[ANN] ptsweb.beeeeer.org - Protoshares mining sub-pool

[xolokram]

i just checked my logs on the pool, looks like there are no issues on my side currently (except for a restart on the web frontend sometime last night)
you should definitely switch to the new miner, the old one (incl. the original pts client) ist just bad regarding rejection rates (stale blocks)


btw if a payout states "reward = 0" (e.g. here), that specific block is an orphan unfortunately --- just fyi before someone asks
everyone who is/was mining on my old xpm pool should be aware of the gorgeous payout-info pages

The linux version seems to work well, 93%-100% valid. But the hashpermin is low, it started ~8-9hpm, has gone as low as 1.5hpm, and is now hovering consistently around 3.5-3.8 hpm. Linux 64bit, 8CPU, 16GB, 799% CPU, 34% MEM; 8 processes. 

Is that hashpermin about right? I was expecting ~20.

No the hashes/min output is bugged.

Just checked and for me it seems that there is less rejects but hashrate is much lower than the other client (does it just hide rejected shares?) - overall the same :)

i was wondering that too about the rejects possibly hiding, but i think it's something he's done on his pool.

my stats:

VL: 2687 (99.4%), RJ: 15 (0.6%), ST: 0 (0.0%)

there is no much space to hide rejects. i made a lot PTS tonight on beeeeer pool, it's working so much better than pts pool.

are you having connect issues now? uh oh, server having issues? probably sleeping. hope it fixes itself.
hah, nevermind, saw your post xolo :)

update: i see you are awake. so should i update my servers with a new client?  i'll stay awake for a bit more n wait. thanks for your work!

... also i am not seeing the connect issues as I was about 10 minutes ago.  May have been a local network prob

@LOW HASHRATE:
the console output is bugged, i missed the counter that is now skipped occasionally due to the rejection rate fix
the actual hash rate is just like before, nothing has changed in the mining code, except that the miner is now updated correctly, when the pool spreads new work to the miners
not like with v0.1, which was just mining on stale blocks

i will fix that with the next release (linux source code update on github in a few minutes now)
if someone is interested, i can show you this in the code @smith88 & feeleep & rando & co.

@64 BIT & xxrforone & lzr1900 & co.:
eta is about 11 hours on my side (i'm currently not on a windows machine) --- i think the other guy from the "nameless pool" (ptspool?) will be faster with compiling the miner today
but miners & pools are compatible (afaik)

you can already compile the miner for 64bit on linux machines, just use the common instructions for linux.
if you have a 64bit machine, a 64bit distribution, then you're compilation suite should be 64bit too and thus compile the 64bit version of the miner!

@LiteMine:
you're probably right - man, i hate this thread managing :) i need a PR manager :D

@donschoe:
like always, thx for the help

i definitely agree.  :)

beeeeer.org has been out there for awhile in the crypto scene.  seems very reliable imo.
i'm adding my nodes now.  cheers! def see a much better quality pool, rejects level is almost non-existance.  must be something in the verification on the pool side...?  awesome. thanks.  again kuddos. mm, late night tea.

I get a lot less rejected on this pool. We'll see about the payout rate compared to the others.

[LiteMine]

Just to get your wallet synced, not for mining. dima1236 asked about it.

The directions for the pool in the OP work perfectly, if you have any problems, just ask! We need more miners and blocks found. I went from 65% rejected to about 5% with this pool.

xolokram, make a bitcointalk thread and spread the word.  :)

This pool is awesome, no rejects so far! (short time)

LiteMine, What is this? Isn't adding nodes for solo mining? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

[xxrforone]

we need 64bit linux and win

Thanks a lot~ :'(

[kenpodragon]

Awesomeness in a bag - much better than the others ones by far. Switching my minehoard over.

awesome job on the pool!!!

question : my protoshares-qt says "No block Source Available" , is this normal ? can i create address and join the pool ? or should i first wait for it to sync ?

Thanks!
