I hate such long rounds, but no, this is not affected by attack.

Yes, pool was DoSed (actually not DDoSed). It is already solved. I have theory that mtgox price drop and attack to two pools (my pool and currently deepbit) were orchestrated by single entity .

That means your miner didn't submitted a share in time of round. You're mining with few MHash/s, correct?

Btw that does not affect your 'expected reward' in longer term. You don't need to be "in" every block to make expected income.

"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"

Looks like mtgox side is down...

Update: In the meantime, you can use "hidden" feature of bridge: switch "-w", which disable websocket and start polling of bitcoincharts. Designed for situations like this .

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Btw site was down for ~10 minutes, back up again.

I'm going to upgrade webserver, will take few minutes. Mining is not affected, I'm sorry for troubles.

It is just because pool uses self-signed certificate. I'll add some certificate signed by authority soon, but I never did it, so I'll need some learning how to get such certificate .

There are daily earnings on graph page for each user. However it isn't 'sliding 24h window', which is unfortunately hard to do with current data structures.

Send me one BTC, then I'll untar backups, load them to secondary database, find your worker stats and then type it back to your profile, ok?

Edit: Well, it was joke. Please don't send me anything, recovering one number is just too much work .

I hope not. Bitcoin client is quite difficult piece of software, by using 3rd party clients which does not implement important pieces as official client, you are risking your money and problems transfers pretty easily.


No, they are not only spokesmen. They are core developers, who understand very well what's going in the bitcoin sources.


If... but nobody is saying that they are going to add anything for 'government regulation' into the client. Read carefully - Jeff is talking just about exchanges.

You probably read something like "Are you sure? All worker stats will be lost!", right?

I should make it more clear: Don't delete workers, you'll lose all worker statistics. All, including how many blocks they solved. I'm sorry .

You picked the least important thing from my post, congratz.

I fully agree with Jeff Garzik: bitcoin exchanges, and mostly the biggest one, must do steps to following government rules to survive. Central Bitcoin exchanges are very weak point of whole infrastructure, so when they will do something illegal, they can be shut down pretty easily.

Don't forget that bitcoin != exchanges (and mainly bitcoin != mtgox). So regulating exchanges isn't the same as regulating Bitcoin. Also don't forget that mtgox is already doing steps to follow USA regulations (those 1000$ daily limit of withdrawal etc).

I really don't understand people who want to keep bitcoin illegal. Following laws is key point to have bitcoin economy running. If you don't like government, you don't need to use regulated services and buy bitcoins from some random guy on the street. That's completely your choice.

I think that people writing "FUCK" to Jeff's statement are simply dumb. Or childish.

Rewards are calculated for profile page once per hour, so there is some delay between confirming blocks on stats page and rise in balance on profile...


Yes, there was some problem, which is already solved. Originally pool paid out 100 people every hour in one single sendmany transaction. But with recent boom of userbase, 100 slots was not enough, so some payments (usually those 0.01 BTC) were pending for longer time. Now I increased payout slots from 100 to 150 and set up processing payouts every half of hour. Currently all payouts are processed and I'll be watching if 300 payouts per hour will be enough...

Yes, try json api on profile page ("Manage API tokens", everything described here)

Yes, website troubles, working on it. Mining works without problem.

Edit: Back up.

I'm not a Sierrachart developer, but I doubt it. Sierrachart is built on top .NET technologies.

If your mining income < costs and you don't want to speculate for future (higher) price of bitcoin, then - yes.

Please stop flamewar about IE in this thread. Thanks for understanding.

Please use blockexplorer. If payout is there, then it is problem on your side. Otherwise send me your wallet to PM and I'll watch it.

Actually I have many reports every day about this problem (emails, PM, IRC). It is always the same scenario: "Hello slush, I didn't received pool payment, my address is XXX". Then we find out that transaction was succesfully sent, is already in blockexplorer, but clients don't see them. "bitcoin -rescan" always works. I'm little suspicious there is some strange bug in bitcoin client, maybe something related with 'sendmany' processing. I have no idea why or where, but I'm solving those reports every day .
