If this "patch" works well, we will not forget about you phzi. I promise you that.
That's right... He will not forget what a fool you were to give it up for nothing.
I offered a comprehensive fix to him for less than what nicehash lost in potential incremental revenue over the last three days and he was too stubborn to make an intelligent business decision, so he too is a fool for not having accepted the deal. And by insulting him right now, I am implanting in him the urge to send a token payment to you for having providing a workaround, simply to 'punish' me for being a capitalist -- which he is himself! You're welcome.
As for the problem with idle miners - I have not observed failed auths in these cases. I see the pool accepting the auth request with p=, but not being able to provide work. This seems to occur when there are jobs at the desired profitability, but those jobs are already maxed on miner (no slots available). The pool keeps the connection open and allows the auth innappropriately. If I set p high enough that no jobs are available (full or not), this doesn't happen.
My patch is hacky and I don't plan to publish it. Besides, right now it is giving me an advantage... why would I share when you have made this system competitive instead of fair/proportional?
And what exactly happened between then and now? If you had this hacky fix, then why did you not provide it to nicehash earlier?
Why change your mind now? Did you fall deeper into depression, needing more attention from strangers to help bring you out of it?
Why would you even need a fix since all you do is stare at your miners all day anyway?
What happens in a few days when you are feeling depressed again? Will you repeat the cycle?
