Solo mining was becoming annoying without proper hasing power.
What do you think is good hashing power to go solo? over 1gh?
Those beautiful days you could mine solo at 1GH/s will never return. At the current difficulty, I'd say you need at least 5GH/s to think about it. In other words, you should probably stop thinking about it. |

In other words, you should probably stop thinking about it. Would it annoy you if I told you that I mined my first 50 BTC solo, with a quad-core CPU? :-) I used my puny 5870 (340 Mhash/s) to mine quite a few blocks solo, too. But those days are, as you say, sadly long gone :-( |

Warning!During last two days, three users reported that somebody attacked their pool accounts and steal their bitcoins. All users told me that they used weak passwords or even same password as login  . I highly recommend to all users to change their weak passwords to something stronger to protect your funds! You can change your password using 'Forgot username/password' link on login page.

By the way, webserver is pretty overloaded last two days and crashing more often than I want . Initially there was few thousand pageviews per day back in December and January. Now we're on few milions pageviews (including json stats)... I'll move website to much stronger hardware tomorrow, hope it will keep up for following few hours. |

Were you able to mine on slush throughout all of this? My Diablo miner kept saying "Unable to connect..." (or something like that), at the same time the website kept giving me 502 errors. It would be nice to know what happened.... it is a little concerning that a similar event at the same time occurred to the two largest pools. |

I was mining on slush all evening until a short while ago. The website went down but as far as I could tell they never knocked the pool offline. Got a lot of miner idle though, so I set myself up a proxy. |

Please, what kind of proxy? Reconnecting you to backup pools when main is down? How is it done?
