The PPNLS Shift history is missing closed shifts (at least in my browser):



It doesn't effect payouts but thought I'd mention it.

My guess if you've clicked one of the column headers and changed the sort order.

Over the past two days I have had the following message several times when trying to connect to BTCG website:

Quote
Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.btcguild.com. The OCSP response contains out-of-date information. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_old_response)

    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.

This occurs in Firefox, on two different machines on two different internet connections.  I can generally get in if I try again later.  Has anyone else had this?

That's an SSL related error, which is served up by Cloudflare.  Considering you're the only person reporting it, I really can't say why you're seeing it at all.  What region are you connecting from?

Hey wizkid, you see the news about shellshock bash vulnerability today?  You may want to take a look at it.  I don't know enough about mining to know if that could be used to exploit a mining server but after that person used an exploit to steal all that NMC from Eligius, you may want to look at what this new exploit means for the webserver (if anything).

That vulnerability is being overblown to epic levels.  It requires something else on the server to allow an external connection to run commands on the local shell.  I'd call *that* the vulnerability, not bash.

shhhhh, don't tell people about it being hoppable =)  just curious, did GAW have to ask permission to use your "BTCGuild" name as one of their own pools ?  i see they recently changed it to Genesis Guild or something like that.   

No clue, I do not have any business deals or discussions with ASIC makers or cloud mining farms.  The only thing BTC Guild has ever done connected to one is when I was an official reseller for ASICMINER USB miners a year ago.
266  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [9000 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + VarDiff on: September 25, 2014, 05:09:12 PM
My mining pool experience was:

Slush -> Ghash.io -> Back to Slush and i'll stay here for the rest of my life.

Of course i did test some other pools but i didnt trust them, was gonna try Eligius but was much research time..meh

I switched over to BTC Guild with all of my 10 S3's going on it to figure out something.  What I figured out is the following:  .0186723 for 3 blocks in an 11 hour period.  I make .01746733 on average for each block we find on here.  That total for BTC Guild was for 3 BLOCKS.  

SLUSH RULES...    PERIOD!!!

I have to find 3 blocks on BTC for every 1 block we find on here!  It's a no brainer...   SLUSH RULES...   PERIOD!!!

The only way it would benefit me is if we did not find a block at all on here during that entire 11 hour period.  But how are we supposed to know that?  It's a gamble I'm not willing to take!!!

Translation:  Somebody who doesn't understand PPLNS compares per block rewards from one pool to another instead of actual earnings.  Also thinks 11 hours is sufficient to compare *any* pool to another.

With a proper test, you'd have found that BTC Guild will pay you *per block* about half of what Slush does once you have shares in every shift, and find them about twice as often.  The fees are identical, and BTC Guild pays NMC.  Statistically, it will provide better income over enough time as a result.  It is also unhoppable, while Slush's score system has been hoppable since 2011.

One last bump before the server becomes unavailable.  The various coin daemons will be shut down in a little under 24 hours, and the server lease will expire shortly after.  If you haven't made a withdrawal yet, do it now before the server is wiped clean.  Procrastinating until the last day is fine, but waiting until the day after will leave you with nothing.
268  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: ANYONE THAT USES EMC MINING POOL TAKE NOTE on: September 23, 2014, 09:17:40 PM
If there anyone here that uses EMC mining pool I would be getting any funds you have in that pool out of there ASAP as BUTTERFLY labs have been basically shut down more re this here http://www.coindesk.com/us-government-shuts-embattled-mining-firm-butterfly-labs/   I would getting coins out of there fast as may lock the pool as well

Just a heads up as they may go after the mining pool here as well due to the link to BFL

EMC is *owned* by BFL, more than a "link" I'd say.

In the last 4 months unknown has grown at an amazing rate. The times they are a changing.

If you look at organofcorti's weekly analysis you'll find that the "Unknown" portion is mostly known.  He has done an excellent job at tracking down unknown block sources.
270  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [14000 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers on: September 23, 2014, 07:13:16 PM
Hey eleuthria will you uncover any address that was used by BFL in case you spot them? Just for the fun of it...

AFAIK, BFL never used BTC Guild for any testing.  They almost exclusively used EclipseMC or private pools.


Slush and Eligius have moved next to BTC Guild in the hashrate distribution chart. I notice this happening from time to time. Not sure what's going on. Normally they are a smaller slice of the pie. Anybody know why some pools percentage of the network bounce around like this? Pool hopping?

https://blockchain.info/pools


Eligius has been very close to BTC Guild for the last few months, normally about 30% smaller in hash rate.  Slush just gets lucky once in a while.  When a small pool gets lucky, their size on that chart can more than double for a day or two.  Right now BTC Guild is 1-block behind Eligius and Slush over the last 4 days, which isn't unexpected, BTC Guild had pretty poor luck for about 3 days (then the last 24 hours had a decent spike).

Guild did have it's 2 PH/s user leave again in the last 2 days.  They seem to disappear for a few days every now and then.


I generally recommend http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/chart.php .  2016 blocks is a much better scale for comparison.  Luck still has an impact, but it's not nearly as significant as what you see on a 1-4 day chart.



On a slightly different note, looks like the 3-month luck will be joining the 100%+ club soon (the 2 oldest weeks in the 3-month average were pretty low)!

Sure is quiet in here. Maybe I should poke the hornets nest a little.

Open a support ticket on the cloud mining dashboard. Elthuria is also full of all kinds of crap, so I wouldn't believe a word he says.

What douche with a capital BAG!

Stability issues is a funny way to hide the fact that they just don't like BTC Guild because I've never pulled any punches on calling Inaba/Josh out on his bullshit, and have always been vocal in my anti-BFL views due to their actions.  The last time the pool had an outage that affected more than a fraction of the pool was 9 months ago (January), and the last time any outage lasted over an hour was during the massive DDoS last October which went on for a few weeks (though most users were only affected for a day or so).

How cute, the lying scumbag is trying to say I'm the one full of shit.  (Also: Wrong thread, though if it's in the Pools subforum I'll see it no matter where you put it).

Just posting another reminder that users should *never* use the same password on BTC Guild as they use on any other site.  In the last few days, over 14,000 IPs have been banned for repeated registrations and login brute force attempts.  There are now databases tens of millions of unique username and password combinations that have been harvested from websites (large and small alike).  Using the same password on multiple sites that you consider to be important is multiplying your risk because it only takes one of them having a password leak to compromise all of them.


And as usual, set an email on your account to require somebody to have your email account as well in order to make account changes.  Lock your email and they can't change it.  Lock your wallet and they can't change it no matter how hard they try unless they actually break into your computer and steal your wallet.dat which contains the private key of your locked address.

How do I withdraw? Do I just set the payout threshold to 0.0001 and wait a day?

0.0001, and they're executed every 2 hours.  The entire balance will be paid with that payment and no transaction fee charged to you.  However, DOGE and EAC are currently stuck until tomorrow, I need to do another transfer out of cryptsy and into the local pool wallet but do not have my cryptsy 2FA device with me today.

EDIT/CLARIFICATION:  "Tomorrow" is September 17th, which is technically today.  Basically the transfer will be done later this afternoon (probably around 4 PM [PST]), at which point any pending withdrawals for those coins will be executed.
275  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: NEW! Bitcoin Mining Pool & Trust on: September 15, 2014, 11:27:02 PM
Most informed miners would not be pointing their hashes at a pool set up by a new community member with only one post to his name.

Or anything with the words "Bitcoin" and "Trust" in the name.
276  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [14000 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers on: September 15, 2014, 11:22:51 PM
There was an error earlier with the user login cache which wasn't being updated when a user changed their password (it also affected a few new registrations).  For users that recently registered, it has been fixed if they were not put into the cache.  For users that recently changed their passwords, you may need to change them again in order for the cache to reflect the change.

The earlier known instance of this error was approximately 6 hours ago.

What difficulty should I set an antminer s3 to under workers on btcguild? I set to 512 currently.

256 or 512 will both work.  Even the default will work fine for them, it's only a small subset of miners (Dragon Miners and the rebranded copies of them) that actually *need* the difficulty changed to work properly.
278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [CLOSING DOWN] ScryptGuild Auto-Switching Pool on: September 14, 2014, 08:06:59 PM
I hope BTC Guild stays around and this Bitlicense bullshit blows over Smiley

Me too.  Just a little over a month before the first comment period extension ends, hopefully we'll be seeing a revised draft and yet another comment period after that.

There was a problem with changing wallet addresses earlier where any address entered would be rejected as invalid.  This error has been fixed.
280  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [13000 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers on: September 10, 2014, 08:41:25 PM
Well the current block and that last block are sure feeling like a sucker punch after the last few weeks of good luck.


Figured I'd pre-empt the bitching about luck with some bitching of my own.
