Mining proxy executable 0.8.1 for Windows has been released.

Nice to hear from you again after a hectic two weeks.  Sorry to hear that the reason you were away wasn't a positive situation.  Whenever you're looking to sit down and play with some code, slush and I are in #stratum, and normally at least one of us is around.



For Stratum testers out there, BTC Guild just introduced dynamic difficulty using the mining.set_difficulty method, with target share rates of between 1 per 3 seconds (faster = diff increased) and 1 per 10 seconds (slower = diff decreased if not already at diff=1).  If you have a large farm, you might enjoy hooking up some bandwidth monitoring to your proxy to take a look at how small the network overhead become (make sure you only monitor the non-LAN traffic, since the miners still talk with getwork to the proxy).

Oh Thank god. Dodged a bullet on that one. You are my new best friend.

Joshwaa, which kind of problems? Do you see any errors?

Hm, I'm thinking that the best solution is to *not* advertise higher difficulty to the miner, but filter our low-diff shares directly in proxy (it is already doing that check). Looks like some miners have serious issues with diff!=1.

Well, miners still can work on diff1 shares and proxy will filter out these shares which don't meet difficulty requested by pool server. If there's any bug in the miner regards to difficulty calculations, it should not be triggered by readjustment difficulty by stratum server, because new difficulty won't be propagated into the miner itself.

Any success? are you using phoenix?

Using 0.8.3 and yes happy campers

Let me fix it for you ;-P.
