Yeah had a problem for about 5 or 10 minutes (40 minutes ago) - but cleared up once I restarted the pool.
I think the problem is still persisting, mine failed over again 6 minutes after your post .... and the site is still not accesible! Yeah it's a DDOS - seems the server DDOS protection cuts in and everyone is out for 5 or 10 minutes. This guy says I have to pay him 3BTC ... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=411920Don't pay anything! We will still be here long after he is gone I just received an email from Bitmain that they are being threaten with extortion now on the website and the pool. |

Why anyone would use this "pool" is beyond me. It is unstable, unreliable, badly run, badly coded, has constant problems & provides absolutely zero customer support. Zero. What little information they do give out is either misleading or blatantly wrong. On top of that, despite them stating it is a zero fee pool, they are keeping the Tx fees - how on earth that classes it as a "zero fee" pool I don't know  I really can't think of one reason to use this terrible pool, not one. I could not agree more! |

Unless there are problems or design flaws with antminer.com? then the pool profitability will average over time directly to the pool fee. In my case the pool fee is 0.9% so the payout is 99.1% PPS + 99.1% txn which averages out to be about 99.5% PPS I've no idea what antminer.com fees are. I have never mined on antminer.com and don't plan on it but if you can believe what they post on their thread this is what I found: Features
0% fees and PPLNS earnings. (The tx fee is not paid out to miners for maintaining cost and the bonus for our engineers.) |

Three blocks yesterday, one today(so far), and showing paid out 66.36798776 btc in the past 24 hours. All blocks are confirmed, still at 8 hour payout setting, and four more hours to go till 24 hours since my last payment. I think I might as well set it for 24 hours, could save them 0.0002 per day if they did pay me 3 times a day.
The last 24 hours includes 101 transactions for something less than 0.001, or 45 of them being at 0.0006*(there's nothing lower). This means, for 101 payouts out of the total of 833 payouts, the fee is about 1/6th the payment for about half those paid. To me that's a lot. So every six paid, you could pay one free, just with the transaction fees on those small payments. It doesn't seem big to some, but 0.0833 per payout run adds up fast, and will be something I never understand the need to do.
The intention was to never be a bank, I know, but please fix the payouts so people that want to be paid more often can be, without added costs to the pool. Requiring a minimum payout of 0.01 would have stopped 548 from being paid until a future run. Maybe a new minimum payout is the way to go, except on the last clean-out payment after the difficulty changes.
Need to fix the Pending Payout to show the correct amount first as its been stuck. I have my payout set to 12 hours and its closing in on 24 hours right now. Edit: Going on 40 hours now without a payment? |

Looks like the payout is stuck. My pending payout has not changed for a while even though my miners are hashing away.  |

2 in a row, good luck streak is back ?
if you think it's coming back then do join my pool *click on sig below*
Looks like 3 blocks ....wish that had happened when I had rented rigs a couple weeks ago. |

My question is what happens to the share count on a orphan block? Is the count thrown out and restarts over or are they still counted?

My first block was 337351 that I found on ck's solo pool.
Other block was 339342 found on aTg's solo pool.
Very nice! How much hash you got? First block was 10 TH/s and the second was 3 TH/s. Congrats!!! Makes we want to point my ants at the solo pool and let them rip. Not like they were earning anything on p2pool anyway  Then I remember that the only BTC block I've found was on p2pool with an S1 last year... EDIT: I actually do have some hash pointed to CK's solo pool... 5 U2 sticks. No luck so far  jonny I keep thinking I will point mine to ck's pool someday soon, but they keep turning a small profit. |

Ok, so now that the block finished with 225% and I stayed in the whole time at or above the normal TH, does that mean the payout should be 225% of the normal @100% lock, right?
I believe your payout does not change, but means it took 2.25 times longer than normal to find the block. |

Unfortunately for us home miners, the best current gear can only be found second hand. SP20s and S5 are out of stock from the manufacturers. ....
Where have you been? S5's are back in stock (shipping 30th March and 9th June), and had 2 price increases already! LOL... my mistake then. When I checked yesterday/day before I swear they weren't on the site. Carry on And to keep this somewhat on topic... it's over 200% in here... I was surprise to hear they were back on sale also. Not sure why the price increase? Also batch 6 states: Quantity limited units scheduled to be sold in the round and it's also the last round of production of S5.And to somewhat stay on topic.... even at 200+% this pool is great.  |

Not solo, but my first block was on BTCGuild #140496
[2011-08-11 15:57:17] Accepted f13a0475 GPU 1 thread 1 pool 1 ... before I ever touched the cgminer code and long before we added the code to report blocks That was 2 or 3 weeks after I first heard about bitcoin Wow that's been a while ago... 50 coin block? |

Except that the hashes that found the block would not be the same as solo or any other pool The fact he found the block was the work he was given. Mining somewhere else, he could have found a block sooner than he did or later, but mining elsewhere would not have found him the same block. True but a guy can dream..  I found my only block 2 years ago on Slush using a USB miner. Me too! Block #267202 Well that was my first block.. found quite a few since, but you always remember the first Mine was #239418 found on 3/6/2013 |

Does anyone have info about how shares are calculated? I was thinking of raising the difficulty on my miners to lower network use, but I really need to understand shares first. I know it'll cause variance, I just want to know I wouldn't mess up my shares in the long run.
Payout changed due to difficulty yesterday.
0.0000000005355110 Last
0.0000000005271197 Current

Why do trolls have so many newbie accounts?
They are hiding behind those new accounts, but for the most part the only ones that take them serious are a couple of other trolls. |

Second issue of running pure solo mine is you need to power a server with decent quality.
You also need to build a server which I think will be at least 500 usd to build. Maybe more like 1000 usd.
What if TS already has a notebook with SSD and Gbit ethernet port to run bitcoind on it? Rabinovitch to bad you were not mining solo with you finding the block.

I see with the difficulty change that happened today the amount of pending payout at the time of change is stored and then the new rate amount then starts.
Pending Payout 0.00711426
-- Bonus (1%) 0.00007114
-- Previous Difficulty 0.01090412
