ASICMiner is on our pool for a little while while they get things settled. They won't be on for very long probably.

Someone with access to several ASIC's is onboard now, cranking 1.5+THps? That's insane. I'll leave my token Nvidia machines on BTC, but the end is near for all GPU BTC mining. Time for me to switch most everything over to LTC.

All seems to be running smooth here. Sorry you guys had so many issues.

Sorry, I didn't mean that comment as a hit against you. I know you are working hard to get your pool up and running. I was (and as of this writing, still am) looking forward to getting my miners back to work. I just saw the rash of posts about BFL starting to ship earlier in the day, and instantly started to switch my BTC machines over to LTC. It was unfortunate that my new pool of choice was down.
There is more MH/s coming online from other sources than BFL, they won't be significant until they have shipped many thousands of units. If you look at other multi-currency pools like Coinotron.com you will see people have already shifted from BTC to LTC quite a while ago. Yea, that's true. I guess in my personal case those posts were the reason I needed to finally make the switch over. 4 machines are now on LTC, (or will be once this pool gets up and running again). Just one token machine left running on the Bitminter pool. |

Also this is pretty bad timing overall. With BFL starting to ship a lot of Bitcoin GPU miners are looking to switch to LTC, get the pool up!
I think that comment is a little unfair. I have been trying my hardest to minimize downtime and keep you all informed. We moved to a backup server to help stop miners loosing work... I Just got an email saying that the server is deployed its not down to waiting for them to finish then we can get in there and get things back up. Really do appreciate you patience on this one please hang in there i feel pretty bad about this but its out of our control just a bad choice in providers i guess :\...

I'm running this card for a mining rig right now and it's at a constant 85% fan and about 74c. Should I down clock it? Noise isn't the issue, but if it's likely to blow the fan running like that I'd rather save the hassle. I also have this card this card running in another machine super overclocked and it it runs the same temp but with a lower fan speed, around 65%. Side note, if I was going to combine these cards into a single machine, that has to be upright, (cards will be on top of each other) which of the two cards should be the bottom vs the top? I have another machine with the 3L card (second one I listed), should I put both 3L's in one machine and have the 4L (vents out the back fan) in it's own rig? I have risers coming, but thanks to long shipping times they won't be here for a few weeks.

Thanks again for keeping us all updated. My machines are all still running happily on the pool, with the occasional hiccup here and there. I managed to get back on during a little window a few hours back and haven't looked back. Looking forward to the new site.

Pool site: UP Stratum server: UP Getwork server: working on it moved the miners that were here - too many lost hours.  Awhile back we setup a dopey little in house p2pool node here at work just for CPU machines inside the building. I've switched my GPU miner over to that for the time being. My co-workers will be happy with a few hours of real horsepower on it. It was running about 200khash before, now it's over 700. 8-) I'll check back in a few hours or tomorrow to see if everything is 100% before coming back to GMLTC. |

I finally get script mining up on CGminer using a new 7950 after hours of banging my head against walls in linux. YAY! Oh crap, pools down. Scared to restart on another as it took me forever to get my .sh setup so it runs. Oh well, it was a fun few hours.

So basically having over 50% doesn't mean the sky is falling. The person (or pool operator) has to want to do bad things. If he/she/pool just keeps mining as usual nothing bad can happen really?

I need help. The Bitminter website is showing 0 Bitcoins in my "Account details", but Namecoins increases. However, in the "Workers" section, I can see that I am mining Bitcoins because the "BTC Accepted" number keeps rising. Wtf is going on here?
Have you just started mining? It takes awhile for coins to start trickling in. Look in your "Future" column for what will be there at some point. |

I use the same p2pool (Freya.Syari.net, Litecoin) on multiple machines at multiple locations, on multiple networks (one or 2 machines at each location)... What is the best way to have this setup for P2pools?
Use the same wallet address for all machines or,
Have each machine have it's own wallet (and address), or,
Have each machine use a different address from one single central wallet?
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering, for sciences sake, if you could add a overall average time to find a block listing somewhere on the website. I know the actual times can greatly vary, (1 min to sometimes 10+ hours) but it would be nice to see what the bitminter pool average "Find a block" time is over a the course of a week, or a month, etc...
Can't be that hard to get the average.

hi i jus done a lil dummy test where i connected to ur bitminter it seems to log on an connect it is mining atm on my cpu as i got a a lame graphics card ( please over look my ignorance i only got into bitcoins a week ago or more) when it says no open cl compatible does it mean the graphics card in my laptop needs to be different or that i need to upgrade sum software regarding? i'm only doing this to get a feel for it (usin cpu or gpu if possible atm) i knw asic is the future of minning bt we all know thers so very limited availability of asics. however in the future will your bitminter pool work with asics from butterfly( if they ever come) or even other asics. thanks to all in advance for ur help.
Which graphics card do you have? The pool server already works great with ASICs. There are users in the pool mining on ASICs already. I am working on adding support for BFL SCs in BitMinter client. I aim to have this finished and stable before BFL customers receive their ASICs. my laptops got a AMD ATI mobility radeon hd 5470 lol i know ryt super rubbish. also any chance ur pool will mine litecoins in future He's stated several times in this thread that he is considering LTC support, but his "to do" list for improving the BitMinter client is long and LTC support is not very high on said list. It'll probably happen someday though, just no time table as to when. |

I've only been mining a few weeks, and have only used notroll.in. Between what shows in my notroll account, what's in my home wallet and my "Lifetime Earnings"... They all add up perfectly. I've been removing my coins about every 1 or so, but I haven't seen any of the issues you all are talking about.
/edit I'm not taking sides here or denying what has been reported in this thread. Just tossing out my personal experience so far with Notroll since April 3rd or so.

BitMinter to take 1% fee - still most profitable of top 10 pools
BitMinter has been zero fee for a long time. Unfortunately this is not a sustainable way to run a pool because most miners set their donation to 0%.
We will be moving to a 1% fee on saturday 20th of april.
We are still the most profitable of the big pools, due to low fee, paying out namecoins (6% extra income), paying out income from transaction fees (1% to 2% extra income) and being safe from pool hopping.
What happens on the 20th of april:
- 1% mining fee takes effect (BTC and NMC)
- Prepay perk cost reduced to 1.5% (from 2%)
- Users with prepay on will have their donation reduced by 0.5%. Set it back up afterwards if you like.
- New users will have a 1.5% default donation (rather than 2%)
There will also be more perks coming, but I can't promise any timeframe on that.
Hi DrHaribo. Could you elaborate a bit more on the last point "New users will have a 1.5% default donation (rather than 2%)". Does this mean that it's cheaper for me to wait until the 20th before joining BitMinter?  SourceNo what he means is that currently the donation for perks is 2%. After the change on the 20th it will drop to 1.5%. So you can join now without fear. After the 20th the flat fee will be 1%, and if you want to activate perks you need to bump it up to 1.5%. Basically right now you could set no fees at all in bitminter, but if you want the perks (Prepay, etc) you donate 2%. After the 20th there's a 1% fee no matter what, but if you want the perks you bump it to 1.5%. Current new users are auto set at 2%, but after the 20th they will auto set at 1.5%. You can drop that down to nothing (which in reality will be 1% after the 20th.) Over-explained, but hope you get it. |

On a unrelated note. What just happened in the blocks? 99.9% for 10 hours then one solved in minutes using 44Thps? Glitch in the matrix?
A 10 hour block can happen, that's just bad luck. The other block took just 1 second to complete. In such extreme cases the hashrate estimation gets way off from reality. I get the variance, that happens. What puzzled me was the steady 5.5GHps for every block but the one that only took a few seconds. It was right before the 10 hour one, and it's (the shortly solved one) rate was 44Terahashes vs the normal 5.5gigahashes.. That's the glitch I was talking about. It's just a strange thing to see. Basically it was just a glitch in the matrix in the end. I wonder what the odds are of solving a block in 1 second at this difficulty.  |

Newbie - Need Help - sorry. Running on a mac mini 2013 (i5 version)... the app is unable to use the GPU due to not finding OpenCl... do I need to install a driver?
Cheers,
Larye
Sadly the MacMini does not have a OpenCL compatible graphics card. If it has the integrated Intel Graphics (your's does) then it's a no go. On a unrelated note. What just happened in the blocks? 99.9% for 10 hours then one solved in minutes using 44 Thps? Glitch in the matrix? |

It would be nice also if you put a little clock at the top of your site that showed the current time in UTC. (Guessing that's what the timestamps are on your site). That way it's easier to do the math in my head when payout times are etc...
