Well the secret is out. Yes, US East is currently online. The other servers are staying off while I monitor US East's activity.
The shares being sent to US east are valid and being counted, but My Account is currently still in its low-priority DDoS mode where it does not try to communicate with servers (thus no real-time stats getting pulled from US East).
US East is still counting shares. It still had about 75k of share submission data from last night's uptime as well. I'll be worknig on the stat polling/caching system tonight to get Worker Stats available again on a small delay.
keep up the great work eleuthria  |

The ads only appear for < 0.5% donators. Adblock or not, they will not appear unless your donation is at the lowest levels. The site is not "plastered with ads". It has one wide but short google adsense banner ad.
Other ways to make money? I'd be all for it! This was just a way to get something out of the continued growth. The pool's donations per block have been slipping consistently, and these ads on 0.0-0.4% donators are a very good way to normalize the revenue coming from people who don't give back to a pool that is currently demanding many dedicated servers.
Funny, this was an easy way of finding out which forum members dont donate to the cause All ad-complainers are not donating (or at least less than 0.5%).. sheesh... |

How exactly could i do this?
He means babysitting the rigs, and running double the amount of miner instances on the OS, with varying "F" factor [lower priority for the backup instances] yeah.. no. Its called a Python script, which checks and auto changes server. |

Yup, something is wrong, Im also getting connection errors, 6gh/s worth of miners are idle for the last hour T.T
what.... I don't understand why people that have that many GH dont have backups in place. Currently I have less than 1 GH/s and I have a backup in place, if the GHash count of a server is lower than 150 GHash it'll switch to a different server. It does the same if the server has more than 590 GHash. Just use your API. |

With all the layers it is almost irrelevant, but is the hash MD5 or something considered secure? MD5 has been deemed inferior for quite awhile now. It sounds like you use some unique way to make the salt and key very difficult to determine, and that implies encryption and not a one way hash like MD5 or SHA1. So, I am afraid that I did not quite follow what was hashed and stored in the database. Clearly running a lot of crypto and getting a hash of the result for every login would be expensive, do that is why I ask.
The weaknesses in MD5 are largely overhyped. It is still just fine when used in a salted + iterated password hash system. Even shitty old DES would be fine in this system, if not for the tiny keyspace. Don't want to start a fight about password encryption types... but MD5 was not created to encrypt passwords... it was created to check data integrity. Don't forget the beautiful bruteforce rainbowtables you can download. Personally I always use SHA256, which is barely decent. I don't really care how BTCGuild encrypts my password... I can easily recover my account via eleuthria, as I log in with only 2 IP's  And the password is some random string generated by LastPass. |

Here's the question nobody's been asking:
What happens to the thousands of bitcoins the hacker withdrew from Mt. Gox? Mt. Gox can't print Bitcoins like the Fed prints dollars -- BTC are hard as heck to produce.
.... wow. He didnt withdraw them. He tried to withdraw money, but mtgox has a hard cap of $1000 dollars. MtGox got closed soon after. Other compromised accounts probably lost less. |

eleuthria, please put the serverload in some kind of API I don't want to manually switch servers for my miners. Or you somehow fix the balancing |
|

There is no load balancing. btcguild.com => US central server, AFAIK.
Exactly. In fact, for several days there was a message on the main BTC Guild page saying NOT to use btcguild.com as US Central was overloaded. It was setup to do "round robin" load balancing [presumably passing out an address to the least loaded server ... not sure if it had any intelligence to know which servers could handle more load than others]. I remember the message about it pointing to central. I haven't seen it on the site recently though, so I assumed it was back to doing what it should be. Either way, Central has always been the best for me anyway. He turned it off because it couldnt handle the connections. |

what was the crush to the uk server?
Im guessing the 500 GHash increase... |

**********PSA**********
Everyone Directed to btcguild.com Should Redirect Themselves to One of the Following Servers.
uswest.btcguild.com
useast.btcguild.com
uk.btcguild.com
nl.btcguild.com
Everyone directing themselves to btcguild.com is being redirect straight to uscentral.btcguild.com. This is going to cause uscentral.btcguild.com to overload
This is in your best interested to distribute yourselves out. Whats stopping btcguild from using round robin or some other distributing algoritm when going over? that would sovle the single server overload issue directly. Deepbit points you to the closest server when you use their adress so it is possible to do. Edit. everyone mining with the guiminer or other mining softwartes with hardcoded addresses would have to change miners to use those links. he tried round robin, it overloaded the balancer... |

Just try to stay under 80 - 90 C.
As raidjest said, its about luck... and fee's.
Don't forget other pools, BTCGuild, BTCMine, Continuum etc.

Is there a tool online where you can calculate those probabilities? Luck is Luck, it doesn't obey laws of physics My initial observation, got me interested in these odds. For instance what the chance of a pool with a certain hashrate underperforming or overperforming by say 10%? Or 20%. I'd just like to get a better feel for these things. BTW, switched to mining on BTCGuild last night. :-) lucky, this night had amazing rounds on the guild |

a paper clip in the right spot Cheapest solution. I ran with this for a while, using 2x 500 Watt ones. inda not buying your MHash/s speed in your sig.. thats more than 1 THash/s |

I tested BTC Guild and Slush's pool, and I'm making nearly twice as much on Slush's pool. Go figure. I went from Slush to BTC Guild, I'm making about 10% more on BTCGuild than on slush. |

What are the average stale share rates that people are seeing with this pool?
I am just trying to balance my options. Variability (pool size), fees, options, and stale shares [which essentially becomes a fee for all intents and purposes].
0.6% and Im on the high side in the pool. And about the HTTPS, the only real place you will get attacked is on either side of the connection. Man in the middle and SSLStrip and the attacker wins again.... Just don't login on a network you are not sure... just like you wouldnt login on your banking website on a network you dont trust.. |

workers are there for a reason, 1 GPU = 1 worker
it keeps it organized and optimized

Any miner compatobile with Namecoin.
(currently NO, i am not mine Namecoins).
all of them.. |
|
|
|

dont see why not... mybitcoin just gives out addresses...
but cant confirm 100%
|
|
|
|

Only use your own network to login, and use a wired connection...
HTTPS is of the past.. SSLStrip and its gone
