jurov: i now have better understanding why jobs had to humiliate engineers to get what he wanted
jurov: As early as 1987, the New York Times wrote: "by the early 80's, Mr. Jobs was widely hated at Apple. Senior management had to endure his temper tantrums. He created resentment among employees by turning some into stars and insulting others, often reducing them to tears. Mr. Jobs himself would frequently cry after fights with fellow executives".

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 14 @ 0.18481285 = 2.5874 BTC [-] {6}
BingoBoingo: I've also only got a bit more than 22 hours of rented hash left
BingoBoingo: Hopefully this thing plays well with different workers mining to the same address.
X-Rob: OK, that's better. It's now accepting shares at 1024 when I ask it to
X-Rob: it's still resetting every couple of seconds, but, that's just how p2pool works
X-Rob: it appears to be better
X-Rob: albiet still sub-optimal
X-Rob: s a p2pool limitation now
BingoBoingo: X-Rob: But still, more transparent than alternatives. When chalbersma get on feel free to suggest some optimizations if you can think of any.
X-Rob: this is now as good as it's going to get 8)
X-Rob: ... maybe it could be better
X-Rob: What I'm seeing on the dashboard is not what I"m seeing when submitting shares.
BingoBoingo: I have to say this is probably the most consistent rented hash I've ever had it seems. The 600GH/s pointed at it nao
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: I don't think I used the word suck.

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 43 @ 0.183 = 7.869 BTC [-]
X-Rob: Assume 'asic reset time' = ... 500msec. That happens whenver the pool says 'discard all your work, I have a new block with a new coinbase'
X-Rob: on a non-p2pool pool, that happens once every block
assbot: Sesame Street: Elmo's Ducks - YouTube
X-Rob: so every 10 minutes, 500msec of hashing is thrown away
X-Rob: that's not that bad.
X-Rob: but p2pool has sharechains. The sharechains is, according to p2pool, a new block
X-Rob: so every n seconds a share is found (Which, currently, is about 8k or so, looking at when I'm getting resets sent through)
X-Rob: I'm submitting a valid share every.. 10 seconds or so
assbot: 10 Orks (subtitle eng) - YouTube
X-Rob: I'm finding a block with a difficulty of 8k every 10 seconds.
X-Rob: which means every 10 seconds, I (and all the rest of the miners) get told to discard everythign they're working on

BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: A big thing with p2pool seems to be finding miners that play nicely with it. Antminer S2's suck, but S1's and S3's are ok. Other rigs are somewhat trial and error in my limited research.
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: Well complicating this is also that other than Antminers I dunno what mining hardware is actually shipping in quantity
BingoBoingo: RagnarsBitch: Also with that site... It just functions as a sort of Ebay trying to be a "dumb" middleman so contacting rig owners off their paltform is a hassel

X-Rob: The share difficulty is better, chalbersma, btw
X-Rob: the gui is saying it's still small, but it seems to be only asking for resets at about 12k now
BingoBoingo: Oh, fixing the share difficulty was in part my bashing hash into the pool unproductively for a while's result
X-Rob: It wasn't accepting +diff before
X-Rob: that was the first major fix that chalbersma did
chalbersma: X-Rob I looked it up. It will accept +diff but there's a maximum + you can go up. going 1024 when diff was 1 was too much.
BingoBoingo: X-Rob: Well, maybe a mix. For a while there were 0.002 second share times.
X-Rob: chalbersma: Hmmm. Anyway, it's working fine now with +1024
X-Rob: and that's the important thing.
X-Rob: The pool still has its share difficulty way too low.
