Can you see the website? Does the getwork interface work? PM me your username and I'll see if you're blocked. I blocked a few people who were constantly mining using 'scrypt'.

It's not a bitparking block. We must have shown as the first node to broadcast it that blockchain noticed. You'll notice that most bitparking blocks don't actually appear as bitparking on blockchain.info. The site is pretty inaccurate due to the approach they use. blockorigin is more accurate but it's showing 'unknown' at the moment. It may show who produced it later if it's from a pool that delays stats.

You should be seeing the alt coin balances increasing immediately as you submit shares. Bitcoin balance should increase when we find blocks. What's your username (best to PM it)? Are you sure you've spelt it correctly in your miner?

Yeah it's a tough time. Over the last 25 blocks we've averaged luck of 0.83. But mostly due to the last 4 long blocks. Before those we averaged 1.02 meaning we were ahead.

We've solved more than one block in two weeks - you should have received more than one reward. This round was a long one but we've had short ones too.

Thanks, possibly the page was hit by a web spider. Some point soon I plan to move to automatic payouts over a certain threshold so the pool doesn't hold too many coins.

As discussed on irc, the exchange main page has progress information and there's a thread where people complain how slow things are.

I'll sort something out to reimburse you but it'll take me a couple of days.

There will be 5 minutes more of downtime sometime in the next hour as I apply some fixes for the pool crashes that happened earlier today.

Things should be working now. There was some downtime about 3 hours ago, and 6 hours ago, when the bitcoin daemon crashed. I'll investigate the crashes later today. It seems odd for it to be stable right up until now, the switchover day for the block fork code, so I'll be looking in that area.

Edit: Belay that, we're going down for 5 minutes.

Pool crashed. I'm investigating why but it's back up now.

The only other coins the pool could merge mine are coiledcoin, groupcoin and some other whose name I forget (by the same creator as groupcoin). These aren't really actively traded though,except on an OpenTransactions server which I don't know much about.

If an exchange took it, possibly, If not, probably not.

Pool had a 5 minute restart today to install some updates.

You can tell it's from Bitparking anyway since I have "Bitparking" in the coinbase.

Pool user br*********at ('*' replaces name characters to avoid revealing your user id), you are mining on stratum using an scrypt miner and all your shares are rejecting. You might want to check.

Bitparking pushes the new block out to multiple bitcoin nodes. Depending on which of those broadcasts the block first it gets a different IP address and blockchain.info won't show it as coming from 'Bitparking'.

Nor does DGM. The Slush scoring method has got people thinking that "hop proof" means "must mine continuously".

What is this 5 round thing you are writing about? Where in DGM do they mention 5 rounds? Note this point in the DGM article:

Their seed nodes are down. You need to find and connect to an existing node. If you can fire up your old node and connect to that to get the  blockchain and node addresses to bootstrap.
