[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

Everything has been working fine on my end, you may want to check your network connections/router/etc...

[kkurtmann]

i finally found my first block!!! and on my slowest machine to boot, go 70 Mh/s 

[qrs]

Enable 'long polling' extension for this worker. Turning OFF usually requires a miner restart.

what's this? turn on or off?

Leave it "on".

Hi

im unable to login to my account and i can not reset my password ..... Typed in my mail address three times now but i dont receive a mail?


Could someone look into that?

My email has stopped working as well (some time ago I think). I use a .info email address (not .com) and I suspect that may be the problem.

How much does it take for the reward to be refreshed?I have the same amount of btc for 12 hours now? 

[Shadow383]

Nearly 15 million shares on this block 

[Testit]

Nearly 15 million shares on this block 

what is the record share on 1 block?
current block 19 174 984 share

[Shadow383]

what is the record share on 1 block?
current block 19 174 984 share

This is the longest round I've ever seen, and we're at a CDF 99.96% on the stats.

[slush]

The longest round had 12.2x difficulty, so it is equivalent of current 30mil shares. Yesterday's round was long, but there still was some reserve :-).

Hi guys,

I'm finishing project on which I recently spent some time  . I'm just writing official announcement and internal technical documentation. But in the meantime I would like to ask you for testing this:

https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy (there's also prepared Windows binary)

It is proxy between "old" getwork protocol and new pool interface based on Stratum protocol (which I originally designed for a lightweight Electrum wallet). As I said, I'll post it's benefits officially later, but I'd like to do some small-scale testing for now (and hopefully find the first block outside testnet?). So if you have some spare time, please run mining proxy locally (using default parameters is fine) and point some of your miners to it (by default it listen on localhost:8332).

It is still experimental version, so don't be surprised if something will go wrong :-). Anyway, submitted shares should be accounted under your profile as normally...

P.S. As my "thank you" for your help you should see very, very low stale ratio.

P.P.S. Of course please report issues if any. Problems with installation, runtime errors, authorization errors, rejected shares, whatever...

I would be more then happy to point one of my miners at it, but I am afraid I don't really know how, still a new miner.  I did download it though but have no idea what to do from there.

[CaptChadd]

Downloading now and will give it a go.

Just run the proxy locally (black terminal window with a lot of texts should appear). And then point your miner to "localhost:8332" instead to "api.bitcoin.cz:8332". Rest is the same. Your miner talk to proxy by old protocol and proxy talk over the Internet to the pool by new protocol.

[stergium]

i started using the windows executable as a proxy (which by the way , i had to close the client -was configured on 8332).
It works, for starters! do you need us to report something on it?

[slush]

stergium, if you run bitcoin daemon locally, you can run the proxy with "mining_proxy.exe -gp 8331" ("getwork port", or some other port).

Just keep mining on it and report only if it will behave strangely (rejected shares, disconnected miners etc). At this stage short server restarts (up to one minute) are expected. And thank you anyway .

[ninjaboon]

Testing your new stratum proxy now. Looks all ok with default settings:

already running my miner on the new stratum mining proxy, good luck with the project!

hey Slush, I was wondering if you were still working on the DGM system?

Im sure its a huge project, but I was just curious if it was something that was still on the table.  We haven't heard anything about if for a bit so I figured I would ask...

Hi digital, that damned DGM :-). Actually this project fits my plan to DGM very well; I implemented DGM on old pool core, but it was buggy and I was affraid of putting that on production. DGM, in contrary to current rewarding mechanism, needs central point of truth - DGM calculation does not depends on time like score method, but on total count of submitted shares, which is quite hard to obtain *exactly* in such distributed environment.

For that reason I'm finalizing whole new concept of the pool, which solves many major issues of original, two years old design (these days I was quite happy when pool crosses 10 GHash/s) and new framework give me not only the chance to scale the pool infinitely, but also the possibility to implement any thinkable concept of calculating block rewards.

So very soon after I get this new core stable (it looks quite nice so far, but I still need more hashpower to test it properly and find a new block) I'll change the pool rewarding system. I'm planning both DGM + PPS.

Digital, I know that DGM support is never-ending story, but now I'm really close :-). You can help me out with the testing of the new core anyway ;-).
