I guess the antminer units are semi-icarus compatible? I haven't looked at their protocol myself yet.

Not sure if it was a network blip or what it was. It looks like everyone are connected again?

Are we down? I can't connect, and pool hash power is dropping precipitously.
Website is up.
I contacted the anti ddos people. Let's see if they can figure it out. It looks like some users were unable to connect but are getting back a few at a time. |

Exactly right, CPU mining was removed from the client. Even the fastest CPU is completely useless for BTC mining.

Hey guys  ive a question - when will the Bitminter Client official support Antminer u1? I can use him, but with a short delay because of selftest error No, sorry, no Antminer support yet. Hope to add it for a later version though. |
|

Where exactly does that command go? in a config file or ? anywhere ive typed it I get a nnot an executable file or something like that? will I need to change all the drivers on my usb's reboot then try cgminer, if I want to upgrade I need to learn how to use it.
You can type it in a command prompt (windows) or terminal window (linux and mac os x). Typing it every time is tiresome. You can instead put it in a .bat script (windows) or sh script (linux and mac os x). Then you just start the script instead of having to type so much. Or you can define it all in a config file. |

question to the doctor antminer sticks are flooding the market they are a killer stick. when do we get support for these?
Looking into this. No ETA yet. |
|
|
|
is there any way u guys can make a SCRYPT mining platform similar to this.. is there one already out there??
I may add support for that. We'll see. |
|
|
|
In any case, ou luck an change with better rates, so hopefully we can et it back up.
Well, luck won't improve with more hashrate, but the impact of good and bad luck will be reduced. |
|
|
|
Also sucks we go from 12 blocks a day down to as of right now, 2 ;-/
Hashrate has dropped some. We are down to 6.5 blocks per day. 2 in a day can happen with bad luck, but it's not the new norm. The hashrate will go back up again. |

Can somebody explain for me (or link to an explanation) the reason for the extra long shift that ended at 2014-01-03 02:10? I understand some server moves have been going on ... were we down for awhile? My bfgminer crashed at that time and I only submitted minimal work for that shift before I realized and came back up.
Yes, the data center outage caused mining to stop for a while and that's the reason we took longer to finish one of the shifts. Try the latest version of bfgminer, hopefully the crashing when being disconnected is fixed. |

so, no file needed? just type that command with my user(worker)name and pw into the X-Terminal that opens up on cgminer and i'm off? if so, I can do that...lol Thanks mate, And Happy New Year,may it be a fruitful one.
Pretty much. You'll need to have cgminer installed and in your PATH. Or cd to where it is and use ./cgminer instead of just cgminer to start it. Also you may want to put that in a shell script so you don't have to type it all every time. Or put the pool setup in a config file instead of on command line. But this is a quick way to get started. |

Tnanks, I had better start learning how to use cgminer for Bitminter then, have it dowloaded but I believe I need to make a file so it knows to connect to the site?
Basic operation: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u user_worker -p X |

Hi, another Newb Question, will these newer USB Devices AntMiner/Blue/redFury etc. work in a USB Hub alongside the basic block eruptors I have? They could massivelly improve my Ghs on the little £ that I have, I don't want to sell some of my RC Gear to find they are incompatible.
Bitminter client support for blue/red fury is not quite 100% yet. Antminer support I hope to add in the future. But it should certainly work with bfgminer or cgminer. At least in theory. Someone else will have to answer on what kind of usb hub and hub power supply would be needed to support that. |

Most users are back on the main server. We have 300-400 users still on the backup server, and their hashrate is not showing on the website. They should switch over eventually. The DNS TTL is 10 minutes, but some network equipment just ignores this, so it may take a while to update for some users. Just keeps saying it's dead. Nothing's changed in the config has it?
No changes. hy, i have i little connection Problem too. all 20-30 min, no respondering from Server Stratum+tcp. for shot time.
no cry, only a info to the admin.
Any better now? After the data center issue the ddos attackers renewed their efforts to attack the mining server. Some users have been having issues connecting during the attacks. The main thing is to not attempt to reconnect to the mining server too quickly over and over, which happens if you restart the miner many times. Wasn't getting anything other than it couldn't find the address... think there was some general internet flakiness going on, my ISP was out for an hour yesterday morning, then after that came back up, there was a handful of sites unreachable, and some very slow. Has been staying on bitminter overnight.
Host not found? Probably a DNS issue. Could have to do with your ISP outage. |

My miners are hashing but the site shows 0 and total is 28,19 Thps... Will our work be lost or?
No work is lost. But live hashrates are only reported from one server. It will look wrong as we are transitioning from backup to main server. Should look normal again soon. |

Status update: Switching back to main mining server. Live hashrate display on our website may be wrong during the transition. I think it might be wise drharibo to post what you actually updated in your latest software update mentioned in post #5475. Now I know the answer is right above it. But as our bad luck has coincided with that, I think that is where people are getting the silly idea you changed how we mine or something.
Nothing was changed with the way we mine. This question comes up every time we some bad luck, there's always someone asking if it is something wrong. But out of 100 blocks on average one of them will have 99%+ CDF. Bad luck will happen sometimes. Same thing I've been saying for 2.5 years: the mining server is very careful to check all incoming work for whether it can create a block, and this is logged. |

Getting Communication error http status code 500 on 1.4.3
The data center where our mining server is hosted appears to be completely down. It's being worked on. Updates will follow on twitter, facebook, google+ and bitcointalk. Apologies for the downtime. |

Where is post 5475? |

I gave you an out! you can just blame it all on me!  Well, thank you. So was block 278333 ours or not? It shows up on blockchain.info but isn't on the Bitminter list.
No. blockchain.info just says it was relayed by Bitminter. That means the block was propagated through one of our bitcoin peer-to-peer nodes (and all the other bitcoin nodes in the network). It doesn't actually mean anything. Unfortunately http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/blocklist.php (which actually attempts to see who created the blocks) doesn't appear to have the latest blocks right now. |
