Is there a problem with new user signups?     

I signed up this morning and pointed to hashcows, and while it's been acknowledging my hash rate all day, I haven't earned a single share. I've basically wasted an entire day mining so far as I was at work and couldn't point it at something else.

You won't see a change to your BTC balance until payouts happen, once a day at GMT 04:00:00.  Normally you'd have an "Estimated Un-Exchanged" and "Estimated Exchagned" value that grows and adjusts throughout the day, those are currently disabled, and being worked on.  If you don't have a balance *after* payout time, its something to be concerned about, and let support know.

Ok....just...WOW all that wasted work last night. See this is what I meant about keeping us "in the know." I wouldn't have been mining with you all night had you specified it was not just a simple "stratum issue" or slow data imports, but actual factual ****ed up rounds with 0 payout.

Next sign of error, I'm off to middlecoin til all this crap is in working order. Prices are too low and going lower too quick to piss around.

Sorry, but business is business.

 

How often does "current balance" update? I've been mining for 16 hours with 2.3MH/s and I only have 0.00000522 balance which is ridiculous! I got 2 million accepted shares and 30k rejected (I think cgminer switched in between, so maybe this is just from last 1 hr, don't know).

agreed, i'm about to sign up to hashcows for testing and these password requirements are cumbersome

about 85% of the computers i use are 23 year old radio shack types and a variety of letters can be quite sticky
not to mention letters can be used to form words that some people find offensive

i say make required passwords be a 3 digit pin (no duplicate digits! i might hit the key twice on accident!) and leave it at that

I don't agree with the enforce of punctuation and uppercase for two reasons:

1) most (new) keyboard don't have the CAPS LIGHT, so you don't know if you are in uppercase or not, you have no idea how many customers bitches about the uppercase thing with the wireless keyboards, because they type it wrong several times and the passwords gets disabled, all because those keyboards don't have the caps light.

2) punctuation: about 70% of every computer i work on, have the keyboard language mapping wrong, so punctuation are everywhere except where you expect it, so, it is impossible (unless you remember the position of the punctuation keys) to type a password like that if you can't see what are you typing because the mapping does not match the real keyboard.

I think is better to use only lowercase letters and numbers, and a dictionary check, if the password is found in the dictionary, it will force you to choose another one.

Pretty sure it's all in good fun. No pressure intended, at least on my end. Glad to see progress.

EDIT: Seeing as I shouldn't double post...

Can I get a reading of how comfortable people might be with mining coins that may or more-so are certain to hit an exchange before they do, then getting payed out after? Might make a good amount, or might kill all the new alts at exchange launch. Ideas?

Wow, nearly a Terahash? That's pretty impressive.  Looks like someone got some orders of magnitude messed up....

Not sure, it's difficult to tell as the previous ledger information isn't (yet?) available. Before the site went down for rebuild, I could see that my account had been emptied by the hacker/thief but I didn't take a note of what the stolen balance was as I figured that the rebuild would list the previous transaction history on the account (which might be available later as there is a drop down tab for this).

Another thing to remember is that before Christmas so many people were sucked into the hype of Dogecoin and the pool was making good profits mining and selling DOGE so that inflated pool earnings for a while. That's a great feature of the pool in that it capitalises on the latest hypecoin and sells them to the greedy/delusioned who for unknown reasons seem to think that buying a hyped coin at the top of the market curve is the road to riches. I wonder how many people woke up to themselves in the New Year with worthless DOGE, hahahaha

It's early days, site access has only been restored in the last few hours, let's see how things go but it's very fair to say that nearmiss and aTriz have excelled themselves with their response to the hack and theft of coins.

It's good to get site access back guys, thanks very much.

um clicking on the email link, i get a 404 

Perfect cover for a sudden bail to the tropics.  

Again, I don't believe they would do such a thing. I am just a cynic who sees all possible forks in the road.

For those of use who stayed committed and trusting enough to mine in the dark, though, I'd like a .5-1% reduction in fees. I nearly bailed with all the rejects, but I felt bad. The rejects stopped being such a thing after I came there to post my updates of how they were fluxing (I hope that was active maintenance on not coincidence! )

I want the site to be back up, not to check on my miners, not to change settings....
.... I just want to see these continuous "I can't register and am asking because I failed to read all the other posts saying we're in lockdown/readonly mode on every single page for the last 50 pages of the thread".  

If I still participated in the drinking game I started 50 odd pages ago with a shot for every similar question (For pete's sake, it's in big red text on every page of the pool site now that it's in readonly mode... maybe they should have used the BLINK tag), I'd be in the hospital now...

I can't create an account. It gives me the message "INSERT command denied to user 'node'@'li58-8.members.linode.com' for table 'users'"

How can I solve it?

I think there will always be a steady stream of new coins, but when the dust settles BTC and LTC will be the only ones left standing with good value.
