[ANN] LEASERIG.NET - rent&hire Quark hashing power!

Can you please fix your login system to I can actually log into my admin page. It keeps saying the user doesn't exist or wrong password, but I'm clearly still listed in the rigs page, and I'm not using the wrong user or password.

Admin page has different url, check PM I sent you when giving you access.

Looks like SHA rigs are going fast. Everyone not renting their SHA rigs - you are missing big time!

There are some interesting updates. For providers:
- you can now set location of your rig (check admin panel)
- you can now set description of your rig (check admin panel)

For customers:
- view location, min/max renting hours on first page - just click on the rig
- view description provided by rig provider - just click on the rig
- you can hide both features by clicking the rig again

What changed with the calculation of rig stability? I noticed almost everybody has jumped 100% but mine has gone down to 88%, but my rig "Radha" hasn't been down in days but for two quick cgminer restarts.

I also just watched as my rig was reported as momentarily down, but it was up and hashing the whole time... what is the factor for "up time", is it ping or what..

Note that connection stability isn't yet what are plans for it to be, so everything is reset when I load updated version of website. I keep data of stability in memory so far only.

Great!  

I would like to point out: line speed is not all that matters. providers should better put line quality in description, measured on http://www.pingtest.net/

How do you actually determine "up time" though? By ping, or what? like I said I am looking at the site reporting my rig as down, but it is clearly up and connected and hashing away.

And once I finished writing this, it appeared as online again, but never was it actually offline..

There's a problem with the apostrophe ' character : when you hit update, everything after it is lost.

If your cgminer does not respond on command "summary" in 2 second time, it is reported as OFF. There is logarithmic calculation between number of successful and unsuccessful reports to determine final percentage visible on website.

It is not allowed for security reasons. ' and " will break the input.

The whole down-time thing is disturbing, as it will affect a renter from choosing my rig, but in actuality, there is no problem at all...

I have been watching it report it offline for a straight 5 minute stretch, even though I am also using a monitoring program that calls the summary command, and I am right now half-way around the world from my rigs location, and the summary command is still working fine reaching me here, maybe you could try to increase the time limit to 5 seconds, I mean if the rig is really offline then the rig still wont reply in 5 seconds..

Or you could decrease the frequency of checking to maybe once every minute or so.

Keep in mind that cgminer allows only single API call at a time and multiple of them would be put on "wait-list" and size of that one depends on OS. If you hog your cgminers API port with your own queries, site will get reports much less times or these would be greatly over allowed time thus reported as unsuccessful.

But I just noticed that uptime or "elapsed time" is included in the information of the summary report of the API, so if for some reason the api call doesn't work one time, then you could always check the next time it works to make sure that the elapsed time did not reset. And if it didn't reset then don't include that test as offline.

You could also include an uptime counter from the summary information, so a renter knows how long cgminer has been up and running.

And my monitor is set to get a summary every 60 seconds.

Keep in mind that none of the proposed methods by you can actually determine whether your cgminer has successfully hashed and reported shares. If you internet connection was down, then cgminer would still report as if everything was running smoothly, but infact due to connection being down, it was unable to get any work or submit any shares.

Would be nice of some more sha256 rigs are added. Currently only 3 and 2 of them rented. If you have sha rig, comeon, lets get you listed on.

Did you add bidding yet?

No, and will not, read this:

Neat idea, it's good to see innovation in the mining space. I'll have a rig or 2 pointed leaserig's way as soon as they are built! My only thought would be that an auction system could be useful, though I see that others have already suggested this.

I dedicated a lot of thoughts to this, but at the end concluded I will not do it. The reason is simple; price is NOT the only factor that should be considered. When you sell/buy a coin, price is all that matters. Here, other things are important such as: quality of service, stability, providers tendency to do refund or extra hours if something goes wrong, etc...

I will eventually reorganize first page - free rigs will be at the top and the ones that are going to expire soon will follow - sorting by availability. I will also add additional sorting options such as sorting by best price, and if once I implement rig ratings - sorting by ratings.

I believe my competing site that offers bidding will be up around the 20th then.  Thanks.

Then how about a using something along the lines of netcat to check for a connection, as sometimes the api protocol fails, but the machine is still connected and hashing. here is an example:

nc -z <host> <port> this will return a 0 if the port is open, or a succeed message( obviously is the port is open, that means that something is listening and connected to the internet ).

Even using this in conjunction with the elapsed time in the summary API command. This would give you a real measure of the computers uptime...

And nc wont use api calls

I believe each field has improvements that could be made. I am working as much as I can to improve every aspect of the service. But I cannot make everything in a single day. Be patient, things will improve over time.

[mpdas108]

Well I guess an easier way to do the same thing in PHP would be the following code:

Code:

$fp = fsockopen('<IP ADDR/HOST NAME>', <PORT>, $errno, $errstr, 5);
if (!$fp) {
    // port is closed or blocked
} else {
    // port is open and available
    fclose($fp);
}

And 5 is your timeout.

So if the computer is responding and the port is open then the machine is running, even if the api call fails, the next time the api call is successful we can check the "elapsed time" and verify this.
