I don't actually use that, but you can pull template_registry.py out of it for the changes you need.

Edit: and bitcoin_rpc.py

In theory, you should be correct. However, the statement is only true if looking at infinite time (law of large numbers), and probably no one will mine infinitely
The high difficulty increases variance, especially for "small" miners, and most people dislike variance.

I would like to see a smaller diff (like 128), especially for the fast coins, the smaller miners will (most probably) not find a share ever if unlucky (again, high variance)

btw: my 650kH/s miner found 3 shares in 4 seconds, two of them in the same second ...

I think something else to take into consideration... I am not 100% sure if this is how it works so someone please set me straight, but let's say you have 4 cards at 500KH/s.

GPU0, GPU1, GPU2, GPU3 would each be carrying their own workloads, therefore while you could have 50000 million hash rate due to tons of GPU's, each GPU is still a separate animal working on things independently.

This could be wrong, but it's what I infer from CGMiner's reports, especially being that it separates the work load of each GPU in its outputs.

So what happens when the pool becomes popular and there's miles worth of slippage dumping coins on Cryptsy? Distribute average price to the pool or those out early make more than those out late? The depth of the order book is going to become a factor when dumping a large volume on a low volume exchange.

Doing some kind of maintenance?

Or isn't the pool down for anyone else?

Oops. try now.

Its coming up..

H20 are we all good now???  Are you working on any other issues?   Did you get NVM going?

Just keeps telling me there is a new block before I can submit anything.  Would that be the problem people are talking about

My ping is 182ms and my hash rate is between 500-700 kh   

If the pool gets too big I would think the answer is to mine two or three best coins at once.  Maybe that helps the slower people get a look in ?

I think that's right, if you have 4 gpu's you have 4x the chance to solve a share in time X.
