Strange. It looks like at least one other person that chimed in here was also having trouble with it. Last month when I was trying to submit tickets, I never got the emails confirming submission after submitting the form and arriving at the landing page telling me to expect email and to update with the links sent there. At the time, I attempted to send the request a few times with separate email addresses (2 different domains that I confirmed were working and receiving messages from others), and I even tried using different browsers. Nothing ever came through.
Anyway, should I try to resubmit a ticket there now then? I sent a follow up personal message your way here, so whichever is easier for you, just let me know.
Strange. I tested the ticket system from two different external emails and it worked fine. Feel free to send a PM here or an email directly (my nick at Google's mail service). Bitcointalk, on the other hand, is still skipping my notification emails occasionally.
There shouldn't be any benefit to pool hopping with CPPSRB, so I'd stick to Eligius.
Not entirely true. I had a miner outage I didn't care to repair (because the cost driving to the mining site are in no relation to the mining gain), so I went to the site after a month because I had other business there and repaired the miner.
Since then, the miner has reached a saturation in the "Estimated Change" value, so In fact I had a month of absence in the pool without this having any negative consequences to my reward for this round.
Assumed there will be a reward for this round ever again...
Not 100% sure what you're implying, and I think you have some misunderstanding as to how CPPSRB works. There is no benefit to pool hopping with CPPSRB. With CPPSRB you can
only get paid for what you submit. If you don't submit shares you aren't going to paid for them. Shares are never paid over their value at the time they are rewarded and are only rewarded once. The estimated change shown on the states is just that: estimated. The exact earnings are not calculated until a block is found. In the meantime the stats estimate how much you would earn if the pool found a block right now based on how many shares you have in the top of the share log. Assuming its estimate is mostly constant (due to a long unlucky round like this one with minimal change in overall pool hash rate) then when you stop mining/hop your estimated change will decrease as other miners displace your shares in the top of the CPPSRB share log, thus lowering your reward when a block is found and potentially slightly increasing that of other miners (they still only get paid for work done, but the share log could include more older shares with the absence of yours).
Luke-Jr's statement is in face true. There is no benefit to a pool hopping miner under CPPSRB since you can only be rewarded for work done.
