There is a thread for discussing alternate pools: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53983.0 Please keep the discussion in this thread to the topic of the Ars pool. I really don't think I'm asking too much here.

Surely there is some better thread/forum to discuss random other pools, their merits and drawbacks, etc. Can we keep this thread related to ArsBitcoin, please? My offer to help with infrastructure needs still stands. Is/was BurningToad really running this pool entirely by himself? Does anyone know what would be needed to get this pool back on its feet?

The bill this last month was ~$400+ with the two servers + bandwidth costs. Could you elaborate on your infrastructure needs? I may be able to provide you with some low-to-no-cost space, bandwidth, etc. if I could better understand the resource requirements.

Quote from: Xer0 on June 20, 2011, 12:22:03 AM any way without setting up apache? have windows and a linux vserver for use basically i just want to take the salt from my line in the csv, then try some of the passwords i mostly use. If you were, for example, the first line in the file: Code: 1,jed,jed@thefarwilds.com,$1$E1xAsgR1$vPt0d/L3f81Ys3SxJ7rIh/ Use the following command on practically any linux box (all you need is openssl installed): Code: $ openssl passwd -1 -salt E1xAsgR1 You will then be prompted for the password and shown the full salted-hash value. Repeat as necessary.

Quote from: Xer0 on June 20, 2011, 01:08:10 AM I dont know how people manage to remember dozens of different long passwords. KeePass Password Safe I'm sure there are others.

It was a hobby project that got out of hand quickly. You don't need a million dollars to store passwords properly. See http://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/ for example. The software libraries for doing this correctly are free.

The web server at https://btcmine.com/ is configured incorrectly. The issuer CA bundle is not being sent. This will be a problem for some browsers, but not others. Whoever provided you with the certificate should have provided a CA bundle, and you should configure your web server to send it along with your site's certificate.

Quote from: sipa on May 15, 2011, 01:08:56 PM You need on average 4295*difficulty Mhash before you generate a block Can you explain how you arrived at that number? Why is it 4295? Also, by "on average" do you mean the same thing that I mean if I say that when brute forcing a symmetric-key cipher, I will on average find the correct key at halfway through the key space?

Thanks for writing this, Kiv. It's really handy. A donation is on the way. If I may make a suggestion, I think a graph tab would be really nice, with hash rate on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. I'm also among those who'd love to see GUIMiner working on Linux.
