OK, that might be true.

However, since even Delinquency is discussing this as a problem with the dwarf pool ("4 orphans"), it happens actually:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2747.msg34674#msg34674

So I was just wondering, theoretically, what happens to my mining rewards in that case? Do they vanish as well?

Hi,

I have a question regarding small pools, orphaned blocks and mining rewards.

In general, I am willing to move from larger mining pools such as 1gh and mmcpool to smaller ones such as the dwarf pool. Now, with a lot of hash power, larger pools can orphan blocks that were computed by smaller pools.

What happens then to the block rewards that I received as a miner using a small pool? For example, I mine using the dwarf pool, we find a block but it get's orphaned. This is of course bad for the pool operator but what happens to my rewards as a miner?

Many thanks

Sorry for flooding this thread with questions. I hope it is OK to ask a few more. This time I am trying to understand yam's output.

In particular, it would be great if someone could give me a pointer to the following things, as I couldn't find anything usuable about it so far.

• What is the meaning of Rnds C/I, Don. C/I, rnds, and ART?
• Solutions vs shares: I know the concept of a share, which is a possible block candidate and which is usually accepted by the pool unless someone else submitted this share already. However, what is the difference to a solution? When does a solution lead to a share?
• What is the meaning of the three numbers following the 'Found solution' message?

Furthermore, is there any documentation on the difference between the various AV settings?

Many thanks in advance...

I will do some more testing later to find out which AV settings lead to the segfault.

However, what I also wanted to ask is the state of the stratum support. yvg1900, I think you were discussing this with the Dwarf pool admin. Is there already some progress?

Many thanks

Setting AV to 1 seems to fix the problem. So, as it seems, one of the other code paths seems to be buggy.

Hi,

I have a problem with the mac version. The program starts normally, and after a while I get a segfault ("segmentation fault 11") without any further error message.

Some infos:
- I am using version M7n
- I tried both the ivy bridge binary as well as the generic one.
- computer is a MacBook Air, Mid 2012
- processor is a mobile core i5 Ivy Bridge (I5-3427U) with hyper-threading, 2(+2 HT) cores
- config:
threads = 0
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&m=1024&donation-interval=100
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0
- to check for hardware faults, I ran the prime95 stress test twice - without any errors (prime95-blend essentially uses ~1.5GB memory, 4 threads, computes large ffts stressing AVX extensions)

What to do?

Many thanks...
