Re: Status as of Thursday, September 18

Mining profitability - September 2014

Steve and I decided we needed two miners to perform testing on the development server. I spent a few hours last week evaluating the profitability of miners to heat my house during the winter, and I came across a few findings that I thought were interesting and that I should share with everyone.

Re: A few thoughts - Wednesday, September 10, 2014

Regarding the false information, this is not an issue isolated to one specific forum. You would be interested in many of the psychological studies on belief persistence/perseverance. This problem applies to the public perception of many scientific fields, and there doesn't seem to be an effective wa...

Re: Terrible Reject Rate

I just changed to the August 31 code on the mining server. Hopefully that should improve the duplicate shares. Ikehoff, thank your for your offer. However, we already have have another person who will be doing this for us over the weekend, so we do not need your assistance right now. Steve, we also ...

Planned server downtime on Friday at 3:00PM EDT

I will be taking the server offline for about 30 minutes tomorrow 9/5/2014 at 3:00PM EDT in order to install a replacement router. This replacement router will enable the pool to have a higher number of connections to peers, thus reducing block orphanage rates. I will make a post when I take the ser...
