So we got pools down, pools that constantly lose connection, pools with missing coins and pools only paying out 20% of correct rewards...yet difficulty is now over 30. WTF is going on?

You'd have to be crazy to be pool mining this so must be some serious solo mining going on.

yeah, i've had a pool at 0% fee running since hour 2

i havent had any issues

i'm at >40m ..  with about 1.5mhash



though not that having these serves any real purpose       (i think almost time to switch back to my doge p2pool)

And what pool is it ? I also mined on a p2pool for 6 hours and miss multiple millions TIPS. Is there a magical way to determine in advance that the pool you're gonna mine on is not bugged/a scam ?
Because they all use the same templates so you cannot even judge by their appearance.

Edit : seems you are the operator of the pool I'm speaking of. I mined from ~9:30 AM UTC to 15:30 AM UTC on your pool with 9MH/s and got ~800k TIPS. diff was between 10 and 20, so I should have get at least 4 to 5 millions. What happened ?

Edit 2 : I still appear in your page in the "payouts if a block were found now" section. Am I getting paid even 4 hours after stopping ? I don't get it.

Edit 3 : I'm still receiving payment from what seems to be your pool, 600k more. So I really don't get it.

I nigger-rigged it w/o restarting p2pool so you can look at each individual block on the new block explorer.  Click on them and it shows who got what.

You're definitely not missing multiple millions of TIPS... it's set to a 60 block range, if you just started mining and, say, 10 minutes had passed, then you'd theoretically only get 1/6th of what you'd get if you had been there a full hour... re: difficulty is supposed to adjust so that there is a block every 60s.  on the flip side, after you leave, you'll still get stuff for that 10m you were there for another 50m.. assuming you got any shares.  there are two values... one is the difficulty it uses to show your hash rate on the graph and one is the difficulty that will show up as a share in the share explorer

they show up as immature until confirmed

a block

go look at the earlier ones if you think you're missing something

and it's not being run on a VPS

ed: maybe you need to download the new client, it was giving out 1/5th value before

ed2: actually it's set to 30 blocks for the pool to find.  not based on difficulty.  so, yes, as long as i keep the pool up, you'll keep earning stuff for a rly long time.   though  it'd be diluted as more and more shares are earned

ed3!:  And the shares are based on share difficulty, not on # of shares you got.. so a couple of us getting a ton of difficulty .05 shares or whatever in the first 2 or 3 blocks, ... those are only worth 1/10th the value of a .5 difficulty share
