Don't know what you did, but the pool is not working for shit. I have changed nothing in my scrypt or in my bat file, but I am getting an endless stream of "Found block for pool 0!" but NO "Accepted."
ONe thing I find intolerable is to have my computer crunching numbers uselessly. Fix it!!!!!
All I did was to compile the new coindaemon and change the block time from 40 to 60 sec. This looks suspiciously like a sha256 miner connected. I just tried to throw one of my ASICs on it and got something similar, shares found on pool but rejected/not accepted. The 7950 I threw on it works just fine.
I admittedly have no idea how pool software work, but you probably shouldn't be changing it to 60 seconds yet. The fork isn't happening until block 312k.
All coins are carried over... All a hardfork means is that you won't be on the network unless you update your client before the hardfork occurs. So just update your client and you have nothing to worry about.
