Hi, have a good day.

Any progress on something to show historical shares in each round for each individual? Now that this doesn't directly relate to BTC earned it would make things more transparent and clearly show the "unders and overs" system in action. It would also allow us to see our Pot of BTC remaining to even things out during a long round.

There has been good progress made on that, and I have all those numbers you ask for in our database. Unfortunately this past week has got us sidetracked fighting off DDoS attacks  Angry

For the stability of the pool, this dictates that we must spend some more time applying some of our lessons learned and attempt to reduce the effects of further attacks.

I do not want to attempt to guess when we will feel comfortable with our additional measures and be able to return to developing features. However, I completely understand the interest in trying to be transparent. If you (or anyone else) wants up to the minute details on those stats, do not hesitate to #bitp.it on irc.freenode.net and I'll be glad to give you all the information I can. Considering we haven't yet exposed that via the UI, it's the least I can do.

Never used it and wouldn't know how http://serve.mysmiley.net/confused/confused0024.gif

Besides, as long as there is progress and I can expect to see this soon then a week or two is not going to make much difference.

Keep up the good work

I actually put mine to work on World Community Grid doing research on things like cancer. (we call it crunching)

In fact it is the reason I started mining...to help fund more crunching rigs and pay the electric

There are a bunch of us over at Xtremesystems (a computer forum) that have added cards to our rigs to do this.

come pay us a visit. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?207-World-Community-Grid-(WCG)

Need more rigs and stuff???

Those of you with an interest might want to have a go at winning stuff in another computer forum's BIG Giveaway

If you join to have a go then tell them Grumpy sent you....

Re: AOCLBF question - how to identify which card is which

run a single card for a moment and, if you have set temp max, temp displays on screen. If temp is high you have it right if temp is idle swap them.

repeat for second card to confirm

engage both cards

Liking the "no activity" label, Much more useful

I seem to have a dying rig and even though I have other spare slots I'm struggling to get AOCLBF to see them. I will get the last card back online soon though.

Re: AOCLBF (was Phoenix Rising): Phoenix/POCLBM GUI With Built-In Overclock Tool

Hi, Selecting openCL device with one card is working fine for me on rigs with 1 card

However whilst it also works fine with 1.74 and 2 cards, with 1.75 and 2 cards the issue seems to be that no matter what number I define manually the second card is not seen.

For temp monitoring there are 3 options: 0,0 and 3. Selecting 3 for the temp monitoring clearly shows the second card temps

Incidentally, selecting the 1. cypress option for the first card then the 0 option manually for the second runs both on one card.

Is there a file I can edit to cure this?

EDIT: Using 11.8 drivers, win7 64U and rolling back to 11.7 drivers and 1.74 on this machine did not help.

How is everybody tracking their individual payments with the new system? I know it should average out in the long run but I feel I need to see records to confirm this in maybe a "your history" page

Good progress by the sound of it.

I'm not going to try to debug my stales until my isp replaces the POS modem that they changed out recently when the old (good performance) one failed.

Another one bites the dust  Wink

I would like to see a personal history of BTC earned for each block. Would that be a relatively easy thing to do?

I don't pretend to understand the new system(s) nor how long it will take until things level out using it but I'm running here with AOCLBF and all rejected are under 2%, a good thing in my book.

Alternate to proportional need not be non-proportional

Maybe leave things just as they are  ...BUT...  report the Round....   .Shares.....Difficulty.....Duration.....Hashrate info from 24 hours ago

Alternatively

report total shares so far this week and make the distribution at week end when all the round info could be published too

Just thinking aloud here and wondering if all pool's reports are similar just because it started that way and became the norm? sort of making everyone Hashing lemmings

I hopped in around day 10 of the long round. I thought there would be some benefit to the pool to have what at the time was another ~5% of hashing power. I consider that the hours I spend mining * hash rate are paid the same to all.... I guess I am saying would someone explain the problem with pool hopping...I don't see it http://serve.mysmiley.net/confused/confused0024.gif

have you looked at AOCLBF http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=10264.0

It has a few features that might interest you but it requires that you d/l Phoenix too so is a little more work to set up than guiminer

Ok tried a fresh install on a different machine and even though some of the files you have (as above) are missing in mine, I now have one rig with one card up.

Somehow I expected the OSD to be bottom right...but top left works too. I will try out the extended features tomorrow.

Again dishwara, thanks for the help.

Would one of you guys, that has this running properly, be kind enough to post a screenshot of the filestructure. That is to say one that shows which files should be in the same place as this .exe file.

I seem to be able to run this but it does not engage the card so maybe I am missing some file or it is in the wrong place.

sounds like your desktop is bigger than your screen but with only one card....Hmmmm

I'm not sure about this, I was a nvidia guy for too long, take a look at what shows up in screen resolution, particularly, if you see more than one showing (thinking of the dual dvi out and its effect on windows)
