits no shares when price target not reached. i think nice/westhash dont care this problem atall..
so, do we these days really need so low diff as under 128 values? especially when targetting 47G.
current, OK: 104.200.24.180:3333 OK. Miners 0 Speed TH/s 0.0000 Current diff 1000.0000
sometimes: 104.200.24.180:3333 OK. Miners 0 Speed TH/s 0.0000 Current diff 4.0000
