some people with fpga are doing better on port 8331, it is bitcoin only.
We will need to find some time to look into this, we have the same hardware mining on the same servers with very different stale rates
some people find turning aux longpolls off helps others find its worse

pretty bad actually... mostly around 64ms, then some up to 100ms.
I'm in Los Angeles, where's the server?

Web site looks slightly different this morning.  Doing PPS too now?

Would it be possible to enable it per-worker instead of the whole account ?

Hi Ozco,

Is 120 confirmations really necessary? Did you ever saw a block having - let's say 10 confirmations - to be invalid?
The DGM makes the waiting to be even more important (because some of the gains gets delayed to future blocks)

120 confirmation is neccesary unless all payouts are promised at PPS. You do realise that ozcoin have to wait 120 confirmations before they get credited for the 50 BTC block. If they hit some of those 14-20 blocks they have shown in the past within 120confirmations, that would mean they had allready paid out 700-1000BTC out of their own wallets before getting credited by the network.

Looking at ozcoin hashrate peaks it would be near impossible, unless they carry a huge wallet from their donations which I doubt, for them to payout before clearing the 50 BTC.

Since ozcoin doesnt charge anything, its less than practical to payout anything before receiving the block payment from network.

Clipse got it

Obviously we do carry a "buffer"  but its better to pay out when we have the coins to pay than hit a situation where miners are expecting BTC but we don't have them to pay out right now as we have to wait for the confirmations.

Members that donate 5% back to the pool get payouts on blockfind, this was implemented for impatient people

Looking out in the real world I see people getting paid for their efforts weekly, fortnightly and sometimes monthly rarely instantly, is ~20hours really that long to wait?

I saw the same question posted in another pools thread too

um
generated blocks need 120 confirms - it is hardcoded in bitcoind before the pool or solo miner gets their BTC
block generation and transaction confirmations are very different

fair call , it is a 50/50 thing, some people do it to support, some to get their BTC quick
Either way it does help pay the bills and is appreciated

A *lot* of miners use us as backup for a >100%PPS proxy, you can see from our graph when they are offline lol

It seems more miners these days are trying to micromanage income so as not to have to be "even" over time but ahead by the minute

I like that the number of regular users is increasing and our "base" hashrate is improving even though the "spot" hashrate can vary greatly

To be fair, you guys were averaging 1-1.2TH during the last couple of days

Combine that with luck of the gods = free cheese

Oh, you should double the deepbit block count considering about half of them dont get tracked to deepbit.
