Ok I somehow got 2 accounts, and it confused me. I'm very busy and preoccupied. I have to turn off everything for a few days because of thunderstorms. Everything is fine now but you can delete my account with no workers.

My worker is gone and everything is 0, but under round history it has confirmed and uncomfirmed, what is going on?

I actually like the current system of proportional. I also don't poolhop, but I turn it off when there's a thunderstorm or power outage. I really find the stats useful, and since you could check that the time percentage I spend on this pool is >90% uptime, I think that should be tracked by the server, and full stats should be given to me and others with similar uptimes. If anyone abuses that information to go below 90% uptime, then any relevant stats can be removed again.

exactly 33 hours ago on the hour the power turned back on after a power outage and I lost 4% of my hashing power. Did something change in the pool at around this time or is my hardware damaged?  If it is caused by the pool, please change it back. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

There was a big storm here, flooding, lightning, and water went all over my running hardware. This was just before the long round finished. I had to wait a day to make sure it was dry to even see if it still worked after I moved everything. I'm even surprised it still works after I saw water splash straight into my fans and all over the computer boards. There was water,paint, and dirt on top of capacitors and all the fans. Even the harddrive was on the ground when water poured over it while it ran, and it still works. I was standing in the water on the floor when lightning struck and I felt the current.

But unfortunately that means I missed the good luck streak here, I started mining again now, but in the chaos I forgot my password. Could you add a reset password from e-mail feature?

Looks like its 95% 6 days and average about 2 days. I like the lack of rejects though. How can you afford the bonus?

Last Block June 27 is this right? Is everything working? I joined now but I'm a little worried.

I run 2 6990s and 1 hour ago i was getting about .5 hw errors per second and full speed on the newest version.

Then there was a power brownout and all my equipment froze and restarted. When I restarted, the newest version gave me 75-85% of speed under the same settings and 1000 hw errors per second. However on the old version which I switched back to now, I get 100% speed still.  I had this problem before, and what might have fixed it is reseating the cards. But if thats the problem why does the old version work fine?

I just tried the newest build, and somehow the hardware errors are around 180 instead of 180000 and speeds are as good as the old version. Whatever you did worked, thanks.

I was using the -g option with various values but I find it increases rejects and for some reason -f1 decreases the speed even though its supposed to increase it for my system.

Are the grouped rejects related to a pool specific protocol like longpoll, is that what you meant?

I have more testing and pool hopping to do later, but for now I am happy with this miner again.

Regardless of the pool I use, the rejects group together usually 2-20. Is there a reason for this and is it usual?

On the new version of diablominer, speeds decrease with hardware errors and the pool reports those speeds. But on the old version it gave much higher speeds and the pool reported those higher speeds. I have tested this. How can this be fixed for the newer version?

(I know i asked this before, but i got no answer specific to grouped rejects and there is a 25%+ speed difference between versions that is not just on my end, I have experimented with -v and -w to no major difference in the long run)

I have a few ideas about what could be related.
This could be a windows XP specific issue.
It could be because of crossfire.
I only get hardware errors on my slave GPUs.

btw, do you have an option to turn off hardware checking in the newest version?

Both. On the newest version it just shows all the hardware errors and slows down for some reason.
the rejects are 5-10% regardless of pool

I am not a newbie, I have bought and sold BTC on otc with an established reputation and also do coding, computer hardware, and am generally knowledgeable with these types of technology. (I didn't sign up to these forums because I had no need until now.)
I need to help mining software with my feedback, and I'm setting up more equipment and may need to make related posts. I have been mining for one and a half weeks.

Surprisingly this is not on Eligius. It is on mainly DB and slush wouldn't even work. BTCGuild works best now, but it doesn't give good stats there. The hardware errors are everywhere, but pools do seem to affect speeds.

But even with BTCGuild I can't use the newest version because there's too many hardware errors and speed goes max 75%.
Is it normal to get clumps of rejected shares?

Diablo Miner Trouble

Since I can't post in the official thread, I will post the problem here.

I am mining 2 6990s on xp sp3(SDK2.4 Cat 11.6) with crossfire enabled because I can't see the gpus when disabled.
I have been mining for just over a week. The reason I'm using diablo is because that old version is the only miner that i tried that could use all 4 of my gpus.
There are several problems, some of which I'm sure are limited to other factors. But here are all of them.

5-10% rejected shares
 The rejected shares are rarely isolated, but group together with usually 5-20 rejected all at once on all gpus, which indicates there's some type of flaw in the miner, since i got only as high as 1.5% on phoenix.
need to use old version of diablominer since new version only gives me 50-75% of the rate with a very huge rate of hardware errors.
 On the most recent version
frequent disconnects on pools and errors about longpolling too frequently.
speeds are not stable and fluctuate by as much as 10%

The biggest problem is the hardware errors, reduced speeds, and stales. Diablo or experts please help.
