[Tycho], looks like you still haven't had any time to look for my missing rewards. When may I hope to get that investigated?

Plus it makes you look like an idiot.   Why should he drop everything to potentially refund you .00001?  Give him some time.  Idle miner updates are way more important.   

And seriously, there is a lot of people using deepbit, I am 100% confident that everything is running smoothly.  There is people making a LOT more cash then me and who are way smarter.  They would have double checked the numbers by now.
This is not about refund, this is about trust and consistency. If deepbit somehow lost my 0.012 it might as well lose 1.2 for some of these big guys you mentioned. Btw, there were posts about missing rewards on another forum, so I don't think I'm the only one affected.
Idle miners issue can be solved on the client side by restarting them. And there's a GUI tool (named Phoenix Rising) available that monitors miners and auto-restarts them if found them being idle. I used it and it worked very well for me. Or may be smart people are too smart for that?

I answered to you at least two times today,

Sorry, this is not true agan. I just checked and found that I answered to you FOUR times:
 10.06.2011 20:00
 10.06.2011 14:23
 10.06.2011 0:23
 09.06.2011 23:26
 
I didn't give you more details because I'm working on the disconnection issues now and didn't checked your info yet.

Today is 10.06.2011. I'd count the answer at 0:23 as the yesterdays one as it was before I (and probably you) went to bed. If you told me that you're busy and didn't have time for checking my issue right away I would sure tolerate that and be patient but from my side it all looked like simply ignoring the issue. Sorry if I was too rough and let's just end this arguing as it only takes my time as well as yours and is really unproductive.

I wrote another PM to [Tycho] with all the details, but got no response so far.
I answered to you at least two times today, why are you saying that you got no response ?
You answered me only once (as your second PM came right after I posted my message here) and your answer was once again not saying anything that makes sense to me. After that I sent a new PM with detailed calculations (although you had a chance to do that math yourself out of all the previous information) and I didn't get any response on that for the whole day. And so I wrote my previous post we all can see now on the top of this page.

Have anybody else noticed any discrepancies between the statistics page and the account balance?

Here's my story. Two days ago I withdrew all my bitcoins from deepbit to my wallet leaving 0.00xxxxxx on my balance here. When I checked my balance a day later I found that it was 0.39645653 by then, but when I summed up all rewards from the statistics page since the moment I cleared my balance the day before, I got 0.40519811. So, even if those xxxxxxx were the plain zero which they sure were not, there was an obvious 0.00874158 difference between the sum of rewards posted on the stats page and the account balance. I PMed [Tycho] but got a very vague response saying that he might look into that.

This morning I checked the balance again and that time it was 0.0.73334364 but the total reward was 0.74595683. As you can see the difference between both increased by 0.00387161 and became 0.01261319. I looked at my stats again and immediately found the block with the reward matching that:
10.06 03:09:01 [UTC]   0h 21m     62    776677     0.00387162

I wrote another PM to [Tycho] with all the details, but got no response so far. There must have been deepbit server glitches which have resulted in missing some blocks' rewards and I really hope that [Tycho] can find and fix them. My hash rate is rather low and so is my loss but other people with higher rates might be more severely affected. While we pay 3% pool commission losing 1.5% more due to bugs doesn't sound good at all. I'd recommend everyone to keep a close eye on their balance until this is resolved.

I used to be a devoted deepbit fan and supporter since the time I joined bitcoin miners community but looks like it is time for me to try out some other pools because I'm really unhappy with frequent disconnects, increased stale shares ratio, and finally missing payments and lack of proper support which became the last straw for me.

Is anybody getting LP updates from this pool? I used to have about 0.5% of stale shares until recently, but now it is about 2-3% and there're no messages about new work pushed through LP. I monitored network packets and it looks like I'm getting nothing incoming from LP connection, so this is not a miner problem. I wonder whether this is my local issue or anybody else is affected.

As a reminder, phatk is still slower than DiabloMiner. Try -v 2 -w 128 or -v 3 -w 128.
-v 2 made 219, -v 3 made 208, while phatk makes 228 Mh/s on my HD6850. What am I doing wrong?

Hello.
Have you tried to use some other miner like poclbm to see if it's miner of connection problem ?
Do you use some kind of proxy/firewall that can break LP connections ?
I used poclbm with GUIMiner frontend before and it yielded about 2% stale/invalid shares recently (but there're no logs to find out what time these rejected shares were at). I switched to phoenix due to a higher hashing rate of 228 vs 216.
I have standard Win7 firewall and also there's a firewall on my 3COM router, but I don't think they would break LP connections. Anyway, I'm going to turn both off and see if anything changes with the stale shares ratio.

I wonder whether long polling doesn't work for me. I've got a rather high stale ratio (about 4-5%) and there're always a few rejected shares reported by phoenix just about the time there's a new block solved on DeepBit. E.g. (times are GMT+4)

Looks to me as if the miner doesn't receive notifications from the pool and continues to calculate an outdated block. I'm using phoenix 1.48 with -u user@mail.com:1234567890@deepbit.net:8332/ -k phatk DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128 AGGRESSION=8
Hash rate is about 228Mh/s on HD6850 @ 875
