I don't see why Luke Jr.'s patches should be default, they should be an optional flag. If someone wants to use their BTC to gamble they should be able to.

A second thought though is what about blacklisting known theft addresses, i.e. destination addresses that stolen funds have ended up in. This would help to deter thieves from being able to spend their stolen BTC.

Just a thought.

Any word on when there will be a fix for Sgminer 5.0 ....

I don't need so there is no problem.

You don't HAVE to specify intensity, thread, clocks per pool, it is optional, the only thing not really optional is algorithm. I had multi-algorithm working fine on NiceHash with only the pool-algorithm specified, and none of the other stuff, works fine.

Fantastic..

I found it... here in the new API documentation:

addpool|URL,USR,PASS[,NAME,DESC,ALGO] (*)
               none         There is no reply section just the STATUS section
                              stating the results of attempting to add pool N
                              The Msg includes the pool URL
                              Use '\\' to get a '\' and '\,' to include a comma
                              inside URL, USR or PASS
               Name, description and algorithm are optional

So please start adding the algorithm to the addpool api command.. this is also the key to my previous request...

Ok now here is a big problem, I am using sgminer 5.0, and I just set it up for X13, it got hired, when LeaseRig went to change the pool and save the configuration, it changed the algorithm kernel to "ckolivas", where is was "marucoin-mod" before, so the renters X13 pool wouldn't work with that kernel, I had to go in and manually change the kernel back. I already tested the API save command,  and that does not affect the kernel, only when LeaseRig changes the pools.

This seems to be a hint to my previous request, but also a LeaseRig bug for now. Looks like the new api for sgminer 5.0 accepts sending an option for algorithm to the kernel, and when that option is not specified, it defaults to "ckolivas", so please, can that be fixed otherwise I can't rent my rigs out. If upon each hire the algorithm gets changed back to default I won't be able to provide service here anymore..

With the release of the new sgminer 5.0, you can switch algorithms on the fly. I can't help but feel that some way or another we could have a section called merged mining, where all of the providers that are using the new sgminer can host their rigs, and the renter can choose the algorithm they want...

This would revolutionize things, so that a provider doesn't have to worry about changing their provider settings to suit the most profitable algorithm. They can put their price in btc/mh/day in scrypt equivalent, and it could be displayed accordingly for the different algorithms on the fly.

example:

Scrypt   x1 BTC/GH/Day
Scrypt-N   x0.5 BTC/GH/Day
X11           x4 BTC/GH/Day
X13           x3 BTC/GH/Day
Keccak   x500 BTC/GH/Day

This way if I want to rent a rig I dont have to worry if there are enough rigs in the "X11" section, because all the rigs would be able to whatever algorithm I wanted... get the idea.. NiceHash has setup a similar thing, Im sure we could do it here too with a little thought put into it.

X11 and X13 ports on multi and direct are both showing DEAD in the new sgminer, all other algorithm ports are fine and alive... is this the case?

EDIT: the pools are showing dead, not the gpus.

Any updates, or clues to the cause of this...

LeaseRigs.net's IP address is 23.236.58.114 , you can simply add that to your hosts file. Everything will work fine then. It is only a DNS issue.

EDIT: I am assuming you already know how to add names to your hosts file, if you don't then let me know I can help you out.

Well I just checked with pingdom.com and leaserig.net is up. It is reachable from India also, (where Im at). Seems as though the DNS servers that Vodafone ( my ISP ) are using have lost Leaserig.net's name registration. Perhaps you recently updated your DNS information, and it hasn't propagated properly yet. In anycase I just added Leaserig.net's IP to my local hosts file and everything is fine again.

If it is due to a site update, it would be nice if while updating the site you can put and easy single html page stating that the site is being updated.

Site is offline for me..

Renters lease was promptly extended for the downtime.

Due to internet connection that went down. I extended the lease, and refunded lost BTC.

I don't use LRP, and I have had many people rent my rigs out and hash at p2p's .

Whats up with X11, there all rented out, what coin?

Same here.

All I have to say is.. what the hell... please fix this broken system.
