yup, someone (and in the end this means: xolokram ) has to re-code the connection management. it got bloated for historical reasons.

anyway, nice script.

thank you, donschoe, you're really a great help.

i will decrease the payout treshold to 0.5 PTS now (this will kick in with the next payout) in roughly 2.5 hours

@flower1024:
this would take some time for the implementation & the monitoring is more time intensive. i will think about it, but I have a lot more things on my todo list (including the XPM pool), we'll see.

i know that proportional payout is not flawless, but what exactly do you mean by 'cheaters'? you just mean pool hopping?

@svd:
i think i will decrease it slowly, i dont want to have hundreds of payouts on every payout iteration.
so i think 0.5 will be next, probably followed by 0.3 or 0.2 and then 0.1 if necessary.

@btc2084:
ok, i'm sorry. i'm just a little bit angry that no one was able to ask "how do i see my current balance?", but everybody seems to be able to argue about "i have not been paid, i want it naaaooowww"!!

i'm thinking about a way to check for abandoned payout addresses and forcing a payout to this address without the payout treshold after a specific amount of idle time (X days)

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO YOUR CURRENT BALANCE:
1) go to the payout list -> http://ptsweb.beeeeer.org/payouts
2) go to the latest payout (that's the one with the highest number, at the top of the page)
3) the next page your see (the payout information):
there are four fields you see which (can) contain (a lot of) addresses and associated values
these four fields are "prev", "add", "payout" and "next" (in this order)
4) go to the "next" field (doing so by searching for the term 'next', it should be at the end of the page)
5) now search for your personal address in this particular field
6) the value you see next to your address within the 'next' field is your current balance for all your submitted shares since your last payout

sorry, but what is wrong with some of you? on every user page and on the first post of this thread (which i recommend for everyone) it says:

your payouts will be executed, when blocks are confirmed & you reach at least 1.0 PTS

and in addition

check the latest confirmed payout ('next' field) for you current balance

please, before complaining: check your stats against these statesments

ps. sorry, i'm off to work now - i'll be back later today, looking into the problems (the actual problems, not of some users rumbling about "no" payouts) posted here
pps. if you want to show us your user stats, please just post the link, i dont want to see those lists in the thread, it's just painful

just added:

it's a little bit messy atm, but i think it will be helpful (work in progress)
you have to reach 1.0 PTS before you get any payout (it's mentioned in the first post of this thread)

can at least one of you three four provide any useful information, like a pts address or something?
i mean srsly i can't do or check anything with the last 6 posts!

your submitted shares are bound to the recent block the pool finds.
and every block needs to be confirmed (120 subsequent blocks) by the protoshares network before being paid out to the miners!

@donschoe:
like always - thank you

@solaaire:
the web frontend is what i'm most proud of......

@gnarl:
backend is already updated.

@hasher:
segmentation fault --- well, there's a problem with the memory allocation/access.
can you check if your mining machine is running out of memory while mining??

@everybody complaining about the payouts:
please try to understand how the payout system works first, then complain!

i'll have to add some user stats obviously.

BACKEND UPDATE INCOMING, POOL WILL BE DOWN FOR A FEW MINUTES DONE
