just started this bitcoin thing and joined the pool yesterday. using my 5770 im doing about ~175Mhash/s. one thing im not too clear on is if i need to keep the bitcoin.exe app running as well to receive rewards since it has the wallet?

You do not need to keep the bitcoin client running.

No

What's with all the "server gave work from previous block"
It has been at least 5 minutes since the last block was found

Are you using poclbm-mod? Don't do that. Those guys discontinued it.

I would suggest do leave it on, because you help Bitcoin's decentralized network...

btw is there currently anyway to automate the transfer process so mtgox just exactly ever 24 hours transfers a g note to LR ? this is getting tedious

mtgox has an API. You can use https://mtgox.com/code/withdraw.php?name=blah&pass=blah&group1=BTC&btca=bitcoin_address_to_send_to&amount=# to send bitcoins (I haven't used it this way myself). Write a scheduled script on your end that accesses this page every day.

this only works by withdrawing btc back to your wallet not from mtgox to LR

Sorry, I didn't read your question carefully enough.

It says my current reward is this: 4.548e-05 BTC

what the hell does it mean?

You've got the pimped out pool thingy w/e userscript

anyways, it's scientific notation. It means 0.00004548

Ah okay, thanks.

the ability to add more then one worker account

It won't be necessary to register separate worker for every miner instance very soon, I'm working on core improvements...

the ability to see your average hashrate (and what would be cool is to see worker hash rate)

Actually this is already presented on account page, just commented out for some reasons. Try to use greasemonkey script, which enable this in GUI for you...

i also like that the account name changes color if active or not makes it easyer to sort thru

Actually you have time of last submit here already, but agree that some visual thing would be nice.

i like tha bility to have a signature pic to brag bout hash rate

Well, it is so 'cheap' to copy this feature from deepbit and I don't think it is really *needed* .

long polling and instant payout are AWESOME features i hate having to wait if it's a buy or sell kind of market

Long polling is planned (it is related to 'more miner on one account' stuff). I'm not sure if instant payout is so necessary, because you can set threshold to something low and pool will send you money in nearest payout, which is every hour... I don't like 'instant payout' because it is mostly spamming the network; mass payouts every hour are much better from this point.

I have moved 90% of my miners back to Slush since the outage(I have some CPUs in deepbit atm).

Tycho should not be at or near 50% total hash rate for the good of the system. 

You complain about network health in the same post that you mention mining for the very pool that you think is a cause for concern...

Well when you have 13+ cpu miners on separate boxes you don't just wish them back to the pool you want them in.  There was no cause for concern since when I moved them I didn't know everyone was going to deepbit and I came back as soon as the issue was solved.  Please re-read my post and substitute "complain" with "suggest" and "thank" as your mental bias.

The greasemonkey script also has an option to color-code by how recently a worker has sent in data. Look at the first post in this thread for a link to the script.

And any time anybody mentions my script, I always put out the hat for some shameless begging. If the script makes your life easier, please donate: 19hMEAaRMbEhfSkeU4GT8mgSuyR4t4M6TH

-Any date on long-polling?

Working on new pool core, current one has some limitations. Working LP will be ready in following two weeks.

-Could we maybe implement IP Address reputation?

Last attack was not related to getwork layer, so IP graylisting won't help anyhow. But good idea for next DDoS issue .

-As has been mentioned before - any chance you would take on a partner?

There are newly some pool users who has phone contact to me for case of some troubles. I also trust one man enough that I'm considering to give him ssh access to pool machines so they will be able to repair stuff when I will be on summer holiday...

[slush]

You will be happy to know i have desided to stay with slushs pool

Nice to know .

i would very respectfully request if possible a way to (easily) tell if a miner is connected or now as in deepbits blue or red

Well, will be enough coloring the workers (on profile page) in red when there is no share in last minute?

btw is there currently anyway to automate the transfer process so mtgox just exactly ever 24 hours transfers a g note to LR ? this is getting tedious

I have absolutely no idea. There is API on mtgox which give you bitcoin address for sending funds, but have no idea about LR api.

Slush, did you see davout's post regarding using monit to keep bitcoind up? http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5911.0

Yes, I know about that. Unfortunately last troubles were not about freeze/crash. Bitcoind was up and running, but was just crazy slow because of I/O storm for some unknown reason.

[anisoptera]

Last minute is too short. Last 10 at least, and it being configurable is preferred.

[Doktyr]

Thanks Slush.  Keep up the good work.

Today I found similar abnormal activity on bitcoin p2p port like during weekend. I have no idea what was going on, because bitcoin logs say nothing. I decided to limit bitcoin p2p connections only to some range of IPs to eliminate chance that somebody is trying to do something nasty. Unfortunately it looks like those I/O problems caused two invalid blocks (#4371 and #4360). After limiting p2p only to several IPs, p2p and I/O activity stopped. I'll be watching this in following days even more.
