Chyeah triple doublez like bosses

doesn't this just indicate that difficulty will be going up
The difficulty will always go up with ASICs coming about. Sometimes they are just minutes apart and sometimes an hour. The system tries to keep generation to every 10 minutes. We were just lucky to get those 6 blocks in under 10 minutes.

That is the only way they can build in any kind of value otherwise this is nothing more than a great big ponzi scheme.

..... Basically take the phase of the mood at 3pm then put in a constant for the size of your best friend's cat. divide that by the number of people in your home town during the year of your mothers birth. now multiply that all by your hash rate, divide by the total number of points and then multiply that by the total reward minus 2%. It really is that simple.  Shocked


Come on! I've explained it a thousand times.

It's the exponential of the [phase of the moon divided by the weight of the cat] * [the number of times your cat jumped on your miner (because it's warm) per hour] multiplied by your hashrate divided by the speed of light divided by the pool's hashrate * 0.98


There's absolutely nothing about the number of people in your home town in that calculation, I have no idea where you picked that up.


Wait an old lady down the road on the wiki said that the cat had to be neutered and that the hometown counted as long as you looked at the moon at 3pm and took three tabs of acid just before spilling your pop on the cat. I know I might be a newb but I distinctly remember during my last psychotic break that Zaphod told me that as long as i had my towel I got all the coins.

This is about to get totally out of controll isn't it.  Roll Eyes

Before anyone yells at me it's a joke and I'm picking on myself.

And don't forget to consider the phase of the moon! Include also other important factors such as the weather in Alaska and whether the round ends on a high or low tide. Cheesy
Yes I think the formula was created by the same tormented mind that came up with the game of fisbin

Well your shares are looking off. It seems like you had a problem at the end of a block 18152 and start of a block 18153. For 18152 you should have about 6360 shares and for 18153 you should have 4770. So it is clear what happened. You stop mining or you had connection problems. You do know how scoring system works right? If not look back it is explained(last time) from page 429 on. If you have additional questions let me know.

EDIT: End of page 429

Heh, google.com gives different results to google.co.uk - go figure.  First hit on .co.uk was the answer using that same search.
Yes google customises results of the searches according to the state and user. I hate this "new" option...
Thats why I don't use Google.

if the block is still going through the 100 confirmations, the volume you receive (should) correct its self. Mine said none, at first, then after a couple of confirmations, reset its self to 0.003BTC

Give it time. If it fails to come back at the end of the confirmations, post again about it, and Slush will probably look into it.

yup just happened, thats why i asked nice like. wow that was a short answer.lol

can someone explain to me (yes I know it took 4 pages to answer my last question) why I recieved nothing the last block, ran my miner the entire time and it lasted like 2 hours, not sure what happened, I had almost 75 shares towards the end then they just went poof. Shocked

you have to have the namecoin miner running with your cgminer or other software for it to register namecoins for you. been running it for a little over 3 weeks and have 0.00407408 namecoins
False. Your namecoin miner does nothing in slush's pool. I've been mining for about the same amount of time and I have .5 NMC. Current NMC round is 1 day, 19:07:35. Like I said, it's getwork only and using stratum means you are not participating in the mining of a NMC block. And paying the 10% fee to use getwork is more loss than you will ever gain via namecoin.
ok then I must be hallucinating and the bitcoins that are registered in my name aren't real. currently mining with stratum not get work. very currious. sooo you saying that i'm lying is ok but it hasn't been that long maybe gremlins are eating your namecoins. last namecoin round ended last night again for your reading pleasure you will see the data from the stats page.

If you are mining on stratum, then your miner specifically will not be contributing to a namecoin block. Since the pool is almost entirely moved over to stratum, namecoins are generated very infrequently. However, anyone with a namecoin address associated with their account will get paid namecoins based on their score in the next bitcoin block that is found. When namecoins are mined by a getwork user, the payout is distributed by bitcoin round score to all miners with a namecoin address, not just those on getwork. Hope that was clearer.
makes sense, so what do you do with the darned things anyways and can you sell partial coins like you can bit, maybe keep some getworks running just to get the namecoin's

why is namecoin merged mining turned off?
what makes you say it is turned off

user wtff in the irc chat said it was disabled, and I have been mining for 30 hours on this pool with a namecoin address added yet no results
I have namecoin running with cgminer with stratus and it's still working. last namecoin was

Blockchain says Slush got block 237278, but his site doesn't agree? And that payout address is not right either. https://blockchain.info/tx/05250d0d298a075bc9cf7c224e2421d7387f1996d82dbef1982f36cb43acbb4e Whose is the error?

i second this missing.

currious would like to know the answer as well. Could it be he also has a solo rig and this is reporting a chain found that way?

Last few rounds, looks like it makes sense now just wish there was a line for my score thats all. and my hash is under 50 just dont want to admit how little it really is cause you would die laughing but like I said running this as a model and not as income generation yet.
[ ... ]

Plenty of miners have a hashrate of ~ 35 Mhps (like you).

Which reminds me organofcorti - you said you may find time for an updated blog entry - have I missed it or have you been too busy (watching day time tv - jeremy springer Smiley )
Since you are not accepting donations I would be happy to collect them for you and donate them to my favorite charity.  Grin

there has got to be a way to put this conversation into a wiki or a faq to prevent the need to go through it again for the next guy/gal

Just dont like the begging thing - the wiki thing is a good idea and has been mentioned before - I dont think anyone ever expected slush's thread to get to 431 pages...

[EDIT] someone will tell us if there's a thread with more pages than slush...

Ah ok that makes sense just teasing and I dont mind posting a website for free advert but not into begging but would still be happy to babysit any extra coins people have laying around

Now I have a question for you. Someone tolled me that if I overclock my cards I need to increase the voltage. Even if that is not necessary for stability. You just need to or you will damaged it. Is that right? It sounds wrong to me but I'm no expert...


If you are stable, then there is no need to increase voltage.  (You might have some issues that don't cause the card to stop working completely that require more voltage however.)

It will definitely not ever do damage to run at too low voltage.  Running at too high of a voltage is where you might do physical damage to your cards.




he beat me too it, I agree. The best thing to do is to use the software that came with your card to over clock it. If it didn't come with software you are better off not overclocking it. Playing with voltage can seriously fry your system if you dont know what you are doing with it.

To pay for a BL 5gh miner will take around a month if the market price goes down to 100, 3 months if it goes under 75, those are just estimates so please no one correct me. Fact is no one should invest in bitcoins at all unless they can afford to loose every penny they put into it because it is marginally stable at best. People will always do currency conversions regardless of how much of a market there is. There is a movement to use silver as a unit of trade and people still convert silver to fiat.

I think I've done that, ok he may be a troll but not currently, been an admin understand the head ache but at least he answered me. I think i've been short and to the point. Very happy with slush's pool just want to understand (as best as I am able) what i'm doing and how to monitor what i'm doing. I'm ok if my final answer is "i have no freeking idea what is happening, I basically trust slush, and I'm making some extra money so all is ok." but I follow the adage to never invest in something you dont understand or at least understand how to find answers. I've read the posts and I was impressed how the last hacking incident was solved and I hope to be able to help others later on.
You know why I'm a troll? Because I came out and say there are currently problems with the pool and there is no Slush to fix them. I also helped some others users that were having problems to figure out that it is not them but pool. Now that the Slush is back he confirmed all of the problems that I was talking about. But that makes me a troll. Nobody is allowed to say there is a problem or you are a troll or an idiot according to digital and nottm28. Now I'm just waiting for Slush to confirm that stratum problem is solved so I can move miners back to the pool.
Ok I'll stay out of that I'm new here and unless you treat me like a troll I dont really care. but does it sound to you guys (all above) like I have some clue or do I sound like a babbling iddiot.  as far as not getting a reward here are the numbers when I got none for reward

Looks about right for the hardware you are using - yes, sounds like you are well capable of understanding - mining is a minefield when you first start. I don't blame you for starting slow while you wait for new GPU hardware so you can get the lay of the land. The thing is though, CPU's mine so slow compared to the other hardware (GPU's and now a massive uptake of ASIC's) that you will only be submitting a few shares per round. This means your earnings will fluctuate wildly. When your new kit arrives you will see more of a constant kind of earnings - but you have to keep in mind luck plays a part to - so you may see double earnings one week, half the next etc.

Read those links I posted - they helped me understand loads.

actually i'm running an older Nvida gpu and so I get lower mining rates with that but it is what I already have. I have it over clocked to the max of it's ability to remain stable and not overheat the rest of the system. I actually purchased a 5gh Asic and figure with the delivery delay I have enough time to figure out what the heck is going on. (hardware geek i understood the overclocking and the difference with the nvida part right away) then it will pay for it's self after a little while purchase another etc. dont forget the market will stabilize the prices to the point that will replace the decrease in the rewards to the point that your net gain in fiat will be consistent over time resulting in the same cash now then and before. or are there some mistakes to my logic.
